reson46 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Nice job on the bob. Makes me want to get off my butt and get around to this on mine. :thumbsup: Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3RESQ Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 After looking at it and owning two shortbeds, it really looks odd to me though. I keep finding myself wanting to reach into the screen and move the flare and rear axle forward! ;) I feel ya. It should look better porportion wise once I get the planned rear bumper done. I debated on the short and long bed option and decided It was most important to me to have the extra wheelbase. After having front digs on my last rig (and will on this MJ) I prefer a longer wheelbase as long as it has cutters and dig. I'll be glad on the big trips like Moab were wheelbase is a godsent.

H3RESQ Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 I blame myself for not testing it prior to buying MJ, but what a pain this morning. I woke up to 3 inches of snow and the excitment of driving in it. Put the MJ into 4wd and ......nothing. Just spun up the hill driving sideways because it just stayed 2wd. Guess I'll be getting under it to see whats up later today. What a bummer...paid $3500 for a 2wd MJ....lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driggity Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I discovered the same thing with mine after the November storm we had. The center axle disconnect wasn't engaging so I just locked it in place. Pretty simple and free fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3RESQ Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 I played around with it a little and got it working. It still hesitates to engage but it will engage. The t-case and axles are coming out anyway for better stuff so it works well enough for now. Took it on maiden voyage yesterday. Played a little, did well for a stock, open diff rig.

2000Eliminator Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yeah the original builder Woodkrawler sold it to go4lo in Indiana. It's too bad the pictures on his whole build thread are gone now. It was a great template for any builders wanting to do the 97+ conversion including myself. I offered go4lo 10k cash 3 weeks ago and he said he wanted to hold out for more.

I consider it $ well spent. I'll be the third owner. I'm picking it up from Indiana. Looking forward to it. I'm tired of building my own rigs...time to buy one instead of build it.
