Very Nice! jamminz.gif

 

Can't wait till ours will be ready for it. What made you decide not to go over the bed rails?

 

:cheers:

 

Probably Taz's "experience"

yes that was the major reason, plus i don't really like the look of it over the rails. $425 was the damage, but i got a $40 "discount" because i was waiting around for the guy to get off the phone for 15 minutes and he felt bad.

I will say your MJ is one of my favorites. The bedliner looks great.

 

It should look good once everything is put back in.

 

Some nice bumpers and a winch would be great to finish the look.

 

It's a Jeep it will never be done. A 4.7" HO stroker engine would be sweet.

 

I could spend $20,000.00 building mine easy. It wouldn't even look close to stock.

 

Yours is almost too nice, I'd feel bad about any trail damage on yours.

 

Mine will be meant to be beat on and bounced off stuff.

Man, that just makes me want to run down to the LineX place here and get mine done... I don't have the Four+ Benny's to spare right now...

 

Did you do anything other than take all your stuff out of the bed... any other prep work, etc or does LineX scrub bed and stuff before it gets sprayed...

just bring them a empty bed, and they do the rest. turn around time is 2.5 hours.

Your truck is looking great.

 

Is that a factory roll bar?

 

Thanks.

 

Rollbar is out of a first gen dodge dakota.

 

Do you have any side view pictures with the roll bar installed?

here you go. it wasnt a direct bolt in as the rollbar was about 2in too wide and the angle of the wheel well mounts were wrong. it took me about 2 hours to make it work.

well i've been working on here quite a bit lately in an effort to get ready for this upcoming Badlands run. i've been having DW a lot lately so i've been checking things off the list and replacing whats bad.

 

replaced all control arm bushings

got tires rebalanced

 

need to:

replace steering box cause the shaft has play in it

investigate tracbar cause that is also sloppy

 

...hopefully... the dw should be stopped so i don't have to worry about that.

 

also found that my rubber brake line that goes from the bottom of the box to the top of the axle has a tear in it and i can almost see through it. i don't know how its been working, so i guess its time to put on my rubicon express brake lines front and rear.

i'll get you that steering box this weekend wade, or at least have the xj set up on the cow yard here so you can pull what you need. lots to do on this end of things too.

 

oh, when're you heading down to the badlands on that friday? wanna convoy?

Is it possibly the differential vent line and not the brake line?
