Goose Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Goose started out as a humble, stock mj in Manhattan, ks. Made its way to Colorado to spend It's life as a winter truck for an elderly man. Until now. 1988 mj pioneer 258,000 original miles, 50k on rebuilt 4.0 and ax-15 Np231, stock axles and.07 gears No a/c Stock suspension Added a poor man's 3" lift(slayers, shackles, add a leaf coming soon) procomp shocks and stabilize, new tie rods, ball joints, muffler, and clutch ms. Added 3 100w kc 6" lights on top, 2 130w 6" explorers for some trail lighting, next are some reverse lights. Took the roof rack from a buddies vw bus and made a rack for the bed, to hold camping gear. A buddy of mane drives the "zombie slayer" jeep. Thinking I might go this route for paint. That's it so far. Next on the list is interior, switch to buckets, console, and a sound bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goose Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 It was really simple. 2 pieces of 2" square tubing cut to about 1/2" short on either side, welded some angle iron on the ends and drilled some holes, bolted it up. Only thing I don't like is that the rack is made from conduit...not very strong. I may get a different one, depending on how well this one works.

Goose Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Time for a new bumper '13 Rubi, 4" lift, 35" tires buried to the frame. Took 2 winches to free him after my bumper was sacrificed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadinator Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 There is a reason that they only recommend about 2K lbs for pulling with the bumper. :doh: Anything above that you need a high rated tow hitch. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 No big loss on the bumper, at least it was a Fey and not OEM :) Dang you for stealing the nicest MJ in the state of KS. They just aren't that clean around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 White paint is good at hiding dents and scratches. Also taking pictures a little further back helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche County Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Looks nice. I like long bed MJs. Many a time I wished I had more room in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Took it out and played with it. An offroad park here in OK holds a mud bog comp twice a year. Big alcohol injected trucks, buggys, etc. We all come watch, hit some trails or the river, or smaller mud pits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
