Trapn6.0 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I just joined up here. Awesome site I've learned a lot. I'm a MJ newbie so bear with. This is my new project. 1990 MJ with a 4.0 and not sure what manual transmission in it. 4x4. 155k on it. I already see how everyone here likes pics so ill up load some. The white one is the running one. And the red one is the parts donor. Got a 2 for one deal. Sorry about crappy cell phone pics let me know what you think
Trapn6.0 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 Yea not shure if I want to keep it or put on the bed from the red donor truck. Really nice bed though.
88whitemanche Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Sweet! What are your plans for the truck?
Jakesjeepmj1988 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 very cool i have never seen a utility bed either if i were you i would drive both of them haha. hmmm i wonder what a lifted utility bed comanche would look like? jake
Trapn6.0 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 Planning on minimum 4 inch lift. Putting stock mirrors back on. I scored a instrument cluster from a XJ today from the junk yard for 20 bucks. Needs a lot of cleaning and everything maintenance wise needs up to date. It's been sitting for awhile. I'd like a new paint job and an off road style front bumper. Good news is no rust under floor or anywhere. It was fleet maintained.
Trapn6.0 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 Any opinions are welcome to. Also new rims and tires of course. Needs a radio not even a factory one in it.
Biotex Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 That utility bed looks like a chuck box to me! :idea: Install slide out components like a stove... Plenty of room for spare parts... Tools... I love it! Great tow rig for the red one seeing you are in CO.
RynoMJ Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 very cool i have never seen a utility bed either if i were you i would drive both of them haha. hmmm i wonder what a lifted utility bed comanche would look like? jake This would be cool to see! This thing is awesome!
Trapn6.0 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 Thank you I'm still up I'm the air on what to do with the interior. It's the deep red or burgundy. Gotta find a better shift knob other than the current golf ball lol.
relyt120 Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 sweet trucks. where are you? I really like that utility bed! Welcome! :waving:
Trapn6.0 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 Any opinions on rocky road outfitters lift kits?
Trapn6.0 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 I tried searching on here but I didn't see much on them or the BDS kit.
ComancheKid45 Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 That work body truck is pretty sweet! and youve already got a parts rig.....youll be right at home here! haha
mnkyboy Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 The Rocky road kits are missing a lot of parts that you would want, once you add everything thier low price is now as high or higher then everyone elses. Thier products are decent but they are usually slow to ship and several people have reported customer service issues. As for BDS I have no experience with them but I have never heard a bad thing about them and they are often recommended.
Trapn6.0 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 Thank you for your input. Does the AAL kits make for a stiff ride?
Trapn6.0 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 That work body truck is pretty sweet! and youve already got a parts rig.....youll be right at home here! haha Thank you it's a nice work body I think I'll leave it. Makes a nice place to lock everything up.
mnkyboy Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Your gonna have better luck asking questions in the tech section,a lot more people will see them then in this section.
comanchedude Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Totally cool I think!... have to ditch the huge rear bumper....dammm very cool i have never seen a utility bed either if i were you i would drive both of them haha. hmmm i wonder what a lifted utility bed comanche would look like? jake
comanchedude Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 yes.. if you have the money get a set of the springs listed in the MJ tech section they may give you a few inch lift for the rear (maybe 3)and they are killer looking springs. the front is easy get springs and control arms and adjustable track bar and longer shocks all around and done.. RC, rustys,RE.BDS, whoever you like best and gets you a good deal.I have run RE.RC,and rustys parts they are worked. if you want to go higher than 3 then I recommend go long arm and soa on rear and be done.. love the utility bed. Thank you for your input. Does the AAL kits make for a stiff ride?
MancheKid86 Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 i think the utility bed is bad @$$, jack er up, put some big tires on it and ull have a utility trail truck, haul all your parts with ya! :D
