88Mj Build

[88jeepmj]

I bought my first Jeep this weekend. It is an 88 MJ.  4.0 auto AW4, NP231, Dana 30/35 3.55, long bed.   She is not the best looking thing but she runs strong and for the price of $700 it was hard to pass up. Have been looking for a Jeep because I Just finished lifting my friends ZJ six inches and he is running 33's now and will be going places I do not want to put my old Ranger. I will be putting it on 33's shortly and will be doing the needed lift though I have not figured out what one I am going with yet.

 

The Plan-ish

 

1) I am thinking about finding a ZJ donor truck and swapping the d35 and coil set up.  Just so I can cut the bed down more ( bed is rusty and 8ft so its a little long for the trail any tips info or ideas on this are greatly appreciated)

2)  Looking at probably a 6.5 lift

3) Fixing the rest of the body/damage ( floor pans rusty 97+ front end new doors and fenders and pass cab corner)  maybe some paint although the camouflage is growing on me.

4) misc. custom rear bumper, recovery points, ect.

 

if I can figure out how to post pictures I will add some soon.
