Ellman605 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hey all. New here to the unibody side of jeeps. I had a built wrangler, economy hit hard, and I traded it for a civic. Fast forward about a year, I purchased a bike, realized it wasn't for me, and came back to the jeep side. Without further adeiu, here she is. 1988 mj base short bed. 2wd, 4.0, cruddy Peugeot ba 10/5. First plan is a 4wd conversion. On the hunt for a front axle, driveshaft, transfer case, and tranny. If anyone is in the Dallas or surrounding areas and has or knows someone who has these parts, PLEASE let me know. Here she is as she sat when I got her. Tiny tires had to go. After getting bigger tires and new rims, I primed it for now to get rid of the peeling clear coat. Very bad job but it'll get the job done for now. It needs a new track bar, the passenger frame side is very very bad. Have big plans, just waiting for the cash. Thanks for looking and look forward to being involved with y'all!

Ellman605 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Been low on cash. Still waiting for that mystical donor XJ for the cheap price I need to roll up to my house. I've gotten a PM from someone near me with an 88 XJ 4x4. Says he'll sell for cheap. He only needed the body parts. We'll see! I'm off on vacation tomorrow through next saturday, I REALLY need to do the track bar when I get back. DW is bad. Today I plastidipped the front grill. I needed to do something so I could throw something on here. It's tiny progress, but progress is progress i suppose. It's just temporary until I get back and i'll hit it with something better. I'll be doing a front clip swap anyway in the future so this is just for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88whitemanche Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 What's wrong with the passenger frame side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellman605 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Looking under it, the frame is all straight. What do you see that i'm missing? :dunno: Edit: Are you talking about the grill? It's not screwed in all the way. Missing some clips :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellman605 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 No big updates yet. We'll be painting her yellow next wednesday. But I took her out and she finally drove me to work under her own power, no death wobble or high idle anymore :) I'm going backwards though! Tomorrow I am picking up a bench seat to get rid of the buckets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
