87MJTIM Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 After 11 months, I have my MJ back. It got a full restoration. Engine rebuilt. Trans and T-case serviced. Rust repair and a new paint job. Attached are before and after pictures. Pre resto. Looking a little tired. Today. Looking showroom new. The drivers floor. Fred Flintstone would be at home. Today. Por 15 to complete. Drivers side rear wheel well. During repair. Today. From the rear. Is there something missing? I know! A Comanche Club window sticker!

MJCARENA Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 You have a dana 44. Is it a metric ton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87MJTIM Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 No, it was not originally metric. I did purchase the rear leafs from General Springs last year. They have the "miliary wrap' with an extra booster leaf. They give the truck 3" of rear lift. I had installed 2" spacers up front to even it out. Although, the rear sits higher.

HOrnbrod Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Nice job, I love it. The chrome is where it should be and looks great with the original factory gold paint. The side moldings and red pinstripe add to it also. Since you have a little lift there now, some 31's would look good to fill in the wheel wells a bit. Great looking longbed mate. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
