Project Spector

[Spectormj]

I feel its time to start my build thread and lay some ideas out as I work on the build 

 

I drive an 86 mj with the underpowered 2.8 auto trans 

 

Some of my plans right now are new paint to take it from silver to a midnight black with red accents such as my rokshots in the grill 

 

I am going to have my mechanic build me custom axles and help me with the motor/trans swap

 

ride height as it sits right now is fairly stock with 30s under it

My plan is to go to 4.5 all the way around might go abit higher just because of the SOA I'm planing for the rear 

 

ill have pics up this weekend of what I'm dealing with so far

Now theres a graphic package i havent seen before. Great looking Truck!  :thumbsup:

[Spectormj]

Thanks 

I have no clue what model mj it is cause ive seen the Sport and the others and i keep looking at mine and i ask What is this model 

Long wheelbased with the bars and a odd graphic

[Minuit]

The 86 trucks always seem like they have the best paint schemes. I'm looking forward to seeing this rig in person :thumbsup:

[Spectormj]

Soon as i can afford to repaint I'm goin midnight black for paint 

the graphic may get re made in all red 

[Spectormj]

Once i get a bit more time and more metal I'm plaing on doing a cage like Jbains Cheif build 

might get newer seats to replace my bench but thats still in the air 

[Spectormj]

Picked up a headliner backing board from Dave92cherokee and now i need to get some 3m spray foam and the cloth I'm going to use to make the camo headliner

I want to go duckblind or similar style camo  for it

Oh, nice truck  :thumbsup:

[Spectormj]

Chair and table

I'll have some pics up once I get my headliner done

[Spectormj]

[Spectormj]

I was able to get those logs into the bed with a kubota tractor 

[Spectormj]

Wow, the antler shifter is the most redneck thing I think I've seen since I saw a Corvette body on a lifted 4x4 chassis.

[Spectormj]

I pride myself in my redneckery 

Its an eye grabber

Wow, the antler shifter is the most redneck thing I think I've seen since I saw a Corvette body on a lifted 4x4 chassis.

My thoughts exactly. I see a lot of redneck stuff every day and this tops the list for this week.

[Spectormj]

i had an antler floating around so saw and drill means NEW shifter for me

eventual plans for my mj Black & Camo

[Spectormj]

Just talked to Jokers wild Fab shop in Atwood tn and they are on board for doing my cage 

gunna be good to get that done so i can beat up on my truck a bit more and not worry as much if i hit a deer like i almost did today

[SW86]

Hey I wanted to talk to them about an exo. Was the pricing good? You have a number I can get? I meant to give you a shout on WTO

[Spectormj]

Ive got to get JBains specs on the tubeing he used i should have a price tonight or tomorrow my mj will be the first at jokerswild for an internal

Jonathan Martin would be able to help ya on the price since your doing exo cage it will be alot tighter welds

I would exo mine but its my dd and i don't need the exo

Id say call Jonathan and check on the exo
