senatorfrisky Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 hey long bed owners! (and everyone else) glad to be here. XJ owner, but buying more MJ parts... I have an important question to ask you. what is the measurement, in inches, from the front of a long bed to the center of the wheel opening? i'm having a custom frame made to put a long bed on to tow behind my XJ, but the bed is over an hour away, and i know someone on this board has an encyclopedic brain ;) thanks!

neohic Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Don't have any measurements right off hand, but do you have any pictures of said project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I believe Hornbrod (if not him then someone else) has posted the dimensioned plan view of the longbed frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Just measured it up, it's about 45" from front of the bed to center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I believe Hornbrod (if not him then someone else) has posted the dimensioned plan view of the longbed frame. It was I, but I don't have the wheel wells drawn in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejenn2 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I can confirm 45 inches if you want to be more exact 45.5 inches this was a measurement from the out side as I have a bed liner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I found the shortbed frame blueprint. It shows the forward and rear spring eye locations, so just add the difference between the SWB and LWB to the dimensions ahead of the forward spring eye and you've got it.

Bobolink Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 A number of years ago, I measured and wrote down the inside dimensions from the front wall of the bed to the rear edge of the bed floor for a mat ...88½"; from front inside wall to front of wheel well.... 27"; from rear of wheel well to rear edge of bed floor .... 27"; which puts center of wheelwell 44¼" from inside front wall of the bed. Wheel wells are centered on the bed on the long bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Foolish move if the OP believes he's going to pre-build the frame and pull it to the bed and set it down and bolt it up. Put it on a trailer and drag the thing home. An hour away is nothing, that's a daily drive for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Maybe the OP making the frame for a mj bed trailer . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Maybe the OP making the frame for a mj bed trailer . He is. But the bed is an hour away from where the trailer is being built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Sounds like a recipe for disaster. And only an hour away? :shake: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
