JOMJ87 Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 I like the 6th one down the best and the bottom one pretty good. I would want all the staroger containers built in kinda like a service truck. I thought of doing a flat bed where everything has a home. I'm talking laying all my wheeling items out and making boxes just for each of them. Maybe layered trays with axles and steering then one for tools. I really like the 6th ones door that open for the tire. Also have them all lockable so i don't have to remove them after every trip. Always ready is my MOTO. Cole
1999MJ Posted December 16, 2007 Author Posted December 16, 2007 decided to scrap the flat bed idea. I found a nice short bed for a gret deal that I just couldn't pass up. Just getting it fitted up and I'll post some pictures up later on in the week
1999MJ Posted December 23, 2007 Author Posted December 23, 2007 here's a couple quick pictures. Got the bed mounted and finished up my steering
comancheon33 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Looking really good. Whats your plans for a front bumper?
1999MJ Posted December 23, 2007 Author Posted December 23, 2007 Thanks, Not really sure about the bumpers yet. Have a couple more things to finish up before I get to that but I'll be making them along with a set of sliders.
1999MJ Posted January 24, 2008 Author Posted January 24, 2008 may be getting rid of this one in the next couple weeks. Just putting it out there for right now. Not 100% sure if I need to or not.
1999MJ Posted February 6, 2008 Author Posted February 6, 2008 Well it turns out I don't have to sell it. Finally got everythingt buttoned up and got it on the road. So far it's the best handeling lifted Jeep I have ever owned. No vibrations,shakes,death wabble or bump steer. I ended up with about 8 inches of lift up front and 9" in the rear which should drop a bit once I get some weight in there(spare tire and tools). Could stand to be a little lower but it will work for now. I will be going to 37's in the future and some trimming with a HP 44. Next is some paint which I hope to get around to doing in early spring. I'll try to get some flex shots up tomorrow
1999MJ Posted March 2, 2008 Author Posted March 2, 2008 Sooner or later I'm going to swap the 97+ front clip on here but for now I just put the 97 front flairs on. Wanted to do something with the rear ones so they kind of matched the fronts. So I took a trip the the local JY and got a set of flairs for $10.00 and started sanding untill I got them to look like this Almost look like the fronts right? The plastic is verry thick on the top section of these flairs. I achieved this look buy taking a red 3m abrasive disc on a 90 degree die grinder and took down the majority on the plastic with that. Then came back with a DA sander with 80g then 120g then primed tham and finish sanded them with 320 and painted them with plastic coat bumper paint. Took me the good part of a saturday[/img]
mfpdm Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Wow, that's sharp. Do you have a full side shot to get the overall look? :cheers:
1999MJ Posted March 3, 2008 Author Posted March 3, 2008 here's a full shot of the truck that I took today
offroader461 Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 my "CHIEF" is jealous and so am i she looks purrrty :cheers:
mfpdm Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Looks great. We had our's painted to match the truck but I may have to try this on the spare set to see how it would look. Again nice work. :cheers:
500 MJ Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 So those back flares came from a '97-'01 XJ? I like the look.
JeepcoMJ Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 So those back flares came from a '97-'01 XJ? I like the look. no, they're original flares, sanded down to look like 97-01 flares. you'd have to do some plastic welding to make 97-01's fit the rear. fronts are 97-01 though.
1999MJ Posted March 4, 2008 Author Posted March 4, 2008 So those back flares came from a '97-'01 XJ? I like the look. Jeepco's got it. The fronts are the 97-01's and the rear are stock MJ flairs just did a little sanding and reforming of the plastic.

HOrnbrod Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 here's a full shot of the truck that I took today Great job on the flares. Your rig looks very good. I've always liked the Chief hood decals. They look super in black on your white truck. Been looking for a complete set of these hood decals for a long time. Stupid question, but anyone have some laying around?? Or know of a source for repros? :cheers:

500 MJ Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Depends on how much they are, but please keep me posted, I'm in for a MAYBE.
1999MJ Posted April 2, 2008 Author Posted April 2, 2008 Still working on getting the decals made for everyone that's interested but in the mean time I picked up a 94 Cherokee complete and I will be doing an HO swap on my 88 Chief. When I swaped the engine in a couple months back I got a 95 HO long block and stuffed the Renex injection on there. So all the wiring from this 94 will be going in the Chief. I also blew up the BA10 ( big surprise there) So I will also be swaping in the auto trans and my Tera 4:1 transfercase I had from My grand cherokee. Stay tined for some pictures and updates I also got seate and started making some armor and bumpers for it. I have alot of crap going on at the moment. I will be adding pictures as I make progress.
1999MJ Posted August 8, 2010 Author Posted August 8, 2010 I haven't updated this build up in a while... Been DDing this truck and have been letting it go down hill a little bit. Still haven't built front or rear bumpers or the HO swap... Did swap in an AX-15 finally and a tera 4:1 transfercase. I have decided to swap on the 97+ front clip and paint it. Went with an early 70's AMC color.. Not your everyday paint color but wanted to be a little diferent. Here's a link to the color. It's called renegade yellow. What do ya think? http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibra ... s-pg01.jpg
