mikekaz1 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 How bad is the rubbing? ....wanna know the truth.... it took me 15 maneuvers to back it 90 degrees into its parking spot from this angle. it hits near instantly. even with the 3in coils. i have 5 in coils i might try when i do the rear springs over to metric tons. but ill probably be trading these for some 31s in the end
mikekaz1 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 I have a parts longbed metric ton, but new England has left the springs in rough shape structurally so I just took the plunge! just bought a pair of hellcreek metric ton springs. excited to see the quality and fitment! :banana:
ggcnash Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 You gonna love emI have the 3" lift pair on mine they are awesome.

jeep.comanche1992 Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Here's an interior pic. Bench seat black dash and gray plastics with '97cherokee door Very clean! Love the no-nonsense simplistic nature of this interior.. Does the bench come stock with this particular trim? or did you add it? And that steering wheel.. airbags had to go and ruin everything. Thanks a lot OBAMA

And that steering wheel.. airbags had to go and ruin everything. Thanks a lot OBAMA This one came stock with gray buckets. But I swapped this bench out from the plow truck. And ya I love having no airbag!
mikekaz1 Posted July 26, 2015 Author Posted July 26, 2015 Sold off that 1986. Back to 2 red and 2 black!
mikekaz1 Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 Thanks! EVENTUALLY one of those other beds will become a matching trailer. Of course I like taking on way to many projects at one time.
mikekaz1 Posted August 8, 2015 Author Posted August 8, 2015 Prepping the rear for the Napier flares.... previous owner apparently LOVED bondo
mikekaz1 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Posted August 9, 2015 Cut out the rot and put some patch panels in And reluctantly used some bond to even things out from the old stuff
jpnjim Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Nice thread and Jeeps! (now I know who's buying up everything on Craigslist around here! :thumbsup: ) Did you put the Metric Ton springs in yet? I'm thinking of getting a set for my 89' 2wd SB (220lb me + 2000lbs of pellets should test the 2205 rating :yes: ) Flare instal looks good so far, do they look like they'll flex, or break if/when they rub trees? Keep the pics coming :cheers:
mikekaz1 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Posted August 9, 2015 Rear tires sit a little far back in the wheel well but I think this is from how saggy and warn out they are.

Keep the pics coming :cheers: I haven't put the metric springs in yet. These are still the (sigh) factory 900lb springs. This one I actually got in lower CT like two years ago. My first and favorite. I really like the flares, they are WAY thicker then my bushwackers I had on my TJ before. The only complaint I (kinda) have is the edge trim. Its an L shaped edge trim. With only one adhesive edge. And some of the tight body line curves don't stick as well as I'd like. For now its OK and will stay but I may swap it out with just regular C channel door trim.
