Jeep Driver Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found I'm lifting the front one more inch tomorrow night. Sometime in the next week I'll clean her up and take better pics for the build thread. I gave the wife three wheels to choose from......I think she made the right choice. :)
Megadan Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 I really love the look, but I have to admit that when I first saw the photos that your truck was a scale model lol.
Incommando Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 I miss the Ravines and stripes... Image Not Found I do as well
Jeep Driver Posted May 27, 2015 Author Posted May 27, 2015 I really love the look, but I have to admit that when I first saw the photos that your truck was a scale model lol. Yeah, I admit, that's funny. :P
yellaheep Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 While the important thing is that this MJ is getting used and enjoyed...... I'm another fan of its previous look. Not digging the wheels at all. Stripes just make the truck. Now it looks like that Harvest Gold fridge in my grandma's house...... sorry. Ya know...... satin black pioneer or sport truck stripes would look killer with its current theme.....
87Warrior Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Looks sharp, as always, but I am not a fan of the new wheels. Ya know...... satin black pioneer or sport truck stripes would look killer with its current theme..... I've got to agree. It would ice the cake!
ComancheKid45 Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Man can I relate to this feedback. Lol....anyway the truck looks great and its another mj that lives on in a new life of glory, the classic look is nice but the current truck is very nice as well. Good job and enjoy the ownership of something so awesome that will never be reproduced again.
HOrnbrod Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 When you posted pics of those wheels I didn't like them at all. Now that I see them on the truck nothing has changed. But the opinion of others means nothing; the only thing that matters is what YOU like. I happen to like lots of chrome, and could care less what everyone else thinks. You did the right thing going your own way and I respect that. :cheers:

Once that got narrowed down, the next category was a selection of wheel that no ones has....IOWs to be set apart, to be different. When I'm done, my truck will be uniquely mine.
Jeep Driver Posted May 27, 2015 Author Posted May 27, 2015 Looking good man. How's that 2.5 working for ya? New engine isn't in yet.....squeezing every mile out of this one.
outlaw star Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Looking good man. How's that 2.5 working for ya?New engine isn't in yet.....squeezing every mile out of this one.Good deal man. Due to a mini stroke a week ago, I got a couple friends coming next weekend to help pull mine out to rebuild. Who ground your camshaft? Mines s Clay Smith RV grind.

Sorry about the stroke, are you going to recover? Yes, already mobile...somewhat. Lol. Was pondering the idea of using a Weber carb or Holley 2bbl manifold instead of TBI. But guess I'll have to see how this setup works first.

cruiser54 Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I really love the look, but I have to admit that when I first saw the photos that your truck was a scale model lol. Me, too!! Maybe RC?
Minuit Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 It really does look like a toy in the "after" pics. We don't usually see full sized vehicles at that angle. Weird.
ggcnash Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I think it looks great before and after, I would proudly drive the wheels off that thing either way
Jeep Driver Posted May 27, 2015 Author Posted May 27, 2015 Maybe I missed it but what size wheels and tires? Wheels are 18x9 and tires are 285/60/18
shelbyluvv Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Mine rubbed with 245/75r16s at full lock and on the fenders under flex. Rubbed like crazy with the 265/75r16s. I had to run 1.5" spacers and trim my fenders and bumper caps.
NHMJXJ Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 The most important thing is that you like it. Drive with pride. It looks great either way!
Jeep Driver Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 Any rubbing anywhere under all conditions? The very end of the flare as it turns around to the front valance. I have the axle out at this very moment, adding the ACOS system. I'll fix it!
