Mattman6 Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 Haven't posted in a while. I'm still going at it. Haven't worked on the MJ in a while other than just driving it about once a week. Still running good. I finally decided to tackle the passenger bedside. Cut out the rot, painted with POR-15, and welded in a piece of metal from Lowe's. My welds look pretty bad as I didn't realize my Gas for my welder was out. I just thought I didn't know what I was doing. Lesson learned! Anyways here are some pics. I ran out of sand paper today for DA sander, so I plan to knock the fiberglass bondo down this week and prime it. I also plan to get my passenger rocker cut out this week.

Mattman6 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Knocked out the bondo work today and primed it. Bedside is closer to being paintable. Also took some under coating to my fender wells. Next step is cutting out the rocker on this side and weld in the 2x6. After that it's downhill in getting prepped to paint.

Mattman6 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Spent more time working on the body today. Filled in a dent that's been there forever. Also decided to re weld my brackets that hold my fender flares on. Couldn't get some of the studs to line up, so along the top I just used a bolt, nut, and washer to snug it to the body. Worked out pretty good if I do say so myself! Also got the passenger side rocker cut out. Got my buddy coming over again to weld it in tomorrow. After welding it in, I plan to raptor line from the body line down and also the fender flares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattman6 Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Decided to install the tailgate I picked up from the junk yard. Bottom left corner needs some attention, but other than that it is rust free and even has the stock latch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman6 Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Took some time today and bed lined th bottom half of the MJ. My plan was too put two costs of Rust Oleum bed liner and top coat with the one thing of raptor liner I had left over from my bed. Well after mixing up the raptor liner and attempting to spray it wouldn't spray. I cleaned the gun several times and tried everything. Long story short, I wasted a whole bottle of raptor liner and ended up going to advance auto to get a can of Duplicolor. It actually worked really well and allowed me too finish the project today.

TuckerTJ Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Good job on the rockers, the black really ties it all together, gives it a clean look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman6 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Good job on the rockers, the black really ties it all together, gives it a clean look. I have to agree. Just ready to get the color on. Now that the big body work is done, I can get some primer on it. Ordered a new drivers side fender last night. Once that gets here and installed I'll be ready to spray primer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman6 Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Finally got around to getting the MJ painted this weekend. I went with Truck Bed liner for entire body. I chose the color Anvil and used Raptor liner. These pictures aren't the best, but I plan to take some better ones once I get the truck back together.

Mattman6 Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 What lights are those you are running I got them off amazon. Let see if I can find you a link to them. https://www.amazon.com/XtremeVision-Sealed-Power-Headlight-2150LM/dp/B01MXYRADP/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1488830340&sr=8-5&keywords=7x9+led+headlights They are very bright and were plug and play installation.

Mattman6 Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Another pic from the front in the day light. Real happy with how it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman6 Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Now that the exterior is pretty much done, I started ripping out the carpet and interior trim on the passenger side today. I still would like to be able to drive the truck, so I'm planning on doing this side first. The rust wasn't too awful, however when I tried to loosen the bottom seat belt attachment it decided to come out. Not only will have to patch some holes, I'll have to figure out how to address the seatbelt. Any and all ideas are welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman6 Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Thinking about welding a nut into the 2x6 and attaching the seat belt to it. Any opinions out there?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman6 Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Got the Logan metal works front bumper installed today. Came with mounting brackets and all the hardware. Was less than $400 to my door! Fitment was great, wasn't hard to install other than having too drop my alternator. It attaches at four points instead of the stock 2. I still have to trim my fenders and flares. Also will most likely remove the stock tow hooks as well, but haven't decided on that just yet.

Mattman6 Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Trimmed up the fender flares and lower part of the fender today. Also cut the factory tow hooks off and also took the air dam off. It looks a lot better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
