89 Long Bed


Recommended Posts

Truck was owned by my grandfather for quite a while. I bought it from my uncle that inherited it. Its a 2wd BA10 long bed. 31" tires clear as long as it's not flexing in the front. The trans shifts great until it's under 50°. I plan to convert it to 97+ xj interior and 4x4 as I gather parts. I'm working on a 3" lift to start. I bought some 99 s10 zr2 4x4 extended cab rear leaf packs that I'm going to build a pack with. I will post a thread on the results when I'm finished.

Looks like a good solid long bed for sure. Good platform for a truck to build up for sure.  

I'm actually looking into a 3" lift with my longbed as well here shortly. Just trying to decide what springs and shocks to go with up front.  My rear is already figured out (I have hella rake going on).

Have you checked the floors for rust yet?  Mine was in about the same condition as yours and then I discovered a small hole in the floor on one side, and the other was not far behind.

Checking the floors is on my to do list. I'm trying to fix the broken and not functioning parts first. I'm close to being finished now. Just got my interior lights working and installed small led panels in them. As soon as my spare hoist is finished I'll pull the carpet up. I'm driving it almost every day and only have so much time to work on it.
