I will see if there's any room to adjust though, I appreciate the keen eye. would not be a fun trail repair lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbscomanche Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 More little things today. The headliner is pretty much the first thing I wanted to take care of when I bought the truck but other things took precedent. Pulled it out earlier this week, cleaned up the top of the cab and laid down the dynamat today. also started on the rear of the cab. I'll be adding reflectix while I wait for the samples for the new headliner but will be going with some sort of grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbscomanche Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 All done with dynamat and reflectix for now, very pleased with the results. I left the truck parked in the sun yesterday to see if I could notice a difference and it sure felt a lot cooler. Just waiting on headliner samples so I can finish the board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to need to clean up all the hoses once I have the rest in. Not sure how I feel about the evap to air box line going right over the valve cover.

Pancho975 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Wow man. That's a lot of work, and fast! I've had mine 11 years now and just recently started to fix it up! Keep up the good work, and thanks for the suggestions. Those Krustybuilt sliders are legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbscomanche Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Got my sound system set up and 3m ceramic tint. Focal K2 speakers and 10'' Cerwin Vega with built in amp. Also had new speaker wires ran throughout and the doors dynamatted with my leftover material. It sounds unreal now, doesn't even remotely compare to the way it was before!

crumbscomanche Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 A local MJ owner (thanks hector if you are on here!) hooked me up with a sick MJ hood with the Mach 1 mustang hood scoop, inspired by the JCR manche. I believe it's an original hood scoop with the original turn signal lenses. A little work needs to be done above/below to clean it up but it's functional and I love the look. My old hood had some damage around the corners from an accident the PO had. Still debating the bedliner stripe... I also will be redoing my posi-lok system this weekend as it broke last trip out. I called posilok/sporttruck and they warrantied it and are sending me a new cable, which is awesome. I figured I'd replace my t-case linkage while I'm at it, so I got the Azzy's kit. The quality is top notch and the MJ decal is sweet. Too bad nobody will ever see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbscomanche Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 @Egm89 it's a pretty generic kit. They send you several sizes of uncut hoses and you cut to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
