More questions

So, as more work goes into this jeep I'm back for more info.  I'd like to change out the sunshades, the stock ones keep hitting the rearview mirror when I move them around, any ideas on good swaps for those?  Also looking for what you guys think is the best way to re-seal a camper shell, the one it came with leaks around a couple of the edges that contact the edge of the bed.  The rear bumper needs replacing before to long as well as its rusted through near the plate holder.  Any decent fabricated rear bumpers? or even a good place (outside junk yard since mine has not comanches) that I could get a replacement stock one?  Lastly, Good coil springs and shocks for a truck that will be used on light off road conditions and pavement.

I'm almost positive I've seen 2 sizes of sunvisor in XJ/MJ.  Perhaps you just need the shorter ones.  I've got some gray ones out of a 97 XJ that shouldn't contact your mirror, PM me if interested.  

 

As for the bumper, if you are looking for a real nice steel bumper, check out Krusty in the classifieds (vendors) section.  Otherwise the go to factory style replacement is made by FEY and can be had for around $100.  It's just a universal truck bumper that comes with brackets to fit the MJ.  Just make sure you get the MJ one if you go this route.  

 

Coils and shocks you are gonna hear a lot of opinions on what's best.  For me it comes down to how much I want to spend.  Anything will be better than the worn out 20+ year old ones on the truck.  I typically stick to the cheaper side, since that's what I can afford, and have used both Rough Country and Rusty's.  The Rusty's definitely rides a little better than the RC ones but either will get the job done on the cheap.  There are definitely better options out there, just look around and really base it on what you can afford or want to spend.

I've got a free rear bumper still.  See classifieds.  Not sure where you're at.  But free is a pretty good deal if you can trek to S. Indiana.

I used this stuff from Amazon. I used to use the cheap stuff from Home Depot but it never lasts. So far this lasted 2 years.

Oh man.  LOL Where at in southern Indiana?  I just moved out of Indiana last April.  I live in Utah now.  I'm from the lovely town of Martinsville, little north from IU town Bloomington.

I'll be trying this one, thanks.  I'm looking to get the bed sealed up nicely so that my wife and I can take it camping.  I spent pretty much my entire childhood just sleeping on the ground in a sleeping bag.  Did SAR work for 10 years.  It'd be nice to have a camper once in awhile.  Since we will be traveling to the parks out west a lot this year.

Agree - that Super Cap Seal looks like good stuff. If I ever take my topper off again, that's what I'll be using.
