87manche Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 kick @$$ rebuild. As a fellow longbed wheeler, heed my advice. Build protection for the lower quarters of the bed behind the wheels, or cut the sheetmetal up to the body line. Otherwise, you'll end up with body damage, no avoiding it with the horrible departure angle and that much overhang. man, I really wish I hadn't destroyed my bed.

a1awind Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 a German MJ ......MUCH RESPECT! and I thought I had it hard finding parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 MJ´s are very rare here in germany. Most of them you can get here are wrecked. When we need parts from XJ´s we can get them without problems and most of them don´t cost much. When you need especially parts for an MJ it can get to a problem. Another problem here is, every two years you must go to a technical investigation. They control the function of all safety-relevant parts of the cars like wheels, brakes, lights, steering, they look at the rust, window glass and so on. When one of the things are not o.k. then you won´t drive with the car on the street before you have repaired it and show it to them a further times. There are many legal safety-regulations for the cars here when you will drive them on the street. Also you don´t can change wheels or engine or you can lift it. You not even can change the front bumper or the headlights to a better one. For every little thing there is a law. Thats why it´s so difficult here to rig your Jeep when you don´t will have a trailerqueen. Build protection for the lower quarters of the bed behind the wheels, or cut the sheetmetal up to the body line.Otherwise, you'll end up with body damage, no avoiding it with the horrible departure angle and that much overhang. man, I really wish I hadn't destroyed my bed. I don´t want to cut the fender behind the rear wheels, but I must protect them sometime. At the moment I have no idea how I will manage this. I think you buddys here can give me some ideas, I´m sure. Next time I will build a new frontbumper with winch inside. But it has to be so narrowly (I don´t know if this is the right word for that) as can be. Sorry for my bad english.

1bolt Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Hey was the old paint job made to look like marble? Looks kind of funky, and what does the gold colored emblem on the fender say? I've never seen gold Comanche badges... can you post a picture of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 Hey was the old paint job made to look like marble? Looks kind of funky, and what does the gold colored emblem on the fender say? I've never seen gold Comanche badges... can you post a picture of them? Yes it has looked like white marble :rotfl2: It´s a 4x4 badge. I don´t know who has mounted it there. I settled it, made the gold off and mounted it behind the doors. I ´think you don´t really want to have a picture of that badge :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
