I have a sportbar now, so I don’t need the topper, it will be going up for sale. I bought it because it was cheap and has some parts my brother might want for his J10s.

89 MJ Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 Version 2 of this truck should be coming in the spring! Stay tuned! As of now, here are the plans for version 2: Upgraded lighting (H4 housings and bulbs, headlight relay harness, lights on the sportbar and bumper) Sportbar Bucket seats OEM front bumper (possibly) OEM front flares (if OEM front bumper happens) OEM Front skidplate OEM Air dam (if OEM front bumper happens) OEM tow hooks (if OEM front bumper happens) Full cluster swap And God knows what else I decide to add then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to do some research I suppose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says the guy who wouldn’t get an AX-15 when it was cheap to swap into his AUTO truck On a side note, I don’t think my Sportbar is true and straight. The fit just seems...off. But it was also -5 today, so I wasn’t going to look at it a ton while it’s in cold storage. Once it gets up in the 20s or 30s, I will start looking at it some more.

89 MJ Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 It's been getting warmer up here in WI. Today's high is 27 and Tuesday is supposed to be 43 (then it goes back down to the higher 30s) . Hopefully I will get the MJ out of storage and start driving it and work on it some more. Maybe I will test fit the front skid plate tomorrow and maybe even drill the holes for the sportbar so I can get both of those powder coated soon.

I just tossed some hardware we had laying around in the front temporarily. I’m excited to be installing this—it should be pretty neat and maybe I’ll get it on some trails (once I build some sliders).
