89 MJ Posted October 29, 2019 Author Posted October 29, 2019 Put new front shocks in yesterday. Got my freshly rebuilt AX-15 picked up and I should be putting that and my new crank in soon.
89 MJ Posted January 2, 2020 Author Posted January 2, 2020 Oh my gosh, I haven't updated this since October! Not much has happened. It is currently in storage. Hopefully I'll be able to track down the miss in the next few weeks.
89 MJ Posted February 18, 2020 Author Posted February 18, 2020 Just got a tonneau cover for it yesterday. Pics and install to come soon.
Pete M Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 nice! I love a good cover. really cleans up the truck's lines (and hides your stuff!) I guess you don't really need that man door all winter?

Pete M Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 the more I look at it, the more it looks like it's just a door leaning against the wall.

89 MJ Posted March 8, 2020 Author Posted March 8, 2020 Pardon the atrocious photo, but she came out of hibernation last night!
89 MJ Posted March 11, 2020 Author Posted March 11, 2020 Because today was early release at school and lunch was before 11:00, my younger brother and I went to a local restaurant owned by a family friend. She had her JK Rubicon on the snowbank, so I had to climb it higher with my MJ. Oh, and I installed my tonneau cover. I’m happy with the fit and finish considering it was $150 on Amazon. It was more impressive when I did it. Pictures don’t do it justice.
JMO413 Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 What brand is the cover? Got a part number? Maybe a couple more pictures.

89 MJ Posted March 16, 2020 Author Posted March 16, 2020 Today I tore apart my Cherokee 3(or 5)in lift springs to make a bastard pack to lift the rear end of the truck a little.
89 MJ Posted March 31, 2020 Author Posted March 31, 2020 Here is the write up for my rear lift bastard pack/Add-a-Leaf.

89 MJ Posted May 1, 2020 Author Posted May 1, 2020 Fixed the turn signals for the 3rd time. This time it was a loose connector.
89 MJ Posted May 16, 2020 Author Posted May 16, 2020 I picked up an XJ that will be my engine donor! 125k on it. It’s a 96.
89 MJ Posted June 14, 2020 Author Posted June 14, 2020 Swapped the corner lights for nicer ones off of my donor and moved the front bumper back so it doesn’t look like it has an underbite.
89 MJ Posted June 15, 2020 Author Posted June 15, 2020 Including purchasing the truck and two parts Cherokees I have about $6,000 in parts. On top of the $6,000 I have: $500 in tires $200 in axles and lift $100 in sandpaper, buffing compound, black plastic restorer, etc. $250 in paint (donated by a local business) $200 in wheels (I got for free, it cost $200 at the local junkyard for aluminum wheels) $10,500 for my labor (let’s say it is $15 an hour, which is cheap for a restoration shop, but I’m no pro)(I have about at minimum 100 7 hour days) $8,500 for my dad’s labor (rounded down)(he has at least 35 7 hour days at $35 an hour, as that is what he charges at his restoration shop) $1,000 for sandblasting that a professional shop did. A grand total of $27,250.
89 MJ Posted July 16, 2020 Author Posted July 16, 2020 Just ordered some silver Sportruck graphics for this big pig! I’m excited!
