I mean it's not like theres a lot of parts. I think we will be ok. the plan is finish the interior and turn signals and just take a break on it. That's a good plan. Maybe drive it around stock for a while with your permit and just get comfortable with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only thing I need to buy (or rather build) before then is a set of rock sliders. This truck will see trails....someday....maybe.

I think the oem one will look real good I think it would too, my only concern is the front flares. Of all of my extra flares, none of them are the factory "base model" black type flares. I will need to source new front flares from my local JY to make it match and make the front look OEM like @neohic did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 More stuff! I emptied the bed and installed the KSuspension headlight relay harness along with some Hello e-code housings and H4 bulbs. They are BRIGHT!! where I have the relays mounted, the hood prop rod rests on top of them and still clears the hood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there wasn’t enough room to get a good pic, there were about 3 feet between the front of the truck and the back of my dad’s YJ. I also grabbed this pic when unloading the truck.

89 MJ Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Dang WI! We are supposed to get snow for a couple more hours (it’s been light to this point and is supposed to stay light). The plow truck just went by dropping a bunch of salt, straight salt. I was hoping to get my MJ about soon, but I guess now it’s sitting for a week at least or until we get a rain.

89 MJ Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 Yesterday I drilled holes and mounted the sportbar. It took some massaging to get it to fit right. This morning I have it a bath and took it for a spin to the stop sign down by our house (1 mile). The 4.0 and AX-15 felt great! My little brother and I were in the truck, my parents were at home. When I had turned around to go home, I stood in the gas. It had no problem breaking those 31x10.50s loose. My dad heard it from a mile away. This was the first time I had gotten the truck on the road and up to speed since the engine swap. The turn signals didn’t work though, we traced it to bad terminals in the fuse block. I think this is going to be the fourth of fifth time we’ve fixed these. After it rains the first half of this week and I get the new fuse block terminals in, I’ll finally be daily driving it again.

89 MJ Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 The fuse block got rebuilt, and the salt has been washed off of the road. I took it for a little spin in the dark. Gotta say, the Hella housings and bulbs wou the headlight relay harness made the lights almost as bright as OEM JKU LEDs. If you haven’t looked into these yet, it’s an absolute must.
