barimpact Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Here's the lift installed, it certainly rides better than it did with the stock shocks blown out! (Only took it around the block before dropping the tank). For comparison, here's the Rusty's 3" lift with Heavy Duty front springs (designed for winch bumper support without sagging) vs the XJ with Rough Country 3" lift. Both trimmed about the same spot in the front. MJ on 37x12.5, XJ on 32x10.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barimpact Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Well here's what's left of the gas tank. No wonder it was spilling everywhere! Much bigger holes than I expected to see. New tank should be in the mail today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barimpact Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Got the new fuel tank in and she's back on the road! But with all the parks shut down, and some spare time, I decided to build a hitch mount bench seat. I grabbed a spare XJ rear seat and some angle iron and welded it to a 2" hitch. Got about 300-330 pounds on it and it held up. Very impractical but now I've got one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think about that, great idea! For version 2.0, I would make it a little further from the truck so that the recline was a little more comfortable.

barimpact Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 I got myself a bed cap today for FREE off marketplace. I never intended to get one, but I know how hard they are to find around here, and who can argue with free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barimpact Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 I got myself a parts truck today! (Before feeling bad for it, it has a salvage title, no keys, 2wd 4 cyl). It will be posted in parts for sale soon. But holy cow, it really makes my truck look HUGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barimpact Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 I got some new gauges from Azzy Design Works installed today (and a shift boot clip). The post office lost my order and the president of ADW emailed me personally to make it right. He sent me a new set free of charge, and included some cool badges. Top notch customer service!
