murdamanche Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 As i embark on my mid 30's iv decided i want to build an MJ, after i sold my few XJ's it was time. I found this baby from a guy who painted it with almost house paint and decided to pop rivet all the holes. 1990 LWB 4.0 189,xxx 4x4 metric ton the original plan was to ... drive it! ...... Then i decide lets toss in a stroker, then back to a stock 4.0 and now i have decided DIESEL swap stay tuned for more.. few pics from the beginning _dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodemonk Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Sweet! What diesel drivetrain are you thinking of using? Also, the front bar splits the headlight assembly in that last picture in an interesting way that looks really cool (and kindof makes me think of a chevy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super confused until zooming in. I'm also wondering about the front bumper end cap being silver under the blue. Was this truck or bumpers silver at one point?

Fubbu Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I'm also very excited to see how this build goes and would also be interested with some of the details as I am currently putting parts together to do the same swap using the same conversion kit. I'm attempting to sketch up a flat deck option or a mini service body but really looking forward to updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
