pingpong Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I keep trying to find ppl to be my winch b!tch, but since they have seen video of what I put them thru no one wants to ride with me anymore :mad: Picture taking is over rated anyways, unless it is a flop, or some major kind of carnage :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pingpong Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Major destinations are excluded form this list. Paragon, Tellico, Harlan, Moab, Johnson Valley. You at least have to take a before carnage pic there ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yj2mj Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 I'll get out to Moab one of these days, but I won't be in the Comanche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is for sale! WHAT?! Is it in the classifieds? No, it isn't listed in the classifieds. I was just stating that everything has a price that it can be bought for. If you are serious, make me an offer. All I can say is no. Right now the truck is in the shop having the oil leak fixed, it was so bad you could watch it running out. I didn't have the time or patience to fix it, so I'm having it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnQ Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Looks good. I also ordered the 97+ front clip for my MJ. Is your ARB bull bar for a 84-96 or the one for 97-01 cherokees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yj2mj Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 Mine is from a 97-01 and it bolted right up. I take that back, one or two of the bolts on each side wouldn't line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minydigger Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Is the new front clip a bolt on deal or ? I want to swap one over on mine also. Did you use 97 up hood and fenders or just the front facia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fenders are different, but the hoods are the same. You will need a new headlight header and headlight doors. I found the parts pretty cheap on ebay.

The fenders are different, but the hoods are the same. You will need a new headlight header and headlight doors. I found the parts pretty cheap on ebay. I replaced the fenders, header panel, grille, headlight buckets, turn signals, and side markers. Hoods are the same. You can use the stock fenders, but they don't have the same contour as the header panel. I bought all of my parts aftermarket, brand new parts really cheap. You will also have to do some work to the wiring harness for the headlights, turn signals, and side markers. I got a complete frt harness from the junkyard, spliced the new plugs onto my factory harness. The only thing I would change, I would get a factory header panel from a junkyard. The aftermarket one I used didn't fit very well with the hood. I couldn't find one at the local yard that wasn't damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feerocknok Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Since since some newer members haven't seen your gorgeous truck, and I had questions, I thought I'd bring this back up. What did you do with that funky "X" crossmember to bob the bed? Where's the exhaust? Did you sell this yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 what does BOB the bed mean... i have seen this in a bunch of threads and even some before and after shots... i CANNOT figure it out? i thought BOBing it was similar to dovenose-ing? wth sorry for my ignor-a-moose -nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yj2mj Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 Since since some newer members haven't seen your gorgeous truck, and I had questions, I thought I'd bring this back up. What did you do with that funky "X" crossmember to bob the bed? Where's the exhaust? Did you sell this yet? Sorry, I haven't checked in on this in awhile. I cut off the back "legs" of the X, then tied box tubing back into it from my new corners. If I would have planned the cuts alittle better, I could have just butted my new crossmember up to the factory pieces, but it turned out strong, just would've been cleaner. The exhaust is in the factory location, but redone with a straight, flat tailpipe. No, I haven't sold it yet. I've just been driving it, but I have three trucks, so it doesn't get driven much. My dog prefers the comforts of the other two. :D I still need to finish fabbing my drivers side rocker guard and finish the interior panels. I'll entertain reasonable offers if you know someone interested. The only thing I would change on the truck is I probably would have only put 33s on it. They don't rub, but with 192,000 on it, the 4.0 would have been happier, even with the 4.56s. All in all, the truck turned out better than I thought it would. It'll run down the interstate at 75 mph and you can let go of the steering wheel. Wheel it, and at the end of the day, drive it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see it better in the pics on the first page. The whole point was to shorten the rear overhang to increase departure angle. And it looks cool.
