Swap the beds on my MJ's

[EUREKA]

I want to swap the bed from one of my MJ's to the other.

88 metric ton long bed > 91 long bed.

(The 91 is also getting the springs and rear axles from the 88.)

 

Are there any threads that address removing an MJ bed? I just want to get an idea of what I'm up against.

 

Thanks

A good first step for any comanche related questions you have is to go to Google and type in "site:comancheclub.com *what you want to find*"  (without the "" and ** btw). This limits the search results to comancheclub.com. Great way to find threads directly related to your question. Sometimes the OPs even come back and put in the answers!!

Thanks. I've never seen a search feature on forum that actually worked before.

Should be plug n pray. I think 6 , plus the tank straps. And the fuel filler.
I wantnto some day make a bracket to not have to bolt the tank to the bed.

Looks like I ave everything ready for the bed to come off. I found a video by "Bleepin Jeep" on youtube that was helpful.

 

Lifting one side, it doesn't feel very heavy at all. Could two larger guys remove a long bed?

Yes

Thanks for confirming that. I'm excited to get the bed off and move the project forward!

there are a dozen things it can snag on as you lift and carry, so go slow.

Got the bed removed today. It was easy. Thanks for the help!

Made a dolly to store/move the bed while it's off the truck. All I had to buy was the castors. Works great. The bed sits up on one side and is strapped to the dolly with ratcheting straps.
