How does it feel knowing your brother has the bigger Jeep truck?

Honestly, fine. My truck will get better fuel mileage, is nicer, and is more maneuverable than his. Plus, I have the cooler stripes.

He isn’t sure on gears yet. It’ll probably get 4.10s though.

He also got 3 brand new (from the 70s) 15x10 white wagon wheels for $35.

Yeah, there’s that. I think he wants to do it black with red white and blue Honcho stripes.

Today we pulled the AX-15 out of my parts truck that will go in one of these trucks. We aren’t sure which yet. 

[89 MJ]

Here is the plan for the yellow truck for now:

Black

Honcho stripes

White wagon wheels

AX-15 swap

4.56 gears

 

We are hoping to get it done for the All Breeds Jeep Show in July, but we won't tear into it until it starts to get warmer out. Lots of long nights and weekends are ahead of us!

There definitely is! He just needs to source a slightly less rusty bed and then he should have just about everything he needs to begin working on it.

Right now, he is hoping to get the truck looking like this, but it will have the muscle grille.

We both prefer the Razor grille too, but he has a good condition muscle grille, he can always change it out later if he finds a nice razor. His truck will get 15x10 white wagon wheels

makes sense. my j series will have a razor no matter what. those wagon steelies just look great especially powdercoated white

We wet sanded this today to bring some of the old paint back. It’s hard to tell in pics. We also painted the grille/headlight bezels.

Thank you! It did wonders for it in person! The wet sanding also took of the rust stains, so the truck looks much better now!

[Jesse J]

looks great!
