tailgate tuesday

I think I may have won the day for most MJ tailgates with you on the road at one time.  :comanche:

 

the black 'gate is NOS and was the entire reason for the trip to TX. :D  but an empty trailer is a wasted trailer so of course I had to swing by all the junkyards I could find in a day and a half.  I went to a junkyard across the street from one of the various u-pulls and asked about any XJs or MJs and then the guy said all they have was a bed. (!)  I ended up saving that bed from becoming a junkyard scrap bin (only a couple axles in it at the time).  in other yards I snagged another pair of 2dr XJ doors, a nice Laredo door panel, some mirrors, various tow hooks, and a bed light amongst other little things.  I may need to hit up that last yard again and snag the longbed bed I saw and maybe that black bench.

 

and no, the nos isn't touching the concrete, there's cardboard under it.  :L:   the next time you see it it'll be hangin' on my wall. :D   I may need to track down a chrome NOS handle now...  :brows:

oh, I don't have a welder. :(  I only refurbed a trailer that was given to me by a friend.  :L:  (and technically he didn't build it and he didn't get it from the original builder.  lord knows how many people have owned the poor thing)
