If my blue truck didn’t have the blue interior, it would’ve been green. On 2/7/2021 at 3:56 AM, jdog said: any lift? Expand Right now it has a 3” AAL. I will either leave that or maybe go up to 4.5”.

Expand On 2/7/2021 at 4:59 PM, jdog said: As am I Expand Me three! I will probably get the BadDadFab hidden winch and use the OEM bumper I have with the little bumperettes on them. Chrome header panel trim with a 10 slit grill, green and pewter paint with pewter flares, and maybe a 4.6 stroker. I just want to have a stroker, that is the only reason for the last part.

jdog Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I do have a issue with it being green, every time I hear it's going to be green all I can think of is the song big green tractor, but I change it to lil green pickup. You better come up with a good name for it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 Well, the blue truck is sticking with me (I'm kinda glad to be honest) so this truck won't be getting a full restoration, but I will still make it run and drive. Its been getting warmer, so hopefully I will be able to get to work on it again in a month or so. I also put the topper on this truck for now so it is out of the way.

89 MJ Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 Well, today I filled the bed with most of my extra MJ parts because I had to get a tiller out of the front of the trailer. Other than that, nothing new to report. I’m hoping I will have time to work on it more when school is out, but I need to finish the blue truck first.

89 MJ Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 Well, as much as I don’t want to, it is time for me to sell this truck. I have the option to buy my first car (1986 AMC Eagle) back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
