89 MJ Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 As many of you may know, I recently bought a parts truck. Most of the parts that were spoken for were already pulled (my brother is keeping the trans for his J10 projects). So, what do you do when you have a driveway you can jump and a cheap beater that is going to get scrapped? You jump it! The front leaf spring mounts became detached, so we ratchet strapped them good enough to stay together. You can see in a video that I ran down to the MJ when my dad was driving it. That was because it was on fire, the injector o rings leak. Here are some pics, the videos will be posted shortly. My second jump, not as good as the first. Frame “repairs” More frame “repairs” Post jumping frame damage More post jumping frame damage My first, and best jump. It really just looks like crappy photoshop, but it isn’t. A slightly zoomed picture of my best jump. The let of the frame damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Lol there ya go, I'd be a little weary doing it with a unibody though, long term it'll get bent up. I bought my 98 Suzuki Sidekick for $200, put $100 in it to fix it, and regularly drive it like you did this truck, wide open and airborne! Best $300 I ever spent!
