jpnjake Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 Just remembered I never posted the hidden train horn install, I did my Ho cooling system swap at the same time, and used the bracket for the bottle to mount my compressor and air tank The actual horn is mounted in the front crossmember, and I wired it into the interior. It runs off of a 3 position XJ rear washer switch, the top position locks in and charges the tank, and the momentary switch opens the valve and lets the horn go.

charmcityrambler Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 that side mount toolbox looks good there - do you have to drill holes in the truck to mount it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not, it mounts to the lip with little threaded hooks that hold onto the bed rail, and I have a peice of angle iron that rests on the bed, and if your running it without a bedliner you need a 4th support by the wheel well. I’ll post some pictures of it later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t take up a ton of room, I can fit almost any garden tractor in the bed still, even my one with 33 boggers on it.

eaglescout526 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 If you want to make your MJ really stand out, find the small Jeep letters found on the waggys and put it off set on the drivers side of your header panel like the 84-85 headers.

That’s really interesting Like these? I had never heard or seen that before, it’s certainly interesting but personally I prefer it in the middle, it just looks like something is missing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpnjake Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 A couple weeks ago I went and met @frankspeed420 and purchased an MJ Visor from him, His craftsmanship is phenomenal on them and If you’ve been considering getting one I’d definitely recommend it, it is very solid and at a very fair price.
