Crispy a 89 Long bed (now with 2 extra rear tires)


Recommended Posts

Got a new windshield in finally. Just have to put the trim on. Needs an alignment then I can finally start driving it to work. Might end up putting buckets in it since I have an extra set of brackets and a few extra sets of seats

Swapped out the starter because the old one had gotten really slow and I already had a new one on the shelf. Did a full tuneup as well with new plugs, msd wires and a cap and rotor. I’ve been driving it to work and it’s been doing well. Even put it to work cleaning out the yard

Finally got the wipers working. Turned out to be a simple fix. The wiper delay module looked to have been submerged and very rusty inside. Changed that and the circuit breaker and now they work. Installed a trailer hitch too and haven’t done much else to this truck other than drive it

Probably easier to do this as a list of the parts I used since it’s not really a kit other than the fenders. 
 

Rear axle: sterling cab and chassis 10.5 from a 1995 ford f-350 7.3 dually 

 

Front axle: Dana 30 hp from a 1996 Jeep Cherokee. 
 

Front suspension: rough country 4.5” springs shocks and lower control arms. IRO adjustable track bar and rough country extended brake lines

 

Rear suspension: stock mj springs and shocks with Barnes 4wd perches welded to the 10.5 spring over. 
 

Dually fenders: came out of Florida from a truck that was getting parted out. Unsure if they are JC Whitney or something else but they are for sure mj specific. Someone did fill in the fuel door so I used boat parts to add one back in. 
 

Front Bumper: arb from a 97-01 xj with a 12k badlands winch installed in it

 

Wheels and tires: front wheels are from a newer jk with adapters. Rear wheels are just stock steelies with new but cheap mud tires. 
 

Brakes: 95-96 xj booster and master plumbed to mostly original lines with the rear prop valve deleted. I used a 91-96 xj brake pedal so I didn’t have to try to grind on the rod from the booster. 
 

that’s most of the details and I added all the pics I took so far. Eventual plans involve removing the worn out 4.0 and replacing it with a 5.3 lm7 and 4wd ax15
