87 MJ Chief Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 Had to fold outer lip and concave inners with the wider rear end. Only rubs when- 2 adults, dip in road and over 90mph. Don't ask me how I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87 MJ Chief Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 It was Bring-Your-MJ-To-Work day, today. Well, G's MJ actually. My Altima is currently in surgery at home for a power steering pump replacement, so I had to make a deal with G to have a ride today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too close! lol It's got an early B body axle, so i had to fold the wheel well lip and create 1/4" of clearance at the top of the inner fender well for full clearance.

87 MJ Chief Posted December 16, 2022 Author Share Posted December 16, 2022 That's good to know. G's big brother has hinted at making a Go-Fastee Comanche. 2-wheel drive LS swap, and knowing this, use my other 3.91 Sure Grip. hmmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early b body axles are slightly narrower than the Factory MJ axles. later B,E,and C body Axles are wider and would be slightly better in an MJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87 MJ Chief Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 It was a good Christmas, @jdog. Due to family sickness, we were able to spend Christmas Eve at home for the first time in years. G got supplies to perform @cruiser54's priority #22- vacuum harness replacement, replacement speakers for the doors and corners, and several parts for his Gladiator. I hope your Christmas went well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87 MJ Chief Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share Posted December 14, 2023 Geez, I haven't updated the build since last December? We have been plugging along with the restoration as time allows. Keep in mind, we're also building his '70 Gladiator from the ground up simultaneously. A lot of what we have been doing consists of removing a part / cleaning / painting and reinstalling. We drove around some and just enjoyed it. We are most likely going to be putting more time into it over the winter. G is having a hard time choosing which truck to put our time and his money in. He knows that 'preservation' now eliminates 'restoration' later. I'll bring y'all up to speed with pictures soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
