89 MJ Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 March 2022- @JWheeler331's 1988 Pioneer Build Thread- Year/Model - 1988 Pioneer Drivetrain- 4.0, 5 speed manual transmission, Dana 44 rear, Dana 30 front Cooling- Stock Electrical/Ignition- Stock Suspension/Steering- Stock for now. Waiting on 6" lift from RRO. Fingers crossed it all comes in a timely fashion Interior- I am redoing the interior right now. It came with the gray interior. The previous owner put Corbeau bucket seats in it but also gave me the original seat which I had reupholstered in all gray marine vinyl. I POR15'd the floor and put in Noico Sound Deadener throughout the cab. Instead of the carpet I am going back with a gray vinyl flooring. Brakes- Replaced the front brakes with OEM style pads, rotars, calipers etc. Replaced the master cylinder. Other than that it is stock for now. Lighting- Amazon headlights. I have KeyParts brake light lenses that will be going on and new old stock blinkers and running lights. Stock fog lights are not connected as of now. Exterior- Stock Colorado red paint with the Pioneer striping. Wheel & Tires- I believe the wheels came off of a Cherokee or some other Jeep. Not sure. They have 31x10.50x15 tires on them. I would like to find a set of turbine wheels. Misc- I am planning on doing a 6" lift from Rocky Road Outfitters. I have heard the horror stories from others but hoping they have their stuff together now. My hopes are to run 33x10.50x15 tires with little to no cutting. Fingers crossed. Best MJ story- I don't really have any good MJ stories since I have only had the truck for about 2 months. CC is Awesome! Why? The people here are very friendly and knowledgeable. The site has been such a big help in figuring out different things as I work through this (my first) build. Congratulations JWheeler331! I have to say, I'm a sucker for these original paint Colorado Red trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to squeeze in my job, family stuff and working on this all in day light hours. Maybe I'll get some lights....... or build a shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
