fiatslug87 Posted July 7 Author Share Posted July 7 What do you do with an extra NOS chrome MJ bumper (thanks G)? Put it on the MJ trailer of course!!! Also added a step bumper receiver in case I ever want to haul a basket. I made a couple of brackets out of 1/4" steel plate and attached them to the brackets on the trailer and the bumper. Outside view: Inside view: The trailer brackets are 42" apart while the bumper attachment points are 45" apart, so I used 1 1/4" zinc plated perforated square tube spacers on each side making up the 3" disparity (two 1 1/4" spacers and two 1/4" brackets = 3"), there's actually another spacer behind the one in the picture below for the lower rear bolt (it’s poking out in the above pic). It was fun doing this in 105°+ weather the last three days. Now back to the third brake light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goose_XJ88 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I wanted to pick this thing up but I couldnt justify the trip myself. You have truly done it justice and made it that much better than it originally was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 Thanks, but all my work is mostly simple add-ons, the real bones were all neohic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted July 30 Author Share Posted July 30 Got the third brake light installed, found a single light with split left/right signals. Here it is in action: lights on, left, right, hazard brake on, left, right, hazard just left, right, hazard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought it would be a good solution. Glad you found one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted September 28 Author Share Posted September 28 Finally got out camping this year, only took until fall. Went to New Melones lake again since it was quiet, peaceful and devoid of humans last year. It didn’t disappoint, even fewer people, lots of wildlife, mountain lion warnings (didn’t see any) and GREAT weather, around 90°. We even spotted a space capsule.

89 MJ Posted Saturday at 01:18 AM Share Posted Saturday at 01:18 AM Sounds like you need to get out and use it more. Then you’ll find more to do I’m sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully next year, had some family medical issues this year that made it difficult to be gone for too long. But if anyone has any project ideas, I’m all ears.

89 MJ Posted Saturday at 02:56 AM Share Posted Saturday at 02:56 AM A shower might be a neat idea. For the dogs if nothing else. Here’s the first one on Amazon I found after googling. https://www.amazon.com/Pressurized-Shower-Off-Road-Vehicles-Pick-Up/dp/B0D48R181Q/ref=asc_df_B0D48R181Q/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=706076424878&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2452993607359357323&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030237&hvtargid=pla-2339007315071&psc=1&mcid=076601603cd03547b0959c7618f52384 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
