SuperWade2 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 WOW, How much MJ is actually left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onebigmj Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Why did you start with such a nice truck for a buggy project when you really only used part of the floor, part of the frame, the dash firewall and drivetrain? Its a sweet rockcrawler it just seems like a waste of a good truck considering what you actually saved from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 This site makes me cry sometimes. Used to be such a good lookin truck too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Ron Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 It may have looked like "Such a good lookin truck...", but it was far from "good", or even worth the "waste" of time and effort to return to service. Lots of hidden damage from a rear ender, and front ender. It was dirt cheap for a reason. The upside is that nothing serviceable went to waste. Doors, bed, tailgate, rear window, axles, wheels, etc... all went to other local MJ's. The other 4 trucks are stock, in service, and free of silly accessories such as "air dams", step rails, and the like. :D --ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyc Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Hey, I know you! :) Have you seen my new MJ Ron? I'm NOT cutting it up like you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BREEZE1 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Dang you could have saved your self a lot of sawzaw blades if you would have started out building a buggy. But its just one of those things I guess, cut here bob there then nothings the same. looks good though. :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 hah! the pic of just the bottom part of the tub with the dash and stering wheel made me giggle. AWESOME! Loved the picture story and the build. You do very nice work. And drink well too it seems. keep the pics a coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Ron Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Thanks guys, it's a progression. I was all for going straight "there". I had a guy that needed a cab top for a restore even though mine was twisted by an inch or so. My son convinced me to do the truck thing first time around. Unfortunately, I rolled it on Wrecking Ball before we finished the tube work, so the cab top was a waste. The back got used to fix a local rollover job. The thing gets used alot, that makes for intermediate steps along the way. Hey, I know you! :) Have you seen my new MJ Ron? I'm NOT cutting it up like you. I have, nice score. We just started in on the long bed that we've been using as a shop truck for the last few years. The debate we're having is what direction to go. I'm winning with the stock config / 31's look. The other 3 are semi in use, I think I'll be looking for a 4 banger to do a street truck with soon. --ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pingpong Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Your rig gave Matt and Myself lots of inspiration when we where building Pong :brows: I wish I too would have skipped to the last step from the begining. Don't let these fanatics give you a hard time about cutting up a MJ, some of them are as fanatical as CJ owners :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
