Here is the day I got it home, after spending a reasonable 400$ for it. 1988 Jeep MJ 2WD.
Rust free and unmolested, aside from the crappy white paint job put onto it by the PO. I have been doing a bunch of project prior to getting the MJ so if you see something interesting just let me know and I'll try to post some more pics.
Here is the donor XJ. Going to be taking the engine, trans, transfer case, and wire harness out of it. The body has giant rust holes in it, pretty much a danger to be on the road. You can actually see one rust hole on the passenger rear door there.
I'm skipping over the tear down since most of you have seen it before. I put the body up on a frame stand to work on it and threw some wheels on it to help since i have a tiny garage.
Rolled it outside for some sun while I cleaned out the unholy mess made after cleaning all the old undercoating off.
I think this thing was buried in some deep mud at one point since there was huge amounts of mud caked up all over the under side.
Some of the goodies that will be going in soon.
Ford front HP Dana 44 (narrowed to waggy width), Chromo shafts, yukon zip locker, 4.88s, reed knuckles, 1 ton steering, ruff stuff diff cover. Rear waggy Dana 44 with yukon zip locker, 4.88s, ruff stuff diff cover. I'll be putting a truss on both of them as well.
Some 1.25" heims for the three link going in and then 7/8" heims for the pan hard bar, and TREs
RE 5.5" coils. For the rear ill do a SOA conversion to gain the same lift.
14" bilstein 7100s, 275/78 valving for the front and 255/70 for the rear since its a pickup truck.
A buddy gave me these 06 JK seats since he put Mastercrafts in his.
Swiped this York compressor to run a belt driven OBA setup rather than having AC (I never run my AC anyway). And some 703 Injectors, first time I've used them so hopefully I like what they do.
