Hey Beamer.

Got the junkyard list for you:

• MJ Rear Bumper Brackets
• 97+ front fenders
• Passenger Side marker lenses
• Hood stay that is on the passenger side of hood
• Ford Explorer 8.8
• Maybe a front bumper
• 97+ manual window crank

Here are the pics as it sits

Spent the last couple of nights swapping power steering pump and box. Going to add a cooler tomorrow. We have the carpet out and the interior drying and we'll clean up the tiny bit of rust on the floor and paint it.

We have a 4x4 AX15 and are in the process of locating a 23 spline 231 and picking up a front D30 this weekend.

Here it sits:

I have a hood stay for you man, It won't go back on my rig, there's a tube in the way of where it bolts on now lol. I can throw it at Avery some time.

 

[crazyjim]

Good to see you got her home. I suppose I wasn't ready for the influx of "WHAT THE HELL" text messages this morning. I'll be interested to see how she looks all one color


To those of you who are upset, don't fret, the XJ WILL get done, eventually. I just didn't have the time to dedicate to the XJ and the MJ both. Work has been keeping me insanely busy.

Beamer , whats the lift height on the mj?

i think it is a 5" lift front and rear.
