Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Keep your motor from your jeep if you do buy another vehicle from Jordan :kissyou:
(just kidding. That was some shitty luck.)
it MIGHT be completely gutted and have new subflooring, all its walls, and a heating system. It will definitely still need a new porch or two, all new windows, and a bunch of other crap.
Here's hoping, but I don't know if it'll happen within a year.
The damn drivers door broke off completely at the top hinge last time I took it out. Could I fix it? Totally. But I also have a rusty windshield frame, rusty and badly cracked cab back, absolutely no rockers remaining, doors are junk, bed is junk, frame rails are cracked and rusted through in half a dozen places, floors are absolutely gone, etc etc. There's very little remaining of this chassis that is worth keeping except as sentimental value, and even if I fix it how I was planning on it, it'll involve replacing so many panels that I'll have quite literally some VIN tags and a firewall/A pillars remaining of the original chassis. At that point, why bother? I was going to, but...
In probably a week or so I'll have decided one way or another. Need to do some more thinking and junkyard hunting. I also don't know what I mean by "build it right", I still have a kingpin 60 and an e350 60 sitting in the yard and dreams of building a giant on tons, but I also have an absolute blast driving around like a retard on 33s, and my current axles seem to be damn near bulletproof on them now that I manned up and actually put alloys in the front instead of exploding stock shafts every trip and being a trail tampon.

It sounds to me like you could grab a new chassis and build it right, but not wanting to do that is pretty understandable. I am reaching a real decision point on the MJ as well, it's getting bad enough that I KNOW I can't get another sticker on it without an absolute ton of work... or a new chassis... at which point I may just grab a new chassis, build it right, and whip the shit out of the current MJ on local trails until it folds in half.
