I love your pioneer. I have an 88 as well and I love it.

 

i love it, gotta keep it alive!

 

lookig good

 

Latest pics. New tires and replaced the header panel and grill plus a little fender trimming. .(Sorry wrong thread LOL )

 

I haven't posted in a while so I figured I would put some pictures up and show everyone where I'm at right now. I have been moving for the past month so I haven't had a chance to work on the jeep again til this week but I moved into a house with a garage so I made a big step in the rust battle. Gutted the entire inside and finally dropped the gas tank. My brother is working on his MJ right now and we are both shooting to have our jeeps running again by april to make a Moab trip. And I chopped my rear quarters and I guess I forgot to post that too. So here are some pictures.

Nice! I also have an 88 Pioneer
What is that red button on your center console?

 

I have been busy as hell with life lately and my jeep really hasn't made as much progress as I would like. But I finally got some stuff done this week and have 95% of the floor out. The rear is getting converted to bucket seats while everything is apart and my metal for my roll cage is cut and ready. Just need to notch it now.

Little bit left to cut out.

Its on it way back to life... Xj Roll Cage action. Jealous?











Oh and I bought a bike. That has been taking up a bit of my time lately.

 

I got lazy with my posting. The cage is almost done now. I need to get the floor in before I can finish the rest of it but its getting close now. Couple more weeks (fingers crossed) and I'll be back on the trail.

I place, held up with ratchet straps.

Tied into frame up front.


Frame mount up close


I tied the cage into the b pillar as well for some added strength and to stiffen things up a bit.


Start of the floor. This thing is going to look like a welded quilt when its all said and done.

 

More floor from last night.

 

Nice 88..what size lift did you get, I read where you said you were gonna get a 4.5 but it looks higher, I have a 4.5 and have been wanting to get 33s, looks like you clear em pretty well....so are you at 4.5 or more?

 

TY. Its a RC 4.5 with an extra inch in the rear to compensate for my heavy *** bumper. I cut a lot of my fender out in order to have the clearance that I do. I'm pretty sure that I could stuff some 35's under it if I had stronger axles.



It drives again. Still needs some more floor though.

 

Worked on the floor more today. Ran out of gas for the welder though so I have to wait until monday to get any more work done on that part. I did get some stuff painted though. And I got my new spare on today and threw it on the tire carrier. I'll get some more pictures up tomorrow.

 

Some floor stuff. This is way more tedious then I originally planned. I hate welding overhead.
