the canvas top for the back will prolly get ripped up by trees and such as well, if it didnt come on the vehicle from the factory and its not metal, your better off leaving it off for wheeling, just my OP

 

How did i miss this thread? Congrats, looks like a nice rig.

I dig those cloth cargo shelters. Google can-back.

 

^its a long bed. the cap is gonna be out, maybe on for an occasional trip then coming off right away.

so its running great, since i had time to burn at work, while the head was at the machine shop getting a valve job, i cleaned up the engine bay, removed some emissions, painted the head and the valve cover, painted the exhaust manifold w/ header paint black , and cleaned the intake and painted the part numbers and stuff red like the valve cover. the pics don't due justice. the engine looks way too nice for the truck right now

the o2 sensor fell apart so i plugged it temporarily, not a good idea, they won't stay running without it, new sensor in and it runs like a top.

new water pump, motor mounts, fixed exhaust manifold, valve job/head gasket, t stat, 02 sensor, and tuned up. total cost to me $528

 

verrrry sexy mate

 

thanks man, we're still talking about the jeep right?

 

I cannot confirm nor deny that.


haha j/k of course the jeep dude.

 

darn.........

 

as borat would say: "Very nice!"

 

thanks to pat and wade i got some progress. swapped in the gauge cluster in place of the idiot cluster (no gauges drove me nuts), front shocks for the lift, d shaft, bezel and radio so there's not a big ugly hole in my dash, tool box for the bed, no more cap. did i forget anything?

gonna have bucket seats comin soon.

 

nice mj! like wut u've done

 

I had a can- back cap on my Dodge ram and it took alot of abuse. I even leaned it on a tree and all that happened was a 1" scuff mark. No tears. Highway travle was a bit noisy, but not any louder than my YJ. Anyway, nice MJ

 

Nice build so far man. I like that valve cover? Is that alum or is it just painted silver?
