Here it (The Jank) is in a not so good position, I took a bad bounce on a ledge. I really don't have big skills or a big garage, just one bay under my house. Small welder, grinder and a drill press. I just take my time cause nothings hard one inch at a time.

Dude! This is fantastic! Every project you've done has come out great!

Let me know if you find a clean MJ that you won't use for yourself? Hahaha. I'm trying to get my hands on one, but everythings rusted here in MI.

Mj's are hard to find, here's a few I've built. I quit looking for 4wd MJ's and started buying 4cyl 2wd trucks and a rusted 96 xj and then converted them all over using everything out of the xj. Not that hard and the 2wd MJ's are usually in better shape.
