JnJ's 86

JnJ · 05-19-2007, 12:55 AM

Well, here is the story on my (our) truck. My parents bought this truck brand new in 86. I was 8 years old and my brother was 4. We took some great family vacations in this truck. We even did some light wheeling in it. Both my brother and I learned how to drive a manual trans. with it, too! My parents kept it until my brother turned 16 at which point they gave it to him. For two years he used it as his daily driver and weekend off road toy. He was about ready to do some awesome mods to it when he was killed in a plane crash. My husband and I took it and planned to do the work my brother had always wanted to do. Fast forward 6 years and here we are. Here's the list of what we've done so far:

33X10.5 A/T tires
Downey bumper and skid plate
Downey T-bars and 3" suspension lift
4X Innovations tube doors

On order/yet to be installed:
Downey exhaust system
Downey (Trail Gear) sliders
Downey Bikini kit

Next on the list:
Front and Rear lockers (not sure...either Aussies or Lockrights)
4.88 gears
Rear bumper

Here are some pictures of it.

I love this truck...I will never get rid of it!

P.S I'll see if I can get some pictures to post from when we first got it back in 86.

Put the tube doors on the other day! Fairly easy task once you get the hang of man-handling the door while installing the pins (I got the quick release hinges). Here are some pics.
