I was kinda digging the front bumper mounting hardware too :D
and trying to figure out where I could stash this for a while............ need single wide on 2 acres it seems

Ramon any Idea if the frame was compromised?
 
Yeah, front DS frame horn is bent in - not a good sign for what other damage is present, but not sure. IMO, it needs to be parted out. Engine and tranny were perfect - regular Mobil1 oil changes and the oil always looked really clean. Tranny and txfr never any issues. Front locker always engaged perfectly, but rear actuator gave me all kinds of issues, even after rebuilding twice (PO put a new actuator on when we bought it, but it leaked and got URE red muck in it). Still has the OME springs and shocks. Carpet is super clean. Has landtank extenders on the D.S. About all I can think of right now. I'd buy it if I was ambitious.
 
I would love to get that CDL switch. Is anyone buying this? 21 hours left.
 
Up to 2k now. I don't feel as bad.

Farewell old friend.

:beer: R

Jason are you in need of a frame??? you can have the one in the garage if you want it... just a 12 pack of good beer and its yours... other than that i'll cut it up and junk it.

Hey now, I resemble that remark :hillbilly:
 
And then swap a new body onto that frame :meh:

and then swap a new rear axle under that frame :hillbilly:

And then swap a new trans under that body :rolleyes:

And then swap a new t-case behind that trans :lol:

And then swap a new engine in front of that trans and t-case :flipoff2:


:p

I'm actually interested in knowing.... what on the truck was there when it came of the boat in long beach from Japan??

front axle housing??

i think the bolt that holds seat belt in place is the only thinkg stock on moonshine.
 
II'm actually genuinely interested and not trying to poke fun at all. it may be the most "modified" cruiser i've ever seen on mud in that so few parts on it are original from the date of manufacturer.

I think that is pretty cool.
 
no, in seat belts... seat bolts are optional.

The hood, front fenders ( inner and outer ), radiator core support, dashboard, steering column, windshield wipers, motor longblock and title. Literally everything else is different. Soon, it'll just be the body components.


That's why I call Moonshine my FJMashup :hillbilly:
