Can you fit a J2000 frame into a...

...recycling bin :(
Not sure, let's see.

Preface:
You might remember this feller :thumbsup:

I sold the cab and title to one of our members from CA quite a bit back, Flint and Krista got the fenders delivered to them at Ouray last July, I let my students chop up the hood (actually several of them) this spring, the Rhino is on my Wag.

Here's what was left as of yesterday morning.

Pretty quick to kill a bed with a plasma cutter (most of it got tossed out by the curb for the tweakers).

I also have a safety consultant on hand, just to keep me in line, I call her Natasha (yard cat) :D

Hmm, that was sort of fun, wonder what we can do with this...

Hmm, gonna have to get me a new consultant :eek:
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s80/tadsal/TechPics/DeadJ2K/09.jpg

Oh well.
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s80/tadsal/TechPics/DeadJ2K/10.jpg

Opps, yes, it will hit if you turn to far to the right.
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s80/tadsal/TechPics/DeadJ2K/11.jpg

So we send it over to sleep at the grill...
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s80/tadsal/TechPics/DeadJ2K/12.jpg

...and tire farm.
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s80/tadsal/TechPics/DeadJ2K/13.jpg

But yes, it fits.

For those that actually do think I am a heathen for killing a J2000, I did save some of the more important stuff if anyone needs it.

The front bed corners:

The rear posts:

The fender areas (not great shape):

The front crossmember in case someone really wants to upgrade to that piece from an older version:

This thing, I think I have another also:

I....

I have no words.

[tgreese]

If I put those steel pieces out at the curb, with or without a recycling bin, the steel gremlins would take them long before the trash truck would.

[fulsizjeep]

Cut ...and Go! Nice progress Tad :thumbsup:

[mattmopar440]

Number the pieces and sell it on Ebay as a Build by #'s FSJ :D

[KaiserMan]

Dang, sorry to see it get cut up. That was a pretty cool looking rig.

Making room for a new project?

Have several new projects (D60 for the wag, to be later installed in the buggy, Pass drop HPD44) but that one got killed by front frame rot, found it about 3 years back, gave up then.
Hoping to have one of the original (1st year, '85 I think) 30something MJ's coming here also, not sure I have room for that.
We shall see.
For now, it's just best I clean the yard and move forward.

[Geeeep]

I guess it all depends on the area. Where I am, that's almost NOS :o

Shame to see one go like that, but thanks for the education. My trash people wouldn't haul that away but if the addicts or the junk-men/trash pickers saw that steel, they wouldn't get a chance ;)

[Sian09]

Dang! You can become the new FSJ recycler!!!

...and tire farm.

Hey, I have one of those...:D
If you still have the filler neck next weekend, I might be interested.;)
Hey, can I borrow your plasma...:eek:

[suzq044]

aww.. I was gonna call dibs on the fuel filler :(

[DerekTJeep]

Darn, if you were closer, I would use one of those 5 slot wheels.

[CJ the noisemaker]

I would want those late 80s GW tires if they were going.

[Tad]

If you still have the filler neck next weekend, I might be interested. Sure, I can put it aside and bring it up for the Prescott run.

aww.. I was gonna call dibs on the fuel filler :( I think I have another one that Gwamp sent me years ago when I was going to install dual tanks on that rig.

Darn, if you were closer, I would use one of those 5 slot wheels. There's a matched set of 4 there, they will get sold along with the 8 lug slots, don't have much use for street rims anymore for my junk.

I would want those late 80s GW tires if they were going. Sorry, those are for my Nissan when I get around to installing that 3" lift (another project I keep ignoring).

AWESOME...

Now to just find the time to convert the waggy to a 208 and find time to go scoutin...:rolleyes:

[Gambler68]

seriously interested in those 8 lug slots, need a set of 16" ones for my 35" KM2s

I dig the dual shock spring ubolt thingies!!!

[Josh D]

I guess this answers my question of what you are doing with the J-truck project!!:eek:

[Tad]

I guess this answers my question of what you are doing with the J-truck project!!:eek: LOL,
Yea the GGM stuff came down on that rig a few years back.
Didn't have many options once I found the front frame rot.
Oh well, life goes on, somehow...

Hey man, like that pic is way too big man.



Looks like a VERY fun item to have access to.:thumbsup:

[Songman]

Is that those military Hummer wheels the guy is selling on Pirate? Looks like a great deal but I don't want anything bigger than 35s. His deal is on 37s.

Your thinking of: http://www.trailworthyfab.com/ I'm pretty sure.
Not from them, but the same thing and they have some great prices.
You can run 33's on those rims, they just should be a 33 x 12.5 in a 16.5 rim size.
I just thought I could save some $$ by figuring out the recentering process myself.

[fulsizjeep]

slick tool!
