Magik's 1987 Jimmy - Jiminy

[magik235]

I did not like the way the fenders looked with a straight cut so today I got out the scalpels and rounded the corners.

It was finally warm enough that I could prep and prime all the edges of the fender cuts so they don't rust.

looks like wheeling in the snow keeps the truck pretty clean!

When I got Jiminy there were many oil leaks that I fixed. Oil was everywhere underneath. I cleaned the mess but blasting through the deep snow really helped with the cleaning.

I cleaned up some wiring in the cab then cut the carpet to fit against the back panel. I cleaned and waxed the front end for the first time since I owned Jiminy.

Looking good, but this cracks me up.

What size rims are you running? I like the stance of the truck, it looks great. This build is awesome.

I am running 15 X 10 rims with 15 X 12.50 X 35 tires.

[magik235]

The tires are 35X12.50X15 Dunlop Mud Rovers.

I like em man, how much were they? The tread pattern is alot like my maxxis buckshots but with the wider stance.

You've come a long way with this .

 

[magik235]

The tires were about $190 each last fall.

Well next summer im hopin to do a 2.5" lift and 33x12.5s so ill keep these in mind. Im sure 33's are cheaper yet, and $190 isnt too bad for 35's really

Jiminy has been earning its keep as a work truck this summer primarily hauling building supplies like those today pictured below.

I can't help but feel like I've seen this some place before.....
Nice lookin' truck

 

[magik235]

It has been within a 150 mile radius of Merrill, WI. I have been using it as my daily driver lately because it is fun to drive and people like to comment on it when I stop somewhere. Where are you in Wisconsin?

 

[85 Burb]

Im actually in New Berlin about half an hour west of Milwaukee. I've been following your other Jiminy build thread on WI4x4 before I found this one.

Jiminy was working in the woods today.

Picking up wood piles.

Unloading at the house.
