MancheKid86 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 nice progress so far, doing very detailed work just a question tho, while the engine was out, it got new/cleaned accessories, sensors, seals, how come you didnt rebuild the inside? other than that keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrz Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 nice progress so far, doing very detailed workjust a question tho,while the engine was out, it got new/cleaned accessories, sensors, seals,how come you didnt rebuild the inside?other than that keep up the good work Hey I checked everything out and to the best of my knowledge everything looked pretty good. I am still new to the internals of engines and trannys so this has been a pretty good learning experience for me Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrz Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Not much progress have been made, instead of taking a few steps foward i ended up rolling back. Jeep would not move and was making for serous noise from the bell housing area. After a few hours i figured it was time to pull the trans and take it to a tranny shop. Well that was not the case, as soon as i took it out i relized i never installed the 4 flywheel to converter bolts :wall: . Now I'm fightening to get her lined up and back in Stay tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrz Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Well its been almost a month since an update, not much has been accomplished since. Did end up getting the trans back in with the famous torque bolts finally She now moves under her own power, but like usual ive hit some bumps in the road lol Installed some new filler neck hoses, and cleaned up the filler neck as well Huge stepping stone for me lol Also bought some yellow lights off ebay, nice quality for the money Sadly I'm having some major front end issues, my ruggid ridge steering is hitting my diff cover, and inside of my rims when turning. Brake peddal is super soft with no pressure, and my power steering pump went. And lastly my upholstry guy has my seats that need to be recovered and is currently mia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrz Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Great news just drove the Comanche 2 miles to the exhaust shop with no issues, hopefully I'll have it back tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrz Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Well still exhaustless due to the shop wanting $300 for just 2.5 piping from the crossmember back.... And got an estimate from the body shop today and they want $3000 for body and paint, 2200 for just the body work, or $500 to fix the rockers........ Looks like I'm going to just get the rockers done and maybe sand and primer myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
