Insted of dream manche, I should have used purple haze manche 4sale :razz: Few years back when I was looking at it, it had 33" tires and a turbo/supercharger on it. At the time, the Guy wanted around 7 grand for it :eek:

Somebody buy this and sell me the topper! It's the one I have been looking for. :cry: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1986-Jee ... dZViewItem

This has a PDF of all the info on the AX15, including an exploded view. Hope it helps, Rich http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavist ... n_AX15.pdf

they look like american racing torque thrust D's. . . maybe II's, but; I think D's. Both are Very popular with the muscle car crowd. :thumbsup: Thank you! They are muscle car tough looking-Rich

Very nice! That looks brand new. Can you tell me who makes the rims on your YJ? I like them :cheers:

:bowdown: Sweet! I love the color, very nice looking MJ.

I am iterested in what size tire and tread width are you talking about? 31x10.5 or taller/wider? Thanks, Rich

Look at it this way, you get to keep the cat :brows:

I do not have it yet. I will do a write up on it after I get it and have it installed ;) I will follow your advice Pingpong and wait until the lift is on before I order the shocks. Looks like you all agree on hydro-type shocks :cheers:

I need to figure out what type of shock to get for my RE 5.5 MJ lift. I have only had the Rancho shocks on my other jeeps. Anything better for the MJ? Should I try something different like the Bilstein or? What is everyone else using? I will be on the road 80% of the time. TIA, Rich

The arms are coming with the kit, so I may as well ugrade on the chance that a may go a tad higher then the 5.5. The guy at RE suggested that I go with the adj ca's. I was questioning why they were not already a part of the kit if it was a good idea to upgrade :roll: I just wanted to be sure that I wasn't being up-sold for no good reason ;) Thanks for your reply Eagle

Yeah, 100 bucks more. Thanks guys :cheers:

Here is what I am now planning to do and I would like your input. It appears that I will not be able to find an AX15 in the very near future. My BA10 is running strong but I will want to upgrade when I can. I was planning on the TNT Y-link but they are only set up for one or the other trans, sucks. So, I think I am going with the RE 5.5 kit and then maybe sell the DB & CA's and upgrade later. QUESTION*** Should I upgrade the Control Arms to the adjustable types? The kit comes with the drop brackets and I am not sure if I need one or both adjustable CA's, if any? Money is not the issue, so I will buy both if it improves the kit. Is anyone else running this set-up and how do you like it? Thanks, Rich

That thing is awesome :eek: He even painted the window guards camo!

:cheers: I am going to get some swine on my pizza and celebrate :banana:

I have a set of 37x14.50r15 on 12'' rims. They are coming right off the Scrambler once the MJ is painted :nuts: JK Here is a picture of the tires on my jeep. I can take a close up shot of just the tire if needed-Rich

I found this today :D A guy in Florida is selling a Comanche for his buddy. The link for those looking 2 buy - Rich http://www.floridajeepers.net/viewtopic ... b3253a272d

:eek: Wow, that is some chunk of sheet metal. That should fix the problem ;)

Flippin PO's, can't they tell that the carpet is wet? What did you end up doing to fix it. Thanks for sharing :cheers:

I am glad to know it is not just me. The replies are encouraging, thanks. The paint shop called and said they removed the decals and extra stickers from the truck. I will take pictures when I get back there. - Rich

My floor :eek: I have the replacement pieces ready to go in, that I cut out of the donor MJ, and they more than cover the damage. I don't know if you can tell from the picture but the inside of the frame has zero rust. The carpet is what caused the floor's sheet metal to rust. Why didn't the PO get the leak fixed :headpop: I can't understand. I drove the jeep 2 hours to get to the paint shop from where I had it parked. The heat from the motor and trans was intense and the Florida heat did not help anything. I packed every piece of carpet I had left over the hole. The bugs were driven out and into my lap also, lol. The passenger side has only a little surface rust wich is great. The jeep runs and drives fantastic. The transmission shift perfectly which almost made me consider keeping the pukegoat. So my project has started, the before shot

Sweeet :bowdown: Your gonna lift it to 6''? It already looks like it is lifted?! See if the 35'' will fit as is. Lucky bastid, lol-Rich

Was your wife looking over your shoulder when you typed that Catatonic? Lol, :cheers: Very nice and I agree 100%-Rich

I have to disagree with you on this one pingpong ;) If some chick caused me to wrecked my MJ, she would owe me a lot more than a party date :brows: -Rich

I don't have any input on the front spring conversion, but I take it from your name and sig that you have a Scrambler also? Check out http://www.cj-8.com/forum/ for another group of great people but with CJ8s - Rich
