Checking out all the dually axles at the LKQ in advance, so I will be ready to get in and out during the next 50% off sale. Saw a nice D70HD dually, but would prefer a Dana 60 for greater aftermarket support. I found this interesting dually set up on a ford I believe - might have considered it if I was not set on custom 1 ton axle. These turned the regular axle wheel into a dual wheel axle. Not sure how safe they are :dunno: it is a lot of pressure on what is essentially extended lug nuts -> Picture of the adapters - I will be getting one of these-> I almost wish I could do something like this -> I need to be practical, so I am looking seriously at these in 16" -> TBC

Sorry CC - I never saw this post. Thank you :cheers: . One of the seals took a dump. It was spinning around making a racket. I am waiting for the warrantied replacement to come in. I put a Comanche Club sticker on the jeep today - yeah, about time. I lost the original and had to order a few new ones from Pete. Looks good ->

Added the single most important mod to the III ->

Are they 8 on 6.5 bolt pattern? I will look into them :cheers: .

I have been very busy working on the other 86, but I made some time today to order the 5 lug to 8 lug adapters for the front axle. I decided that I will be using a real dually rear end for out in back (Dana60??). I will need to find an axle and then see if any modifications will need to be made to make it fit. I should get the adapters at the end of Jan. I am looking into getting the MOTO METAL Series 953 rims - that could change ;) TBC - Rich

Purrdy :clapping: You should have named it Taintstick . . .

:cheers: Glad to see Beaterjeep on the cover - very nice. Pm sent

Congratulations :cheers:

How do I get the YouTube video into my post :fs1: :headpop: :wall: !??! The Greatest American Hero song - e9Q3orQhEcA

I got to drive this 1986 CJ7 about 4 months ago ->

Exactly what I was thinking - I think I like it a lot.

Welcome to the CC :cheers: . What color is the interior?

:clapping: :yes: I love that truck - it's blue and long like I like them. That did not come out well . . .

It is, but it needs work. Thanks for the offer :cheers: I am sure we are right around the corner from you :wrench: .

Yeah - it looks just like heat shrink tubing. I know the jeep ran - I guess it would not restrict anything being pushed through that area. I will be looking at other 96 XJ's while I am at the junk yard in the next few weeks - I will let you all know. :cheers:

I pulled the 4.0 of my parts XJ and I noticed this piece connecting two of the hard fuel line parts together -> Is this normal or is this some type of repair job? Thanks, Rich

Pulled the CarryAll out of the way with the Blue MJ -> so I can pull the project MJ into the shop -> Set the MJ up in the corner and brought the parts XJ in too -> Started to remove the engine and transmission from the XJ -> I just about had it out -> and I noticed this ???? -> It looks like a piece of plastic connecting the lines together???? Is this normal?? And now that the engine is free I can see a few holes will have to be made for the wiring harness and the auto cable -> It should be interesting from here on. TBC - Rich

Now THAT is awesome. Details? That sure is awesome - my inspiration for my own dually conversion here - viewtopic.php?f=7&t=30377 has a few other dually Comanche pictures.

Not yet - I have been working mostly on the off road project.

My 6 year old nephew and I headed over to the shop to work on the jeep. We got the dash and some of the trim pieces in-> We have the carpet laid out and the new bucket seat brackets we got from 89er ( :cheers: ) lined up too. Took a shot of the back of the next club project ~ 1942 Dodge CarryAll WC53 ->

I only talked with btm24, 89er, & Suuperman - all on CC. Never saw the other owners and I did not drive the MJ (where I keep the cards), so no Comanche Club cards were given out. Maybe btm24 placed a few cards on the vehicles? :brows:

Anyone know who makes this front bumper? -> And my personal favorite ->

:agree: I will try to get something in tonight

:thumbsup: hang in there Chaos

:cheers: Brandon. Had close to 700 jeeps there. Brandon an I counted 7 MJ's participating in the show. Saw Suuperman's Gold LWB MJ - nice. He did well on the off-road courses. This was the best Jeeptoberfest I have been to. Hats off to the Ocala Jeep Club for putting together an awesome event
