Black Sem interior paint

Some small progress this weekend, finally got a new set of setbelts to replace mine which locked up ( assuming it was from dying them ). Also repained my trim and painted my seats for now. Still no complaints with the sem, really holds up great before and after a few coats And installed some leds, Night and day difference. I can actually see inside the jeep when i open the door now More on the todo list to come, My thermostat started to drip so that will be first for this week

thanks for all the comments guys, really means alot. Wouldnt have been able to make her without the help of the forum. more to come soon, just need some time to do a few goodies to her . :MJ 1: .

man its been awhile since a last update. Good news is ive been DD her for the last 2 days and everything is going good. With a few minor hickups. will post some more pictures later this weekend and finally cured my DW . :MJ 1: .

Going to see if I can mount a go pro under there or rig my camera up to record it, hopefully the weathers nice tomorrow

I had death wobble when I was running my 265 75 16s on Moab rims, sold them and when I out the 225 75 15s it rode good with no dw, now when I go up to a bigger tire I cannot go over 30 with it the dw. I had no adapters with the 16s and ran adapters with the 15s and the 18s I currently have now. Rims and tires are off of a 13 jk

What were the readings on their printout? How about the LCA L & R shim balance? Going to have to see if I can find the bill tomorrow, if not ill see if I can get it faxed over

Hate to bring this thread back, but i am still not driving the comanche due to the death wobble. I sold my dd and am driving my second car, I am at the point now, that if i can't get this thing on the road i am going to take a huge beating on it and buy a new jeep. Brought to a front end place, and they got everything aligned perfect, No bump steer, rubbing, or any creeks. The only complaint they had was my column has some minor play in it. Sold my rims and tires thinking they were defects, and tossed on a 225 75 15 for now. Drove good with no shaking and got up to 65 with no worries, but still felt something in the steering. Got a new take off set of 255 70 18s from work and now i cannot go over 30 with out the dw. i am now stumped, and have no idea what it could, spent 4 hrs checking everybolt and retorqueing everything took a video to see if my axle shafts were possibly bent, and everything looks good here's a video, hopefully someone will see somthing. Id hate to mask the issue with 2 stabalizers, id like to do it once and right will get some angles tomorrow to see if everything is really in spec thanks in advance :cheers:

I saw similar ones in my block that had 51k on it, mine was towards the back of the head. Put a recon head on it and runs great as it should Hope that helps some

Thanks for all the input, sadly I haven't had the time to work on it due to the weather this past weekend, hopefully we get some sunny days and ill post up some more results Thanks :)

to be honest i have to check the shims, i don't recall if i have 1 or 2 on each side. arms are fixed, but I'm debating on buying all adjustable, I'm at around 4.5-5 inches of lift, will get more accurate readying and angles tomorrow ( too dark out now to try and get accurate ones )

ok just checked all the tires and have them all set at 30 psi, I check the angles on the comanche for about a block ( incase the road was off some ) and got the same results each time. I also used a socket this time as well. I'm going to have to check the shims tomorrow and start playing with them. thanks for the help ill post more results tomorrow. My goal caster should be 7.5 correct

hey the road looks level and does not have slope in it. I put the caster nut on it so the angle finder sits flat when getting the angle.

ok just pulled the manche out onto the freshly paved block and took a few pictures, the drivers side looks pretty good, but the passenger side is still way off drivers side pass side

ok well i finally got my angle finder in the mail today and took some pictures of all the angles driver side from the top of the ball joint passenger side ball joint driver side lower arm pass side lower arm upper control pass side upper control drivers side From the diff cover let me know if anymore needs anymore pictures, but looks like I'm at a 15 degree angle right?

Makes two of us. X3 I've only head of different %'s

Agree again. Did you get an angle finder to check caster L & R? Still waiting for it to come in the mail, guess I can't do much till then lol

:agree: Yes it does with the straight-on pics. Think it would help to lower the angles? By dropping both the trackbar and linkage?

Not too much to update on, Just been redoing and adjusting a few things while i figure out my front end. I did finally install my front drive shaft, adjusted my tb so it idles at 500, cut my doors so why speakers sit flush. Other then that waiting on the weather to warm up some more updates to come soon

Ok sounds good, going to see if I can get a clear picture now if not I will tomorrow

Just went outside and got some part numbers off the arm, it's a stock cherokee arm part number 8952000615T. So a drop trackbar bracket and a 2" drop pitman arm should get them pretty close to parallel. Or I could just get a zj one with should drop it between 3/4-1" I know I'm over thinking this and sorry if I keep asking the same question just in a different way. Still doing a lot of reading up so I can understand everything,
