I should have said that I haven't lost a lite since I put them on. They do work.

Ah....very good. No, after following people and loosing several lites to rocks I found these at Dick Cepek (when he had stores) I think.

I got a PM from a member about why the RC track bar did'nt work for me. I sent him some information but forgot to mention that the RC tie rod end was to big for the frame side bracket. I did a some research and the OEM track bar part # changed in 1991. I think they changed it to be the same as the XJ.Hope this helps. Mike

Here is my one owner 1988 CHIEF. Bucket seats, PS,PB, AC, fog lites, cargo lite, Dana 30 and 44, 5 speed manual, 4WD, 231, under hood lite, tow hooks, tilt steering wheel and CRUISE CONTROL, console, leather wrapped steering wheel, plus some stuff I'm sure I forgot. Mike

I'm installing the RC long arm kit know. I've got everything done except cutting off the brackets and installing the long arms. Because I wanted to keep the cab supports I notched the RC side brackets to fit and redrilled the rear hole. The Comanche has extra crossmember bolts on the inside of the frame so I welded some strap on top of the crossmember at the right height and used the front and rear holes for two more mounting points. Now have 7 bolts holding crossmember on each side. If you have the BA 10/5 you will have to make it fit. I started doing this and finally gave up and upgraded to a AX15. The RC trak bar didn't work for me so I got an Iron Rock double shear one. And I couldn't stand the gray paint so I painted it black.

here's some pics. Just trying to get a shifter that will not hit the console. The top one is what I have. The other 3 are from YJ's/Wranglers. These are from ebay. Will the YJ's work in a TJ AX15? Most of them also say that they will work in AX5's. Maybe the same?

I believe that I have a TJ shifter. The shift lever is also alot taller than my BA10/5. I'll get some pictures.

I used to be a member here but its been awhile and my username/password dosent work anymore or I'm using the wrong one so I had to start over and create a new account. Anyway I have a 1988 MJ that I bought new. I finally got around to replacing the BA10/5 with an AX15. Got everything working except the trans shifter. Actually it works but I cannot install the console, Gears 2,4,R hit the back of the console. The shifter I have has the curve towards the rear (where it comes out of the mounting bracket). I have seen some curve towards the front and some that come straight up. Do some Wranglers come straight up? Are AX5 and AX15 shift assy the same? Have read some where the shift lever assy needs a different shift fork in the trans form XJ to TJ? The trans is from a 97 TJ. Thanks Mike
