Welp, I own two now. 88 base 2wd 4cyl with a 4speed.

1988 Jeep Comanche 2.5 I4/ 4spd / D35 / SWB Build date: -will add- Current Location: East coast, South Jersey Status: DD Notes- Currently has a older maaco black respray, faint shadow of an old asphalt companies info from when they owned it, tailgate has been made flat and has no lever (they used it for advertising) Burgundy vinyl interior with a bench seat and floor shifter. (previous previous owner painted it yellow inside, previous owner painted it black) Current Owner: Me!

Initially I thought I would be using the AA adapter plate and use my peugot trans mount, but this got my x member between the already made holes in the frame; So then I order a trans mount for a XJ with an AX15. And then I realize i need one for a wrangler with an AX15. So i buy that (thank you some random guy who had lots of info in his swap thread) and drilled out my x-member to accept the wrangler mount, and am now able to use the stock peugot x-member mounting holes. Torqued the bellhousing bolts, installed the CPK, and put the new slave on as well. I took the caveman approach here and drilled/cut a hole over that stud so I could put the trans up high enough to get the x-member under it. Dunno where my dad keeps the hole saws and all the stores were closed (9pm-3am garage sesh yo) so I still need to make the socket access holes in the x-member.

Currently own one but I've still got my eye on a second one. Its difficult to look at my bank account and think, turn this into a second MJ or save this for those strange "important" things people talk about from time to time.

I did thing today. Not sure why I didn't put the cpk and slave cyl on today but those and the crossmember/t-case are the next things to bolt up.

Either Yeungling or Budweiser; I've had my papers to do my hunting test since I was 13 but never actually got around to it. King of procrastination right here.

Man. I've been having my butt kicked by the pilot bushings. AA one was WAY too big, then I destroyed the first novak one, today I got the 3rd one seated and installed the new flywheel and clutch assy, its getting closer and closer to done! Now really all I need to get the trans in is to get nutserts for the crossmember. spent about 2 hours that could of been actual work on thinking up this goofy thing. two honda civic brake rotors, a 242 input gear, and 2 random nuts welded together to make an ashtray for in the shop.

Advance Adapters kit. wound up ordering a 95 XJ master/slave combo from rockauto rather than work the yj slave into the mix. Put the t-case back together, nearly had a heart attack when i saw the old input gear sitting next to it and thought I forgot a part. Now my current snag is do I want to go heavier on the flywheel, go stock replacement, or see if i can clean up the rust transfer on it (see pressureplate/clutch pics above).

Took the clutch/pressure plate assembly out today. Looks good right? lol

Heyo look what came in the mail! Monday the kit from AA comes and then I should be able to get down to business, assuming nothing is missing/ i didn't forget to order anything (other than the clutch/pressure plate i still need to get) They put them in 4x4s as well, sadly. The input gear in a t-case for a 10/5 is like a 23 spline and for an ax15 you need 28 or something. Don't know exact #s offhand.

can't recall it ever not casting enough light in the bed the few times I've used it.

The french have finally surrendered! And my Ax15 is ordered from novak, now I just need to save up a little base fund before dropping the money on the swap kit from advanceadapters.

Installed the short throw shifter T-case shots I guess my peugot was leaking.. this is all that came out when I drained it. (I had drained/refilled it maybe 2-3k miles before it went kaputz.

Tore into my 231 at school last night, I was amazed at how easy it all comes apart. I'll edit this post later with pictures, not that you guys haven't already seen the inside of a t-case a million times before.

A little late making a thread but here it is. 1987 Chief 4.0 with the dreaded peugot transmission. the day I got it wasn't long before i started having cooling issues, broke a chunk of head off trying to change the t-stat in a parking lot Discovered a open bottle of gear oil was the culprit to an awful smell so i pulled the carpet/interior panels out.. ..and discovered this leading me to buy this and install it and nabbed a monte carlo bucket seat from a friends project car at the time puegot started acting up so i made my own drain plug tool, later finding my friends dad actually has the dealership service tool in his box at his house 85 on a backroad when suddenly a loud bang.. byebye windshield trim hit a bump wheeling and knocked my ghetto rigged exhaust off found out that in order for my clock to work for a full week (with memory, too) I just had to let my truck be outside during hurricane sandy rigged this up so my shift boot wouldn't pop off of the console when i went into 5th gear ear piercing squeal on the way to work and a nice burnt belt smell, siezed idler my axle leak got to the point of it draining out in a day instead of a month, so I re-sealed it Picked up a nates bumper with my tax return; may be stripping it and redoing it in bedliner this spring Fed up with cooling issues I looked into the closed>open swap and did that. a chrome bumper popped up on CL so I picked that up 3/11/14 I installed the bumper caps and a license plate bracket i got from a JY, removed my T-case, and installed a new vent window As of right now I'm taking out the t-case and BA-10/5 and have a ax-15 swap kit on the way from advanced adapters.

I don't know if you can buy that piece but I don't think its needed anyway, I scrapped it when I did my floorpan. Haven't split the truck in half.. yet. You mean the little angled piece that the ebrake cable runs through, right?

oh man that'd be an awesome birthday cake or something.

Guess I oughta do this to mine too, changed my MAP sensor hoping to get rid of my intermittent 2000rpm idle/2000rpm jump on startup and it didn't go away.

Mine had a custom fitted western plow on it but I told the guy to keep it so he knocked $500 off the price

currently sitting at 202,000

I think I may of posted in this thread already, but here I go (again?) Been with my dad in construction since i was 14 (19 now). But I'm looking to get into something automotive related, mechanic or something.

Any tips on removing the gas tank skidplate? One that doesn't involve sparks, all but 2 bolts are spinning in the frame and I've got a leak about 3/4 up

Hit a bump and knocked my exhaust off while wheeling for the first time in a long time. Was my first time snow wheeling.
