I parked the MJ about 5 years ago and kinda forgot about it (getting married, having kinds, buying a house, getting more "sensible" daily drivers) but I'm back now...the ole girl needs a lot of work.

So what is your front suspension set up? And do the 33x10.50s rub at all. Thinking about doing a similar set up on mine. 1" shackles and m/t springs in the rear still?

You don't mess around lol.

Ditched the old sealed beam headlights and got new h4 style lenses with LED bulbs.

Don, I'm at hurby. And yes it does. I didnt have my jeeps at yokota lol. Not to mention all the other nonsense and politics involved with being over there

I havent had the 86 in probably 3 years. If i remember correctly its roughly the same size as the yj radiator. Ill have to look and see if i still have the radiator.

Well due to an unexpected blown head gasket on my daily, the trans swap got put on a rush. External slave, Ax15 is installed, shifts like butter but it leaks like a sieve. I'm hoping i just overfilled it but someone i don't think I'm that lucky given my track record as of late. Still have alot to do but she is back on the road...for now

I should have some for you. Ill have to check my inventory.

I have a 3/4 cluster out of an 88 cherokee. 91 and newer were the HO refering to the engine and ignition system which also had electronic speedos. Early modles have cable driven speedos. But regardless i have on if you are interested

Getting my donor stripped down. time tor start getting the pieces cleaned up and ready to put in the comanche. External slaved ax15, 231 t-case to be degunked and painted, dana 30 to get 3.55 gears and an eaton e locker, 8.25 rear to get perches moved to go in the comanche, 3.55s, posi trac, and zj discs. time to get started again. feels good to start working on it again and seem like I'm making progress. Motor trans out of the donor Time to start building some axles Out with the old BA/10 Time for degunk and a coat of paint for the new (to me) ax15 Planning on V8 zj coil springs, steering and sway bar, metric ton spring from general spring, and rancho rs5000 shocks all the around

Ive got her back in the states now, debating on selling her and thinning out my large fleet of vehicles. between my grandfathers 1994 chevy 1500 that i inherited, 2 comanches, 2 cherokees, my mitsubishi built cj3b, my fairlady, a jetski, and mustang, i think i have too many.

Clutch kit came in, ordered a conversion pilot bushing from Novak that is supposed to adapt the newer external slaved ax15 to the older 4.0 and 4.2 cranks. I just need the weather to cooperate so that i can finish pulling the trans out of the donor xj and get installed in the comanche. Then i can get started rebuilding and regearing the 8.25 to go in it.

Got a roll bar, bikini top, and 31x10.50 mud terrains on 15x10 cragars. Also got a pto drive for my winch. Need to have drive shafts made and get my saturn overdrive. I love driving this thing.

got another parts jeep. 88 larado. going to take the front axles, door panels, seats, winch bumper, dash, dash harness, and some other odds and ends for my 4x4 swap and dads 4.0 swap.
