What would you say a fair price is? 40-45?

Need: both rear speaker brackets that go behind the b-pillar Blank switch plate that goes on the right side of the steering wheel I need the screws that hold up the e-brake handle (somehow lost mine) working set of interior light bump switches that go inside the door sill both window crank handles (black or grey preferred) Thank you for taking your time to look this over. Reply or PM me with any offers if you can.

I am not, sorry :-(. I am still in avaition though working for Boeing in Charleston, SC

Thank you. That is exactly what I needed. Approx. what size lift would i need? Would a leaf relocate and 2" lift springs work? Also, referencing a regear, what gear ratio would I need to upgrade to (4.25?)

My dad has his factory 32x11's from his JK that he has will work for my factory 2.5. I plan on getting the lug adapters for the 4x4.5 to the 5x5 for the tires. I just need to know will my engine be able to handle the size, and will the factory height need adjustment for fitment?

Ok. Havent posted i quite a long time. Here are a few updates....Reverse is shot in my trans, realized my head sounds like its ready to blow its ticking so bad. and the engine is starting to run extremely rough now while driving with really high idle (probably just the spring, but not too sure). Bout to get to ordering part soon once money hit the bank account. Look like I am getting a rebuilt long block from rock-auto, getting a trans rebuild and a good paint job. Not too sure if I want to tackle the 4WD conversion yet or wait a little bit since I don't want to get tempted to start to radical of a build with only a 2.5, so I am sticking with a stock rebuild for now. I know I have seen a few Comanches since I have moved here to North Charleston, not sure if any are on here. I will start updating with pics as soon as this ice decides to melt away and I can get some good pics.

Both of mine twisted off on the radiator side when replacing my radiatior. Already had my jerry rigged setup come apart on me and spit fluid everywhere. Need them ASAP is possible for a rebuild I am doing soon.

Will doing a 98+ swap work on an 86 MJ?

I am going down to Titan Motorsports in Orlando for all my custom work. When I asked what custom work they could do for me, they answered "anything you need". They haven't given me a price on the pistons and rods yet because I need to take them a sample for them to base it off of. I am going to see them on Firday hopefully so I will have some better answers then.

We are hoping to be done within that time frame, keyword there being HOPING. We have a shop for the forged pistons, crank and rods to support the turbo, we have a spearco intercooler lined up that will fit where we need it, a wastegate and blow-off valve that should work. Only obsticle we have to overcome now is finding a shop that will be able to custom fab all the piping and exhaust manifold that is in the Jacksonville area. I have a shop in Orlando that can do it, we will just have to tow the Comanche down there so they can fab it around everything for the right dimensions. The only major problem I can see me running into is time, money, and resources. Hopefully those problems will be minimal to non existant. Already in external mods, I am looking at a $2000 estimate for fenders, lift, rims, and hood. If anyone has a cowl hood they want to see for the Rally Comanche cause, please speak up :D . More to follow shortly with any details and updates. As update roll around, any progress to the 'manche, pics will follow for all yall pic hounds :roll: .

My buddy build jeep engines in his sleep, and fully built turbo car engines when he is groggy. He already has a bored out and fully built neon engine, prelude turbo, acura intrega turbo, and a few others i think. We are going to take the engine VERY slowly while we are building it to make sure everything is imaculate so everything will work. Honestly, I am not 100% sure its going to work, but I sure do want to try at this because if everything works out how we plan it to, it's going to be one bad mamba jamba when its done. I have my fingers crossed that he will be able to get this done right, which I mean, I have full faith that he can get everything done perfect, and get everything hooked up and tuned right...its all the other elements that are outta my control that I am worried about. Anyways I know everyone always says "This thread is worthless without pics" so here are some of the engine as it sits now, where we want the turbo to sit (we have connections all around for the custom piping for the exhaust mani and exhaust piping), and some pics of the actual turbo (which is a Greddy GT22V)

First one...already in the process of it :D Second...She helps me work on my Jeep...on her own free will

It probably is the AX-5, I just remember spending about 2 hours figureing out how we are going to start this. I will post up pictures of the Comanche, the Cherokee, and the turbo that is going in the Comanche. But, all in all, we have to rebuild two engines, yank two, and pull three. I have been jumping back and forth from two different forums spectrums, so sometimes i may mistake a little bit of wording (like i did with the tranny :oops: ). As for the fuel management, we are going with MPFI with upgraded injectors for a total of four nozzels per injector instead of the stock one

Ok, I understand many of you are asking yourselves "A turbo Comanche?"...and yes, I said TURBO. This should be a somewhat quick project due to me and my buddy are tag teaming this. He has a lot of experience on building custom engines. So we are hoping this should only take a few weeks to maybe two months at the most...hopefully. For this project, there lie many more projects to even get the Comanche started on, because I am taking the 2.5 and the AX-15 out of his Cherokee and replacing it with the 4.0 H.O. So before the Comanche can get started the following have to take place: -4.0 needs rebuilt -Cherokee 2.5 and tranny needs to be lifted out -ECU and two injector conectors need to be acquired and added -4.0 and tranny get dropped into Cherokee THEN.... -Stock 2.5 from Comanche gets pulled and set aside (probably forever) -New 2.5 gets rebuilt with low compression pistons, bored out, custom exhaust manifold needs to be fabricated -AX-15 gets new clutch -Turbo will be fit (placement already figured out) -Run FMIC, Up-pipe, Down-pipe, intake, oil cooler lines -AEM FIC/8 -Mega Squirt System -Full new exhaust -Custom engine wiring harness After all the engine insanity, the Comanche is recieving a 4.5" lift and a set of 31's on Cragar soft 8's. The bed is coming off (will be for sale if anyone interested), custom frame tie in roll cage with a sheet metal top extention to add a wrangler back zip window. Cut the bed back to right after the rear wheels and reenforce the frame rails, bit of sheet metal for the tail lights and licence plate. For a front brush/grill guard we havent figured anything out just yet, so if anyone has an idea shoot it to me. The usual front fender cut out, front bushwacker flares. From there is going to be a figure it out as we go if we get ideas, because the last thing on the project is getting the interior because of the custom wiring harness so we have to build a custom guage enclosure and rerun everything in the cab for overhead console, probably a 7 speaker audio system. Sounds like a lot to get done, but we are going to be putting HOURS upon HOURS of work into all this a day. When we get this complete...Moab anyone?

Where can you find one of those cowl hoods?
