probably not, but it's certainly possible Mr. 16"-rims-are-the-devil's-handiwork. :rotf:

x2 it'll either have the ratio on it, or the tooth count (divide them to get the ratio)

brakes changed over the years. try to get an axle that's as complete as possible. and please please get something better than 3.07s :no:

it's not the rims or the axles. the bed of a comanche is wider than the front. check for a recent thread in the Tech forum about wheel spacers. :thumbsup:

with an "open" diff such as yours, if one rear tire loses traction, all of the power is sent to that tire and it spins wildly but gets you nowhere. a locker forces both tires to rotate together.

the 2.5 is the good engine for 86 models. :thumbsup:

which rig is this for?

you're going to build a trailer out of the green bed, yes? :brows:

general rule of thumb: the skidplates could be added to any 4wd MJ.

practice, practice, practice on scrap pieces until you're confident in the power settings. :thumbsup:

I don't drive anything regularly. :dunno: I'm unemployed.

the 88 and 86 got tagged for removal today. :fs1: so I brought the 90 out of the garage and put it in the driveway then stuck the 88 in the garage. tomorrow I'll need to find a home for the 86. on the plus side, now that it's in the garage I can start working on the 88. on the short list: I'm swapping the spooled diff for my open diff and then replacing the u-joints in the rear driveshaft.

yeah no kidding :rant:

awesome. :D wish I had one of those at that age. interesting quandary on the tires. what about some black silicone?

item 151 on today's glitch list... :( although I found a post at the phpbb forums that says the one admin link won't work if the software wasn't properly updated (i.e. we were at version 3.04 and updated to 3.07 with the 3.06 patch instead of the 3.04 patch). might be a clue since that link doesn't work properly for me.

hmmm..... :hmm:

you seem to be getting pretty good at removing axles. :thumbsup:

didn't seem to be working on darren's post so we'll try this out.

If you can make it a day, you can make it a week. If you can make it a week, you can make it a month. and if Ben tries to offer you a drink, punch him in the gut. :D

I hate cleaning mud out of my drums so that they work again. :fs1:

you can get a set from your local dodge/chrysler/jeep dealership too through the Mopar parts catalog. less than 20 bucks. :thumbsup:

I'd start by calling it a "light bar" or a "sport bar". ain't no way that's going to do anything but crush like an empty pop can in the event of a roll over. bonus redneck points to you though. :thumbsup: it's free and it might kill you. :rotf:

welcome to the addiction :wavey: and I think those fronts are also Jeep rims. :thumbsup:

I'd still get the longer lower arms, but it may not make a difference if the coils are stiff and the shocks are cheap. :dunno:

yet another lovey-dovey, warm-n-fuzzy moment. brought to you by comanche club. :ack:
