No 3" lift is for "hardcore" wheeling. The money you spend will be towards driveability and quality of craftsmanship. Neither should be skimped on. :D

No matter what paint you go with, get one of these to spray with:

Gears in the Dana 44 tend to follow the same rules as the 35. So if it's a 4.0L/auto, it'll likely have 3.55s. But since so much time has passed, it's always a good idea to check and not assume.

Like Florida? :dunno: :D

Harbor freight had a set of looong extensions for pretty darn cheap. :D http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/d ... mber=39193

Awesome! Progress! But I thought you weren't allowed to touch it for a while? Oh, and I'm out of town for the next week so if you need a hand with anything, I'll be 700 miles away. :roll: If you need to get the axle outta your way sooner than that, I guess you could leave it in my back yard behind the garage. Call me first so I can tell my mom and she doesn't freak out thinking that someone is steeling any of the my awesome junk I've got back there. :D

CPS sensors are known to be temperamental and unpredictable once they start to die. I'm not saying it's your CPS for sure, but you wouldn't be the first that had a CPS that checked out ok but was eventually found to be the problem. 8)

Ya know, there's an add-on for firefox that does spellchecking while you type... :brows: I've got feeling in more fingers than you and I still need it desperately. :roll:

That computer and those injectors are precisely why your truck rocks (well, them and the solid front axle). But I imagine if you were to want less reliability, less performance and worse fuel mileage, I bet somehow you could adapt the carb from a 4.2L Wrangler. But to make that work I bet you'd also have to swap to the YJ's head and manifold. This should be relatively easy to find since YJ owners are dumping them for the better flowing and superior fuel injection setups found in your truck and later Wranglers. Heck, you might even be able to trade your stuff for some YJ owners stuff. :D But seriously, the computer in our trucks has a long history of reliability and a proven track record of performance. It should never cause you grief. :thumbsup: :cheers:

You guys aren't handing out CC cards to these people?

Why? :hmm: I'm incredibly puzzled.

Before all the vultures pounce on you, be prepared to hear over and over how silly that idea is. :D But seriously, why are you contemplating this? What's wrong with the system as it sits now?

The price makes it border on too good to be true. Make sure there's nothing physically wrong with it.

3300 is an awful lot for the 2.5L/4speed/2wd.

The only reason I went this direction is because; the project truck is 2 WD, The TJ axle was low miles, geared right and $250. I'll spend more than that to regear the 30 in the donor Comanche. It's a gas miser w/ 3:31's and has 200,000 miles on it so that would be an easy $5-600. I posted the article for the tech not the process, and really not the price tag. I really don't need a locked front axle. I just don't understand how the same axle used in a Jeep TJ with very good results can be considered so bad for a Comanche destined for the same type of operation. If I had that kind if dinero I'd get (2) 9" Currie axles set up for the Comanche control arms and SOA. You'll have to forgive Eagle as he can be a little, um, blunt sometimes. But believe me, he only wants the best for you. I think he feared you were going to do the swap as described in that article, which is insane. But if you've got an axle lined up for a decent price and it has the right gears, I'd say it would be a good candidate. :thumbsup:

bump. Somebody go grab their camera! :roll:

I'll have to hunt that down. It's somewhere in the external harddrive. Not sure how big it is or what the quality would be.

Through 90 should be compatible with the least amount of effort.

So that's it? The USPS lost everyone else's? :roll:

So Ray isn't all about the big speaking roles, eh? :roll:

Sweeeeet.... :D I heard rumors about an A-team movie too. :brows:

If I have at least one functional MJ by that time, I'll be there. :D

Careful what you wish for. I actually prefer an open diff in the snow. A posi just makes the truck's tail spin around and fishtail. If you're playing in the snow that's off the road, may I suggest a pair of tire chains. :D They work great!

What hat? I get to keep the sample hat. :roll: And I'm sharing it with my dog. :D
