she's unique if surrounded by other MJs. park that next to 50 blah-blah JKs and you're going to attract a lot of attention.

sittin' pretty low. longbeds for the win!

yeah, I'm going to end this particular thread. been dead too long.

how much might they be asking for such a device?

any MJs? usually the ebrake pedals remain.

there is more to cut off on the liberty axle since it's a link suspension, but after that you can weld on the new perches to make it an MJ axle. check out Dzimm's build thread. he put one in his race truck. the ZJ will bolt-in.

is it a runner?

another option is 3.73 geared dana 30 from a ZJ matched with a 3.73 8.25 from a Libby. both are pretty common in the 'yards. be sure to also start researching the dual booster swap. WJ arms are the same length as the MJ arms and can work for up to 3" of lift. they are way better built and a good upgrade. combine that with 3" coils and shocks and longer brake lines. there is some adjustment in the lower control arm rear mounts for alignment purposes.

nope. it's my spin on a classic Jeep one

funny you mention it, as I do in fact have a decal on the way for the trailer. (not a star.) it should be here in a couple days.

it's a real shame. but that's why I've been collecting all I can find to take back north

it's not stripped as long as it has the bed, ebrake pedal and spare tire hoist.

slightly better photo

yes, absolutely. but I'd like to see your leafpacks first.

did you add the vin to the registry yet? https://comancheclub.com/forum/28-comanche-registry/

this is precisely where you need to be. one of the members that works at dealerships will run the vin and get you all the info Chrysler has to offer. keep in mind that a bunch of info from the late 80s never got into the Chrysler computer system and so the original build list is larger than we get from Chrysler today. your original paper copy might still be in the truck. common locations are under the drivers seat, inside the door panel, under the dash on the pass side or even behind the rear carpet panel.

I assure you, the decision will be mine alone. after all, I'm the one that has to stare at it while I'm driving. but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate input from my friends. I think I might cut a star out of cardboard and hit it with paint so I can better visualize. but this is the type of thing I'm looking at :

what size tires do you have now? a 3" lift and 31s will likely suit you just fine. car-part.com can help you find junkyard parts. the site only lists by part number not compatibility and any year XJ dana 30 will bolt in, so be sure to look for various years. 95+ will have the bigger Ujoints. 4.10s can be found in Liberty 8.25s and explorer 8.8s. some simple welding is required either way since you'll need new perches put on in the MJ location. 33s only have 1" more ground clearance than 31s and a 4.5" lift only lifts it 1.5" higher than a 3". but the bigger things bring more headaches and costs. rocker guards and bumpers are worth their weight in gold. don't forget about solid recovery locations like tow hooks or a hitch. can you share a photo of your leafs? it almost looks like you've got a later metric ton pack with the double overloads. don't get ahead of yourself and spend any cash until you're comfortable with the plan forward. there's a TON of info on the CC. lots of it in the link in my sig and in this thread:

yes, that is the center console for the benches. note that in 1990 the benches got headrests so the back window was no longer the thing stopping you from whiplash. oh, and Raybuck makes brand new bench covers in multiple fabrics and colors so you don't need to find a perfect bench.

that guy has quite the collection of stuff!

so with inflation... it's a bargain!

holy giant chunk of change batman! I don't think that's going on my nos wall. it would look good though

it fits like a glove so I'm assuming so. I've not tried it on other 'gates.

behold my brilliant MS Paint skills! been giving thought to a flat black star on the hood. pretend this is flat black, and weathered looking. something more subtle. maybe not the door stars.

finally matched up with the Libby again. rocking 7 Rubi rims while rollin' round the town
