questions are far more likely to get noticed if you put them in the tech forum. :thumbsup:

out of curiosity, what happened to the current engine?

maybe he had a partially wrecked MJ and partially wrecked XJ and was bored one day. :dunno:

have fun! :waving: are the fall colors going on?

which host site are you using?

neat!

:cheers: nothing like a good ol' comanche roadtrip . :MJ 1: .

those flares are completely unnecessary. :dunno:

old Jeeps are addictive. :yes:

I'm not sure anything in the junkyard will be as depressing as all the pristine cash-for-clunkers trucks I saw. :fs1:

um, you should probably put that in the Tech forum. :thumbsup:

want! :D

XJ shackles are shorter than MJ shackles, but because of geometry of leaf springs, they only lower the truck half of the difference between the 2.

well, the bright side is that more and more people are keeping them rather than just dumping them off at the junkyard.

thanks guys! :cheers: as awesome as that might sound, I'm very hesitant to go down that road because it takes more than money to make that happen. It requires work to set up, work to maintain, work to fix peoples problems, and a lot of responsibility on my shoulders to keep it all intact forever and ever. Yes, it is annoying when photos aren't in old threads, but for the most part google retains just about everything so you should be able to find anything important. :thumbsup:

if any of you guys wanted to throw a couple bucks at your site, now's the best time. :thumbsup: the paypal ID is: comancheclub@hotmail.com or message me for an old-school postal address.

all costs being equal, I'd go with 4.56 without any hesitation. :thumbsup: If 4.10s are cheaper, then that's up to you. I've got 4.10s and 33s and I want a bit more gear for both highway and trail.

doubtful. I'm catching up on the dvr and got to see their little tidbit and they never even said the word "comanche". as much as I can appreciate using the name in a truck racing series, if you can't even be bothered to get some stickers that look like the b-pillar vents, then please don't.

4.88s have a stigma for weakness (the gears become rather puny because of the tooth count), but there is plenty of beef on 4.10s. :thumbsup:

I love breaking out the recovery gear! what's the point of having all these cool toys if you never get to use them? :D looks like you had a great time . :MJ 1: .

I would get the 44 regeared and convert it to disk brakes. :thumbsup:

I custom made mine. pretty easy too. used a hole saw to cut through the frame (both sides), cut some stress spreading plates with the holesaw and a grinder, cut 3 outriggers made from round DOM, and 2x2 1/4" for the rocker guard length. I don't have a real welder, so I had to farm that part out, but that was maybe 40 bucks. It functions as both frame strengthener and rocker guard.

neat!

car-part.com is a junkyard search engine that might be of help with locating used springs (and other parts) :thumbsup:
