  1. you can never have enough backup light :yes: tick season might be winding down, but freezing your butt off season is right around the corner! . :MJ 1: .
  2. what are the future plans for your truck?
  3. you are most welcome :thumbsup: I can't promise that your truck won't send you to the poor house, but I can promise that we'll all do our best to help you spend that money wisely. . :MJ 1: .
  4. yes. :thumbsup:
  5. excellent! :clapping:
  6. axle choice and engine choice are completely separate things. one rarely affects the other. :thumbsup: (unless you get a big v8 and puny axles, then one will affect the other :D ) early bronce axles suck unless you throw a lot of money at them. if I remember right, they have small ujoints, the front is low pinion, and the rear has little shafts and bearings. you'd be ahead of the game with late model XJ dana 30/8.25. or are you referring to the kingpin dana 60? that guy have a lot of stuff for sale.

    what the?!

    Good Grief!

    a-yup :D a bit spooky the first time it happens.
  9. very nice! :thumbsup:
  10. neat! don't think they have one of those 'round here. :D
  11. the way I see it, I get to live vicariously though all their trucks. :D
  12. never really understood why a functioning MJ was necessary for hanging around. :dunno: please see rule #3: http://comancheclub.com/topic/1183-rules-for-the-comanche-club-forums/
  13. the perches of a cherokee axle would need to be moved regardless of SOA or SUA. they are a different width apart. but don't fret, as it's the simplest of welding tasks and any auto shop (eg. a muffler joint) should be able to help you out. :thumbsup: I don't believe I've ever heard of an SYE kit for the 207. It's not really needed on MJs anyway. make sure the gear ratio in your new axle matches the current one.
  14. those are the only 2 (or another 2.8) that will reuse your engine's accessories, exhaust, transmission, intake, etc. everything else is a huge deal.

    They do exist!

    nice! a bet one would look good on my nos bedside on the wall. :D I'll have to keep an eye out.
  16. a lack of power could be definitely be a bad cat.
  17. the 3.4/3.1 from an early 90s Camaro/Firebord is externally the same and a far superior engine inside. :thumbsup:
  18. I can see a dealership only putting a small piece of the VIN into a computer and coming back with a different vehicle, but all 17 digits? holy crap that's a long shot! :eek: go buy a lotto ticket!!
  19. worse than the peugeot? or the CAD? or the wiring harness blunders? or the 35? or the dozen different ways that water gets under the carpet? that says a lot. :D
  20. you don't need a windshield. Bugs are just extra protein in your diet. :D
  21. clean the area and see if oil is leaking out. the oil filter housing adapter thingie has a set of little o-rings that can leak with age. on the other hand, it took 5 tries to get my RMS to stop leaking, so anything is possible. they invented a double-lipped RMS to deal with cranks that have worn little grooves where the regular RMS lip sits.
  22. I've got about 5.5 and 33x12.5s and had to trim a bit off the bottoms of the fenders. bumpstop extensions are your friends. :thumbsup:
  23. yup. the little plastic Jeeps are labeled 3-6 and he'll be 5 soon. but I need a welder before I can truly go bigger. I bought a second old PW Jeep for his brother, but it looks more like Zayne will outgrow his Jeep before Alec is old enough to drive, so I might need only the one. :dunno: I've seen guys that have modded the seat so it goes back a bit further and therefor the kid can ride a bit longer. we'll see.
  24. added a trailer. built it out of an old powerwheels trailer the neighbors were throwing out. ditched the super-heavy dump bed for a simple tote and added a pintle hitch to work with the Jeep. and there is a steel bracket behind the bumper of the Jeep. :thumbsup: the clevis is not just through plastic.
