  4. Nice manche sir! Welcome to comanche club Your going to wana talk to shelbyluvv, He is currently doing the swap on "blackbetty" :thumbsup:
  5. swapped my taillights to a fresher pair from the pile and then the fun began that there is a brake caliper, seems my bolts sheared off my caliper, made for an interesting ride home the replacement hardware, decided to do both sides :thumbsup: the easy side done same extraction kit from my first manche :wrench: all back together now the real fun, went decent first time re-gearing an axle and lucked out shimming wise swapping rings over the old pinion gear in the freezer and bearing in the toaster oven trick :thumbsup: good to go! :D 3.55 vs. 3.07 all in, i lucked out, the pinion gears had the same amount of shims needed put new shims in from shim/gasket kit and checked the mesh pattern everything good, all bolted back up and now for cleanup! decided to wash my rims at my buddys, woah! still need to do exhaust the new gears is world of difference, also found a booboo inside that i corrected and boy she's smooth, need to replace the speedogear next jeep on

  8. I got about 7-8" of lift with my 2wd m/t leafs :thumbsup: Mine had an aal added in at somepoint tho.
  9. i had the same problem with my lock cyls and rockauto, i took my old cyl and removed the outer face new ones can be obtained from a locksmith or you can carefully put the old one back on, pop the inner out, using a micro screwdriver and small hammer you can punch the pins out (bottom up) you can then either re-use them or get new pins from a locksmith ~50 cents clean everything out, wd40 works good to remove sulfidation re-assemble in reverse order
