MancheKid86

new project, do alignment proper, chewed through a brand new set of rubber in roughly 2 weeks TRE's rusted solid, a bit of seam foam deep creep and this handy vice with the pipe bender and they came out like pie clamp a vice grip as hard as possible on it, vice grip in tube bender, apply all weight on crescent wrench cleaning the inside with the deep creep (breaks down rust) purple power :D all done, 1/8" toe in with tape measure gotta start this project some time

U bolts weren't the proper size, they bent the radius too small, Trust me they are not coming off And the shocks were an after though the bolt holes didn't lime up where I wanted them, And the welds are burned in there deep a lot stronger than ubolts would be :P :thumbsup:

went 4x4ing with my buddy, but i sketched out and turned around and he decided to keep going ended up rolling his truck down the cliff so went up today, got to say i told ya so, started cutting his truck outta the side of the mountain, luckily there is a trail below, here's some pics, doesnt look to steep from this angle winch to move all the logs holding him up and to put it into perspective, hes standing straight up almost out going out on wednesday to finish the job and here's a pic of my manche :D

if you happen to go back and find this red MJ still sitting there, could you find out the price on that windshield visor thing? I'm not sure if i would like it on my truck or not... uber rare moon visor, snag it up!!!

developed this groaning whirring noise in my engine, its on the passenger side, can't figure out what it is does it when the engine is warm+cold kinda sounds like a cat semi dying, could it been from water on alt?

:drool:

20 ^_^ never really went to the bars :shake:

best deal so far :thumbsup:

guess i should introduce my manche :D 1988 laredo, 6 cyl 4.0L converted to 4wd, 1999 ax-15 external slave conversion with np231 tcase, lockrite locker in the rear, lifted 6" in the rear (soa) and 4.5" zone off-road lift in the front, planning on adding my 8000lb winch + bush bumper, and getting bigger tires

hes gotcha, ive had a guy say that to me, he took my money, gave me the screw driver, ive never seen a guy peace out so fast :shake: but that was just what happened to me i hope it works out for ya like remi said you should check this one out, have some options, its like dating more than one person to find the right one http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/cto/2952536105.html it looks like a decent deal, even has a rebuilt engine in it

looks like they painted over everything, quick paint job do a closer inspection to make sure they didnt just cover up the rust :thumbsup:

used to be electric :shake: now they are manual :thumbsup: went to a meet n greet today, bout 4 people didnt make it, but it was alright, all different rigs were there

Cable drive, Question is do I need to swap the smaller 28 tooth gear onto the long shaft, (the one that came with tranny 99 ax-15) or can I use the larger 28 tooth gear that came out of my 88 tranny :thumbsup:

Swapped in my tranny, Threw the old speedo gear in, Its the same amount of teeth but bigger, Do I need to swap over to the other one? But just stick that gear on the longer shaft?

:redX: what happened to pics?

thats nothing compared to some of the ontario cars. after 2-3 years a new car's frame has to be either rebuilt or repaired, keep up the work! its going to look bad @$$ when its done, if you do drive it in the winter. lots of car washes!

decided to join the "cool" club put my other 97+ mirror on :banana: this is what i mean when i say i turned my jeep into an eep XD during the install this happened, i don't know how but it did, took a razor blade to the end of it until it popped back in while i was out i decided to investigate why my left speaker wasnt working, hmm... :wrench:

BUMP!!!! GET THIS THING ON THE ROAD! :yes: :yes: *edits* i fail, it is on the road :rotf: more pics!

had the death wobble, what an experience, my jeep turned iinto an eep and I'm shy of more than a few pairs of pants, ive narrowed the problem down... (shhh) i think its my track bar :shake: so.. i installed this steering stabilizer to mask the problem until i can buy another one forgot to post pics of my shocks mounted :yes: now time to start on odds and ends, got my wiring harness adapter installed re did all the connections on my positive + negative cables for my amp got my subs installed. i had to remove the top of my center consol to get it in, then re-attach it more to come, i need to fix my speedo

did an ax-15 4wd conversion to my 2wd 1988 comanche, and alas i don't have any more speedometer, i switched my speedo gear to the stock one, rotated to the 28 teeth mark, and still nothing, could i have stretched the cable to far? or what would cause this, i would love to know what speed I'm going, thanks for reply in advance :thumbsup:

good work! keep the progress up, especially pics, lots of pics :yes:

ditto, pnp actually crushed the mj i was pulling parts out of, WHILE I WAS PULLING PARTS! looking good, keep them pics coming

I'm not sure if you guys know what I'm doing for school, well here it is I'm in school at this moment to become an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Mechanic specializing in Helicopters :yes: i will be finished on feb 3rd 2013 and will be a 2nd year apprentice, ive learned lots, hydraulics turbos +super chargers riveting sheet metal work inspections electrical systems carbs/fuel injection vibration analysis recipe engine's turbine engines, making composites bearings and seals, the list goes on and on, i finally got to tear apart an engine this is where I'm at my work space my engine 0-320-H2AD the tear down split the crank case this is how i achieved that ^^ washers on one side, no washers on the other, acts as a "pry bar" without doing damage to the crank case, 2 of those setups on either side of the case down to the heart of the engine and this is what a reciprocating engine looks like disassembled done for the day this is where i am at for now, i have to measure every component and make sure its all in tolerence, re assemble to correct torque values, and then run the engine up :D i shall update this once i have a significant amount of pics

BEST UPGRADE YET! i do the shock mounts after school tomorrow :banana: then she's on the road
