Mind if I ask what the cost of the factory kit was?

Bullet holes don't cost extra.

Finding just the right MJ is proving difficult. One of the things I want is AC, but a lot I'm finding do not have it. Has anyone added AC to an MJ and if so how and what parts did you use? What things to watch for? Not worth it?

I'm sure I will get some flack for this, but I have had TeraFlex springs in my TJ for 6 years now and they have served well. Unlike the rest of the TeraFlex products that have since been replaced.... grrr.... I have never run them myself, but I've never heard or read anyone who was unhappy with their OME springs.

Good to know. Thanks for the tip!

One thing I noticed today while poking around on http://www.chryslerpartsdirect.com/ was they did list the 242 as a "part" for the Comanche

I was thinking the same thing! Great work.

I like both the XCab Long Box and the Crew Cab Long Box. Sure would make it a lot more functional.

Who's done it? Happy with the results? What would you change? Did you have a method to the madness? Pictures?

Nice looking Comanche!

I love the progress so far. Can't wait to see where it goes.

Thanks man. I've already learned a lot and have gotten so many good ideas for my future MJ.

Actually its just a matter of being able to turn screws and unplug plugs. Then replug plugs and turn screws the other way. I saw one MJ have this done to it, but darned if I remember where. If anyone has a link, writeup, or pics please post.

I always wondered how much sun glare you might get off of one of those.

I have read many write ups on swapping out the whole cluster for one with the tach, but I was wondering if anyone has installed something like auto meter gauges.

I love this Comanche. It's just what my XJ would look like if only it was a truck. Same color, rims, I love it!

I have to saw the swap from a HD231 to the 242 in my TJ was and is my favorite modification. I highly recommend it!

Good to know thanks. I know my AW4 and 242 were from a 98 and 97 XJ. Would I be correct in thinking that I would need a 242 from a pre 97 XJ due to the output shaft spline count (so I don't have to swap an input gear)?

General knowledge for people who have experience with the MJ. I love Jeeps and have been into them for some time, but really don't know squat about the MJ.

Was the 242 ever offered in the Comanche? I swapped an AW4 and 242 from a XJ into my TJ so I have a good idea on what a swap takes, but wondered if there would be anything specific to the MJ that a swap for a 242 would take?

That list would be huuuuuuge if it were complete. Occasionally they changed the colors of the wires, apparently just for the heck of it. :dunno: Okay, well maybe not THAT specific, but you know what i mean.

Sweet.

Has anyone ever compiled a list of the changes made to the Comanche each model year?
