    25 years plus building Cjs,YJs,TJs,XJs,MJs,&ZJs for off-road competition. Building my own frames, suspensions, skids, rockers, roll cages, boat side's, bumpers. So now I have sold off my equipment and closed my shop. Only to get the bug 🪲 back. Purchased a 87 Comanche with a lot of potential. Well going in a different direction with this little guy. Only factory option is power brakes. It's a 4 speed 2.5 4 popper with manual steering 2 wheel drive. My intentions are to see how low I can get it the pavement.

    Gogmorgo The backside hole for the hub has a very small lip. Like the size of a toothpick. Used my die grinder removed the lip. Nice fit. And I like the look.

    I appreciate all your input. Wow didn't realize very limited options. The little guy is 2WD and would like to keep it 2WD. I guess worst case but major improvement would be chuck the 4 banger drop in a 4.0 HO with 2WD AW4. New 17 inch Jeep Patriot wheels added, dropped 2 inches in front 1 inch rear . Guess I should start a build tread.

    So most GM small bolt pattern rear wheel drive automatic trans should bolt up?

    Pete M the 4 speed is all new with new clutch set up new slave cyl. Done by P.O. Only issue is I have a 13 Wide foot. I'm 60 years of age and done shifting. Cruiser54 I thought the 2.5 was a Chrysler engine for 87. If so they kept the Iron duke rear bolt pattern? Thanks guys for the info. Here is my Manche soon to be a lot lower rolling on 18 inch wheels 2018 Dodge Charger toxic orange paint with power steering and hopefully find a Auto trans to bolt up to the 4 banger.

    Have a question. I have a 2WD 87 Comanche 2.5L only option it has is power brakes. Looking for a automatic 2WD trans. Found a couple 904 bolted to slant 6 Dodge D100. Do these trans have the same bolt pattern as my 2.5L?

    A lot of good information here. On my 4th Comanche (87 2WD 2.5L 4speed short bed) Working on a direction for my build. Bruceb like the direction your going. Keep us updated on your transformation.

    rolled the Comanche in and out of the shop tried selling everything. Comanche is back in the shop gaining more ideas. So tore the 30 down and here it is in all its glory.

    Great looking build, I have the same issue as johnj92131 over half of the pictures are not showing.

    Good score on the parts axle
  14. dragordie
    That's the only issue my MJ has is the drivers floor and most of the drivers side trans tunnel is rotted out. Are you going to stretch metal to form up the tunnel? or puzzle piece it? Nice steering set-up two thumbs up.

    Front plaiting is done. Front stubby Stinger bumper is welded up ​Still needing to weld in some webbing for added strength. Front axle still tore down. Need to obtain a job to pay bills and get an 8.8 and get a pair of axles under the frog.

    Balancing tires I have used in the tire world bags of equal. I have used bags of Equal in all my Semi and Trailer tires. Today I ran acrossed this web site and the chip trick is using air soft bbs. If your going to do this don't get the biodegradable ones they won't hold up to the mosture that develops inside a tire. Here is the link. look up your tire size and it will show how many ounces to use. http://www.innovativebalancing.com/BigTirechart.htm

    As far as the dash goes I have the cluster from my ZJ and its working. I might build a flat metal dash around it. I think the clusters are size and shape all the same. so it just might fit the original dash. If I was to go factory I would be looking for an XJ Country for the wood grain look. Rock Frog won't see much DD usage. Whatever is going to be basic and functional.

    The pic of after Electrolysis it shows spots that is what was left of the factory paint. Which with a wire brush the flakes came right off. Electrolysis is simple, easy, and cheep way to remove rust and old paint.

    Front plating is complete now onto the HP 30 the left inner seal was leaking plus the gears were 355. When tearing the HP 30 down found that the coil perches are rusted through not with small pin holes but these holes So I emailed Jeff Bullock of and this is what the big brown truck will be bringing me also tried my hand at Electrolysis I was amazed as to how it works and the results also amazing. Took the brake calipers which was trashed with rust. ​In the tank ​after the over night Electrolysis Bath ​And this is what was left behind in the tank

    Little more progress today took some 3/16 sheet steel and cutout a pair of front frame plates. Also finished up the Hack n Tap on the 242. Next for the 242 is drill n tap to add lines to run to the cooler More to come, I guess being unemployed might as well spend time on the Rock Frog.

    Getting ready to start cleaning up the 8.8 Big brown truck dropped of my 8.8 truss and hack n tap. sold the bed so working on what type of bed to build. open to suggestion here. 4.7 stroker still breaking it in. still needing to make and run brake lines do the hack n tap on the 242 and install. measure for front and rear drive shafts. Nice to have a heated shop for a change. no more burning wood. just set the thermostat to 65 and enjoy several hours working on the Rock Frog.
