Can Spell Comanche (2/11)
-
Geonovast you are correct sir, that is exactly what I am looking for from the xj, going to look at it in a couple days. So cross my fingers it doesn't have any dark secrets like a missing trans :/ .

Hey guys been looking for a donor xj for 4wd parts for my Comanche, there is a 96 xj 4.0 manual with 350000 Km on it or 217479 miles for my american friends. My question is would something with this much mileage be worth buying for the drivetrain? The guys wants 500 bucks for the thing, apparently runs but needs starter. Came from out of province so he needs to get it inspected to get it insured here so that seems to be why he is selling it. http://saskatoon.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-trucks-1996-Jeep-Cherokee-SUV-W0QQAdIdZ485998838

So I finally got some time to pull some stuff apart the ball joints seem good knuckle turns easy, I did swap out my steering shock since it seems to have leaked all the fluid out of it, drives a bit more normal now, tho still seems off I'm going to have a wheel alignment done once i get some new tires on I think.

Hey guys I have a 2wd long box 4.0 with the poopy peugot 5 spd, I want to convert to 4wd , I have a donor 89 4x4 4.0l with the crappy tranny as well. Just wondering if the trans case from the 4x4 will bolt onto the 2wd?
-
Hey guys my truck seems to want to run smoother at an Idle and in general with this unplugged? I'm assuming something is wrong because vacuum lines should be attached lol
-
airspeed what exactly do you mean the ball joints were too tight? Like had resistance inside and were not swiveling properly?
-
Thanks for the replies guys! I will roll the truck into the shop when i get a second and go over the front suspension to see if i can find anything.
-
Hey guys just got a new comanche a couple weeks ago 89 2wd 4.0 and the steering seems ....odd? It may just need a wheel alignment but it seems to want to wander around and not drive straight ? Iits definitely drive able but just seems to not want to steer normaly.
-
Or this for the general shape possibly filling in with plate in the open areas and adding lights in the corners, and minus the bars prerunner bars coming up ?
-
Another Question does anyone know the strength to weight difference between regular tubing and DOM, i think its DOM the stuff they use to build roll cages?
-
hey guys thanks for all the replies! for the front i was thinking something along the lines of this, minus the center area for the winch ( FYI I am planning on building it myself at my work shop)
-
Hey guys this might be asking the impossible but I have been wondering about the feasibility of a lightweight tube bumper for one of my projects. My 89 2wd to 4wd truck is going to be an capable daily driver running 31's on stock suspension with lockers etc Mileage being a priority. So long story short I want to put stronger bumpers on front and back with tow points, but don't want a 200 pound monstrosity. Has anyone done a project like this or know of the top of their head what a minimal tube bumper weighs? No winch FYI

Anyone near red deer I saw this one on kijiji, or if you feel like a bit of a drive. Here :D 90 4x4 eliminator!

Other than the one spot where its gone through there It seems pretty solid. That area is going to be my first venture into cutting out a spot and welding in a new piece of metal on outer body. So we will see how that goes haha. The whole thing is going to end up getting painted flat black the right way if I can find a new clutch.

Due to the seller only having a bike as a spare vehicle and his new on delayed being here I have to wait till thurs to get it :(. Its raining like a B here so hes not fond of riding in the rain i guess.
