    No Idea... But i decided instead repairing it like i was gonna do, id do a much needed gear swap and go ahead and put in a locker up front that full engages and dis engages.

    I posted this in a tech thread, but just to keep my build documented I'm updating this thread as well. Broke the pins that are inside of the spartan locker... Literally just driving on a road is when it happened. Went to turn and it was darn near impossible. So... I have since ordered an OX locker for the front and I am replacing my 3.55 gears with 4.88's front and rear. Parts will be here this week.

    Just you an idea this is mine. The previous owner painted this way. I was dead set on black, but the color is really growing on me
  5. DigitalBman
    Looking good man! Are you painting that your self in your garage?

    Here's a picture I found from the day I bought her.. If that helps at all. Great info by the way!! I'm sure that will come in handy for lots of people!

    Not the best picture, but I have these, the power adjustable heated leather XJ seats in mine... And with how I have to sit to comfortably press the clutch to the floor, my knees practically touch the dash... And if I slouch, they do.

    Interior room is definitely less with the swap. Several inches less leg room and everything comes out further from the firewall. I also have the XJ leather limited seats. I am not very big at 180 and 5'9"... I'm fine. But definitely notably less room than in my stock comanche

    Just to be clear, I'm gonna have to remove the axle shafts, pull everything out, break apart the locker and reassemble right? No easy way to do it huh?

    So... great suggestions fellas! I really appreciate it, I hoped that then brake was the problem... but nope. Turned out some of the pins are sheared inside the locker assembly... Looks like I'm gonna have to just replace the pins and springs and hope it stays together.. don't have the money to replace it with an eaton locker right now.. What could be the cause of this? In the time I have owned this jeep, I have not done anything very aggressive or had a wheel up in the air spinning and suddenly catch or nuthin... but I have no idea what kind of wheeling it went through before I bought it.

    So... Ran into an issue today. The spartan locker that's up front in the D30 seems to have locked and won't unlock... Not sure what the problem is or could be. Or how to get it to unlock. If I take off the diff cover to investigate the issue, any parts I should have on hand to replace? Not sure if it's a worn out spring or broken spring in the locker.. I'm just not sure and would appreciate some starting points! Some more symptoms: It is nearly impossible to turn left or right on the asphalt. It hardly pops at all now, it did pop in turns under loads before. But now it's just locked and no popping. This is how I had to drive home... Cuz of course I was 60 miles away when it happened... It was pulling hard right

    This is my Shortened XJ headliner so far. I'm 5'9" on a good day. About two inches of clearance even with my XJ limited seats that sit up pretty high.
  13. DigitalBman
    This happened today!! Thought it was fitting.. And anybody that knows comanches will question it

    Here is the double din install so far. What I think I'm gonna do is move the radio to the left, so the buttons are aligned with the dash bezel, on the right make a pocket with a rubber or textured liner to place my phone, ID's, change, etc. Gonna make it out of fiber glass. But I'm really happy that I didn't have to modify the dash bezel. Went with this pioneer Cuz it allows duel video input, that means rock crawl cameras. That means my wife won't have to get out and spot me all the time! Lol Got the jeep thrown back together Cuz my dad and grandma are coming for a visit, will he their first time seeing this jeep in person. Also, wanted to get some seat time in it to make sure everything is squared away for the event I'm going to on the 22nd at Kansas Rocks.

    Got the new oil pan in over the weekend. Turned out because of how warped the old oil pan was, when I pushed everything up to the engine and tightened it down, it kicked out the gasket on the rear. And the gasket maker dried in the position. Put on a Moroso oil pan, holds two extra quarts, has slosh plates and baffles to keep the oil near the pick up tube. Pretty kick @$$! Everything went on good and hold oil just fine! Also got the amplifier mounted as well as 4 of the 8 speakers. Got the 6.5"s in the doors, 6x9"s in the rear, the limited tweeters, and two 6 3/4" subwoofers mounted above the head. 2,000 watts through a 5 channel amp. Every wire is hidden. Also installed a 6.5 inch double din head unit.

    So a little update! Cleaned the extremely dirty floor, welded up and patched up holes that were left in the floor, cleaned up some cancer, painted the patches and the floor with some bedliner. The cab now has no holes allowing air to flow through and create the draft it had. Then laid some dynamat style material. Literally covered every square inch of the floor and back wall, even inside the B-Pillars. This stuff seriously looks and feels exactly like dynamat. There is nearly 80 square feet of dynamat and dynamat style deafening material between the floor and the roof. And began installing the new carpet. Still have trimming to do and some fitting to do. Also sanded and painted the E-Brake mechanism.

    Just for S&G's, this is how the bumper arrived today. Didn't get a picture but on the bottom side there was some scuff damage as well. But all was well. I believe the 2x4 in the middle really protected it!

    So on My swapped MJ, the cable that is installed for the E Brake is from a cherokee. Obviously it is to long. What cable fits and works correctly for the newer style E Brake from the cherokees located in the center console. Anybody know? Or can point me in the correct direction? In this picture you can see the loop of the E Brake Cable. (Plus all the extra wiring)

    Subscribed. Sounds like you had an adventure getting your truck!:] My swapped and AX-15 MJ I drove a 1,000 miles to pick up! Was a fun trip! Iv got a little issue with my fuel gauge as well. Except mine, when it gets half empty means I need fuel now. Right now. Haven't even begun to look into it, iv been fixing other issues and I just use the odometer like yourself.

    Replaced the rear main seal and oil pan gasket. Oil pan was pretty warped and beat from rocks. Everything seemed to be doing great until I got home and oil was spewing out. Can't tell if it's the pan, the RMS, or a combination of the two. So iv ordered some new parts and I will try again next weekend!

    Where did you get thoes Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk From 1timberlake on eBay details are a few posts up. Question, did you happen to replace the heater core and evaporator core when you built the jeep?

    I love these lights! Rigid Industries bought out truck lights, I had been eying the JW Speakers.... But just to much $$$. And I loved the darker look of the truck lights after rigid bought them. These lights have extremely clean cut offs and great output. Very happy with them. Will post some night pics. I still need to finish adjusting them. These are LED, so no warm up time and no ballast. The drive shaft at full flex seems to have enough bite That I'm not gonna worry to much about it right now.. It did great at Kansas rocks going over some obstacles at more than full flex.

    I bought this off of ebay from 1timberlake. He is the same person i got my overhead console from. We exchanged phone numbers and h made a deal. I traded him my old RKE board that i had with 3 remotes and I gave him some cash on top of it. But they go from 80 all the way to 150 is what iv seen these boards go for. Each RKE board can have up to four remotes programmed to it. It came from the factory with two. So having the original two remotes and 2 additional OEM remotes is pretty cool. I recommend just messaging him on eBay and I'm sure he can hook you up.

    Also installed this today, a new RKE board with 4 factory Key Fobs. They do all work! Pretty cool stuff.

    A little sneak peak of the bumper Brandon over ScarFab is building for me! He's a pretty popular fabricator on this sight, built his MJ with the 3.3 Cummins. Features: - Hidden winch - Recessed fair lead - Baja Designs rear facing lights - Recessed receiver - integrated 7 pin trailer plug - Bottle opener in the shackle mounts I'm pretty excited for this bumper. He is hoping to have it finished here relatively soon!
