I finally have some spare cash to replace the fuel system (truck has been sitting in my driveway for close to 2 years). How much fuel line should I get? What size/sizes? Any particular brand I should get? I'm thinking Wix fuel filter and I'm not 100% on fuel pump. Id like to go to the parts store today so all info will be appreciated.

What camper shell is this?

Lol you are right. I was wanting to put the moabs on my wifes 08KK. I might still do that since she has some major curb rash from a cop almost side swiping her while running code and pushing her off the road into the curb.

yeah I agree but I think the Pacers look more like truck wheels than the Rubicon wheels. Does anybody know if the Pacers are hub centric or lug centric?

I tried prepping/priming/painting some rust on my tailgate and there deff is a technique because i applied it too thick and i now have alot of runs. Oh well it was just for rust prevention anyway. I will sand/spray again when i have a nice day.

Good luck, hopefully its just a freeze plug. Got a pic of the leaking area? Also please try to keep her running. I have read some oretty amazing builds that start out as some old junky farm truck. A parted out/junked comanche will be gone forever.

I have to get rid of one set of my wheels which ones should I keep? Set of 4 Pacers on decent 31x1050r15's that came with truck Set of 5 2006 jeep rubicon wheels with old bald street tires. Which do yall like most and which will fetch the most on the open market?

Thanks. You never know what you will find if you are looking.

It had some bucket seats in it when i bought it. I pulled them to address the rusty floor and they ended up sitting on the floor for months then thrown in a uhaul and driven like 3K miles. Come to find out the brackets had been swapped to xj seats and the move/tossing around has them all out of shape now :-(

I love it, so much skills! What is the actual name of the color on your truck? Is the hammered black rustoleum and what color/brand is the silver underhood parts? Your truck is an insperational build. All i need is time money and a jeep monkey to show me the way. Lol

Lol, thats the same photo i chopped that pic from. Theres a handful of dacotas at the junkyard in the right year range. won't hurt to check when i go. Thanks.

Can you post a pic of the bellhousing installed or atleast confirm if this looks right?

If i replace the comanche floorboards with cherokee floor boards, cherokee seats should bolt right in correct?

I am going to the junk yards in my area and i was wondering if anyone had any pics of the 2.5l Dodge Dakota AX-15 bellhousing. I did google it but I'm not sure if this is correct.

Damn unicorns!

Wow, holy resurrection thread! I am glad you bought her back. I enjoyed reading your build and was shocked to see you sold it! Looking forward to watching this rebuild!

Tank looks fine. No leaks. I think ill por-15 the outside as cheap insurance.

What years of dakotas can the ax-15-2.5l bell housing be found?

I know this is an old post but I was in a similar circumstance just yesterday. I have been scrounging around CL looking for a 2 door 2.5l 4x4 w/manual transmission XJ as a donor for my 2WD Comanche. I found one! Damn thing was toast! Every panel was rusted/bamged up, interior was ripped out except driver seat (i want the fold and tumble front seats) and the transmission and TC were destroyed because he decided to make a rock crawler out of it then gave up apparently after destroying all the good parts lol. The search continues!

Favorited on my phone. This should be emailed to all new members with your welcome aboard message lol.

10-4. I just live in the gulf coast of south Texas. 5 min from a Padre Island. So rust may eventually be a problem. Should I just por-15 the outside?

Yeah, 5 year old. She is a wild child but she likes to be a good helper when daddy is attempting to do anything with his truck. She wants me to paint it pink and put big tires on it lol. "Pink monster truck" I will soder it when i get it when i get some newer ones from the jy.

No not leaking, I mean it leaked when I pulled the fuel sending unit out... tank had close to 15 gallons in it and my driveway is on a pretty good slope lol. Luckily i happened to have a plastic storage bucket within arms reach to catch 90% of what leaked out. Then i siphoned out the rest of the tank. I plan on pulling the tank off Tuesday or Wednesday if the weather is as nice as it has beem the last couple of days. I just want to seal the fuel tank so i don't have to fool with it again.

Yeah i squeezed the hell out of the crimpers and i tugged on them to make sure they were in there good. Also yes i did expose fresh wires. The old crap job was so corroded! This is just a temporary fix. I was going to pull the entire back harness and replace all the wires/lightbulb housings but i couldnt figure out how to get it out of the grommet that runs through the frame. That and i had a give year old jumping in the bed of the truck...

I seriously feel like the Comanches rear bumpers were made out of aluminum foil. Finding one that is in pristine condition is like finding a unicorn! all the ones I see are freaking destroyed... Oh well lol, your truck looks bad @$$.
