Do the vents behind the doors on MJs have a purpose? Thanks, Chad

Shew, thats a relief. Thanks for the info. I was just worried because in my chilton manual it states that if there is "noise" in 4lo only, the t-case needs replaced. It does sound like going in reverse fast. Thats a great example. I guess chilton must be referring to another "noise". Thanks again for the help, very informative. Regards, Chad

I noticed today that when I put my truck (86 model with 207 transfer case) in 4low it sounds alot different than 2hi and 4hi. It is much louder and makes kind of a whinney noise (I know thats a bad description). 4hi sounds just like 2hi. Does this mean I should start shopping for a new t-case? I checked the fluid and its full and recently changed. Thanks, Chad

This is kinda related to my other post about tires. I'll be blunt... My truck rides like @$$. At about 45mph it sounds like a gasoline truck going through hell. There is so much vibration from the front end my keys constantly rattle, driving me nuts. I know a lot of the problem has to do with the studded mud tires that came on the truck. Those are being replaced with some allterrains. I figured I'd take care of the front end now so I can stand to drive it, then do a lift next summer. My question is...Where is a good place to get the bushings for this truck? Is there a place that sells a complete set, or do I have to go piece by piece? A couple sites I went on asked for the diameter of the sway bar. Does anyone know what that would be for a 86 model? I planned on getting a new steering stabilizer too. Any particular brand better that another? Thanks for the advice, Chad

I'd like to know whats the biggest tire that will fit on a stock height comanche for street use. I don't intend on any major (or even moderate) offroading. I just don't want tire rubbing at every turn on the street. Oh yea, I'll be getting new 15x8 wheels too. What backspacing is best for clearence? I had origionally planned on a 3" lift and 31s. But the lift is gonna have to wait. The more I read on here the more I realize that if I want to do a lift the right way, I'm gonna need more money and time. I don't want to half @$$ it, but I NEED new tires soon. Thanks for the help, Chad
