It is Wade's truck... IIRC, a friend of his was doing this to all his buddies rigs... Rob

Yep. Rob

Bo, senders for LWB's and SWB's in HO MJ's are the same. Rob :cheers:

Welcome back Paul! Did you happen to pull the VIN on that '92 for the registry? We just discovered a new member with the latest serial number '92... Always on the hunt for the last. Rob :cheers:

Could it have overheated really bad and melted the plastic, leaving only the metal frame? Rob :dunno:

So when can I own one? Here is all the info I have on the factory hidden winch: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f177/xj- ... h-1157054/ http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24496 http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/attachme ... page_2.jpg http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/attachme ... page_4.jpg This is the factory parts manual, check Figure 13, 900-1100. http://www.xjjeeps.com/com_xjjeeps/manu ... atalog.pdf Looks pretty cheesy, but factory none the less. Rob

We now return to our scheduled Comanche MJ programming. Happy April fools day gents, thanks for playing. Rob :cheers:

;) Rob

Friggen jerks. Rob L. :fs2:

I've never really needed any special adapters... I always just get by with whats included in the ball joint press kit. Rob L.

Who is the owner of the MJ now? Rob

As we always hear, "Don't know what took so long for your truck to be here." Well, be prepared to say it again... This month is no exception. Enjoy. :cheers: ---------APRIL 2011---COMANCHE COUNTY's 1989 PIONEER----------- MODEL AND YEAR 1989 Pioneer SWB 4x4 ENGINE & PERFORMANCE:It still has the Stock 4.0 that has somewhere around 210,000 miles and still runs great. I rebuilt the cylinder head at 181K, that's only work that's been done to the engine. DRIVETRAIN: It has front and rear Dana 44s. Both have Dana 4.56 gear sets and ARB air lockers and were sourced by scrounging CL. The front is a first generation Dynatrac High Pinion 44 I found in Atlanta, the rear is an original MJ D44 I found in Fort Worth. It has seen several transfer cases but currently has a NP241J with the 4:1 low range and built in SYE, found it in San Antonio. This transfer case might be my favorite part of the drivetrain. Driveshafts are both custom lengths. COOLING: Stock closed system and works like a champ, but does get a little warm in the summer in traffic, but its never overheated. I'll probably convert it to an open system this summer. ELECTRICAL & IGNITION:All stock. STEERING: I installed a Down East High Steer kit with a one ton drag link, tie rod and one ton TREs. The pitman arm is stock. I think it's the angles that make this system really easy to steer, I can turn the steering wheel with one finger. SUSPENSION: I think its got somewhere around 7-8" of lift. The front coils are Motion's 6.5" progressive rate coils underneath JKS ACOS spacers with 4" bump stops. Shocks are Pro-comp. The control arms are Rock Krawlers Long Arms. Specifically just their long arm upgrade kit. I really like these, they're beefy, the brackets bolt to the frame rails and don't require a new crossmember so I can still access the transmission. The rear suspension consists of an MJ spring pack with an extra MJ main leaf with a bolt on SOA kit. Shocks are from Motion. INTERIOR: Stock Buckets and full console. I've got a 4 point cage that came out of a Toyota that is currently bolted it but I'll be welding it in soon. I've got an old Alpine CD player, a sony 600 watt amp, two 4.5" Polk audio full range speakers in the doors and two MTX 10" subs behind the seats. Its got to be loud because I lost some hearing in Iraq, then also its really loud going down the road because I am currently using my Comanche Club magnet as a headliner. BRAKES: Braking system is stock, except for the Booster. I swapped in a WJ booster from a 99 Grand. This made a huge difference in braking. For safety's sake everyone should do this mod especially if you're running larger tires. LIGHTING:Umm, all stock, and my interior lights work! WHEELS/TIRES:Currently I'm running two sets of 35" tires. My street meats are Dick Cepek Fun Country IIs, and the offroad shoes are 35" Maxxis Creepy Crawler Bias ply tires. The Creepies are a seriously beefy tire, I can run them with hardly any psi. I highly recommend Creepies if you want a loud rough ride, poor MPG, and an essentially indestructible off road tire. MISCELLANEOUS:Future Mods include an OBA system powered by a York compressor with two tanks, in the bed and using the JCR rear bumper as a tank. This truck didn't come with the A/C option so it's got the A/C delete pulley, perfect place for a York. Other plans include an On board welder, integral through the cab cage/roll bar, and some old XJ limited leather seats if I can ever find some good ones. I've come to accept that I need to do some major fender trimming too. Best MJ storyThere's lots....the time I ran out of gas 3 miles from the nearest station during a Colorado snowstorm, the time I got both the MJ and the XJ stuck trying to plow out my driveway, but my favorite is my very first experience with an MJ. I was 15 or 16 and three of us went deer hunting in my friend's, Dad's brand new Comanche. We got it stuck, then unstuck, then we starting target shooting resting our elbows the hood. So were were lined up there, plinking away and my buddy Brian was shooting his new .243 and the muzzle blast ripped a huge hole in the hood. Of course we panicked and cooked up a story that some other hunters must have shot it while we were in the woods. What owner loves best about CCEveryone is cool, very little personal attacks which really turns me off other sites. For the most part I have to give official "Good Dude" status everyone on here. Plus you're all a bunch of crazies with the same affliction I have. There seems to be no medication for this thing I call "JOCD". I mean come on....its a truck and its a Jeep, what more could you want! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jay, let me be the first to congratulate you on a very nice MJ. I know many of our very own members look up to it as one of the ones to beat, or become. The first time I saw those plow lights I couldn't stop laughing, but I had a feeling you sort of meant it to look like feelers on a slug. Your build thread is very good, and you are sure to take LOTS of pictures, even just showing the difference in a small part. Makes it very enjoyable to read, and easy to follow. This MJ has grown, and we've been able to watch it evolve. Even facing tough times after coming back from Iraq, it still couldn't keep you down, and away from the MJ. Its bigger and badder than ever, with no sight of stopping anytime soon. Congratulations on your MJOTM! Rob L. :cheers:

Put it to work... Picked up some lumber for the MJ couch. Rob L.

'Tis why there are surplus sale toughbooks. 2nd year in a row I bought one, $45 each time at auction... Touchscreen, fully rugged, backlit rubber waterproof keyboard, all the goodies. Built to take anything, so the hot/cold dusty garage is nothing. I use mine for running CC while I am out there, and have some CPU speakers ran to it for Pandora. No CD drive, so I just jump drived all the FSM's onto it. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=25558 Its a bit slow, but the price was right, and it gets the job done. Rob L.

Please keep me in mind if you ever decide to sell. I'll call the dealer with your VIN tomorrow and check the day. Please enter your truck into our registry for us to keep track of the last few survivors. Rob L. :cheers:

All in the hands of Pete and Ben now... I am only a watcher too. Ben has done all the talking to the guy, and Pete is accomplishing the rescue. I'm just here for moral support and funding. Rob :D

Serial number shows that you are the latest build MJ among those registered here. Congratulations. There is a 5-3-92 I've ran, and he's a member, but its not in our system. Its a keeper... Might want to keep it whole. You are 2nd to last known. Rob L.

Being that the build is that late, do you have the VIN handy? Even the last 6 digits will tell us where you fall. Rob L.

Nice truck, whats the build date on the drivers door? Rob L. :cheers:

Not a factory bar. Rob

Never a good day. Sorry to hear that. Rob

He has many alternate versions of it too. Rob L.

Thats a member's photochop. Rob L.

My uncle had a front and rear plate on his vehicles he's get a low profile key and put the screw that bolts into your plate through it and put it on as you were putting tags on. Anytime u need it get a screw driver or a penny and you got a key! :D I like that one. Rob
