Comanche Chief - Aged to Perfection

New bushing up on the right side. Cheaper than the bearing that didn't fit. After I removed the washer fluid tank, I was able to remove the old clutch reservoir since the new 6 speed master/slave comes preblead. Old and new. The new one lacks a plunger so..? The new master is longer and has offset bolts so I'll be drilling the firewall after the plunger is figured out. I need to remove the brake booster and all to route the new lines to the slave and it will make it easier to drill out the firewall. Plus I needed a reason to upgrade the brakes... Hopefully a dodge 2500 system will fit and will be enough to stop the larger setup. -

Moved the transmission into place behind the engine and couldn't bolted in place. Removed the old clutch and eventually the pilot bearing which for the 87 appeared to just be a smooth piece of metal. http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/ae138/dayriesw/MJ%202016/A56AB7E2-C3B2-4394-8BFF-A1662169691F_zpsnwxajfnm.jpg[/img] Top to bottoms pilot bearings: new 05, the installed 87 and new 87. http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/ae138/dayriesw/MJ%202016/E2F9BD6A-DA1B-4267-82BD-1D299B8F166D_zps8glmuxxm.jpg[/img] I think I'll get the flywheel off the motor and maybe get it machined to fit with the 05 pilot bearing. I pressed the 05 one out of the sleeve it came installed in and it is .1" thinner then the old brass looking one. I decided that this is about how to make the crossmember. http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/ae138/dayriesw/MJ%202016/0E5C5635-4D23-4C78-A522-DA47123A5289_zps9sjygh9z.jpg[/img] I build the back two frame mounts and welded them in. http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/ae138/dayriesw/MJ%202016/0B9D2F09-233A-4C95-84F3-E82A3BB16892_zpsrbtjcvdq.jpg[/img] http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/ae138/dayriesw/MJ%202016/E3F7971B-86FB-43F7-A4D2-178DE4D2CD5D_zps0riasmoa.jpg[/img] -

Finally worked up to this... BM-10/5 CPS (sensor) to NSG370 fitting. This part of the demo is brought to you by Pizza. I made a template and transferred over the bolt hole measurements. After I drilled to two sensor mounts, I tapped them Then I used a bunch of different stuff to make the same hole on this case as the other. Measure twice then cut, sand and remeasure I will get the new sensor tomorrow but here is how it looks now -
I am swapping out the old 5 speed for a 6 speed. Can you help me figure out what I need to keep and not? I have found a few people who did this and one is saying to reuse all the remix stuff but swap it over to the 6 speed. Bm 6 speed Bm CPS I believe 6 speed. If there is a write up, let me know. Thanks guys.

Finally got that fn(king upper trans bolt out. An inverted torx with a rusted head... I ended up just cutting it off and there is enough stud to put some vice grips on to removed. The next plan to get the newer trans to talk to another one is what AW12345 suggested that his friend did in his YJ I believe. Basically cutting the bell housing off around the 2 bolts (at the 10 oclock position and the bolt I cut the head off), the bolting it to the newer trans and tracing the template. Then cut and mount the old sensor and all there. I am told I can't use a sensor for the new nsg370 since it won't talk to the 87 computer, so we have to go the other way. After I removed it all, I cleaned up and reorganized. And had a beer. -

What shop? Haha. I wish that was ride height. That is about an 1 or so from bump and hopefully about 3" below ride height. I will still have to trim but that was expected. Removed the stock starter, anti sway bar, steering box and part of the bolt on trackbar. I'm getting ready for the frame plate which are coming in next week. Depending on how it all works out, I'm thinking about using ballistic adjustable frame coil mounts and ruff stuff specialities' 3 link kit. I think if it works out a JK forward steering box. I have a TJ specific front antirock too. It will go on the axle or be used for the 8274 mount maybe, just depends on space. -

Mine too now. Body will sit about 2" higher when the wheel and tires are mounted. This is if I were to run some wheel spacers so the wheels will be a bit more inboard than this. I need to order some wheels... -

I had to reattach the rear axle to free up a jackstand to pull the trans and transfer case. The rear axle is just double coated with primer for now. Looks like I only lost about 1.5-2" of wheelbase based on eye balling it on the bed side opening. Started with this. I took all this out and the 231 linkage and shifter for the BM. I remove some of the trans mounting bolts but couldn't get them all out. I've never seen a mechanical speedo gear. According to Novak, I have to reuse the tail housing that stores this and reinstall on the D300
