For a beginner doing hobby design, Fusion 360 is hard to beat. I have been 3D printing for almost a decade now, been designing for even longer.

Project “Tomahawk”

My AX15 was fine to 500WHP. My vote is for a supercharger, with a stockish cam. Premium fuel, stock like drive ability with a ton of power. A big cam, or heads means less drivability typically. Premium fuel, lose some drivability for only somewhat more power.. Your stock valvetrain with some springs and trunnions will be fine to 7000RPM. Take it from me, whose done all the different combos and now is building a daily supercharged truck with a small cam. Selling all the big cam and turbo trucks I have built. -
Back in the workshop, not sure how much Ill get done since I may be moving in the next few months, but its here for now.

Updated listing, NLA unfortunately -

Mainly brackets, but sliders don’t hurt to have just in case

It my little gauge project wrapped up for the time being. Undecided if I'm going to use all gauges, or some form of digital gauge system. But either way I’ve got the geometry nailed down on the fitment and mounting, adjusting the inside contents is easy to finish later. The white plastic is just cheap prototyping stuff.

Probably the same kit I went with from ICT. If so, the power steering pulley will be too close to the fitting on the steering gearbox. Dirty Dingo makes a smaller pulleys that works great. Also the OEM steering reservoir will need some creative mounting, I flattened the bracket and squeezed it in the same area just rotated. This photo is old and has different belt routing, but you see what I mean about the steering pulley.

I am doing a rebuild on my Comanche and have a few specific parts in mind: -3 Piece slider window (Do not want 4 piece) -Vinyl Floor without tears -Seat Brackets (may get new ones if needed) -Set of 4 or 5 Turbine rims -OEM rear bumper would be cool if you have a dent/rust free one.

Engine Cooling - Master Thread

I don't, but I'm just cheap in that sense, I'm sure some form of chemical would help even more, Maybe Vinegar or some lightweight acid. -
Engine Cooling - Master Thread
Comanche SS replied to ghetdjc320's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
99% of the 20+ XJ/MJ's ive owned have had much better cooling performance for less than $40... If you wash/backwash/wash the radiator, engine, and heater core (all separately/individually so you don't move contaminents) then install a new fan clutch I can almost guarantee you'll have a cool running jeep. The amount of crud that comes out with the wash and backwashing of the system is really impressive. Then the fan clutch thats likely never been replaced makes a huge radiator efficiency difference. just my 2c, I do this service on every Jeep thats comes thru my possession and it almost always makes it run cooler/properly. Edit to add: The mech fan with a proper working fan clutch or grand cherokee clutch will almost always out perform an electric fan, or two. Always run the mech fan unless you can't for some reason.
