  1. More progress and parts... Notice I am trying to make it easy installation utilizing the factory holes for track bar mounts...conveniently located on both sides of the frame due to the MJ/XJ being offered in both LHD & RHD. Although after bolting in...it will be welded.
  2. [emoji54] Still lots of work to do, but the process has begun Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
  3. My plan so far is trial and error since I don't think anyone has done exactly what I am shooting for before. I'll post my findings though so hopefully others can use it Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
  4. Got the front axle and suspension all out and started cleaning the frame from the years of road grime and leaks it used to have. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
  5. The front axle had it's last voyage under the jeep today. It's ready for tear down Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
  6. Got the remainder of my parts today. Some used deavers that I'll bastard pack with my current leaves to work in the mj. And the ttb third member. Doing a ton of research and reading getting ready for the swap. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
  7. Can I Nominate Myself? Going TTB and more...
  8. Some oddly shaped front axle(s) followed me home today... And tomorrow some oddly expensive leaf springs are supposedly going to follow me home too...
  9. Had to... Not bad for stock springs and whatnot Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
  10. I have the original bumper sitting in my garage, But eventually I want the area fan stubby bumper I had in my last xj. The outer parts come off and make it a stubby Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
  11. Thanks! It did really well today, accidently jumped it once, no major damage just some rubbing and a new stain in the seat... It does really well in the go fast stuff, needs shock work as well as bump stop work. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
  12. 4500HD... Couldn't even tell the trailer or comanche were back there, it was this or a 6500HD [emoji23] Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
  13. In over two years of ownership, it hasn't see a true day off road. That changes tomorrow, taking it to the dunes. Will hopefully get some photos! Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
  14. When installing I just make sure to get it square on there. And some light love taps with a BFH and it goes in far enough to grab the threads. Make sure to grab enough threads...I've pulled some threads before doing it that way Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
  15. Just a life update. My new king shepherd is a fan, already marked her territory in the bed. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
  16. All, please do yourself a favor during the open cooling swap and get a coolant reservoir from a 87-90 4cyl. Fits in factory position and is ready for open cooling setup. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

  19. Yep, it hasn't gone anywhere, it was sitting in a field the last year or two. With an engine only 20 miles since refresh. But I've got the means to slowly build a better setup for it. Hopefully more frequent updates from now on. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
  20. Well I bought my first house two weeks ago in southern California, moved my comanche into the garage for the first time, and ended up buying a 4.8 LS that turned out to be a 5.3, slowly but surely this will end up in the comanche with the ax15 behind it. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
  21. I'm sure I could find my old insurance, it would be a search though
  22. Maybe one day they'll get to it Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
