    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    It's gonna get one. Not sure it it'll be on cc though. I already started the upgrades Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

    Another upgrade of sorts happened. The silver Grand cherokee is showing signs of wear after over 25k miles in the year I owned it. So I opened Craigslist and found my next victim. It's a 2006 LJ with 85,000 miles and already has some upgrades: lights, cheap lift, 33's, bumpers, etc. I already have ordered new metal fenders and a few other small things for the LJ It's gonna be the new daily so I went ahead and swapped the All terrains onto it and the Mud Terrains onto the MJ since it is the fun truck, and to me the MJ looks killer now. It looks correct and how it always should have looked. The MJ also is getting a new battery and gonna finally start driving it more now that life is calming down a bit more I can button up the loose ends. The LJ will be the summer jeep and the MJ for the cold, wet, snowy days. (it'll stay far from any rust inhibitors though) But, now I Finally own my two dream jeeps, there is only one more model I want to check of my list which is a FSJ either a 2-door cherokee or a J-20 but those are for the future, not anytime soon.

    Over the last weekend I installed my new Metalcloak Trac bar. I looked at a few options but chose this for a couple specific reasons. 1- Its SOLID Chromoly, 4130 bar. most companies use tube and DOM at that. 2-its setup for LCOG moreso than other brands 3- The heim is gonna wear out and I can install a Johnny joint or some sort of rebuild able joint when it does go out. 4- Larger hardware on both ends and lastly it just rounds out the build since all the other suspension arms are Metalcloak as well, it will all play together properly. Also quickly threw in a new stereo but didnt get photos of that. Some of you might recall I made a relay/fuse box awhile back, I installed that and am in the process of wiring it up. The Fans will each have there own relay based on the thermostatic sensor within the REM Scan tool and will turn on individually. The Amplifier will also have its own relay, and I'm looking into its amp draw to see if it can use the new relay box or need a standalone. I will also have 2 or 3 open accessory positions in the new relay box. The truck runs great, I am slowly tieing up all the loose ends from the engine swap. The battery went kaput during the process so itll need a new one of those and I will beinstalling a master disconnect on it as well. Pics to follow Enjoy my first ever Xmas Ornament in my first place on my own!

    Got the new engine in and running, through the process the plan was simple refresh and upgrade where needed. So, all gaskets and seals were done, timing chain, new failsafe t stat, Stant 16lb pressure release rad cap, spectra open radiator, new Heater hoses, Hesco WP, new plugs, wires, dist cap n rotor, oil filter adapter bolt, belt, clutch, flywheel, shifter bushings, and tons of cleaning. I did and am in process of wiring up the dual stock e-fans which should keep up well enough for what I plan to do, Muffler was busted so need to replace that, clean up the engine bay little more and I noticed a small oil leak so finding where that is and resolving it. A small bonus was the new engine was already setup with a removed AC pump and the alternator was brought up high. I never wanted AC in this truck and just had the compressor there on the old engine cause finding an AC bypass pulley is not easy. So it was a nice bonus and upgrade that fit right in with what I was doing. It is running really well and smooth though, the old engine was definitely tired and this engine seems very happy in its new home. Once I fix the last few things Ill take it on a road trip through my local mountains to prove I can drive it reliably after owning it for nearly two years and never having left town with it. For those wondering...the 87-90 4cyl coolant reservoir was a great option. Just had to move the fuel pump resistor and little vacuum sensor to a new existing hole nearby, no wiring or hose modification at all. Fit and finish is factory, for 14$ well worth it over some universal bottle that stands out like a sore thumb. Pictures to follow.

    Yeah I was lucky enough to have one. Was a good investment but inevitably removed it. Its an awesome trans for what it is, in a car. Didn't do wonderful off road where a truck transmission shines more Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

    If you have any questions about the 4x4 rsg tr6060 I had one in my last Comanche. Was badass. If you can afford it... Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
