86MJX

well my dogs decided they like my tools i had sitting on the tail gate to do the breaks with so now i have to go get new tools :fs1: , but i will post progress pics tonight and one of the rear end and y i had to get a new one. till then ill be wrenching.

this is my 86 X 4x4 2.8 lb. it has 98k on motor and i got it for 200 but it needed a rear end. the day i got it the in side factory brush guard and toe hooks got the rear tires off randome of the brush guard the new d35 with 3.55s the parts gatherer/dd till the manche gets on the road I'm gonna start taking the old axle out and work on switching the breaks and get the new one in. any thing that yall think i shuld know just tell me. btw what do you think, did i get an ok deal?

well i found a d35 with 3.55 gears thanks reeser. gonn start working on getting the old one out and swaping breaks. i will post some pics tonight. but is there any thing yall think i shuld know? allso I'm looking for parts for the break valve thing i can't think of the name, but i still have the valve it self i just need the parts that go from the rear end to it so if any body is in the area and has one let me know. thanks john.

bump; i would like to see some to if any body has any

hey I'm new here and wanted to know if you wer around the rock hill area and if you wanted to meet up and do some wheeling some time,well once i get a rear end in, shoot me a pm if ya want to, the truck looks good btw. John

i don't know if it has any kind of lift but it fits 31x10.50 on 15x8s with out rub. its gonna be a dd/medeum trail rig a small 3in lift might go on l8er. i just want to find a rear end so i can get it on the road without having to change and set gears. cause 8mi to the gallon in my 77 J10 is pulling down my wallet.

yes it is 4wd the cover on the axle is the oval shape it must be te d35, i don't know much about the smaller axles all my fsjs have d44s. i did not want to have to mess with changing out gears that is why i just wanted to find a bolt in replacement.

hey all I'm new here but not to jeeps. i just got a 86 comanche X that is a gun mettel grey color,black bumpers, brush guard and red int, it has the 2.8 i think v6 and runs good, but i bought it broke, the po had done some thing to it and long story short the pinion gear in the rear end is wedged up against the ring gear. so i was going to go to the JY to try to find a new rear end i think its an 8.25. what shuld i look for that could have one in it. i will try to post some pics of the truck soon. any other tips would be great. thanks.
