I can get the weld out, but then, what do i do? I tried getting the weld out with the torch and it worked good but I'm left with an ugly deformed hole. I saw some guys just put a nut down in there too.

So a while ago I stripped the highest bolt on the diff so I drilled out the hole and tap in a bigger bolt. Well this weekend I didn't like how it looked becuase it was kind of crooked and looked like it didn't go all the way in. so I drilled the hole a little deeper and put new threads in. Well the tap snapped off it there. I've tapped many things before and never had a problem like that. After countless runs to the hardware store, I ended up having to blow it out with the acetylene torch. The whole was then messy from the torch so I heated the housing up to 400 degrees and welded up The hole. Then I started to drill a new hole but my bits wouldn't have it. I then called the shop and they said that it's too hard to drill and they can't do It. What should I do? The guys at the hardware store thought it'd be ok to do that. Should I just load a lot of rtv in there? Thanks and it seems like I'm always making retarded mistakes

When I did my swap I had to move the cross member back a few inches so it would fit where those other holes are and then I drilled and tapped new threads into the holes. Then I threaded in some bolts and it's worked great so far.

I love these. I wish I had the money http://bellingham.craigslist.org/cto/5290443818.html

What is that black stuff you used around the edges of the bed after you cut them?

Will 1/4 be enough for mounting tabs or should I go with 3/8?

Ya I'm going to work on it so more and add some tie ones and mock up the frame mounts

I just made this on sketch up. First time 3d modeling. The dimensions aren't perfect but this is what i want to build. I'm trying to keep my truck nice and protected without going full on cage and stuff like that. Any body have any ideas about this? thanks [/url]">http:// [/url]">http://http://s1148.photobucket.com/user/Jackrabbit123/media/IMG_4704_zpsq1oeqrkz.jpg.html'>

Ya I might need ya, just need to find the money for the last 2 shocks then i got everything. Also, tonight I started messing around with Sketch 3d, a 3d modeling program and started build a rear bumper on it, but then discovered that I can look at other peoples projects and I found and downloaded a couple comanches. Pretty cool never done this before.

No, but luckily the shop fixed it for free, so i got new spiders for free! I guess it ended out ok for me

Thanks I'll let him know

Also, mine from napa was about 97$ or so but i did have a small tax discount form work

Just get a pre bled master and slave complete assembly out of the year that that tranny came out of. Thats what i did and had no problems what so ever

I talked to him again and he told me that theres lift blocks in the front. Thats bad isn't it? he also says the leaf spring shackles look like 2 drunk buddies threw them together. lol

I just talked to my uncle and he's pretty sure someone swapped in the chevy 4.3 v6 an days theres a lot of tacky/half @$$ work.

So I just got a call from my uncle and he owns a RV and Mobile home park in Mesquite, NV (lives in OR though most of the time) and one of his residents couldn't pay their rent so they gave him their 87 Wrangler YJ. It has a v6 and a 5 speed and a posi, is that stock? Has BFG mud terrains and some sort of lift. He thought it had a locker, but it just has the cable actuated CAD, as do i in my comanche. He likes it other then it's drivability. It has leafs on all corner. It has power steering too. What he wanted to know (I'm just helping him out) is how can he make this thing better to drive. I told him he could do a coil spring conversion and he's willing to drop 2000 on it. He has a full time mechanic who can do everything so labor isn't a problem. He's had plenty of jeeps in his day so he's not new, but he just doesn't know much about this and wants to make it easier to drive. Any suggestions on what to do? here's some pics: [/url]"> http:// [/url]">http://http://s1148.photobucket.com/user/Jackrabbit123/media/IMG_4692_zpsqqou1gsx.jpg.html'>

Just get this: http://macsradiatorshop.com/surge-overflow-tanks/replacment-jeep-radiator-fill-tanks-366.html I fixed everything in my cooling system and it still overheated until I got one of those aluminum tanks.

So I'm in my garage waiting for my cousin to help here with her car because her car leaks coolant like a sieve, and i noticed one of the spider gears is all chewed up in the HP30. Well they didn't remember to fix them, so i gotta take it back to them tomorrow. I specifically told them to fix them. The carrier i brought them had spider gears they were/still are all chewed up and I knew that and told them. It was obvious, they should've noticed as they are a PROFESSIONAL shop. It just pisses me off because they don't write anything down. They forgot my phone number now this. wtf... and... they left a rivet in the diff. This thing was sizable, could've done some damage.

So I ordered my shocks last week and for some reason I only ordered 1 rear and 1 front thinking that they came in pairs. :doh: I don't know why I thought that. I'm just pissed cause I spent my money some other stuff so now i can't do the swap this weekend. I was all excited to finally start but i guess I'm going to have to wait even longer. If anyone wants to buy by 1 front and 1 rear, I won't complain.... :banana: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009FU6PWI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004WO12LQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 here's a pic of a new PCV valve I drilled and tapped into the diff.

Are you going to leave it just metal or put something on/over it?

What are you going to do on the floor?

Looks good!

I got mine at napa

Now you're on the right track. But there should already be a hose in your engine compartment for venting the front differential. It should come up on the driver's side, somewhere in the vicinity of the brake booster. It'll be black, with a white nylon thingie in the upper end. Thanks I'll look for that

Ya I'm going to go get a smaller one.
