    Anyone have a link to the right o2 sensor for an 87 4.0 that they recommend? I can’t seen to find the right NTK for it.

    Hey! Along the same lines, I'm in need of a passenger side tail light cover. Anyone got one? Or maybe one of those 2 junkyard MJs have one?

    Where did you get the comanche plate for the front?

    I looked up the VIN. It is originally 4wd an originally manual. Still in that condition.

    Well, taking off the covers would require refilling and resealing the covers, which seems like more work than counting a different way.

    Next Task: Replace Steering Box

    Okay. I got the truck up tonight. Put it in 4wd, then taped a line on the wheels and side of truck. I blocked the two wheels on the passenger side, so that spinning the rear driver side would make the front drivers wheel spin too. I rotated the rear wheel one complete revolution, then observed the position of the front wheel. The front wheel had rotated 1 1/8 rotation. Conslusion: Different gear ratios. Some bozo must have replaced one of the axels and mixed it up. I'm surprised someone who knows how to swap and axel would make that mistake. Now I'm going to figure out the ratios. Anyone know what the ratio is supposed to be on the '87 4.0L longbed?

    To clarify: I've tried to put it in 4 wheel drive twice, both times in a dirt lot. I drove maybe 5 feet in a straight line and observed the described scenario. I didn't get a chance to get it all jacked up to see what it does in the air. Hopefully I'll have time Saturday. Keep the ideas rolling! I'll keep everyone updated when I can count the gears.

    It seems like the general consensus is the mis-matched gear ratio on here and among other people I've talked to. I'm going to get it up today to look at it. I'll let you all know what I find.

    I understand awd vs 4wd. It doesn't have lockers. It's an open diff. And the wheel isn't just rolling like a normal open diff would. It's stopped/going backwards.

    Hello everyone! I joined the Comanche Club last week when I purchased an '88 Comanche. She's a beauty. But I'm having an issue that I can't explain. When it's in 2wd, it goes great. But when I put it in 4wd, the rear driver side wheel seems to move slower than the rest, and just skids along. It almost looks like it is trying to go backwards. Everything that I can think of that would explain it, would also manifest in 2wd. So I'm super confused. Any thoughts?
