Hey uh, long time no see. I recently got a second wind to start chipping away at stuff. I just finished swapping in a correct crossmember for the AX-15. Got it off ebay, took it to work, sand blasted it and painted it. I've also started preping for floorboard work again [I'm dreading this process so much, but I need to conquer this hill]

I’ll post some pictures tomorrow morning!

So trying to get my dash back together and its a mess, I've got boxes and wiring harness hanging everywhere and I have no idea where it mounts, do any of you know of a write up that can help get me on track? I'm trying to clean my comanche up after sitting for almost a year

I got quoted 56 a month for liability

She’s back home from the hanger, finished putting the AX-15 in and drive it home. It drives and shift so much better. 11/10 upgrade would do again

Flipping 180 got it close enough! Thank you!

I’ve got my AX-15 in my Comanche but it isn’t lining up with the BA/10 hole in the floorboard, am I missing something here?

Well I’ve begun the process of swapping the transmissions, in that time frame I’ve also cut out and fitted the driver side floorboard, currently in the process of the passenger side!

In the middle of the photo where the two braces meet there are small black dots from the pitting after I’ve sandblasted it. Is that clean enough to paint over? Or is it still going to rust?

End of the week update, I didn't really get time to work on the comanche throughout the week, I did get to fiddle with it today. I've currently got the steering column apart to check those reverse torx bit bolts that holds the steering column and wheel tight. I want to make sure mine are tight and I want to lock-tite them as well, I have to wait for some tools to show up Tuesday to finish the job. Did some glancing over the vacuum lines because the comanche's idle is constantly dipping up and down. it seems that a lot of the tubing is secured into their receptacles via electrical tape, just another thing to add to the list...oh and of course all the wiring looks like a rats nest with random plugs just flopping about I also disconnected the firewall fuse box to try and start cleaning up the rust where fluid dripped through, I got a little bit done before I realized this might warrant taking the dash out , so I reconnected the firewall plug and snugged it down for a future day. Finding more rust always puts a damper on the mood, but on the bright side I did score an AX-15 for 150 bucks! the tail housing will have to be re-clocked but no big deal. The 3 top things for me right now are get the floorboards fixed, get her steering straight, and swap that transmission in.

The pictures would be nice!

Also the guy I bought the transmission from doesn’t know what it came out of, so it’s probably a large possibility it’s out of a wrangler

I’ve been using this write up as my basis for the swap

Ooo my apologies! I didn’t see your first reply. I’ll give it a shot(s)! thank you (:
