i got the kit but the internal slave fittings are different. won't hook up out the box. the mechanic that ordered it for me is retrofitting something on there now to make it work. tired of this thing just sitting in the yard.

so waitin on good weather and my new clutch kit to come in to finish this tranny swap. needed a new internal slave for the trans and the thing is close to $160 from the auto parts store by itself which is just stupid. i got a sachs clutch kit, with the pressure plate, pinion gear, slave, and alignment tool for $186. gonna try to keep my master cylinder but I'm having a hard time getting the slave lines to come off. any tips on getting the quick disconnect thing to work right? its stuck.

we need to go ahead and get that hot wheels banner on this truck somehow

lookin good

damn. wish i had black interior

where did those spiffy tails come from?

Sincerely, Lisa Customer Service Representative Chrysler Customer Assistance Center and got the new trans cleaned up a little

thats one kick @$$ MJ for a thousand bucks

i got the tranny out finally oil pan off, painted, and a new gasket on there replaced the rear main seal, got the new back in and sealed up, used this site as a guide http://www.jeepin.com/features/rearmain/ and my selection of nicely cleaned fasteners

so i didnt know the pwr steering mounts were different until i pulled mine off. really annoying, but i made it work. instead of trying to hunt down one the same as mine i just cut the 89' mount down to mirror the 92' one. used an angle grinder and just chopped it. don't know if it will damage the integrity of the mount over time or not, but theres no difference now between the two, other than the chopped part. and with the beat up fender off i started pulling the transmission yesterday with a buddy. have it all out, but the oil pan and the clutch. need to replace my main seal as well as it leaks like crazy.

OA welding is a little rough on thick metal, especialy if your welding thick to thin. Before you do anything i would take a couple pieces the same size and material of what i was going to weld and practice. then whe you actually go to weld everything keep plenty of vice grips around and a good welding hammer. it also really helps to get a good grinder with a cut off blade on it. if you mess up a weld just smoothe it out and go over it. also make sure you throw heat more toward the thicker metal if necesarry. oh! and of course good glasses are a must, and don't go too dark with the glasses. you need protection but you also need to see. number four or five is acceptable, not 9 or ten :thumbsup: yea definitely gonna practice. got the glasses and stuff. i figured if they welded battle ships together with gas during wwII then with the right stuff i can pull it off

build date is 10/91 tried to replace the power steering pump last night. got a used one out of a 89 comanche. only found out the mounting bracket was different after getting mine off, total pain in the @$$, now i got to find another bracket somewhere.

looks good. ive thought of doin the same

i pulled my front right fender today because its all chewed up. grill is broken too, and I'm not a big fan of the doors. anybody got any info on swapping out the front clip for a 97+ XJ set up? i can get one at the junkyard for kinda cheap.

very cool. looks great man. the paint on the under side is killer. id like to do mine, but its just gonna be covered in crap in a day.

so i do have the ax15 in there. picked one up from a junkyard for $150, super deal, don't think they really knew what it was worth.

so in reverse ill get a knocking/jerking noise. only in reverse, forward gears seem fine. dude i got it from told me it had a BA 10/5 in it, but... i checked online and then compared and i actually have the an AX tranny. is there anyway to tell the difference from the AX 5 and the 15? i can't find any real distinguishing characteristics. i would assume that because its a 92' and 4X4 that it is most likely the AX15, thats what it looks like, can't find a serial plate. the digits 10901276 are stamped on the bottom however? anybody know anything about that?

ive been looking for a small truck for a while now. already have an XJ and love it, so i thought id try a comanche out. found a guy about two hours from me with a 92' 4.0 HO, 5 speed, 4x4. he said its an eliminator, but I'm not sure. its lifted 3in on a crap set of 31s, but it runs, 4x4 works, and has a sticker on it good until 11/10. lots of little cosmetic stuff needs to be gone over, tranny is gonna have to be replaced, main seal leaks like crazy, rusty runners and floorboards, etc.... but it moves so I'm happy. got it for $600. id like to eventually clean it up, lift it some more, nothin crazy, just need a battle ready beater to move wood in and goof off on the property i live on. anything i do to it is gonna have to be cheap and it'll probably take me a while, but ill eventually get it cleaned up. here are some pics. and my 99' daily driver XJ for fun

jesus dude. this thing is gonna be huge.... and cost like a billion dollars.

where did you d ring mounts come from? remember what they ran?

thanks man. whats the build date on the driver door? bumper is mounted with the stock holes on the side of the frame and a bolt on each side on the bottom back of the frame. i can snap some pics if you'd like. pics would be cool, but don't go out of your way. mine doesnt have rear bumper on there and i want to build something something similar to yours. ive only got an oxy/act setup to weld with though, so i gotta practice some first, only used to welding smaller gauge stuff on bikes. build date on mine is 10/91. dude i got it from says its an eliminator but I'm waiting on the build sheet from chrysler to confirm, I'm not sure it is. 4.OL HO, 5spd, 4X4, shortbed.

wow wow wow. awesome MJ Wade. all the fab work is beautiful. seriously my favorite MJ. not too big, nothing stupid, just real clean and done well. i just picked a 92' up and this is my #1 inspiration right here. how is the rear bumper mounted?

truck looks good. love your 89' as well. how did you patch up the rust in the floorboards?

looks great man. awesome job on the bumper.

lookin good. the bumpers XJ stuff?
