Going to look at some Dana 60s this Friday, a d60 front with the artec truss already welded on and a 14 bolt rear both off an '05 f250 superduty. If these work out ill definitely be running 37s or maybe even 40s.

i saw, thats why i said its fine if they don't have em cause i can buy em off you haha

Looking for a LWB Sport Bar/Roll Bar, mounting brackets to go with it are helpful but not a necessity. Send me a message if youve got one and we can talk price!

anything thats bolt on and needs no welding makes me happy

Nothing big to really update on, I finally started buying suspension parts to get me to 9" of lift and hopefully rolling on 37's today. I also scored some MJ original chrome tow mirrors for 70$, I'm not sure if I'm going to put them on or not but I figured for the price it wasnt a bad thing to have on hand. My AC finally died right as summer started to kick off here in AZ and when I took it to get fixed (all it needed was a recharge) a line running from my heater core to the expansion valve cracked turning a 120$ freon refill job into a 1.2K "tear out the dash and replace the heater core" job which i quickly declined. I could probably replace the heater core myself but honestly i don't plan on dailying my truck anymore as I work from home now so it probably won't have AC for awhile, id rather use the money for other upgrades. Another note for those of you who might be looking to sell your MJ, theyre definitely up in value right now. Just for fun i posted mine for sale asking $8000 and sure enough I had several people offering at least 7k, and one guy who actually came to see it in person and offered 7500 cash. I turned him down of course but still I thought it was interesting as I paid only 4500$ for it in much better condition than it is right now haha.

Well like the title says its finally time to begin building out my truck to the offroader ive always wanted it to be. Today I ordered the IRO 3-link long-arm XJ/MJ kit and I plan on installing it as soon as it arrives. After that, here's the list of things I plan on buying to bring the rest of my truck up to speed: - Iron Rock Offroad 3-link (Currently en-route) - Rustys 4" MJ Leafs - Shackle Re-locators (already have) - Rustys MJ/XJ 8.5-9" Coils - Ruff Stuff 7/8" Heim High Steer - CavFab OTA Trackbar - Teraflex SYE kit + Adams Driveshaft combo - Dirtbound offroad long bed fender flare/body armor - Dirtbound Offroad long bed rear bumper side armor - Either 35's or 37's depending on how she sits after the lift - '05 SuperDuty D60 front axle (check) - '05 GM 14 Bolt rear (check) Theres lots more I'm sure I'm forgetting right now but I definitely plan on doing this right and sparing no expense. At the end of it all I hope to finally throw the cummins r2.8 in it so ill finally have a diesel manche. If you have any thoughts on where I should go with this let me hear em! I plan on taking lots of photos as well the more I add on. The tricky part is going to be the SYE kit for sure but thats why we have youtube!

I'll just make @eaglescout526 do it and then buy him lunch

well noones said anything bad yet, just that I might be able to find it slightly cheaper on rock auto. Looks like its not a bad idea to go with though if rock auto runs out of stock or something!

ALRIGHT YALL so a few things, my CEL does actually work and comes on when something isnt working as it should. How would I know this? Because I did what @OldManComanche said to do and I unplugged my speed sensor on the way home from work. Wouldnt ya know it the problem has dissapeared COMPLETELY. No stuttering, bogging, misfiring nothing nada zip. I can drive it in 5th gear at 3k rpms for extended periods, I can hit 4k in low gears (not that I normally do but I just wanted to let her breathe for once) and the problem seems to be all but cured. I had @eaglescout526 order me a new speed sensor and I'm gonna order a new gear and in a perfect world this will be the end of my issues. If for some reason plugging the new one in DOESNT work, I feel like now we finally know where to look. This has been a problem for a loooooong time now and I feel like its finally coming to a head

So I found this recently: https://www.factoryinteriors.com/wn-product/1986-1992-jeep-comanche-carpet-replacement-mj-cutpile-complete-fits-regular-cab-full-floor-168954/ and I was curious what your guys' opinion on it was. Does it sound too good to be true? Is it a good deal? Ive just never heard of this company but I need some carpet or a vinyl floor (right now i have nothing) and this seems like the way to go for the price.

We gotta work on your photo taking lol, here's what I took. (Although mine ain't much better it was kinda cramped)

Ill try this tomorrow after I get home from work and let you know. As for the diagram @JMO413 sent thats an AW4, I have the AX-15, will that matter too much or does that diagram still correlate to what I have? @eaglescout526 and I are going in about 2 weeks to the salvage yard where I plan on grabbing as much electrical as I can and just start rebuilding. Might even grab a spare ECU and see if its mine thats the problem.

its electric, no cable. Ive consiered unhooking it but A) don't know how B) wasnt sure if itd mess with anything else. It does it in any gear which why I though it was a speed sensor. This is probably what I need to do but I don't even know where to start/what harness to order/ or if I'm even capable of such a feat. Plus this is my daily for now so id need to do it all in one weekend

You assume the previous owner of my comanche hasnt already hacked it up and combined it with an XJ harness resulting in tons of electrical issues lol. That kit you linked may be the answer to my problem!

I'm reviving this thread again because i'm somehow closer to figuring out the issue and still just as far away from fixing it. I have done everything I can think of, I got so fed up that it was still doing it after all these months that I finally caved and took it into the shop (Christian Brothers Automotive). They had my truck for 3 whole days and came back to me with the following report: "We have found that the computers in the truck think it is going 200mph when it is warm. We are trying to determine the source of the incorrect speed reading, this would cause the speed limiter to engage and cut out the power." After this all they basically did was unplug everything, clean it, plug it back in and see if that changed anything. They said they drove it for 40 miles without the problem popping back up and the speedometer needle no longer bounced around and was stably reading the speed so that night I picked up my truck. They werent confident it would be that easy so they didnt charge me yet and asked me to drive it around for a few days. The next day I drove about 70 miles (i work really far from home) with no issues but 5 miles from my house the issue popped back up. same as always, speedo needle jumping around, go over 2500rpms and lose power on and off. I called the shop back and took it in for another day. At the end of that day they called me and said its going to take some time since my ECU isnt original and the codes its throwing arent related to my vehicle since parts of the harness are missing due to the fact that my drivetrain was swapped with a 96 cherokee and with this issue they would need to keep the truck for about a week. Besides the labor costs that wasnt something I wanted to do so I said forget it and asked him what his recommendation on what to do was. He basically told me that the only way to go about fixing this is to 1.) replace the entire harness with something custom built for my frankensteined truck, and then 2.) start replacing parts until the problem goes away. So I guess thats where I'm at right now. Still have this issue, sorta know whats causing it, but in the end back to square one. On the bright side the shop didnt charge me since they didn't fix anything so that was nice. If anyone knows where I can get a custom harness for my 86 comanche with 96 grand cherokee parts I'm all ears lol. The shop recommended i email painless wiring which I did but still haven't heard back. I love my truck dearly but this issue really has me at my wits ends and makes me resent the previous owner for doing a swap half-a$$ed haha (and also myself for buying a swapped vehicle)

I really need to start updating this with everything @eaglescout526 and I have done to it but gosh darn I am just lazy and always forget. Some good news though, I passed emissions! I'm not entirely sure why but when they tested me all they did was test my gas cap and idle it for about 45 seconds. I think they were under the impression I had a full time 4x4 (awd?) and wouldnt be able to run it on the dyno but hey I'm not complaining. Ive got some more pictures from various camping trips ive taken recently and some updates on small parts here and there ive fixed/upgraded as well so Ill be sure to include pictures of those as well.

I'm in the same boat as you lol, previous owner basically put a comanche and cherokee harness together and now I'm fighting electrical problems galore. If anyone knows how to rectify this I'm all ears. I emailed painless wiring about them making me a custom harness but havent heard back yet.

I'm usually free on weekends I'm sure eaglescout will keep me posted!

He already tried to trade trucks with me so he could work on fixing all the stuff on mine lol

Yessir hello there

Yup theres people all the time who drive with those lights on (mostly lifted trucks that don't know what theyre doing) But I'm still smart enough to only use em when I'm camping or on the interstate. Along with that the tint laws here are pretty lax as well. The church I used to work for had an officer on campus during services and so I asked him about tint once because my Tacoma was "more than the legal limit" and he said they really don't stop anyone specifically for tint since the sun is so bright around here but if you get pulled over for speeding or something it can be something they decide to hit you for if youre just being a jerk to them about the situation.

heyy glad you made your way over here! (I'm the guy from reddit who directed you here lol)

I'm pretty sure this isnt even a MJ specific thing it's just jeeps in general:

WHOO!!! ya finally made it!!! If anyone deserves it it's you, you care so much about your truck and put so much effort into keeping it stock it's crazy. (A good crazy)

Pretty much this, I only plan on using them when I'm camping or offroading at night. I think I won't worry about the switch right now and just have it wired so that they come on with my highbeams as the only time I would have those on is if I'm doing the previously stated activities. After following the leads from the switch in my dash down to the fuse box it looks like the terminal was never installed or removed so I think if I want power to that switch Ill have to figure out how to get all that back. No big deal in the end my truck is in need of rewiring badly so maybe once I get around to that Ill fix it.
