I have run a can of seafoam in my Eagle's 4.2 to try to clean it out some. I am also running it in one of my garden tractors. No issues to report here! The one thing to make sure you are aware of, though, is that it is thinner than the oil, so it will thin the oil out some. It will be a very minute difference, but it will still thin it out a tiny bit. It still will be fine for the engine.

@cruiser54, do you know this? You should also check out Cruiser 54's website on improving that ground.

Keep in mind that your wheelbase gets shorter as you lift it (unless going SOA) because with increased travel, the rear wheels must be pushed ahead so they won't come back into the bedside when flexed out. At least that's the reasoning for it that I heard.

Looks like it has an HO swap

The bored TB makes a huge difference in power. It wanted to spin quite a bit of 2nd gear.

Thank you! Do you have a bored TB on yours? If not, we should take this thing for a ride. I think you’ll be impressed.

Installed the bored TB and test drive it. HUGE difference!

I’d do a uhaul truck or the Suburban. That’s a lot of weight for a compact SUV to stop, IMHO.

The bored TB is going on. It’s a lot nicer than the old one. And some engine bay shots because I can.

April 2022- @keeponjeepinon’s Eliminator Build Thread- Year/Model - 1990 Jeep Comanche Eliminator Drivetrain- Renix 4.0, AW4, 4x4, just finished a swap to a 92 XJ D30 with 97+ shafts and a 01 Explorer 8.8 with 4.56 gears and a Truetrac in the rear, Yukon C-Clip eliminator axles, makes it 1" wider than the d35. Trans temp gauge added to the unused port on the transmission. Cooling- CSF 3 row radiator, open conversion, 2.5L reservoir added which required relocation of the fan relay, fuel pump resistor, and EGR solenoid. The CSF didn't have a bung for the temp switch, I'm using the REM to activate the fan now. Electrical/Ignition- Stock, done cruiser54's checklist, REM added Suspension/Steering- Metalcloak 4.5" coils and arms, Clayton track bar/frame mount, 97+ XJ drag link, V8 ZJ tie rod, General Spring Military Wrapped leaves, Clayton shackles, and Bilstein 5125 shocks Interior- Stock, mk5 VW Golf dome lights, 3d printed REM mount, 3d printed clock panel replacement with trans temp, USB charger, and a Ram mount. Brakes- Powerstop drilled/slotted discs w/ red calipers front and rear, LHSV deleted replaced by a Willwood proportioning valve, WJ master and booster. Lighting- JW Speaker LED headlights with heaters, ironically I quit driving it in the winter 1 season after I bought them, and now I'll be moving to San Diego in a few months. Hella 550 yellow fogs, interior lights replaced with LED except for dash lights. Exterior- I replaced all the rusty metal, a pro paint job was too expensive so I rolled Grrrabber Blue Monstaliner on it myself. It seems more similar to Chief Blue than Ford Grabber in person though, the GB paint pen I bought was slightly darker. The lower stripe is Gray Matter. Westin rear bumper Wheel & Tires- American Racing AR172 15x8 +20mm offset, equal to 5.25" backspace. Tire Rack is the only place I've seen them. BFG KO2 31x10.5s. I'll soon be going to 16s to get extra clearance with the dust boot on the tie rod, it's a little too close for comfort. Probably with 33s or 32s and AR62s as they look as close to the stock Eliminator wheels as I can find. Misc- Pacesetter headers and a Flowmaster muffler Best MJ story- Being the only person at the mini moto race who brought their race bike in a Comanche. The 1st time I went to Pitt Race after doing the bedliner there was an autocross going on at the same time as we (OMRL) were using the kart track and a big bike track day on the main track, so there was a bunch of people who came up wanting to look at it. CC is Awesome! Why? Good community and great knowledge base for a fairly rare truck. I had some less than stellar experiences on some of the JK forums. Also for finding ways to fix things that have discontinued parts. Congratulations! This is a great looking truck!

I have the wood grain dash bezel too.

Did you sell it or what’s happening with it?

@Pete M probably has a couple.

I’m glad I pulled mine from my parts truck. Not going to lie, I forgot I had it until this morning, but now I’m glad that I do.

Indeed it does, Pete! New front brakes are installed. I also had another piece that I had ordered show up. And yes, I took the picture of it on the kitchen counter.

I’d make sure to lay eyes on it in person first. But check out uship.com if you want to ship it.

It could be called a valance, air dam, and I’m sure others.

@cruiser54 would probably know the answer.

I drove mine to school today. That’s as close as it’s getting to off-road for a while at least.

Those fog light covers look fantastic! And the bezel looks great. Probably not many of them left, either.

How was the fit and finish of those front flares? It is seeming like that will have to be the route that I will go.

It’s out!!!

Everything but the TB and seat cover are here. I still have not been able to get the truck out of storage, but I am going to have to get it out and get it on the road by next Wednesday. I was really hoping I’d be able to do everything done before it hits the road, but it was voted by the senior class as the coolest car for the yearbook, so I have to get it to school for pictures. I’m pretty excited, though!

If it is what I think we all hope it is, this is going to be a game changer!

I’m in WI. I know of 3 other MJs in my county, but have only seen two of them. With my truck in winter storage, I’m doing good if I see an MJ once a week right now.
