89 MJ

And for anyone who missed it, here is his MJ as MJotM!

I hope so too... (hint, hint)

I have a 3in lift in the front to make it sit level and 31s.

I’m also in high school and 15! I have had mine for about a year and a half and I have paid for everything on it, it appears you are in a similar boat as me. I restored it over the last two years. Here is a pic of mine:

Nice rig! What are you long term plans with it? For now, I would just drive it.

Did you possibly click the “sign in anonymously” button when signing in?

What did you use to adapt the AX15 to the 5.3?

The guy with the grey ghost build.

He’s gotta be. That how he was able to post this.

@cruiser54 might have some. He was just selling off some parts.

NOVEMBER 2019 Pirate_Staz's 86 Comanche "Graham Cracker" Congratulations, pal! This has been a fun build to follow! Build Thread: YEAR/MODEL ● 1986 Comanche X 4wd Longbed ENGINE/PERFORMANCE ● 1996 XJ 4.0L HO 6cyl swap DRIVETRAIN ● AX15 (5-speed) Manual Transmission and NP231J T-case ('96 XJ swap) COOLING ● Stock '96 XJ cooling setup with a newer electric fan and fan clutch. ELECTRICAL/IGNITION ● 1996 XJ harness (I need to re-do this soon) SUSPENSION/STEERING ● Lifted about 4.5 inches using pro-comp shocks/coils. Added a leaf in the rear but it didn't match the front still so I kept the add-a-leaf for arch and removed the bottom flat max-load spring and that did the trick. 1996 XJ steering column/box and steering wheel INTERIOR ● Original style, but not original interior. The OG was blue colored and had buckets. Currently its tan/black and has a bench seat. BRAKES ● Nothin special here, just more 1996 XJ parts LIGHTING ● @eaglescout526 will be handing over some Hella 550 lights for me to use soon but currently just stock headlights. I'm also looking at some truck-lite 5x7 LED headlights for future upgrades. EXTERIOR ● Repainted tan/beige as its a desert truck done by Maaco, its the highest end package so here's to hoping it lasts a few years before the clear coat starts to fade.The lower parts of the MJ are coated with bedliner, as well as most of the undercarriage as well. WHEELS/TIRES ● Rims: American Racing Matte Black Baja's 15x7" #1725765B. Tires: Pathfinder All-Terrain 31x10.50R15LT MISCELLANEOUS ● The Axles (Dana 30 front and Dana 35 rear) are out of the same 1996 XJ my engine/powertrain is from and the rear has a lunchbox locker. The XJ in question was a 2-door that rolled and ruined the body but all the internals were still good so they were re-used in place of the 4cyl my MJ had previously. Remember That One Time?... Tell Us Your Best MJ Story ● Honestly the day I got my Graham Cracker was enough for me to remember it forever. I had an MJ previously around age 16 or 17 that I loved, it was a 2-wheel drive one wheel peeler but id take it out with my buddies in the desert and wed just romp around and have a blast. Unfortunately I couldn't afford the gas on it as I drove too much and I ended up selling it for a stupid Honda Accord that blew up on me after a month of use. My Grandma (thank goodness for grandmas) had to bail me out and I drove an '02 Tacoma around on her dime for a few years, but every day Id be thinking about and missing my old Dusty Duchess. Finally I had paid my Grandma off and saved up enough money that I sold the perfectly fine (had just hit 100k) Tacoma and bought the MJ I have now. Some people hate coming out every morning and finding something new they need to fix on their vehicles but I missed the feeling so much and now appreciate these vehicles more than I ever have. I made myself a promise that no matter what comes my way I'm never selling my MJ again because I remember how much I regretted and missed my first one. So anyway thats my story on how Graham Cracker came into my hands and why I love Comanches so much! CC is Awesome!... Why Do You Think So? ● This place is great, ive met so many new people (both irl and online) through it that not only know more than I do, but have sent me parts that are otherwise impossible to find or helped me out on some tricky stuff. Its well moderated and everyone is really nice so id say its a perfect little MJ community.

What bad English? You did better than some Americans.

No. The springs are different lengths. You could just go spring over axle with the MJ springs and get about 4-6 inches of lift.

Dang!!!!!

Just subbed!

4.10s. That’s what I have in my truck and don’t regret it at all.

I would go with the 3.73s with the AMC 20 and get a different D30. It will make the engine not need to work as hard to turn those 31s.

Interesting center console

Is this accurate?!?

Ok. I’m in WI.

Where are you located. Mine will be coming out soon!

Put new front shocks in yesterday. Got my freshly rebuilt AX-15 picked up and I should be putting that and my new crank in soon.

Some of the lines aren't bad. Most of them are though.
