Hello, I am working on my Comanche project and looking for gears. I have the original Dana 30 front and a Dana 44 rear from an XJ. Does anyone know if the master install kits from a TJ will work? It says for 26 splines but the information I find, i believe the dana 30 is 27 spline and the dana 44 is 30 spline. I am looking to do 4.56 gears in it. I found this one from Yukon on Quadratec Yukon Gear & Axle Front & Rear Ring and Pinion with Master Install kits for Jeep Wrangler TJ with Dana 30 Front / Dana 44 Rear | Quadratec

Waiting for a friend to mount the other 3 tires. Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk

Well after a little mishap I took a few months off from working on the Comanche. It ended up falling off the jack stands on me. It missed me but I ended up taking a break. So a week or two ago I started back up. So far I was able to get the front end back together. I also ordered and put on a Rugged Ridge steering for it. Here is were it is now.

Something doesn't look right. I set the control arms at the length above from the chart. The axel looks to far back. I will have to look for another chart before I put the springs in. Sent from my FRD-L14 using Tapatalk

Started on the front today. Having problems getting the brake line off. But putting on the core 4x4 control arms. I have a board lagged bolted into my garage to hook a rachet stap or come along. I would like to say this is for pulling the axel when I put on control arms. That is not what it started out as. I needed it to pull the Jeeps into the garage when I brought them home broke.

I decided to start putting on the lift today. I wanted to put on the rear first, but it is just a few turns past hand tight. Started on the front but didn't get far. I should be able to get the front done this week and weld up the rear end. I ordered some ruff stuff shock mounts for the rear. Didn't care for the ones that came in the spring perch kit.

How the truck looks today. I hate body work and have been working on it for about 2 months now. Still a long way to go. It has the bumper on and 1 Napier flare. Working on the rest before paint.

Yes that is my Cherokee, I found that one sitting in a farmer's field a few years ago. Bought it for $300 and put it back on the road. My better half calls it the 10 thousand dollar jeep. I tried to explain that is only around 5 but she doesn't believe me. It is a crazy color, I haven't seen any others around with that paint.

I have worked on it here and there. I think so far I upgraded the radiator to the 96 version, replace the cluster with a tach cluster. But I started to work on the body to get it painted. It still needs a rear main seal, and the A/C needs fixed. I am thing upgrading it to the 96 version as well. I have a new diesel gas tank and XJ fuel pump. The gas gauge is stuck on empty. The parts I collected so far are almost all the lift for SOA. Cherokee Dana 44 New Spring perches and U bolts Front Blistein shocks for 6 inch lift Rubicon Express 5.5 lift springs (I may have bought the wrong ones and they may only be 4.5. If I did, then I will sell these and get Rusty's 6 inch springs) Rough country brake lines for the front Drop pitman arm Core 4x4 control arms Some off brand track bar Pro Comp 15x8 rims Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac 33 inch tires Front winch bumper and some stuff I am forgetting

The parts that I collected so far

So I bought a Comanche a year and half ago. I slowly started picking up parts for it here and there over this time. Here is a picture not long after I bought it.

And a water pump, but it could all be found at RV store. The water tank placement would take some creativity

I checked out AutoZone. The diesel is the A and the B is the gas. The sump is a round ring on the bottom of the tank. To help keep gas at the pickup. But it is also what interferes with XJ fuel pump and sending unit. I am not sure why the diesel does not need to keep the fuel around the pick and a gas does. Sent from my FRD-L14 using Tapatalk

Does anyone know which Spectra tank does not have the baffles in it? I seem to be having a hard time finding out which is the diesel tank. Spectra has JP5A and JP5B

Thank you. I was thinking 10 was too wide.

I have been piecing together an SOA lift, planning on running 33 inch tire. My question is what size rims it everyone running on 33x12.5x15? I have seen pics of the tire sizes but nothing really on what the rim width is. I would guess that a 10 inch wide rim will have more poke to it.

I would take any of the brake line that is left to the auto parts store and match it up. I believe it is all 3/16 line but I could be wrong on that.

For the sockets I used Crown Automotive 3764863. I am not sure anyone offers prime on them but these were the ones I bought, shop them out you may find a better price. The only thing I didn't really care for is the end with the wires is kind of open. So I used electrical tape to close it up. https://www.amazon.com/d/Automotive-Parking-Lights/Crown-Automotive-3764863-Parking-Assembly/B00B8X2G82/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1548254029&sr=8-1&keywords=crown+3764863

I had the same problem on mine, tried cleaning the sockets in the front and replacing the bulbs but still did not work correctly. So I ended up putting new sockets in and they work fine now. There was a metal socket that I picked up from amazon.

Southern Rod still has some of the euramtec. I just ordered some and it took 3 days to ship from FL to PA. https://www.southernrods.com/headlights-taillights--lighting/3-1-2-trick-interior-lighting.html

I recently bought an 88 comanche with an i6 an aw4 column shift. It came with parts for a cluster swap and I had another clusters. When I swapped in the new cluster the fuel gauge went to full and is stuck there. I tried cleaning the contacts and grounds but still had the problem. So I swapped in another fuel gauge from another cluster, same thing. Then tried the original, still stuck past full. I found a thread on here about removing the screws and turning the gauge and that didn't work either. Also found this one but no solution. Is there a fix? or is it some wiring gremlin that needs to be found?
