  1. Are you still making these? I’d like a set.
  2. If either of you find one let me know.
  3. Anyone have a blue floor console they want to get rid of?
  4. Awesome thanks. Been wondering if this was possible for my swap.
  5. Just got death wobble for the first time in my 20 Plus years owning jeeps. Stock 87 Comanche 4X4. Checked all the steering components all are tight and I see no issues. Ball joints seem fine. Tires are older but I don’t see anything wrong with them. I have to get over 70 mph for it to happen. only recent change is I added a heavier front bumper. I planned to wait till I lifted the Jeep to add it but I needed it out of the way. With the new bumper the front end definitely sways and bounces more like the springs are worn. Any chance it’s the springs? Shocks are a year old everything else is original.
  6. Ok guys I’m doing an axle swap in my Comanche and am debating spring over or under plus lift. my plan is never go bigger than 35 inch tires with Notch fender flares. Hunting, fishing, camping rig no hardcore trails. so should I go spring over or under and what lift size? My research says spring over might be too much lift but I’m not sure. anyone have opinions? Especially if you have a complete lift kit recommendation.

    1988 Jeep Comanche Built September 1987 4.0L 5 speed manual Tucson, AZ on the road and a project of mine. Plans to build it into a camping, hunting, exploring rig.
  8. Damn you guys are tough. Here is why I thought it would be easier clearly I’m an idiot I get it now. first they are being sold as a pair and rubicon axles are a premium at least where I am and I don’t NEED a 44 front. Second a JK 30 gets rid of the CAD and is already geared to 4.88 which is my desired gearing. Third the JK 44 is clearly stronger than my current axle and again geared for 4.88. and I’m not capable to regear myself. Or at least I never have and don’t have the tools. it would then be disk brakes all around and JK bolt pattern for a set of JK wheels I already have. But don’t worry I’ll pass.
  9. Yes it’s 4WD
  10. I stated in the opener 35” tires was the plan. ill never go bigger this isn’t a hardcore wheeler. I have a Jeep for that. This is a back country explorer, hunting and camper. Moderate trails only. I also don’t want to add too much width. Some is ok but bot full-size of tons.
  11. Definitely not set at all. I know I don't need or want 1 tons so this seemed good. I’m open to anything that makes sense. In fact they would sit for a bit as I have some other things to do first. What would you recommend? TJ axles seem the easiest but seem to be harder to find in my area. But again I can hold out.
  12. Open diffs. I went back with some of these comments and it looks like I can get them for $1500. With the regear that seems like a fair price for my area. Junkyard 44s stock go for $1000.
  13. Ok guys I recently got a Comanche of which I'll post pics, register and start a build thread soon. However, I have a quick question I hope someone can answer. My plans are a camping rig on 35s and a rear locker. So here is the question. I have a chance to pick up a set of JK axles (44 rear 30 front) complete with 4.88 gears and diff covers for $2K. Is that a good price? Anyone done this swap? I know they make kits for the front and the back would just be spring perches I assume. Overall seems like a realatively easy swap. What do you guys think?
