how about some *more* upclose pics of the half doors

the wiring harness should come with it as long as he didn't hack it all up. i may even upgrade to digital gauges. I did forget to mention that whenever i do finally pick my comanche up it does not have a running engine. but i do have an extra laying around that i was going to use but am leaning to the diesel if i can get it to work.

well since my old one pooped out on me i'm awaiting a new one to be droped off so I'm not sure. and I'm still determining what kinda of tubing i am going to use, i am willing to work with someone if they want a certain type. I am a fan of chromoloy for cages since it is stronger but does cost a bit more.

So i may have a diesel driveline from a new liberty or grand cherokee drop into my hands here soon. i am positive its 4x4 not sure if its auto or manual. my friend had it in his jeep and it got totalled out for some reason i can't remember what he said. But how hard would it be to drop the entire engine, tranny, and transfer case and get it running? I know new gas tank and lines will have to be run but what else?

so i found the clamps so i am going to think of a bolt in cageconfiguration and a weld in config. I am working out the detals for the rest of the machine tools tomorrow, so i will let everyone know if i am going to start building all the stuff hopefully tomorrow.

that is doable. see i was thinkin of the common person that doesnt have a welder. if i find the clamps i may think about making a bolt in cage and a weld in kit. and if i possible made a cage i would prolly use 1.5-2 chromwhatchamacall it but if you want a certain certain metal i will see what i can do. I am working on getting a new bender as we speak, since my last one craped out on me about 4 months ago and was just old in the first place

cages aren't usually that hard to build. just takes time, problem is i don't know where to get the bolt on material. If i find the bolt on clamps i could build something of what you want. bounty I'm on the ill side too I'm from maryville i'm about a mile from glen carbon and a mile from 55 and troy

If you have any ideas or stuff you might want to see let me know i am trying to figure out stuff to build. I like drawing up stuff even just to get it as a prototype. I got a billino things on my mind of what people want but just can't think of everything. So give me some ideas. even if its a simple one of something already out that you would like to see differently or even better.

what kind would you be looking for? like a step set up or something like against the body like most yj&tj ones are?

Whoa what a busy month I have had. but to the point, So i might start building bumper, rockers, and maybe cages for mj,yj and tj's. But I am not sure if i could build enough for people to make it worth my wild. So I am starting just a poll on if you would buy one if it was built to what you wanted? If you can draw/dream it up I might be able to make it.

did that article help out?

I need the measurement from the rear wheel to the front bumper on a swb.

Ya I'm interested in finding the graphics too. I want to repaint my mj when i get it since i like having green cars and actually like the "sports truck" graphic for some reason. but if i can't find the graphics i may do a two tone color so i can keep the graphics

I didn't mean towing with the factory bumper. I ment a aftermart heavy duty bumper like one from detours or something that has a built in hitch.

Ok since i am beyond exhausted of asking my buddy to borrow his truck to tow stuff... for example i was supposed to pick my mj up this weekend but my buddy had to take his old lady out for their 2 year anniversary. so when i get the mj i am going to add a hitch but was wondering which is better, a hide-a-hitch or whatever it is or a rear bumper with a built in hitch? Also does anyone have any pictures of and bumpers with the built in hitch and prices of both options? Oh ya i know that i won't be able to tow much but i have been able to flat tow almost anything with a 2.5L tj and I'm really only looking to tow small things the biggest being a small 2 person hunting boat.

First questoin; with the 2.5L 5 speed combo are the axles geared at 4.11 like yj's, tj's and the rest? Second; Ok from what i have read from reider racing catalogue the gears I have for tj d35 should fit in the mj 35 correct? I know the mj's 30 is reverse so i know the tj's gears won't fit it. Reason i'm asking is i have a set of 4.88 already to be put in on my d35 for my tj but if i can take the 4.11 out of the d35 and then get a set of matching gears for both d30's. thanks in advance

Jp mag did it to their MJ in there september 2005 magazine. I have been reading the sept 05 mag the past couple weeks. I am going to help a buddy do that to his along with a 2 to 4wd conversion like jp has talked about in that edition. they also helped with some common problems i know to look for now. If you can't find the info on it, send me your email and i will scan the pages for you.

how long would it be without the bumpers on?

I need to know how long a comanche short bed is from front bumper to rear bumper. I need to figure out if it will fit into my storage unit. I have to put it in storage while i work on it since i have 2 nonworking jeeps in my garage and no room at the house.

maybe its the red of the truck but that looks more like a clayish mud i have come across in some parts of ohio but it looks a little weird. It may be because i do alot of mudding in deap woods or farm land and i get a different shade of mud. But looks nice and I'm mad cuz its raining here alot and i don't have my mj yet and my tj aint touchin the mud because of the basically bald front tires. makin me jealous! Oh ya how are you liking that 3" lift?

ya then my tj one won't come close to fit since it is 3"x8" yikes ... I will just build me a nice little custom box and route the wires somehow. hmm now just to pick my mj up... i just need a truck and trailer and it wouldn't so hard, i just have to wait for my budyd to have a free day off.

hmm i wonder if i custom build a box for the radio and just rewire the wires to the radio.... hmm that will give me something to build as long as the radio will work

ya um whats DIN? so will my tj stereo not work in the mj?

Ok so i found my stock tj radio with tape deck oh ya... but now if someone could give me the dimensions for the size of the mj radio slot i will find out if will work or not.
