Equanimity

ok so a buddy of mine has some 3.5 inch(i think) lift springs for an xj for 40 bucks. ik it will fit but will it give me the same amount of lift? also its skyjacker is that any good? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

if i get springs don't i need shocks? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

ok i didnt ask the question, but for three inches of lift with a budget of ab 300, rustys or rough country? its a 2wd but i hate that its so low. i like sitting higher up so i can see better and feel safer. it will get wheeled some but not anything extreme. its a daily so what rides better?

I'm looking for something for my 2.5, would a flowmaster 70 be good? i don't like the loud droning sound just a low rumble at idle a little louder than stock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He doesn’t want cash he put out a Facebook ad in a Jeep club asking if anyone wanted to trade an old Jeep for a Chevy. His trucks worth a lot more than mine that’s for sure and Idek what I’ll do Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I picked me up an 87 comanche sportruck for 1000 as my first truck. It has the 2.5 with 2wd. It’s a solid running truck and only has rust in the floorpans. The previous owner ran it into a parking pole and I have the parts to replace it with but the 80s era clips keep breaking and 1out of 4 bolts I’ve taken out has broke. It has no power windows or power steering, no ac. Anyways I got offered to trade with a 85 k20 suburban with a 6.2. It’s a solid truck. No rust other than the usual square body rust. It’s a manual with power windows, power steering, and ac. It has a six inch lift he said the only thing it needs is a fuel pump or a fuel pump sending unit to run. Should I trade? I love my Comanche and I’ve always wanted a Jeep but I’ve also always wanted a big diesel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is it two wheel drive?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Idk exactly. I thought about doing a custom fab bumper. For right now I just want to get stock stuff for the front clip Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The one in the last picture is bent Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was about to take the bumper off to see what needed replaced and this is what I saw The thing the bumper is mounted on (I beleive that’s the frame) is bent. Is that bad?? Is it fixable??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so I got it home a while ago and haven’t posted cos I’ve been really busy. I washed it It only has two major problems: The rusty floor pans and the previous owner hit a parking pole Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay! I don’t know if I will or not (depends on how it drives) but thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I won’t need a bracket? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you guys think I should put power steering in it? It’s not bad with the current wheels and tires but I might make them a little bigger. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok I’ll keep my eye out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I’ll need a xj doner? I have a buddy with a junkyard and he has like 20 xjs for parts Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also do you think it’s worth it to do the 4wd conversion? Will it hurt gas mileage? Can the 2.5 handle it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s nice. How much lift you got and what size tires? And I paid for it myself too[emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll post the vin # when i get it home. And yeah, I’ll drive it till the 2.5 dies then get a straight 6 swap[emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I don’t have my license yet (I’m 15 and in high school) so I have about a year to just work on it. I was thinking just standard stuff like 3 inch lift kit, tires, exhaust, and whatever needs fixed. Once I get it home and cleaned up I’ll have more pictures. I’m planning on keeping it as a toy once I’m out of high school but for now it’ll be my DD. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So this is my first truck. It’s a 2.5l 2wd. Engine is in really good condition. Picked it up for 1000. There’s no rust except for a hole in the floor pan (drivers side). Other than that the interior looks nice. I don’t know what I’m going to do to it but I can’t blow 1000s of dollars on it atm. Any suggestions?
