How does the kicker sound? is there any rattling? if so does it matter ? I need a sub fo rmy setup, and an small amp as well, but haven't got around to it yet. That looks like a great place to put a sub, not much usable space there anyways, when I go camping/wheeling trips stuff just falls back there and gets lost, I'd rather plug the hole with some sond

This def says 1989 , nice work and yea, I'm sure it was a PITA to squeeze it in there!

That's a sound plan, avoid mucking with disc brake conversions, if possible, it's just another level of "custom" to content with. Post pics from the trip otherwise it didn't happen!

Head replacement: what else to do?
Big_Mark replied to hgeranium's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
YES REMFLEX FOR THE WIN!!!!!! I second this tip, the last thing anyone ever wants to hear after this kind of work is "tic tic tic" from a manifold leak, leading to the last thing you'll ever want to do TWICE, replace that manifold gasket I use Remflex manifold gaskets exclusively, like Franks Hot Sauce, I put that *** on everything!! -
A couple questions, Are you gonna be hammering down with this setup? What size tires do you expect to run? Any axle housing can be cut down to a specific width, and you can figure out what standard axle shaft lengths are that get you over all axle width where you want them. I went through 2 axle swaps on my Scrambler, Ford 9" (with two standard width axle shafts, 36" tires) and a Dana 60 (from a junk yard Ford 3/4 ton van 42" tires), that one had a custom width axle shaft that I had to get cut and splined. My advice is figure out what your end goal is, then build you axle plan from there and gather more info. Hope this helps

I think Master Blaster owns that rig, lol (Road Warrior reference for the uninitiated)

Yep this, I tried using a syphon tube (the kind with the ball bearing at the end, I don't like sipping gas, lol) and couldn't get the end past 12"-15" from the filler tube. From the sending unit side was easy

I regularly see 2 or 3 other Comanches around here, not sure if you are members or not, but if so post up! Also I am looking for someone who knows "where the trails are" around here, DM me, I'd like to know where the locals go wheelin. Peace

After a few years I finally got my new tires: Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 265/75 R16 Same size as my 14 year old BFG TAs, only brand spanking new! The last time I had fresh mud tires was on the CJ8; 44" Iroks, it's going to be a fun time in the Naches this summer for sure! -
The old script from what I can tell is baked into the site service/runs on the host virtual machine (Ubuntu ultimately). I saw it (can't remember the name of the resizing service) as an option to enable in the site management settings once but am not able to find the "toggle" again. The "whoever" was working on the site updates in the past sent an email to Pete talking about the underlying database engine having issues post upgrade which somehow degraded the image resizing software etc. but as I am not a database guru I don't know what it meant. Stack that on top of the site is behind a few versions, to get access to the new versions it requires a $ubscription. Once the site is updated, things may or may not work which is a major concern. There doesn't seem to be any level of support beyond another forum for this site service. As for Claude and "Chad GPT" unless you are somewhat knowledgeable of the thing you are trying to fix, I would steer clear of those options. I use Chad daily for my job and honestly, it's a great way to waste time %80 of the time, however there is that %20 of insight that often get me to my solution, but GAWDAMMMMM is it hard to get there. Anyways let m know if you have any other ideas or questions. Ideally if the "whoever" could come back and UN***k this i'd by them some beer
