Fox Shocks vs Old Man Emu
MercManche replied to shipp_m's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
My friend used to have a comanche with their 6" kit D44 rear, never had any issues. But I agree, welding new SOA perches is the best way to go about it. -

Contact the guys at RRO, super friendly and you will have to do SOA in the rear and front will be selected with OME parts. https://www.rocky-road.com/index2.html Thats about the only "kit" available. -
Fox Shocks vs Old Man Emu

If you are running a full OME kit, run the OME shocks, they are valved for the suspension and would give the best ride quality overall (for non adjustable shocks that is). I have Bilstein aswell, they are not specifically tuned for the springs but I don't notice a difference at all in my YJ. I do not like the bilstiens in the front (5100) as they are a bit stiff compared to the OME shocks I used to have. Fox is what I would go with if you are running anything different from the OME lift (as in not their full kit) I had a long conversation about spring rates and shock selection -

Dirty-Diesel Comanche Project
MercManche replied to MercManche's topic in Member Projects: Your Comanches
Been a few, ended up selling the other uh lawn ornament recently so now I have a bunch of spare interior parts and space to work again! Got this AX15 for $150 from a 95 Wrangler, yes yes I know about the transferase clocking and all but its not gonna be a problem. Next update will be after sorting all the parts out and working on the floor pans. Will also be locating a hood, some fenders and some axles. -
Long way away from putting them in permanently but yes I did install them. And they look fantastic! Just a FYI, those bent tabs are not factory, they are from improper removal. they should all look nice and straight. I am going to 100% disassemble them and I have to paint them blue to match my trim. Follow Epplebee's wiring guide and it'll work just like factory. I would recommend the LED aftermarket ones, wayyyy brighter.

Transmission from 99 Cherokee with 136k on the ODO. Fantastic condition. 2wd External clutch bellhousing, 3/4" input shaft. Will bolt to a variety of 4.0l's. Was going to use in my comanche, but my build is better suited for a different transmission.

Cheap is relative. But in terms of value its not beat up or anything. He says it runs and drives. Might go take a look myself ;) -

Lol, I buy it from my local exhaust guy, very reasonable. anywhere along the underside you might see a 3" pipe not clear?

Gotcha, it sounds amazing and lets the engine breathe so much better. Also turbo back is great. I was wondering because I would love to do the same on my comanche.
