do I need a front dana 30 with or with out vacuum disconnect? I'm doing my 4x4 convert and this is the last part i need just don't know the diff. thanks Brandon

1st tech ?'s should really go into the tech forum to get more eyes and to it will be more searchable latter. Anyways, a 2wd to 4wd sounds easy at 1st. but I'm in the middle of mine right now and let me tell you its not. You can not even began to do any thing untill you have all of the parts. so far I have spent almost $1000 and I have not even got my front axle yet. just do alot of research and I mean alot! before you do any thing to it. hope that was a help Brandon P.S. welcome to the club :wavey:

I'm going to get one asap for my K&N cone air filter. Ive heard good things Brandon

very cool thanks guys for all of the info. I have a sale pending at the JY today when I go and pick up my front axle. Ill let you know Brandon

WTB Full Gauge Cluster for a 4.0 renix Comanche. plz PM me if you have one on the price and what not. Brandon

Thanks btw on the idea about the jack. I got a cheepo type at tractor supply yesterday for $55 :D do you think the boots that go on the bottom of the jack are worth the $30 they cost? Brandon

I did! woke up at 3 stayed up till 330. very cool! Brandon

Well when I went out and looked for rust the other day I found 5 rust holes :( Here are some pic's of the rust: in side that hole All of the bed rust will be fixed soon and the rust along the rear fender flairs will be fixed asa I get them trimmed 1" in the next few weeks. Before getting into some of the major stuff, I bought another Comanche emblem for the truck. I had the art teacher at school paint it for me and took the old on off of the tail gate. got some emblem tape and bam now my truck has emblems. here are pics: Here is where it went on the fender here is the old one on the tail gate that I put there Here is the old emblem and the new and together emblem tape on the back of the emblem and on not bad for a $10 update. Any ways I have been buying alot and getting ready for the lift and 4x4. 1st thing I bought was the winch for the front hidden winch bumper. it is a 8000 pound Smittybilt winch that I got from here: http://www.quadratec.com/products/92122_1000_07.htm Here is a pic: should be here by the end of the week. I also ran down to the autozone to pick up my new flowmaster super 44. Shop class at school will help me get her in tomarrow but here is a pic of the box lol Ill get pic's of it in tomarrow after it go's in. And While I was out I went down to the store and got me a hi lift jack which is cool. here is a K&N air filter my bro gave me: I will need the intake thing but that will come in soon. Here is the transmission cooler: Image Not Found it was the best one bull frog had so I got it :D here is another really cool mod that I just made not to long ago. I got a tool box light. It was a LED light from K-mart that I stuck them wall tabs on to still on the box. it is really bright and very easy to do. $13 well spent.: the other day I also came from the JY with my newer rear axle. A ford 8.8 out of a 95 ford explorer with 4:10 gears. I got the perches for it to that the guy who is doing my bumpers with me had I got for $8 so here she is: at the same time I picked up the axle I got the Spicer Yoke for Ford 8.8" from http://motionoffroad.com which will make the 8.8 fit my drive shaft. I also ordered differential covers from solid.com for the ford 8.8 and the dana 30 which I don't have yet. And since I got every thing else I just had to go out and get the lift. 4.5" lift kit from Rough county. That should be here in a few days. I think that that is every thing so far. When I got the lift and transmission and front axle I will sand blast every thing but the trasmission and paint it all black. Ill update as every thing comes along. Hope ya'll like what happened so far I know I do :D Brandon

An update to say that I did go and find a 4x4 place in town that is willing to help for next to nothing. They understand that I want to learn, and help. They guy who is helping me do my bumpers is the same way. he is doing it all for free just I pay for the parts. In the end I guess every thing works out :D Brandon

0" :rotf: Brandon

I'm looking to do the brake booster upgrade. ive heard of doing a this with a ZJ, XJ and WJ booster and know that the ZJ, XJ booster is all all bolt in. So after looking into it I know Ill be going with the 95, 96 XJ. So what are all of the parts to get at the junk yard to make it work? and will it matter what motor the XJ has? are there any add on's Ill need to get? Thanks Brandon

Right now I run 31" pirelli scorpion atr. They are great on/off road tires. they make zero road noise, have a 50,000 mile rating and look great. I got them for $630 with road road hazard warranty and run nitrogen in them. Since 90% of the time I run on the road. I love them. Brandon

welcome to the club :wavey: :popcorn: Brandon

ordered my 4.5" lift from RC, got my ford 8.8 rear axle, got my long jack for when I get my lift and ordered my 8000 pound winch :clapping: Brandon

very nice! are you keeping the dana 35 you have now or are you up grading? very nice Brandon

I like that idea glad your making it. don't them tires wine on the open road tho? lol Brandon

I don't think so the PO said it was from Ohio so thats where all the rust came from :fs1: don't worry about the rear bumper I just got my money so ill be getting a nice built bumper very soon. And a lot of other things very soon so you will be seeing a lot of updates :D Brandon

Thank ya'll!!! I've had this one for a few years on my TJ. Pretty fast and good control. I have had a couple HEAVY loads and it did great. Minimal amp draw works well with the factory charging system and Die Hard Platinum Battery. Note, I did NOT buy from q-tec ;) A buddy of mine has the XRC and loves it. He rarely uses it, but it always spools in. Is q-tec a bad name to by from? Brandon

yeah fuse its 20but mine keeps popping idk why :dunno: its done this 5 times now Brandon

has any body ever used this winch? : http://www.quadratec.com/products/92109_1000_07.htm I'm looking for any problems that any body has had with them. thanks Brandon

does your state have vehicle inspections? if you don't, just take off the catalytic converter and straight pipe it by welding in a peace of pipe where the catalytic converter was. if your state dose have inspections leave your catalytic converter on because I'm sure it is fine. on the inside of the catalytic converter it looks like this so if you can get if off you should be able to see right though it with out any chunks in it. if its all broken up inside it can make your truck fell sluggish when speeding up and make your mpg suck really bad. since you need a muffler then you can go with either an after market muffler like a nice flow master or one like you already had on. like this:http://www.carparts.com/details/Jeep/Cherokee/Dynomax/Muffler/1989/D2217704.html?TID=froogle&cpdymu89jeepcherokee19852001dynomaxd22177041 hope that was a help full Brandon
