  1. Well, to be honest I'm not sure how many inches of lift it has but the lift is a trail master brand and it has 33 x 12.5 mud terrain tires. I like the lift on it but would rather have 33 x 10.5 to alleviate the rubbing on the flares at full lock and stuff.
  2. 4.0L / AX15 / NP231 / D30 / D44 / SWB 214,000 Miles Build date: 10/89 Current Location: Choteau, MT Status: I drive it around currently but its a work in progress Notes: Its red and has a bench seat. Interior color is tan. It has leer brand topper on it. I would like to have bucket seats and a console so that is something i am looking out for. I plan on making the truck daily driver capable and a camping/hunting truck. Lift and cap were installed at the dealership in Hawaii when new, atleast that is what I was told by the PO. He was the second owner after his uncle bought it new in Hawaii. Most of the miles were from being pulled behind a motor home. Current owner: COMANCHERED in Choteau, MT
  3. This is the steering setup that I have on my truck. This is the passenger side steering knuckle. This is the drivers side steering knuckle. This is the new TRE in the truck.
  4. Could be either. Got the part this morning and it went right on. I aligned the truck and have been driving it around quite a bit this morning, even took it out on the highway. The steering is alot tighter and now it doesn't swerve at all when braking. I'll still post picks so that you all can verify what I do or don't have.
  5. I'm working on posting the pics. In the town I live in, NAPA is all there is, so they will most likely be the "go to" store for most of the random mechanical parts that will be thrown at my truck from here on out. I visited the local NAPA today and when looking through the parts catalog I came to find out that the TRE listed for my truck (1990) is part number: ES2222L. I have this part. After measuring the one I took off my truck, I found that I need the TRE for the model year 1991. I ordered it and its going to be delivered tomorrow. I know that these were the transition years from AMC to Chrysler, but with my truck showing a build date of 10/89, I would think that the '91 parts would have been swapped in. I know its hard to tell without pics if its a factory steering setup or not so I'll get to work on the pics.
  6. Will post some pics tomorrow sometime. I didn't have the opportunity before as i was about 400 miles away from home but am home now.
  7. Hello all! I have been a member for a little while now and have always found the answers to my questions by searching the forums or by just reading every line of every post and eventually stumbling upon the answer. I'm stumped! My Truck: 1990 Jeep Comanche Sport Truck Engine: 4.0 renault bendix Tranny: AX-15 5 speed Other Info: Its red and has a bench seat! SWB truck and four wheel drive, dana 44 rear, lifted. O.k., my problem stems from the fact that my truck is equipped with a Trail Master lift kit with drop brackets and from what I can tell, the steering arm that goes from the pitman arm to the passenger side steering knuckle has been switched out to accept larger than factory tie rod ends. The tie rod end at the pitman arm is in desperate need of replacement and I have ordered the parts for a factory unit, it is TOO SMALL. From searching the tech and DIY forums I have found the part numbers for the TRE that others have used, they match what I have but just will not work. The TRE that I took off has no number that I can find and is about an 1/8th to 3/16ths bigger than the factory part. I have it all taken apart in the shop and would like to be able to get it back on the road. Just wondering how you all would go about replacing this part without knowing anything about it? I'll get around to setting up a project page for my truck soon as I have the "fever", and basically enjoy this truck! Just in a hurry today and need help! Thanks ahead of time for all of the help that I am sure is to come.
