my motor mounts were not in very good shape. I went with M.O.R.E boom proof motor mounts http://www.mountainoffroad.com/ :cheers:

my Jeep Comanche is a 91 so it has a 3/4x16 oil filter neck. this allows me to use a over sized oil filter. allowing me to use 1 extra quart of oil & 5,000 miles between oil changes. if you have a renix 4.0L you will need to change the oil neck to the 3/4x16 on the H/O 4.0L. ease to find at your local junk yards

the XJ is not mine it was a friends. and he ended up pulling the motor 4.0L. that later went in to my red 1990 Jeep Cherokee :cheers: he then sold it!!! :doh:

Thanks , I believe it said Nov 1991, but it's been a while i changed to late model doors in early 2010.now i have power window and more visibility no wind wing and bigger side mirrors.

I purchased my Jeep Comanche in Dec,2007 in Los Angeles CA, it's my first Jeep & was my daily driver. it's a 1992 Jeep Comanche with a 4.0 L, inline 6 with a 5 speed AX 15, 2 wheel drive beam axle and a Dana 35 rear end with 3:07 gears. it also had manual windows, bench seat , dummy light gauges, all in all the truck ran good except for random death wobble at high speed hitting bumps.In Mar. 2008 I steeped up to a Rubicon express 3.5" super flex lift kit and a XJ add a leaf in the rear the benefit of the Rubicon express lift was to fit 31 10x50 w/15" rims BFG all terrains tires with American racing wheels Teflon coated.

looks good. what type of tube bender do you use? i use a JD2 model 3 . my front my rear

looks very nice . i run T&T U-Bolt elimanators & T&T truss on my D44 in my MJ . good writeup! :clapping:

they come in all different colors. the white ones turn brownish after awhile . and once again they are not for fashion they are for fire safety !!!! & get a fire extinguisher asap!

I have the same squealing sound in my MJ ??

LOOKS GOOD! :thumbsup:

I'm sorry man, but i have far to many projects and not enough time to complete them. The down side to buying the JCR bracket is they used the same 6 mounting holes I used.They don't include the shackle bolt or that bolt in the back. but that is a good idea and is strong. I think your suggestion was great. If i had the resource to fab a bunch of them, i would help you out.

Hood Pins are not just for looks. They're for fire safety!!!!!!!!!!! The first thing that will burn will be the hood release cable and you won't be able to open the hood to put out the fire.You have a lot of options," I run Auto Fab Hood Pins on all my Jeeps". You can buy these Hood Pins at http://www.offroadwarehouse.com. The first step of mounting these Hood Pins is to mount the male Pin to the radiator support.Drill a hole through the radiator support. Then place the pin through the hole with a nut on bottom and a nut on top. Tighten the nuts so they sandwich the Radiator. I welded the bottom nut to make everything easier, if you can weld i would recommended it. Then place a dab of dark grease on the top of each male hood pin and close the hood to mark the hole location. Open the hood and drill a small pilot hole in the center of the dark grease dab on the bottom of the hood. With a 5/32 bit. Try to keep the drill straight as you drill through both pieces of metal, then close the hood and drill with a 1 1/2 hole saw. Use the 1/4 centering bit of the hole saw in the 5/32 pilot hole.Drill straight down through both pieces of metal. be careful not to scar the male pin :fs2: Then place the rubber female top and mark your four holes to mount it. Drill the hole with a 1/4 bit, place four 1/4 by 20 screws in the hole with nuts on the bottom . Close the hood to check your alignment,If needed ream the rubber female with a large drill bit or unibit . I left the spring and gutted the top latch so my hood still springs open when i pull the pins Another option is to add a strut so when you pull the pins the hood opens I placed a piece of aluminum to the hood,and drill a hole right through it to mount the strut. and make two because you will need another one for the bottom :cheers:

just a idea. thanks for the write up on the brakes. it on my list of things to do. :thumbsup:

check out these Ballistic joints i got to replace my lower control arm joints on my Rock Krawler 3 link their BEEFY! got them form Ballistic fabrication

It looks like there is enough room to slide the tailgate in and out , but I don't know . I'm trying to figure it out myself ... :dunno: I am going to fab a tire carrier to fill that space. it's a work in progress! and yes EVERY ONE in LosAngeles is a cellphone Driver. I try to use my jeep offroad.

i used 1/4 plate to make my brackets. 2 pieces butted @ a 90* notched for the shekel bracket & butt welded to the 2x3 tubing Image Not Found
