Cdub, is that another Comanche in one of those pictures? ...BOB

very nice. :-D ...BOB

Got back today from The Badlands, and meeting some of our fellow MJ members. PETE and his personal photograher Mike, Rjohntzen aka Bob from Indy, Comanchegirl and comanchero, Comanche dude and his son and an XJ'er and his daughter. I am sorry I can't remember all the names real well. We spent the whole day wheeling, with little time to talk other than the CB. We expected rain and gloom. we got a day in the lower sixties and sun most of the afternoon. We enjoyed mud, rocks, sand, creeks, and dodging atv's throughout the day. I had a great time. I will be looking forward to go again with you all. I will post my pics later this week. ...BOB

I purchased my 87 Pioneer in April this year. I noticed an extremely dirty air filter - so, I changed it. Then when putting on my lift. I noticed snot looking stuff all along the underside on the drivers side. Well, I have learned it may be called "blowby". The MJ feels sluggish passing and up hills. So, I need help diagnosing the problem. I am also wondering if I may have a clogged catalytic converter. All suggestions are welcome! ...BOB

here is the weather forecast for The Badlands. ...BOB http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weathe ... IN0340.htm

I broke my clutch peddle. down where the clutch shaft meets the linkage. there is a round part at the end. it broke! I need to check out some junkyards quick. I have an 87 Pioneer. does anyone know if they differ from year to year. Or if the Comanche model changes that part? thanks, ...BOB

Pete, that's sounds like a good plan. my cell is 630-267-0468. YES cell phones do work in the campground area. ...BOB

looks like I can't get there until Saturday morning. I will be there when it opens. Pete, I suggest you decide on a meeting location, time and CB Channel, for Saturday morning. ...BOB

Welcome Eagle. my user name at NAXJA is BOB (Midwest Chapter) ...BOB

can you explain the stereo hookup for us old guys. I take it, one is a 200W amplifier, what is the other component. and, what is that little clear box in between. I may be old(er) but, appreciate my music. I'm interested to see how you make the Subwoofer. ...BOB

gotta be honest Pete. :oops: they do have the "big ear" look. ...BOB

I am NOT the guy to answer brake questions. However, toggle down at this site until you see brakes. there is trouble-shooting for 8.8 brakes. Good Luck! ...BOB http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/index.htm

here is my 87 Pioneer with an RE 3.5 (XJ) lift. http://comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=78 ...BOB

I got duals. they run behind the rear shackles. I just smashed the passenger side last weekend. damn, I break averything. I'll post a pick some time. ...BOB

welcome, eh! :D ...BOB

I am not much of a NASCAR Fan. I like the tech part. You gotta love the "cut away car" they show. I cheer for Jeff Gordon and anybody in front of Dale Jr. nothing personal, he just hasn't got me to cheer for him yet. ...BOB

those are 31x9.50 onXJ's, it takes a lot of lift to fit larger tires. I have a 3.5 lift with larger shackles and a 2" spacer up front. I probably can fit 32's without trimming. The Radial Baja Claws are great in mud and dry pavement. rain and snow - fagetaboutit! I air down to 12-15 for roack climbing. I probably should go lower 8-12. I may be seliing my Bajas and Cragar rims. I want to go larger. ...BOB

here is one for you KID45 I seen this last week at an Off Road Rally I attended. ...BOB

I'm IN I plan on arriving Friday about 1 pm. likely stay at the Attica Inn. (too old and whiny to camp) Any plans for Saturday night? maybe we can plan dinner at Robies it is a bar and restaurant - the only good food in town steaks, chicken, dessert ...BOB

my oldest daughter is married to a guy at Eglin AFB. I've seen a few modifies XJ's. are you on base? ...BOB

I am starting to get images in my head, of a new front bumper. :wink: I have a friend itching to practice his welding skills. maybe in a few weeks. ...BOB

The pictures are bad. But, wanted to post em. the dark pix are of my 87 MJ Pioneer with a 3.5 XJ Rubicon lift. 31 tires. shocks, springs, upper and lower control arms, sway bar links and relocated my track bar. also, Rusty's Off road shackles/ stock leafs. these brighter pix is the front lift only. notice the difference. and, these are pix of my 95 Cherokee Country. (31" Mickey Thompson Baja Claws on Cragar wheels, Warn 9000, 8.8, Detroit, rear disc, CO2, lots of armor and lots of other goodies) at The Badlands I will try to post up better pictures soon. Over the weekend I took the MJ to Antigo, WI for a 60 mile off road Rally. We came in about 12th out of 120 vehicles. The OLD MJ did real well. (however on the way there, sprung a leak in my radiator. Well, good news is ...I have a new radiator. ...BOB

looks like he snagged the spare wheel!! just joking. good luck with the build up. ...BOB

I have installed my lift. Thanks to two "good" friends. It fought us a bit. I did not do anything to the rear. It is about an inch or so low in the rear. I'll try to post a pic tomorrow. my rear shackles are only 4.5 from bolt to bolt. should I try a longer shackle. I never knew them to add much lift. does an aal actually help raise a lift on SUA? I want to stay SUA for now. ...BOB

Hi Ray, this is the site I used when I decided to swap in my 8.8 (on my XJ) there is so much GOOD information. I really like the site. I hope it helps you! http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_li ... guide.html ...BOB
