  5. Hey guys the brand new ax15 went in along with all new clutch kit..my makeshift tcase drop down kit worked rather well its amazing what longer bolts and washers can do for ya..pulled that ole carpet up and got a perdy nice hole in the floor so looks like ima put a new floor pan in....still questioning those cab corners idk Found some decent 31's a friend of mine threw my way don't look to bad...looking forward to a nice lil trail ride this weekend.....ill post some pics stat... I've decided to try to fix up the body a lil while saving for a lift...I have seen those kits that come with the 4" springs and 2" spacers I want a true 6" lift so I won't be doing none of that nonsense.... Oh ran into a problem with the exhaust the dumb asses welded everything together so I had to cut it off right in front of the muffler....well good thing I'm making pipes 2.25" all the way got a flowmaster super 44 layin around from working on friends vehicles that should add a decent rumble...we shall see that might just have to be a youtube vid ill keep u posted
  6. Hey guys got the tranny goin in tonight also gunna look at tearing that old carpet out making sure there's no rot thanks for the tip.... hopefully the install can go in without a hitch but I'm exspecting at least one or two things to go wrong.... When i was removing the rear driveshaft i notice that the yoke was almost fully extended so i went to lowes got some longer bolts and washers sort of a make shift tcase drop down kit....let me know if i should do something else.... ya i am pretty sure its an old chief it was a dark red almost burgendy idk why they painted it military green but I'm thinking about stripping it all off and maybe going with a flat black...not to sure yet but that whole rhino line green is gunna go..... I looked at rocky road outfitters they make some pretty sweet stuff lil pricy but like its been said you get what you pay for....:/ BTW whats wrong with air shocks up front i mean the new lift that i might get would have hydraulic but never really seen a problem with air..

Any tips or things i should know from ya'll seasoned comanche mechanics would be awsome....ill post pics hopefully idk I'm not to slick with this computer stuff... My cab corners look horrible looks like ima learn some sheet metal...yay!!! I can tell some idiot put a jerry riged lift on it already this will be fun to deal with....Oh if you look close enough you can see the dumbass cut and extended the control arms too those will get replaced I can see that my tranny bell housing is shot so i already got a new Ax15 tranny coming. figured since i was gunna pull the peugot out mina well put a nicer one back in what ya'll think?? well here is the bellhousing that was in it...
