    thanks. I guess I'll just use the 4wd leafs i have now and if I don't like it get a set of 2wd
  2. Rockdrummer93
    My question is do you know how much lift you actually acquired. I'm going to do SOA on mine and 35s, but still not sure what size coils to order. I see people ordering coils from 5.5 to 6.5 when doing SOA, and I see you used a 4.5 coil with the spacers. And do you have to use 2WD leaf? mine has 4WD leafs, will that be more or less lift then a 2WD leaf?

    This is true. I didnt think about that. Then I guess linking it is the way to go!
  4. Rockdrummer93
    yeah believe it or not I just noticed the springs lol. Yeah linking it would fix that. Or what about using XJ springs. they are 5.5" shorter. You would probably have to flop them to get the right wheelbase. Just a thought.

    Sweet MJ man! I like the bobbed bed. I actually have been trying to find a pic of someone that bobbed a short bed, was thinking about doing it to mine. Keep up the good work!

    Will do I probably won't have the manche ready for Uwharrie till next season. Might take my XJ up there before I sell it sometime this season before they close for the winter, but we'll see about that. My goal at the moment is to have the MJ ready by Christmas for the annual Christmas trip me and few buddies have at Gulches ORV every year. We do it the week after Xmas. So if you haven't been to Gulches and up for some winter camping you could probably tag along for that if you want.

    Well looks like I am coming home. Job over here didn't really work out. I'll be coming home and going back to school. I will also be picking back up on the manche. I most likely will be selling my XJ because I can't afford both this one and the XJ and I really want a better DD. So the MJ will be on the trail as soon as I can get it there.

    We'll need to hit up Uwharrie manche style when I get mine to a drivable state.
  13. Rockdrummer93

    Well unfortunately progress on the MJ will come to a stop for a good while. I am currently in Saudi Arabia. I have a job lined up that will be paying a lot more then my old job. So for the next year the Comanche will sit till I get back and am able to pick it back up again. Looking at it on the bright side. This does mean the Ol' Manche will see some pretty awesome mods when I get back.
  16. Rockdrummer93
    yessir it is :) and thanks!

    Finished up the harness today, and taped it up all nicely. In the process of getting the interior all back together before I leave for saudi on the 11th :(

    Scored this gem Saturday. Factory MJ D44, Pick it up for $60. The guy sold it as a housing cause of no shafts and brakes, more of a steal rather then a buy. Will be building it slowly to install later on. will also pick up a HP30 to do the same.

    Well went to the junk yard for one of their half price weekends. Picked up some dark grey dash panels and center console and managed to fine a 97+ 2 door that I pulled the passenger side seat hinge out of. The driver side seat was already gone. So here is a picture of the dash as it is now and my pretty lazy helper :shake:

    Well junked the donor today. now I'll be able to have more room in the garage to work on the Comanche. Cherokee came to a weight of 3,880 lbs. with all I had piled in. Right before I took it:
  21. Rockdrummer93
    Got the dash put back together today. Will be going the JY some time in the future to get the lower ends of that dash so its all grey. Still working out the harness. Ive already figured out what out of the harness I need and what I don't its just cutting and adding to make it work in that small cab that is frustrating me. Cause I really don't want a bunch of harness piled up in the back. I'll some how work it out the way I want it. Also cleaned out the truck bed and through all the parts I had back there in the cherokee that I'll probably be junking sometime this week.

    I pulled the doors off the XJ today. Most of the 97+ threads I read people are making new backing plates for the striker . I really don't want to go through more work then I have to so I just pulled the factory plate out. I noticed that the backing plate moved very loosely for adjustment. So after looking a bit I found that it was just a little tab holding it in. So I drilled a hole in the B-piller about where the back of the striker was. stuck a screw driver in, bent the tab and after a little wiggling of the backing plate it just fell out.

    Got the brake lines done today, thats about it. My main goal right now is to get the rest of the stuff I need off the Cherokee donor and get it off to scrap so I can have more space in the garage and use the money from that to go towards gears for my red Cherokee. So I probably won't get too much done on the manche this week. Unless its just throwing the rest of the dash panels on.

    Well got some pictures of the process today. Got a lot got of the engine stuff back together and have started filling her up with fluids. I still need to extend the brake lines from the brake proportioning valve to the master cylinder and finish up the harness. I also need to decide what route I'm taking with the fuel system and/or tank/pump/sender. I however was very pleased to fine WrenchMonkey's thread on NAXJA forum about fixing the door hinges without welding. I will be doing this over this week. Those damn hinges have had me worried since the start.
