Can Spell Comanche

Can Spell Comanche (2/11)

  1. do the airsoft balancing. but don't throw a bag in the tire. just put the specified ammount in for your tire size (theyre is a chart i just havent saved the link for it yet). you can use a peice of hose to put them in the tire once you break the bead (it just makes it easier). then fill it back up and your good to go. i have that with my hawgs and they only start taking effect around 25mph wich works just fine.
  2. oh haha well my truck is legal in texas i just put it on there so i wouldnt get bothered... iam sure not havin one wouldnt have hurt but i didnt wanna chance it, and iam runnin SOA on the 8.8 so iam guessin 7" of lift? or so soa and 34's is legal. long as you have flares covering the tires, headlights at legal height and the bumper a legal height your good. and soa with the 8.8 will not net you 7in of lift. you have more like 5in of lift. oh and ya need a rear bumper cops can get you for that. a guy in my local club got pulled over for that (no rear bumper and the class3 trailer hitch don't cut it aparently).
  3. good to hear your cutting and fitting the wires to make a professional job. it takes a bit longer but is worth so worth it in the end. keep the good job up!
  4. long as he had a welding hood on ;) .
  5. looks like ya got the job done on the axle but... how to put this. your fist dozen or so welds should be on scrap steel and should have a friend that allready knows how to weld directing you on do's & don't's and how to make a proper and strong weld. this is why i said that. plz take this as help and don't be offended. i weld everyday and have seen trailers and numbers of vehicle parts that have been welded on crack and break off due to these weld defects your weld has and others. the welds on the mount need to be strong (explanation why shouldnt be necessary). from the pic of your weld i can see porosity. thats air trapped inside the weld and is a major weld defect as the weld will easily crack with it. you don't have undercut on the weld and you have multiple restarts on the weld, so you were probly on the low heat range for the rod which helps get rid of undercut but can also cause incomplete fusion of the weld metal and base metal. oh and if you didnt grind the axle tube well to where theyres no paint were you will be welding, you will have porosity and sometimes bits of paint in the weld. i can't tell from the pic if you grinded it or not but if you did then thats a big help towards a stong weld.
  6. well my 87 has 10 but count yours again. you got 8. but it don't matter cause both look really good.
  7. uhhh new exhause is nice but i liked the stock sound better. i had a flowcrapper on my tj then ripped it off after about 2weeks with it on. stock muffler or straight pipe is the way to go for 4.0 exhaust.
  8. your mj stands out nicely among the usual wrangler. makes the mj look better and better :D .
  9. mmmmmm....... krawlers. hope theyre only goin offroad. theyre street tread life is poor but they are proven offroad (id get em but I'm too poor). did you do the tube work or did ya get someone to do it for ya?
  10. if those are sahara TJ seats then thats gonna be one comfy rig. the mounting holes are different i beleive but for height ya should just take some measurements.
  11. to run 35's on lift alone id say 8in. but 6in with TJ flare conversion will work just as well if not a tad better due to the lower cog. i currently have my 34's still on with 8in lift and at full flex i have bout 1/2 an in till the tires rub. so 35's with correct bump stops installed should work out great.
  12. theyres gotta be some award for that. ida never come up with that. :beerhead:
  13. link to the kevis brand? i wanna see what else they got :D .
  14. TNT customs track bar whops everyone hands down but they cost abit more than everyone else as well. ill try to get a pic of mine. oh and its a praticaly 1ton rated track bar. thats plety of strength. and it doesnt use TRE's or heim's. it uses rubber bushings that look like the ones on stock controll arms. i really need to get a pic.
  15. theyre a street tire and dusty dirt road tire. they clean worse than pro crap AT's and bfg AT's. theyre popular with big trucks since they are made in big wide sizes, look cool, and arent loud. i will admit that i havnet seen them on rocks. i wonder how thed do.
