Oh will do!

I also left the mj at home. Passing St. Louis Missouri as we speak!

Hey all! Anyone on here going out to Moab for the Easter Jeep Safari? We are leaving Cincinnati here in a few and should be there Friday morning. Its about a 24 hour drive for us and it came down to the death wobble at 10pm last night. We got her all figured out and the JK is ready to roll. Look for a black JK with REBEL OFFROAD on the window. Should be a good time! -Nick

I had motive gears in my past YJ on 37s and my current comanche on 37s with dana 44s, all have been 5.13s, detroits........they take a beating!! No regrets yet. I also used their install kit, bearings, shims, all went well.

I'm thinking about the going to the DIrty turtle in a few weeks or big rock if your down let me know maybe we can hook up.

Yes Liquid iron frame stiffeners went on without a problem. You sound surprised?

I only wheeled on new years day. Seemed like all the big boys left prior to that morning. I was hoping to see some of the buggies but with 80% chance of rain people got scared. lol It was the best day I have ever had wheeling. Hardly anyone on the trails and you did not have to wait in line for the "main atractions". I want a RZR so bad! I would get rid of both quads and the manche for one. I just can't justify spending that kind of cash on one.

I am in monroe/middletown

This is from new years day at Wheelin in the Country in TN.

They only way you will learn is to do it yourself. By ya a set. Have a buddy come over that has done it before and get er done! I have Motive Gears in mine right now. They are cheap and they hold up to 37s. No complaints here. don't waste your money on high priced gears. I also have a Spartan locker in the rear that hold up to street driving and trails. Maybe one day it will go..but as of now I stand behind them!

I am going wheeling saturday at a local spot. It will be the first time since Memorial day. I will get some pics then.

JK recovery point..its a must have! The reciever is tied all the way to the factory bed X crossmember. Super strong tow point. And here she is..New plugs, wires, fuel presure reg, filter, fluids, Optima yellow top, trying to get rid of that hesitation when I punch it....also the slooooowww starting habit it aquired...still a mystery!

This is a 3x3 angle iron used as the front cross member. Strong and free.

Why can't I use Google + pictures!!??? Anyways... And this is how she sits today. I wish I would have mounted the front diff a lil flatter but that can be changed in the upcoming year. Also have Balistic Fab shock tabs and the skull on the front diff cover to scare rocks away! If ya need some more front end pics let me know. I need some better lighting for sure! The mirrors are going to get taken off. I can already see those hittin a tree or something, they are pretty vulnerable. vul·ner·a·ble Exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally!! ^^^Sounds serious^^^

Sorry these pictures are totally out of order. As you can see in one of the pics..my "custom" Z drag link. It was a hurry up and get this thing on the trail for a Memorial Day run. Since then I have put 1 ton stering on, oh man what a difference! I also have Liquid Iron Industries XJ frame stiffeners on there. Well worth the money in my opinion. They fit perfectly and the Miller made them go on smooth. I swaped out the tie rod ends for some TREs that were offset. No more turning and hitting the diff cover. As you can see in the one pic...I did not own a high lift and we have a dozer....problem fixed! I actually broke the spring center pin. I just did not get it tight enough I guess. Went down to the local hardware store and bought some grade 8 bolts, took a grinder to the head to roung them off a lil bit and I have not had a problem since. The bumper is from Karnage off road. Talk about front apporach angle. I love it. For height reference..my buddys JK had a 3.5in lift and 37s.

I'm starting this a lil late, but building a trail rig is never done. Better late than never! I bought this Jeep in October of 2011. I only drove it in its stock form for about 1 mile! It leaked a quart of oil out the bottom in about 10 minutes. I researched the crap out of lifts and thought leafs would be best for me! (I know..you can't believe I took out the coils lol) This thing flexes great and I could not be happier. Front springs are YJ 3.5in lift springs with heave duty shackles, the rear is a spring over. Both front and rear axles are Wagoneers, with a locker in the rear and Warn Premium hubs up front, All new bearings, seals, brakes, everything...Also has 1.5in wheel spacers. The tires are 37x14 Iroks on 17in Rock crawlers that will soon be turned into bead locks. Here is the bed we just got done. Its strong and turned out good. I have a RCI 12 gallon fuel cell but waiting to get an electric fuel pump and foam for it. So until then...the stock tank will work for now! Also I am trying to get rid of a lil miss. When I rev it like stalls for a second then goes.. I put new cap, rotor, autolite plugs, fuel preasure regulator but its still there. Next is plug wires. I will try and do some progress pics as it was being built..cutting off the front suspension, the oil leak fix, ect.. Here are some pics so far.

Mine is "rusty"....for obvious reasons! :thumbsup:

never heard of it. who sells it? reason I ask is I am looking to pick some up tonight or tomorrow and roll it out saturday and sunday. thanks!

Looking to stay within 5 hours of CIncinnati If anyone has any plans and wants my Comanche to pull you out let me know! lol But seriously...anyone going to Wheeling in the country, Big ROck, Dirty turtle or what? I got a JK and myself looking to join up a group and head out

So we are fininshing up my cage and there is a lot of bare metal. All that is left of Comanche body is the cab, hood and front fenders.... I have been kicking around the idea of doing some roll on bed liner on the whole thing for rust isues and rust prevention. Plus, I think it would be pretty much scratch proof. I rolled my old cj7 hard top with the stuff and it looked awesome and held up great. I got a fine nap roller so It was not real rough like a bed liner.. Anyone ever done the bed liner on the whole thing? Its by no means a daily driver and I am thinking this would be the best thing for the trails.Plus I am looking to get rid of the white with brown rust streak look I got going on now. Pictures or personal experience anyone? What sticks the best? Thanks! here is a pic of my cj top on my old YJ. Looks pretty smooth for easy clean up.

ah sweet! thanks man I will look into that!

I need whatever was there from the factory, I have the black tray in the bottom, so just looking for the threaded rod and top brace thing. My bungee cord broke :???: With your price....please include quote to Ship to 45044 quote Thanks!

Wired the fuel pump backwards so it was sucking air instead of fuel. No wonder my fuel rail was dry!! The New pump is opposite of the old one. I should have checked...but 30degree weather and lack of time made me rush. Runs like a top!

Besides the gauge reading ¼ tank...the tank is loose and just sitting in the bed. I can pick it up and look in there. Its all good I figured it out. Thanks guys!

Also thinking that previous owner might have swapped in an xj sending unit and may be shorter than an mj unit and therefore not sucking the last bit of fuel.
