Make the driver smarter not the vehicle. I know some make the argument that humans can't pump the pedal as fast as abs can. But I still maintain that if you educate the driver on how to control the vehicle they will be less likely to get into a skid and if you teach them how to handle a skid they will be less likely to panic and lose control. ABS, Traction Control, anti-roll stability, throw all that crap in the trash and just teach people to drive.

Actually I found it locally at a garage sale last summer. It is a plastic one with a little sag in it. But it serves the purpose for now.

Wow DEJAVU...... hows things here today. I am working on uploading pics of mine workin now.....

Time for a much needed update. I have moved, and that and some medical problems have slowed down my progress but the 4x4 swap WAS finished with the exception of a tcase linkage and I need to take 3" out of the front driveshaft. However in the middle of the move the AX-15 locked itself in neutral. :mad: So now its sitting in the driveway as I finish up the rebuild on the trans. I got the D44 swapped in. I have also aquired a $25 plastic toolbox for the bed and a trailer for hauling the firewood in so I don't tear up the bed any worse or risk a broken window. CB has been installed along with a 4' firestick on a custom mount on the toolbox. I don't have any pics to go with it as I forgot to take any.... Hoping to get the trans back together and have it back on the road this weekend. I will try to snap a few pics along the way.

I have never had a problem with the any forum on my Blackberry. I surf multiple forums all day long on it and as the tech savy will know blackberry has one of the worst browsers of all the smartphones out today....

I am not for certain but I don't belive the metric tonne package part is true. This is a photo of a AMC20 under an '86 longbed 2wd with a 2.8L. As you can see by the spring packs it is not a MT

Excuse me while I go change my pants....

I am currently running a gutted cat through an old glasspack that was on the truck when I got it. Sounds ok but it has a real "tinny" sound to it sometimes. I just helped a buddy change out 2 40 series flowmasters with stock mufflers on his GTP (he is getting old). He gave me the 40's so I think I am gonna revamp my exhaust and run a straight pipe to a 40 with a turn down. I figure if sounds like crap I can always try some different combos. I think its the getted cat that's giving me the "tinny" sound. Almost sounds like a dirtbike after you wrap it out.

If you have bbm 5.0 scan it and join in. If you don't have 5.0 go to bb app world and download it.

:agree:

If you still have the visor off the gray truck, I would be more than willing to take it off your hands.

Now that.......I just might have to stick some where......... :rotf: Oh.......and welcome to the CC :wavey: Glad to see you found your way over here to the dark side man. LWB stands for long wheel base. LB stands for long bed. If you still have confusion about your budget boost these guys are the ones to talk to. Welcome to Comanche Club come in sit down and have a cold one.

At home mine gets garage priority 95% of the time. Hell I let my CJ sit outside so the MJ can be in. But I figure if someone can figure out how to start let alone drive my CJ they are doin pretty damn good. At work my MJ is ALWAYS locked. And I work on a major street in town so my truck is very visible.

I will dig out my comanche fob and see if I can get a decent pic. I found mine with a set of keys hanging in the ignition of an mj @ the junkyard.

Tires are one of my favorite things to do(as long as they aren't low pros going on dubs). I do all my own with spoons and the help of my MJ. I can change out 4 in about an hour if I am in a hurry. Usually I just take my time and kill a couple of hours.

Sweet. sounds like one more project for the list. Any recommendations to make the goo removal easier?

Ok I would love to make the move to the 95+ gasket as apposed to the old black goo/trim option. If I am reading everything correctly all I need is the new style rubber gasket, correct? Just don't wanna go rippin out a windshield and not have all the stuff to put it back in. How difficult is it to remove the old "goo" from my existing windshield? I have worked with glass and windshield before just never in an xj, mj.

Wade, take a look at my build thread I cut my front fenders and removed the air dam completely. I prefer the way it looks without it.

I took that pic, and I saw that up close once and it was done nicely and details were taking care of. If you go this route please make it look good and not just slap it up there and go then have it look like a Ranger with a 6" body lift and able to see on the other side, :shake: I hate body lifts over 2". I still don't see an MJ in that pic.... :chillin:

Sorry no pics but I just stuck mine on top of the dash just above the radio. Sticky velcro holds it in place nice and solid. And before anyone jumps me for sticking stuff to my dash, I wanna say it was already cracked and tore up.

Don't know if it counts but I helped with an axle swap at a campground on an xj. I have done U-joints in parts store parking lots, on the trail, in campgrounds, on the side of the road, in the grocery store parking lot, in my parents backyard....... Guess I should probably recheck the driveshaft angles on the cj huh? lol

tonight is the night. Everything is ready. If you need directions give me a ring. 2605191197

Fixed your pics for ya.

Thanks for the move. If anyone is on the fence I want to let you know the mud pit is dug and soaking. We are working on a live band and possibly a hog roast. I have plenty of room in the yard for tents or if your quick enough you can possibly get a spot on the floor in the house.
