MF Steve!

Thanks guys! Hopefully this MJ will find a permanent home in a garage a few friends and I have been searching for. As of now, it's just sitting in a friends driveway and just getting a few things here and there. I don't want to pull the drivetrain until it's somewhere it will be staying until completion. As for the TNT suspension...I'm really impressed with their stuff. But, at the same time, I'm more impressed with the Clayton long arms. I can get a better deal on a Clayton setup, so I have changed my mind and I'll be going with his front kit. I do have an important question though. I joined up on jeepin.com forum, and first...let me say, there are some crabby people over there. I'm on quite a few forums, but they top all when it comes to jerkoffs (not to offend anyone here.) Anyways, I mentioned "4.0L swap" and all I got was a bunch of crap about how it won't fit in an '86. I have a friend with an '01 XJ, and his engine bay looks just about identical to mine. So, will the 4.0L fit, or not? I should have quite a few parts in fairly good shape up for sale here pretty soon. So far, I've got a stock bench seat the doors eventually the dash a bed liner the hood front fenders and grill assembly both rear plate lights out of the bumper plate light wiring, intact with factory bullet connectors drivers side tail light, with harness passenger side tail light housing w/ no lens, with harness both rear bumper brackets including all hardware for frame and bumper 2.5L I4 w/ 167,xxx miles 5-speed tranny (not sure which yet) 2wd front "axle" rear driveshaft, or telephone pole... 4 alloy wheels If anyone needs any of it, PM me. I'll be making an official for sale post at a later date.

Hey everybody, I'm Steve. I just bought a Comanche Sunday. I'm in Pittsburgh, PA but the truck is from Georgia. 1986 2WD 2.5L 5-speed with 167,xxx miles. Over the next few months, I'll be completely rebuilding this truck into a complete monster. I have a good bit of fabrication experience, and unibody experience. The last big project I headed up was a ZJ buggy for a friend. Some of you may have seen it around on mallcrawlin.com and other forums. Plans: TNT long arms, 7" of lift 35" - 37" tires Front 44 Rear 44 or 9" Rubicon Roc-Trac transfer case NV4500 tranny 4.0L engine swap Cutting 16" out of the bed 96+ front clip, and interior with TJ seats Custom fab. bumpers, rockers, cage, tailgate ...obviously tons more! Here are the pix...this baby is virtually rust free! One hell of a find for $300!!! Stay tuned for updates...hopefully this will be a fast paced build!
