socal1200r Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Hopefully your new full gauge cluster came from the same engine that you have, i.e. 4-cyl to 4-cyl or 6-cyl to 6-cyl? If not, you'll have to calibrate the tach like I had to (6-cyl donor cluster into my 4-cyl).
ComancheKid45 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 Ive driven with it tonight already and the tach seems to read normal, very close to my XJ so i assume its the same.
socal1200r Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Ive driven with it tonight already and the tach seems to read normal, very close to my XJ so i assume its the same. As long as the engine that the vehicle gauge cluster came out of matches yours, you should be good to go. The gauge cluster that I used came out of an '87 6-cyl XJ, and I have an '88 4-cyl, so I had to recalibrate the tach. As long as the donor engine and receiver engine are the same, shouldn't have to mess with the tach...
ComancheKid45 Posted February 27, 2010 Author Posted February 27, 2010 Some side by side shots with my XJ, which has gotten some attention over the winter as well :cheers:
MjAllTheWay Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Man how much lift you have on that thing and what alternator is in it i need a better one.
buxmj Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Nice truck, I like the stickers, they make it one of a kind! For not having body shop experience, awesome work!
ComancheKid45 Posted March 26, 2010 Author Posted March 26, 2010 The Truck only has a Motion Offroad 1.5" BB on it and the front has ZJ springs on it but thats it. The Alternator is just a 105amp job from Advance Auto. We'll see how long it lasts... :clapping:
1990 Pioneer 4x4 Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 how far did you spread the Herculiner up the fire wall? any pix?
ComancheKid45 Posted March 27, 2010 Author Posted March 27, 2010 I went about 1/2-3/4 up underneath the foam pad.....i did trim off parts of it on both sides but just mainly covered enough past the new sheetmetal.
waggy Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 do you have any closer images of those fender light brackets ?
ComancheKid45 Posted April 30, 2010 Author Posted April 30, 2010 Got a nice surprise today! 31x10.50x15 Treadwright Crawlers :clapping: I got em mounted this afternoon and after an intitional Drive They ride so much better than my previous tires did, Have to try em out offroad but I think I'm gonna enjoy these, I havent heard a bad review yet so I wanted my own opinion so we'll see over time. Pics this weekend! :yes:
Darren Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Be sure and let us know how you like them. I've been thinking about getting a set of those since they are only like $90 a tire. Hurry up and post some pics of them on the truck!
ComancheKid45 Posted May 6, 2010 Author Posted May 6, 2010 Well after about a week I have no complaints, They did great in a small offroad test and have just the right amount of "hum" on the highway. Had them @ speeds up to 70 without vibrations as well. here's a few pics from today of them on the truck
HKB3 Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 clean looking MJ :cheers: I`d lose the stickers though :thumbsup:
ComancheKid45 Posted May 15, 2010 Author Posted May 15, 2010 I brought home a friend this weekend. He is kind enough to donate some parts for awhile :wavey: More Pics here viewtopic.php?f=3&t=23433
ComancheKid45 Posted July 8, 2010 Author Posted July 8, 2010 Well I have been tinkering here and there with my Comanche as always. Stole the Prop valve rod from my parts truck and figured id make it functional again. Also over the past few days I installed a few items to help out during these summer months. Walking past things such as these at work everyday I'm always wondering what i should be adding to the MJ next :shake: :yes: I should be done with add ons for alittle while now but who knows :doh: :rotfl2:
ComancheKid45 Posted August 5, 2010 Author Posted August 5, 2010 As always I'm never done finding little things to add on. Threw on a set of JCR Unibody tie ins so my bumper can acctually be a legit recovery point now And I threw the 10 slot grill on alittle while back, here's a shot with my freshly sprayed off XJ as well :thumbsup: Thats it for now.....I'm still looking for a Dana 44 for the rear so if ya know any leads feel free to contact me.
ComancheKid45 Posted August 12, 2010 Author Posted August 12, 2010 Threw in a fire extinguisher last evening for good measures.
mrsinister Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Man, I'm not sure why no one is posting, but i think its looking great! Appreciate the pics and your progress along the way
buxmj Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Great work! Having the fire ext. gives peace of mind, hoping it's never used and if it is used, it is needed on someone else's rig. Keep the pics coming, and that is one very unique jeep, something I wouldn't have done but I like it!
ComancheKid45 Posted September 15, 2010 Author Posted September 15, 2010 I managed to pick up my 3rd MJ today and it included something ive been hoping to find for awhile. Yep My Winter will be full of Comanche projects it seems :yes:
Comanche County Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Ah, a D44. Good score. :cheers: Looks like you've got 12 round title fight coming soon with the heavyweight champ, "Russ T. Rails".
Comanche County Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Looks like a brand new gas tank too.
ComancheKid45 Posted September 15, 2010 Author Posted September 15, 2010 Yep the tank was installed less than 1000 miles ago along with many other misc. parts. :D
