socal1200r Posted February 24, 2010 Share 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MjAllTheWay Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Man how much lift you have on that thing and what alternator is in it i need a better one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buxmj Posted March 26, 2010 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted May 2, 2010 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share 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    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComancheKid45 Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 Well I have been tinkering here and there with my Comanche as always. Â Stole the Prop valve rod from my parts truck and figured id make it functional again. Â 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: Â Â Â I should be done with add ons for alittle while now but who knows :doh: :rotfl2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share 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.

buxmj Posted August 12, 2010 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
