Backdraft Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Got the air conditioner charged up and working. No more sweating like a dog anymore!
SW86 Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Did alittle "wheelin" around the house with a friend. :D i hope you put those sliders to the test. hell you've got a locker too. should of tried to crawl over some of that $#!& man!
ComancheKid45 Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Ha Ha....i did crawl over a few things but nothing crazy, I love having those options there though for when the time comes :D
mvusse Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Buttoned up the bottom of the truck after swapping out the AX4 for an AX5. Still need to fill the transmission, transfer case and crank case as well as reinstall the center console. As a bonus, I found 5 quart jugs of Mobil 1 10W30 API SL at Wally World for $25. Usually I have to get 4 stroke motorcycle oil (API SJ) by the quart. I will never use SM or SN in my Jeeps.
SW86 Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 finally installed my MOOG ball joints. then i gutted all the CAD stuff and made a cover plate. cleaned the axle tubes and installed Alloy axle tube seals. which are bitchin as hell. got my new hubs and shafts ready for tomorrow when the RTV cures fully and ill be wheelin again! ah and I'm having to replace the rear pinion seal on the turdy5. maybe i should just swap the 8.25 in already
Blue88Comanche Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 I got a phone call from the Mechanic telling me the "bad news" about my BA10 tranny... the input shaft broke and damaged some clutch parts with it... ...So i started looking for an AX-15, and the parts required for the swap... I now have 2 Comanches I can't drive... one with an engine, but no tranny, one with a tranny but no engine... and no i am not moving the engine to red, and reds tranny is an auto 2wd and i don't have the drive shaft... so no quick fix
comanche12 Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 preparing to finish two projects on my jeep this weekend zj booster&M/C and metal wedge for front spring. :wrench: pictures will come up later :cheers:
AMC-MJ Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Kinda boring but I drove it to the grocery store and back 5miles round trip ;) Mike
btm24 Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Got my snorkel in the mail :D going to go and get my "new motor" Sunday. Brandon
SW86 Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 ^^^^sweet please tell me that STP is not for the MJ. i put one on and not long (like 2 weeks) after it was @#$%ed up and caused my low oil pressure issue. which cost me dough since i bought a high flow pump but all i needed was a WIX.
AMC-MJ Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 :bowdown: I been running WIX filters and AMSOIL 20w-50 high Zinc :thumbsup: Mike
AMC-MJ Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Cruised on over to the Jeep dealership here by the inlaws with my MJ, To ask about this JK-8 Kit truck What a waste that was they knew nothing of it, Then tried to make ma a trade in offer on my MJ :nuts: She told the sales man "You couldn't afford this in your wildest dreams" . . . How cool is that ? My girl stuck up for my MJ ! ! ! Mike
