MJCARENA Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (Did this yesterday) Entered my MJ in a car show, class 7 for stock trucks. Got 4th place ;) Was only 4 trucks entered in that class :( . But I got something better then a trophy. Met a guy named Bob there and he said he use to own a 1990 Comanche and had a spare rear bumper I could have for free (was just going to throw it away :nuts: ). He went home and brought it to me. Was I surprised , this thing is straight. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue88Comanche Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 not my Comanche but, ... the auto parts store called me, said there was a guy with a 92 Comanche (it was the silver one I saw in mobile a month or so ago) that needed some help finding parts (the oil filter adapter was leaking)... ..on a side note i just remembered that online store i couldn't remember while i was on the phone with the guy..

mvusse Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 After two days and 30 miles the fluid leaking out of the transfer case is brown, AGAIN. Went to replace the output seal, but had trouble to get the old one out. Decided to remove the tail shaft housing so I could work on it on my work bench and found it full of mud :mad: Out comes the new transfer case again to go through a complete teardown this weekend to clean all the mud out and find out how many bearings need to be replaced.

Boots Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Got it stuck.. Was going down a hill backwards I had just driven up, and didn't see the big log under the brush. The rear axle and bumper were sitting on the log. Ended up having to get dad's CJ to winch it back up the hill far enough to back down around it. My first thought was; "no problem, I'll just gonna winch it out". I quickly realized that the CJ weighs considerably less than the MJ. After trying to use logs and such to chock the wheel, I ended up putting the front bumper up against a tree to keep it from sliding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bruchal Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Alright, Ive heard people thinking that a MJ is just a modded XJ with a bed. Today is a new one for me. How did you swap a v8 in your Cherokee? :fool: I have the 1990 I6 with Pacesetter Headers and a Cherrybomb glasspack, NO V8! :rotf: Also today I made a bunch of people stare at my MJ. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue88Comanche Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I have the 1990 I6 with Pacesetter Headers and a Cherrybomb glasspack, NO V8! how does it sound? Deep like a v8 and not loud, or deep and loud, or loud. I am looking for something that will give my Comanche a Deeper sound but not make it too loud, sorta like the v8 in my WK or our Dodge Dakota v8 we had.

Here's a vid I made awhile back. The best part of the muffler is the deep idle, which you can hear right toward the end. Almost sounds muscle car-esq.

MJRemi Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Drove the 87 to the mechanic who has just finished installing a 99 XJ motor into my silver 88. Test drove the silver truck and gave the green light to swap several pieces of equipment and parts from the black 88 to the silver 88. ( D44, shocks, budget lift, etc. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerJY Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Finished wiring the taillights, got the exhaust on, got the rear brakelines on and bled, and got my last lca on.

MJRemi Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 The 87 e-brake cable snapped at the pedal a few days ago. Today I installed a new one from NAPA and it works great. I had also ordered one from Rockauto but the NAPA cable seemed a little better quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
