jpdriver1 Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 brought metric tonne #2 home --- pics to be posted on into thread later
mvusse Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Cut off remains of old tailpipe, welded on new one that'd been sitting on a shelf since spring, reinstalled exhaust.
MJCARENA Posted December 13, 2011 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
comanche12 Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 replaced starter relay and still no crank condition. :no: but I'm currently inspection on ignition switch.
Paul Bruchal Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 I didnt do this all in 1 day. more like in 1 week. Smoked my front turn signals, Installed toolbox in bed, Had installed black D window rims, Installed new stereo "digital receiver", Installed new gas tank today
mvusse Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Installed new transfer case, put drive shafts back in, greased all fittings, changed oil and drove it home where I tossed the ten spokes with the snow tires on them into the bed.
codymanche Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Got my MSD computer box ordered and Rustys throttle body spacer for my 1990 jeep comanche!!! can't wait to install them!!!!
Blue88Comanche Posted December 16, 2011 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 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 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.
Paul Bruchal Posted December 17, 2011 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
Blue88Comanche Posted December 17, 2011 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.

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. I love the ripoff Flowmaster 40 on my ZJ... 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. USDS_gc_Ues Rob
RockMJ Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Received my Spidertrax wheel adapters last night! Making a trip to 4 Wheel Parts to pick up some stuff as well. Pics later! RockMJ

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. Better the flow louder it is. Mine sounds kinda like a straight piped V8 but not that loud... hard to describe. its throaty
SW86 Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 added three more rock lights. two more up front pointing at the d30/ground and one above the 35 under the bed so people behind me can watch my flexiness :brows:
MJRemi Posted December 17, 2011 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. )
TylerJY Posted December 18, 2011 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. Shocks come Tuesday, then it will hit the road for the first time in a long time!!! :wrench:
MJRemi Posted December 18, 2011 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.
RockMJ Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Made a ton of progress this weekend! Pics will speak for themselves RockMJ
