Paul Bruchal Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Took off bumper finally! Then got Hella 500FF. I want to get the yellow lenz for the Hella lights. Sagging stock lift with 27" tires looks bigger lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvusse Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Got it almost hopelessly buried in play-dough consistency mud. Tried to winch myself out but fried the battery. Someone else tried but he ended up[ overheating his engine. Third guy melted his battery terminal completely away, but after 2 1/2 hours stuck and lots of digging with 3 shovels my girlfriend got it out with my own winch and a snatch block. Then when I started it to back it off the trailer at home the serpentine belt instantly shredded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bruchal Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 3 wheel motion! I took my 2nd Comanche offroad today for the first time! I owned it for over a year sofar and I'm surprised it took so long lol. I was called to help out a friend that was stuck in a creek. He as a Military K5 Blazer. My Eliminator pulled him out EZ. I love having LSD with stock suspension and 27" tires, taking this trail with my first MJ was a challenge with 3" lift 31" tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJCARENA Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Modified my rear bumper by backing into the Wifes Dodge Durango in the driveway. :( :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Few days ago I hosed Wilbur off. Top wasn't too bad, but it took close to two hours before I could see something other than mud underneath. Oh the joys of being buried to the body in river silt. Yesterday I spent an hour chipping clay off the pulleys and installed a new serpentine belt. Pulled chunk of wood from between tire and rim, pumped flat tire back up. Topped off oil, power steering and coolant. Should be good to drive to the shop today for a bumper to bumper check up.

comanche man Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 what would be the regular temp on an 87 4.0 in f is 205 too hot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comanche man Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 nice mod on your bumper there mjcarena :wrench: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 what would be the regular temp on an 87 4.0 in f is 205 too hot? Thermostat should be rated at 195, so the temp should be above that at all times. Anywhere up to 240 or 245 is within operating specs. Back on topic: Three tires are leaking on the bead due to mud/sand/gravel/wood stuck between tire and rim. Have resealed two of them so far. Replaced rear brake pads. One of the rear rotors is shot (1/16" deep grooves from gravel stuck between the pad and rotor) and still needs replaced, replacedbad unit bearing on the front, and still need to replace the rear axle vent line that got cut on something. Still have to open up the axles to see if I got water in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdriver1 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 saturday started out with a simple (ya I know) front end lift to level the 89 --- first found this on both front disks then when we got the coils out and put in the v8 zj coils --- there was no change in height --- so next they were pulled back out -- the old coils were 17", the ZJ 17 3/4" so it was grab the RE 4.5 lift coils in the parts bin ---- 22 3/4" tall seven hours later the truck is level with about 4" of total lift --- forgot to snap pic will edit later --- went from 25.25" in front to 29.25" inches --- ending up with ruff county HD upper and lower arms, ranch Rs9000 shocks and the RE coils --- still debating about adding the one ton steering :D major thank you to gogetemturbo for the work and parts hook ups :wrench: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
