Mnkyboys 89 Comanche project

[mnkyboy]

Major mod took place today,i now have a full set of matching lug nuts.

 

[mnkyboy]

I took the MJ to an offroad area with a local group a few weeks ago,the MJ performed very well for its first outing,I didn't get any pics though.

 

Last weekend i hit another 4x4 show,it was a pretty good turn out and my son and I had a good time.

 

If all goes well i will be closing on a house in a few days and i will finally have a garage again,once i get settled i can fix a few more things and finally tackle the supercharger.

[mnkyboy]

I dropped the transfer cases this weekend to fix some stuff with the Behemoth,while it was apart i decided to add some sound deadening,should make a big difference.

When is that Avenger and intercooler going on mate? Got the garage yet?

[mnkyboy]

 

Been in the new house about a month,still getting the garage set up so I'm limited on what i can do,once i get more tools moved over i can start playing with the Avenger.

:thumbsup:   Looks like a good size garage. Wish mine were that spacious. Is that a 60's Lincoln lurking in the background? I love those things. 

[mnkyboy]

 

That's my 61 Continental,the garage is 20'x36' so the lincoln and the MJ both fit with room to walk around.

I wanted a shop but the garage will do until i can get a shop building up.

She's gorgeous.   :drool:

[mnkyboy]

I've always wanted one so when i saw it i had to have it,it needs some love but should clean up nice.

[HOrnbrod]

Bags and slammed. What a contrast that would be with your MJ. The best of both worlds.  :yes:

[mnkyboy]

I shot some bed liner over the sound padding to help protect the padding and then put the interior back together,i think it turned out pretty good and made a huge difference inside the cab.

 

[mnkyboy]

Did some wheeling Saturday,the truck performed well.

I did manage to take out another window and a mirror.

The little 2.5l clawing its way up waterfall at TSF.

A little speed run down the 803 at Ladee flats,this is usually crawled.

I've had the truck out wheeling a few times and have put around 1000 miles on it on and offroad,still working out some bugs here and there but it's coming along.

 

[mnkyboy]

Got the wideband set up ordered and started some mock up.

 

Looks like my hood is going to be losing some metal.

 

[mnkyboy]

Making progress,making this thing fit has been a bigger project than i thought.

 

[mnkyboy]

Picked up a parts axle with some goodies in it.

 

[dragordie]

Good score on the parts axle

[mnkyboy]

It was a good find,the guy knew what he had so it was an expensive find but still much better than buying new.

 

The RCVs I'm told have 3 trips on them.

[mnkyboy]

Got the belt somewhat figured out,i may need to do some tweaking for better contact in places but i can run it and see what happens.

I pulled the supercharger so i could surface the manifold i made for it,now i can reinstall it for hopefully the final time.

 

Once it's back together i should be able to hook up the oiling system and start the engine,if all goes well i will start building the cooling system for the intercooler.

sweet!  :thumbsup:

 

how has the bedliner over the sound mat held up?

[mnkyboy]

So far it has held up ok.

[wheelsaz08]

cool. think I'm going to do something similar on mine.

 

can't wait to hear this thing whine!

[mnkyboy]

I really need to clean my garage.
