one_bad_mj's build up

[one_bad_MJ]

bought this the other week

 

1989 jeep comanche

4.0l

5-spd

4x4

 

very little rust

 

runs great

 

 

 

 

then i added 33's

 

 

then a lick of paint

 

olive drab green i rolled it so there was no spray lines plus it was cheaper to roll it then buy spray paint

 

 

 

more to come

 

custom bumpers

 

2" coil spacers to level it out

rear main seal change

[DJM/78]

I like the olive drab , before you change that main seal , check your valve cover .

They leak at the back and runs oil all down the back of the motor , giving the appearance of a faulty main seal .

Thats what mine was doing !

[Drahcir495]

Welcome :cheers: . :agree: , but in my case it was the RMS.

[satyr36]

what size lift is on there now to fit 33s?

mine was a holy oil pan, and shotty seal.

 

always good to check anyways.

 

 

flat paint is good t hiding stuff.

6.5 i believe its spoa in the rear rockers measure 24" behind cab 22" in front i need 2" spacers

 

 

 

for you other guys i had a 89 xj 4.0L and the rms went in it 2 hour change. but the valve cover gasket needs changed too its leaking in the back

 

 

i need to get my clutch figured out. it will be fine then you gotta pump it back up for pressure. we bled it 2 times now something is pulling in air

Holy wheel weights Batman! (RR tire). That's why I didn't even bother with my new tires.

Nice build looks just like mine when I first got it,

[one_bad_MJ]

yeah i need to get some stuff for it.and there is like 8000 lbs of wheel weights on it. need to paint them black.

 

 

 

i need to buy and install 2" coil soacers to lift the front to match the rear

 

and build bumpers

 

i have a garage but 28" of snow puts a hault on things. i drive the jeep to save fuel in my truck

I noticed that too!!!

 

I had a set balanced at Town Fair Tire once. (I use stick on weights as they are better for the rocks.) The kid had no idea what he was doing.... I was there for almost three hours... he was balancing them for MOST of that time!!! When I fineally got them, OH YEA, they where not on the vehicle, they where in the bed of the MJ!! A couple of them had 6-8oz on opposing sides!!! The freakin' kid put on too much weight and instead of removing part of it, he added more to the otherside to compinsate. I was rushed so I only complained, but left them on. Know what...the damn things run REALLY SMOOTH!!!! :doh: :doh: :doh:

I totally understand your feeling of being lonely... not too many looking at mine either.

 

I totally dig the green! Almost painted my old truck that same color but sold it instead. Cool truck though... I like the "business only" look! Simple, no frills... awesome!

I'm a huge fan of the grey, but that military green looks awesome

[one_bad_MJ]

i like this alot almost what I'm looking to do with my mj do you think i could go with a smaller lift for 33s like a 4.5 or do your 33s just fit with the 6.5

[Squeegy410]

So you used a paint roller like you paint the inside of a house with? My uncle did that with some candy apple red on his f250 :doh: it looked really bad. Does yours look rough up close? It looks fine from where it is but it seems like it would have to be rough up close :dunno: With that color it shouldnt be bad though :thumbsup:
