89eliminator Posted March 28, 2009 Author Posted March 28, 2009 well i went to JeepCoMJ offroad park today.
500 MJ Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Looks like a fun place to be this time of year! I've still got rock hard snow up here. :doh:
89eliminator Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 yeah, we just got about 5" last night. most of it melted today though.
89eliminator Posted May 3, 2009 Author Posted May 3, 2009 got my limiting straps mounted also put new rear brake shoes in and rotated my tires
freakjeep93 Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 thats really nice comanche man and just for tyhe record all comanches look god red
89eliminator Posted May 5, 2009 Author Posted May 5, 2009 new bumpstop configuration. just adding extensions to the coil bucket did not work. the upper stop passed it up cause of the angle during flex. i split the difference, keeping the lower portion adjustable while adding an aluminum spacer to the upper stop. finally put my pins on for when the swaybar is disco'd limiting straps at ride height. was worried about them contacting the d-shaft or tire. The upper arm prevents it from hitting the shaft while the brake lines prevent it from hitting the tire.
1987JEEPMJ Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Whats that you have for pins for sway bar quick disco's? :idea: well i went to JeepCoMJ offroad park today.
89eliminator Posted May 6, 2009 Author Posted May 6, 2009 Whats that you have for pins for sway bar quick disco's? :idea: yup. came with the RE Gen2 discos
89eliminator Posted June 3, 2009 Author Posted June 3, 2009 steering box brace is in. won't have time till saturday to install it.
500 MJ Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Let me know what you think of that. I made my own cause I just didnt think that these ones looked beefy enough... Plus - it's not hard to make a new one if you have problems with this one, the clamp is the main thing I needed to make my own. Hopefully it works fine for you though.

89eliminator Posted July 8, 2009 Author Posted July 8, 2009 is it good when you pull an axle shaft and a bunch of steel balls come out too? the carnage
89eliminator Posted July 9, 2009 Author Posted July 9, 2009 no its not. still trying to figure out what went wrong. sucks cause i just replaced that bearing. maybe it was faulty cause everything was put together correct and it had enough oil in it.
MiNi Beast Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 no its not. still trying to figure out what went wrong. sucks cause i just replaced that bearing. maybe it was default cause everything was put together correct and it had enough oil in it. apparently not :shake: So that was the rear? when and where? what the hell details man, details?

Kind like my hubs, didn't go untill just driving around on the road, not beating on it offroad :shake: that's DD carnage right there :rotfl2:
jpdocdave Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 wow wade, i've never seen a rear wheel bearing fail, especially like that.
TNT Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 If you have a SYE did you raise the diff fill hole to compensate for the extra rotation of the diff. Rotating the pinion up lowers the fill hole. If thats a D44, I have a 3/8" thick cover with a raised fill hole. :cheers:
