88whitemanche Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 How do u like that winch? Hows the performance by far?
Blue88Comanche Posted November 21, 2012 Author Posted November 21, 2012 How do u like that winch? Hows the performance by far? I havent used it much, but it effortlessly pulled solid oak log out of the bushes. for the price it is a good winch.
88whitemanche Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Cool I think I may have one for the same reasons...but u never know when u might need one...for any reason lol...
Blue88Comanche Posted November 23, 2012 Author Posted November 23, 2012 I bought mine for yard work and whatnot more so than off road use. So I did not really need anything fancy
Blue88Comanche Posted December 2, 2012 Author Posted December 2, 2012 Removed the transmission for the first time. I was able to replace the internal clutch slave with the help of dad.
Blue88Comanche Posted December 3, 2012 Author Posted December 3, 2012 put the fluids in yesterday and drove it home on its own power. I am very pleased. I also found an external slave bell housing at the pick and pull i plan to snag this weekend, i will be able to rid myself of the cursed internal clutch slave once and for all :banana:
Blue88Comanche Posted February 6, 2013 Author Posted February 6, 2013 Dad and I swapped my front axle the other day. I can finally use 4wd again! the extra comanche tailgate makes a nice work bench / tool tray Dad snapped a picture of me I hate spring compressors removed the old axle (left) and getting ready to install the "new" one (right) I plan to swap on some WJ lower control arms so I trimmed the area around the LCA a little aligning up the LCA finished axle swap!
88whitemanche Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 If you don't mind me asking? What was wrong with the other axle?
Blue88Comanche Posted February 6, 2013 Author Posted February 6, 2013 If you don't mind me asking? What was wrong with the other axle? nothing was wrong with it, just needed matching gears. Last year I took Dads D44 (3.55 gears) and swapped it with my D35 (3.07 gears). It was cheaper to replace the front axle than to re-gear it. The old D30 (also 3.07) will be put on to dads MJ this weekend hopefully.
Blue88Comanche Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 Replaced the windshield wiper motor and the magic little box for the intermittent setting. I can now drive safely in the rain again!
Blue88Comanche Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 Ordered new Dana 30 C/V axle shafts yesterday, and should be able to install them Sunday if the weather clears up. more info here
Blue88Comanche Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 Ordered an Aussie locker for the D44 today!
Blue88Comanche Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 finally was able to use my winch on something other than a small log.
Blue88Comanche Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 I swapped out the old D30 shafts yesterday, I was trying to fix a clanking sound thought to be caused by the u-joints on the shafts, they turned out to be fine. Replaced them with CV style joints, I love how these new joints drive in full time! My D44 Aussie locker comes in tomorrow can't wait to get it
Blue88Comanche Posted February 19, 2013 Author Posted February 19, 2013 Any more pics of the install? I forgot to take pictures... But the swap was super simple
Blue88Comanche Posted February 19, 2013 Author Posted February 19, 2013 Got something in the mail today!
Blue88Comanche Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 The shackles installed on the MJ And because I figured it would not hurt anything I removed the non working clock and installed a Vacuum guage as it turns out i have a non-clock insert in the parts MJ i could have used, would have saved a little time and there won't be a hole where the clock display was... But that will give me something to do on the weekend.
Blue88Comanche Posted April 9, 2013 Author Posted April 9, 2013 So my new tag came in the other day :banana:
Blue88Comanche Posted April 22, 2013 Author Posted April 22, 2013 I decided it was time to do something about my windshield trim, so i bought a can of plastidip. Before: After: I also decided to touch up the side vents before: After:
zackcj7 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Did you use plastidip on the side vents too? Or is that something else?
HOrnbrod Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Looking good. It looks like you have the newer style windshield wipers installed, si?
