Comanche County Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 That J10 is a 3/4 ton J20. The D44HD front and matching D60 rear are good swap material even if the front is a pre-'80 pass. side drop. They are not as wide as most trucks. Swap a D300 x-fer onto the back of a 4x4 AW4, stick those axles on... :wrench: Yup, those things would have rode home with me! Now go back and get em! :wrench: Currently have 3 D44s sitting out back,,,,just need more MJs to put them in! Good job on your MJ, its coming along nicely! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 time for an oil change :wrench: the parts off with the old doesnt look too bad inside new k&n oil filter all back together, threw a new valve cover gasket on as well blower stopped working, pulled the controls to find this, replaced the box and spliced the wires in. also wired in a cigar lighter all together :D then, as i was backing out of my drive way for a late night 7-11 run, this happened. :roll: cop who happened to roll up beside me for gas stood there scratching their head trying to figure out what happened :dunno: , i guess thats what i get for leaving jugs full of oil right beside the comanche :thumbsup: jeep on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancheKid86 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 update, chewed through 2 serpentine belts doing light driving in the last 2 days :fs1: drove it home one night, then the next time i couldnt make it home, so i went to my gf's house where i fixed it after i got a ride into the next town to get parts :D my new alternator is the culprit, the pulley on it didnt line up with the tensioner or power steering pump, its all fixed now but not before it tore my dayco poly rib belt to shreds =[ i had to remove the stock alternator spacer and spin it around, (on the right where the bolt is) and on the left i had to put 2 washers in to keep every thing nice and tight. 3 washers in the bottom behind the 90 degree flange ( same width as the 2 uptop) and then 3 washers behind the alternator pulley itself (they were such a tight fit i had to drive them past the threads) everything is lined up perfectly now :jump: more to come, here's a pic of a comanche that rolled up to my work. 1989 renix 4.0l blue, he is the second owner of this comanche and has owned it for 20 years now :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
