Project "Moab Worthy" build.

[RockinMJ]

Picked up a Dana 44 from a comanche today. Got from a guy on a local board. Had some help from my little jeep girls. They really want me to paint this jeep pink. Haha

[RockinMJ]

Will be pressure washing the jeep down on Sunday to get ready for some interior paint and engine bay paint. Hope will be picking up another Comanche this week as a bed donor. The paint I'm going with is hammered gray. I love this color. Here is a sample on the crap bed.

[Alexia]

Glad to see you are still working on it. Lots to do still!

[RockinMJ]

Finally got the parts comanche for the bed. The wife is so happy. Haha .

[RockinMJ]

Started stripping down the cherokee tonight. Let the conversion begin.

[RockinMJ]

[Alexia]

Planning on sticking with the black or a full repaint? :D

[RockinMJ]

Not really sure yet.

[RockinMJ]

Started taking off doors and interior. Just hope I can remember where everything goes. Haha.

[RockinMJ]

Got a little more work done today. Got console, seats, passenger door ,trim and seatbelts out of the cherokee. I need like a sraight week off so I can focus on working on this project instead a couple hours at a time.

I took the entire last week of this month off for partly that reason. :D

 

I recommend putting every set of fasteners into a zipper bag labelled for what part they belong to. I have everything and not lost any of it yet.

[jimoshel]

Be nice if you were a little closer. I'd really like to give you a hand on that truck. Lookin' good.

[Comanche County]

Yeah nice work!

[RockinMJ]

Thanks guys. Well got some work done on the Comanche tonight. Had 2 hours of good work. Finally finished pulling the dash. Not fun at all. All these pictures i see on here of the conversions i think to my myself that looks easy. Haha. Will be worth it in the end. I sold my old moabs with 35's a while back to purchase my cherokee for the conversion. I had just decided i was going to just run some steel wheels and then last weekend i stumbled across some more moabs. Called the guy and ended up getting 5 for 50 bucks. can't beat that. I couldnt have gotten 1 steel wheel for that.

Great score on the Moabs, look to be the polished 03/04 variety.

 

You will get good at removing and installing the dash after doing it 20 times or so :)

[H3RESQ]

Looking good! Get it done by aug/sept and meet me in Moab next year!!

[RockinMJ]

That would be awesome. Hope it will be ready by then.

[RockinMJ]

Got a little work done. Got both hoods off. Both cowl covers and wipes. Removed the radiator. Having trouble removing ac line.

 

[RockinMJ]

Finally got ac out tonight. Pretty much got all wiring undone and will hopefully got it all pulled tomorrow. Goal is to have comanche running by the end of the year.

 

[RockinMJ]

Finally got to do some work tonight. Pulled the rest of the wiring harness. Unbolted motor mounts hopefully will be able to pull motor, transmission ,and transfer case this week.

[RockinMJ]

Little something for the comanche today. Best Buy had a smoking deal on them.

[RockinMJ]
