CaffeineTripp Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Topic as it says. What are two major things, and three minor things you would change about your Comanche? I.E. Major: Engine, aspiration, transmission, body, etc. I.E. Minor: Headlights, interior, exterior (paint, bumpers, etc.), wheels. Ready and go!
Automan2164 Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Major: Don't make them anymore, Extended Cab Minor: Black interior, hidden winch, electric lockers. All of this should be factory. Rob :dunno:
jimoshel Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 If there were anything about a MJ that I didn't like, I wouldn't get it.
Dadinator Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Everything worked would be first. (Almost there)
CaffeineTripp Posted December 31, 2011 Author Posted December 31, 2011 I think for the major part of it would be rebuilding the engine/swapping out for a later model longblock. Not that it needs it, but once it's done, it'll last another 150,000 easy...and have it's power back, if it had it at all. Secondly, put in a 5 speed transmission instead of the 4 speed. Minor stuff. New windshield as it's all cracked to hell, door latch for the driver's side because it doesn't close fully, and tires. That'd about do it. Body's too far gone to worry about it anymore. :dunno:
Dirteatr717 Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Rust!!! Axles internals, shafts, lockers and probably 4.56s :D Working radio, nice paint and new master cylinder and clutch pedal assembly, mine leaks and all the bushings are shot :roll:
shelbyluvv Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Have you seen my build threads? :hmm: I change everything!
86customanche Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Major: rebuild the 4.0 so it gives me another 200,000 (odometer reads about 220,000) fix all body work such as rust and dents and get it painted Minor: Clean interior, new tires, pass inspection :fs2:
Automan2164 Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Have you seen my build threads? :hmm: I change everything! Including owners! Buuuuut, I am just as bad. Rob :peek:
