RynoMJ Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 I'm looking at buying an MJ only i won't be registering it till after i restore it, so I'm wondering how wide the comanche really is and would i be able to fit it on a trailer that i can rent?
jbhill Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 yea itll fit on a reg. trailer. here's mine on an 18 foot car trailer. its closer on the left side then the right so yea.
88swampedmj Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 mine is wider than his and still fit on a regular trailer 18 footer i think, i have 33x13.5 swampers on mine and it fit .. it was close but fit haha
JeepcoMJ Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 yea itll fit on a reg. trailer. here's mine on an 18 foot car trailer. its closer on the left side then the right so yea. So i see the lowrider will be RHD. where did you come up with the dash and firewall for that? or are you custom making it? i've been wanting to convert my MJ to RHD if i could ever find a 97 plus RHD cherokee for a donor...
JeepcoMJ Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 JeepcoMJ, Do you tow with a Ford Ranger? nope, that's blasphomous. why do you ask?
Kenosha Warrior Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 JBHill does :brows: but the sheer weirdity of his MJ makes up for it.,
jbhill Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 haha yea i tow w/ it sometimes. its rated at towin 5600 lbs so i figured ynot. o and trailer brakes are my friend lol. i got the dash from http://www.discountjeepparts.com/index. ... /3121_3128 and the instruement cluster bezel from http://www.teamgrandwagoneer.com/cgi-bi ... hand+drive i didnt get the cluster cuz it was HELLA expensive, plus all i needed was the shell anyways. i still gota get the lower part of the dash(gona try to mod the LHD stuff to work) but the dash i got was new in the box so i can't complain.
warf90 Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Sorry JeepcoMJ, I guess I got confused with the repost of the picture. I was just curious how the ranger towed, thats all.
JeepcoMJ Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 haha, it's all good. just for future reference, I HATE ford. i really don't wanna go ford 8.8 rear on my truck but those disc brakes and that strength....well, i may overcome a little bit of my hate...
jbhill Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 yea my ranger has 4:10 gears and trac loc front and rear :D o and a an 8.8 w/ 31 spline axles :D here's the dash pic
JeepcoMJ Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 yea my ranger has 4:10 gears and trac loc front and rear :D o and a an 8.8 w/ 31 spline axles :D here's the dash pic :bowdown: OK that settles it, I'm doing that conversion on at least 1 mj. just emailed on the dash, but i wish they didn't just have woodgrain bezels. They're checking on a black one for me before I order it :D
jbhill Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 i wanted the wood grain so i can paint it body color :D its smooth so all i got do is wetsand it and paint it!
JeepcoMJ Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 i wanted the wood grain so i can paint it body color :D its smooth so all i got do is wetsand it and paint it! ah, good point. I would just paint it black myself. but that's just me. so where are the footwells gonna be on that thing? isn't the frame gonna run right through them?
jbhill Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 na its all gona be hand made, the floor will only be a bout 3 in higher then stockw/ a really small tranny tunnel.
JeepcoMJ Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 na its all gona be hand made, the floor will only be a bout 3 in higher then stockw/ a really small tranny tunnel. that's not too bad. I knew you were making it yourself, just wasn't sure how you were gonna go about getting a foot well in the thing. i thought the frame would be in the way. by the way, how low to the ground is it going to be? the pics showed it literally resting on the ground...how is that gonna work? air bags?
jbhill Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 yup shes got airbags front and rear. and yes it does sit all the way on the ground ;)
JeepcoMJ Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 yup shes got airbags front and rear. and yes it does sit all the way on the ground ;) :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: i bow to your enginuity and skills. when's it gonna be finished?
jbhill Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 hopefullay all sheetmetal work done in a couple months.
