88whitemanche Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 50" led light bar finally installed Uni-brow status
88whitemanche Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 Hopefully this weekend if I got some time I'll get started on the double booster upgrade and eliminating the load sensing valve
88whitemanche Posted July 16, 2016 Author Posted July 16, 2016 Well today I was finally able to get the wj booster and master cylinder in...and tried deleting the load sensing valve but fell into a weird spot.... I originally plugged the front portion of the distribution block.. Then plugged another spot down in the back of the truck where the load sensing valve is located.... When I went to bleed the brakes there was no fluid coming out and my dad still had his foot on the brake pedal. Hmmm weird..., I went back to the distribution block and removed the plugged section and fluid gushed out as my dad still had his foot on the brake..., I plugged that back in and removed the bottom portion of the block which leads to the rear brakes at the diff and my dad pushed the pedal and it got stiff and no fluid came out... Weird, as I just noticed I've been driving around for 2 weeks or God knows how long with no rear brakes!!!! So what I did was used the brake line to the sensing valve to the back and rerouted that line to use straight to the rear diff and plug the bottom of the distribution block... Which I'm going to do later down the week... No pics as I was trying to get it done but ran into that problem...Ill get more pics when I get back to the truck
gogmorgo Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 I think this is normal, no? Maybe someone else can confirm, but I believe the main rear brake line goes through the height valve, and the other line only opens if there's a fault in the front brakes.

Maybe someone else can confirm, but I believe the main rear brake line goes through the height valve, and the other line only opens if there's a fault in the front brakes. Well that's going to change...hoping to get equal pressure front and rear with the wj booster and master cylinder and 8.25 disc swap in the future....
88whitemanche Posted July 18, 2016 Author Posted July 18, 2016 Brakes are done! Let's just say this thing brakes better than my 98 xj...wow! I suggest this to anyone that wants to add the wj booster and master cylinder and sensing valve delete..... Also the lines cleared the window washer bottle... Ah and added a 6" billet antenna...
88whitemanche Posted August 28, 2016 Author Posted August 28, 2016 So I took off the iro double shear track bar off the Xj and put it on the Comanche... The rubicon express track bar I bought a while back I put it on the Xj with the drop bracket I got off amazon for a steal...
88whitemanche Posted August 31, 2016 Author Posted August 31, 2016 Finally got a pic of this Comanche that's been strolling along my neighborhood... Every time I've seen it I can't get my phone out to take the pic in time till now and still barely got it because I was walking my dog in the rain...
88whitemanche Posted September 20, 2016 Author Posted September 20, 2016 So I've been saving up for gears for the 8.25 and for the actual install... I came across a deal on some 35s! Can't wait to get them installed but it'll have to wait until Friday! Also my ruffstuff Dana 30 diff cover came in!
88whitemanche Posted September 23, 2016 Author Posted September 23, 2016 Sneak peak...35s! Definitely need to bump stop up front and rear but no rubbing except a bit on the front inner pinch Seam but other than that I'm loving the stance...
88whitemanche Posted September 26, 2016 Author Posted September 26, 2016 Best pic I have with the truck on 35s... It's been raining all weekend

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thank you! You'll never look back after the upgrade
88whitemanche Posted October 8, 2016 Author Posted October 8, 2016 Took a pic of self motivation plus I was bored at work lol...
88whitemanche Posted October 14, 2016 Author Posted October 14, 2016 Beautiful Truck!Thank you sir, Well plans didn't come as I expected, Code inspector came by and told me I had to get get rid of my jeep pile, or I'll pay a fine, so 8.25 is out of the build plans and amc 20 is going back in....and store the rest of my stuff in a storage unit until I buy a 8x10 storage unit) Just gotta find a weekend to do it....most likely the end of October because time change is coming soon and I'll need as much daylight to get this axle in...
88whitemanche Posted October 24, 2016 Author Posted October 24, 2016 Dana 35 is out- amc 20 in place, will button up the rest tomorrow after work, main goal today was to get the axle under the truck.. an hour and a half isn't that bad is it? Sucks that I have to do it again but it's all worth it at the end right? And after a few years of ordering I rockauto to try and get This specific magnet and I guess the stars aligned, I finally got it! Whoo!
88whitemanche Posted November 11, 2016 Author Posted November 11, 2016 I know I bashed the poly brown dog motor mounts for being to rough (too much vibration) but I decided to give the rubber ones a chance, considering I was looking the other day that the tip of the bolt for the passenger side motor mount is only about 1/2"-3/4"away from the alternator power wire. I decided to get the mounts for stability and if I'm offoroading I don't want issues later down the line....
