Sorry about the quality of this one guys... I found a bad spot on the Laserdisc, but luckily by 1989, they were sending out duplicate VHS tapes.

 

:popcorn:

What was the optional off-road package he was speaking of? Don't think I'm familiar with that one.

[Automan2164]

I believe it included the front skid, t-case skid, gas tank skid, and an optional D44.

I don't think the off road package have the D44, that was only for the Big Ton or Metric Ton packages.

Nope. It was a standalone option, and IIRC, part of the offroad package.

He did say it was optional on the off-road package. I can buy that seeing as how I have come across a couple of MJs in the yard that had what looked to be a stock D44 underneath but they were not metric or big ton packages.

Right at 1:43. Such a clean engine!

Mine came from the factory with a D44 and gas filled shocks that they mention as part of the "off road package", but it didnt have skids. They mentioned the gas filled shocks "and other components" increased ground clearance. Anyone know what that means?

 

I ask because I can remember for years seeing other comanches on the road. My stock MJ always appeared to sit higher than other stock MJ's I have seen on the road. Even my wife noticed that. Is the axle tube thicker on a D44 or was there something else? I have destroyed the evidence now since my rusted busted factory f&r springs are long gone. It has been bugging me for years. I would love to get this question answered so I can get on with my life. Any theories anyone? :dunno:

I stand corrected, I have personally never seen them other than on the Big Ton/Metric Ton.
