bowtieuser Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Ok i've been addin stuff to my Comanche for a wheelin trip to Haspin Memorial Day weekend and things are going good. i now have lights and grill guard on front ,lights underneath on sides and out back,and a set of lights shining in bed. So as i've been gettin things ready i've been tryin things out of course and I'm not crazy about my turning radius are they all this way or am i just used to my Tj? I don't remember my other Mj's being like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geonovast Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Is it the same both directions? Your steering box may be off center. TJ is going to have a much better turning radius because it's so much shorter, so you may just be jaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtieuser Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 yea its the same both ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Its just an TJ vs. MJ thing. I notice the same thing when switching from my TJ and long bed MJ. The MJ turning radius has never bothered me while wheeling though. Just make sure your touching the steering stops at full lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I swapped in a ZJ steering gear box and it helped a lot with the wide turning radius on my LWB. Not only is the ZJ box a quicker steering ratio, but the internal stops allow a bit more turns lock-to-lock. And the WJ LCAs prevent any tire rubbing.

JFAComanche6 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I felt like my MJ's turning radius sucked, your not the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Never really noticed any issues with my turning radius. I can turn around in my driveway just fine. Is it just an LWB thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I've had issues with my lwb's turning radius, but only due to the fact that we're not allowed to reverse into parking spots in my lot at school, and, because most students are dumbasses and don't drive all the way into their spots, the aisle between the stalls is less than a car length wide. In winter at times it's barely wide enough to drive through, let alone park in one of the spots. This is the only place I've found turning radius to be an issue, and I'm not the only one who's complained about that lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexia Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 The turning radius on my MJ is better than my LJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
