How are you liking the PSC ram setup?? How does it handle on the road?

I loved it! This was my first outing with it, hell I only put 20 miles on it before I hit the road. It's totally silent. No groanjng even at full lock.

Edit:I only have the PSC pump and res. No ram or box yet.

Great to hear! What about driving with it on the road though? Would it still be Daily drivable?

100% Feels stock (or what stock should feel like) Pump was prob overkill but I've burned 2 stock pumps up wheeling so I just wanted to go all in on it.

FWIW to ya, looks like your rear shocks are upside down.

They are technically but Bilstein says the preformance difference due to orientation is so minuscule it's a non-issue. I put them this way so the shaft was tucked up and away.

Sucks Photobucket killed my thread :/ Been doing little things here and there to the Comanche. Today I installed an Iron Rock Off-road xj transfercase skid. It is intended for their crosssmember but I took a chance and it worked perfect with the Clayton crossmember.

Been tinkering with the PSC stuff when I've had time. Got a wild hair and decided to swap out the single diaphragm booster with a dual setup from a WJ. That opened a whole new can of worms with fitting the PSC remote res. I'm powering through it though.

Thought I had it all figured out with this trick -3an set up, but the hoses were in the way of the reservoir.

So I tried again..

I got the right hoses this time. Also got the braided brake line kit for the 8.8 from ECGS

Spill the Beans on those braided lines for the WJ booster. Where did you get em? Did they come with the correct fittings already on them for the MJ dist block?

I came up with that cause I was having bad luck with the hardline lol

The hose is earls speed-flex hose -3an with 1 90 degree fitting. Then I got the proper adapters to go from the -3an to master cylinder and the distribution block. I can't remember the sizes off the top of my head but I know the front fitting on the WJ master was a b*@$£ to find. I ended up getting that one on eBay I do know.

Finished up the trans lines today. Snapped some pics along the way.

You didn't happen to write-up a list of all the AN fittings and lines you used for the AW4 tranny cooler replacement lines you used did you?

Nice build up.    I like how it doesn't look over the top, but still very functional.   

 

 

P.S. all your pics worked for me.

Thanks! I put a lot of thought into my mods before I pull the trigger on buying parts. It's hard to keep the balance of drivability and off road capability.

My truss made it yesterday. Still have to order some mini skids and maybe a upper control arm reinforcing plate, then out comes the axles for some welding and a nice coat of paint. I just like having things to tinker with all the time.

This axle is my inspiration for my truss purchase. Looks really clean.

Hey I gotta ask just curious, what is the reason for this truss on the axle?

Went to move it last week end and the battery was a gonner. Basically it imploded on its self. Was gonna get the same one again but read some review and other had the same issue, so I decided to get an odyssey. A5638713-2B91-489E-AABB-2CC3E45D628D.jpeg.f9433405f2c4d5bd2a03456f7fd66eda.jpeg

Now that the battery has been taken care of I was able to move the Comanche into its new home!2517EBB3-391D-474C-9106-85326102D9AB.jpeg.41c2f13f4e874e6462282c74334d8fdd.jpeg

Took all summer but I finally finished.

Well after a long hiatus I’m back working on the Jeep. Added a few things the last few weeks. New fuel hoses and a spin on filter in place of the stock one. Fox steering dampener. And the one I’m most excited for, Rockjock antirock bar!
