Recommended Posts

  • 2 months later...

Where abouts in Oregon are you?

 

I'm moving to Portland or possibly Vancouver in a few weeks. Nice Jeep those coils flex good.

 

Got a pic of how you did the shackle setup for the front. Glad to see your got some fw, you'll be happeir you did.

 

Yup, finally sorry it took so long, took a while getting funds. Custom bracket for the shackles.

Went through the axles, all new brakes, 37x12.5 military tires, and now upgrading the tie-rod to heim joints also and it will be ready to wheel.

Thanks, nice Jeep.

We will be neighbors, i live in Kalama which is just north of Vancouver but I work in Portland.

 

Awesome to hear Comanche Fanatic! Check it out, and then read down, it still needs some work:

Throw out bearing is whining, reverse pops out and 2nd wants to. Not sure if the lift caused the shift issues or whining.  I assume it's the Peugeot transmission. Not sure if the Peugeot is worth investing in, considering looking into AX-15.

 

Also the front driveshaft hits the tranny crossmember. I need a custom crossmember, or CV driveshaft. Any suggestions?

ax15 be best to replace the puke. the peagot trans is a split case down the center length wise if need to varify which you have. front driveshaft is a cv already unless you want a double carden joint aty each end but should be able to make a crossmember and put a notch in it where the driveshaft is hitting. just be sure your not over flexing and start blowing driveshafts due to binding. limit straps and bump stops go a along way in saving parts.
