Kalle's 1988 Comanche 2.5 4-Banger 2Wd The Build #3

[500kalle]

 

Coil springs, wedges, trackbar bracket, u-bolts came from fat bob's garage, adjustable shackles from IRONMAN-products, Rough Country shocks and longer swaybar endlinks and so on arrived too, an old wrangler cj spent a pair of leafs and so I was able to lift the mj for 5'' !!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My second waggi-grill arrived ;-)))

and I installed 30x9,5-15 AT's on 15x7 factory built steel rims:

 

 

 

 

 

Cause I hate camper-tops, I sold it and bought&installed a cover to the bedliner:

 

 

 

 

 

I constructed a support from alloy material to help the bedliners cover/tarp to fight against the weight of rain, ice and snow, if I want I will be able to take it off in half a minute and put it in the bed !!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some stainless steel body cosmetics :-)))))

 

 

 

 

 

A new engine shock had been painted before installing ;-)

 

 

 

 

 

Swaybar and brackets are fresh painted and installed with new rubber bearings:

 

 

 

 

Wheel swap into 31x10,5-15 on 15x8  powder coated MANGELS steel rims:

 

 

 

 

 

Yesterday I installed the cargo light that my good friend BROCK HANSEN sent from the united states to my house in germany:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So what are you guys thinking about my report?

If you like it, I will post more mj-mods in the future!!!

Sorry!!

That it looking good, nice work.  Thanks for sharing I hope I have permission to borrow some of your ideas. I really like the console on the headliner. How is it attached?

[500kalle]

It's attached by tapping screws to the alloy sheet where it's sitting on!!!!!!

Sweet dude!  You really like that red and black combination don't you?  Looks real good I would ditch that bed cover but that's just me.  Sweet MJ though! :thumbsup:

On The pics you may See that I changed The Instrument Cluster into a 1989s Xj's 4.0 one, incl the Senders!!

Everything Works Fine but The tach!!

There Must be some Kind of adjustable resistor at The back of The tach, so one may adjust it to The 2.5 Engine!!

But I didn't find that adjustable resistor, does anyone here knows what it Looks like/where I may find it/how to adjust?????

sweet build and love the waggy grill, what paint did you use on the interior and hows it holding up?

[500kalle]

I Used tamiya Lexan Color for The Hard Plastc Parts, Dashboard and Steering column, for The doorpanels I Took some Special leather Paint!!

It all Holds up very Good!!!!

The wooden Parts I grinded with 2000 wet Sandpapier First and then sprayed with acrylic clear Coat!!

The headliner console was sprayed with acrylic Color and clearcoat!!
