gogmorgo Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 It works the other way too. Your summer heat is hell for me. Given the option, I'll take the temperature extreme where you can keep adding layers to stay warm... There's only so many you can remove, and it still doesn't prevent cooking in your own juices!
benjy_26 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Lol True. I can operate in heat, though. The secret is to NOT remove all your layers, wear a hat, and stay hydrated. If you do that, yoh can get around when it's 110° with no issues.
BlackBeast Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Freaking Cold!!!! Wow and I think it's cold here at 8 degrees!
Comanchel0ver Posted January 21, 2015 Author Posted January 21, 2015 finally got around to taking pictures of the mounts for the fans and power steering, Top of the fans is nothing special just self tapping screws into the rad support: For the power steering i cut the piece it originally bolted to which was part of the mount for the old rad and couldnt be reused with the wider inline six rad. then just bent up some steel i had laying around: the bottom of the fans are bolted to a piece of light duty L-channel and secured to the frame: Theres so much room for activities now without the clutch fan and the rad sitting underneath the rad support, i also like how much higher the bottom of the rad is compared to the 4 cylinder one even with the skidplate i feel like a stick or something could have caught the bottom of it from the side:
88whitemanche Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Looks great I've been wanting to do this mod for a while now..... What fans did you use? Also what switch or fan controller are you using for this swap?
Comanchel0ver Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 Looks great I've been wanting to do this mod for a while now..... What fans did you use? Also what switch or fan controller are you using for this swap? The fans came out of this badboy: I'm pretty sure they are mishimotos, 12" maybe?? I blew the turbo on it a little while ago at the drift track and have been waiting for the finances to do an upgrade. And right now they are just wired to the power for my blower motor it was the closest easiest thing to slice to and still came on with the key. will do it to a temp sensor in the future just didnt have one on hand. right now i can adjust the rad fan speed with the blower motor speed :yes:
Comanchel0ver Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 Sliding around the backroads so much has got me thinking: i need to build a drift comanche. 2wd lowered welded rear axle. ive been infatuated with the autocross xj since i first saw it and i could definitely use some of their techniques from their build thread.
Comanchel0ver Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 Another huge snowstorm here in alberta managed to find some deep spots Also finally completed my swap from idiot light cluster to gauge cluster with the instalation of a new temperature sending unit, finally have a working temp gauge
Crash Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 For bumper, I would say just pick up or make a set of the extended "sandwiched" brackets like jcr and other aftermarket companies sell.
Comanchel0ver Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 Had a great day of exploring about a week ago, I'm back in kamloops British Columbia and the forest service and mining roads out here are just endless. But unfortunately the adventure wasnt without its casualties.... That's the remainder of my ecu after a stick got lodged up into my engine bay somehow and tore some wires attached to this plug causing it to short or ground out. anyone know what that's even for?? luckily i found a computer not too far away in Prince George. Auto wrecker put it on a bus for me and it arrived yesterday. guy told me it was out of a 90 cherokee but clearly written on it is 88 cherokee :doh: installed it and now she's purring like a walrus. old computer: new computer: Also took the opportunity to rewire my electric fans to a switch instead of jury rigged to the blower motor power like its been.
Comanchel0ver Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 Went on more adventures today. followed this FSR road up greenstone mountain at the end it turned into a full on trail, met some ATVers on the trails they gave me quite the look. For the last kilometer the road turned to trail and was pretty rocky. At the end was a pretty steep and rocky climb the picture doesn't do it too much justice. The original point of the expedition was to scope potential mountain bike lines. Here is a road gap on the trail And now pictures . :MJ 1: . There was a little guest book to sign if you made it up to the top. There was really only one way to sign it :
Comanchel0ver Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 :help: Also ive been noticing that when I'm going up or even on flat ground that is rough or washboard road and I'm on the throttle I'm getting alot of rear axle hop. I'm sure my shocks are blown so ill start there. any other common causes of bad axle hop? it doesnt happen if I'm coasting downhill in a strait line but it does if i turn on the washboard.
Jeep Driver Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Everyone gets rear wheel hop under those circumstances. 4WD solves that problem.
Comanchel0ver Posted December 23, 2015 Author Posted December 23, 2015 Got sick of having my headlights, signals and tag lights all different colors of white so i wrapped them all in some yellow tint i had left over. i personally like it don't see too many jeeps with yellow lights.
Comanchel0ver Posted December 23, 2015 Author Posted December 23, 2015 Also did some snow wheeling with my brother and his 3" lifted xj. The old manche flexes pretty good for stock.
Comanchel0ver Posted December 23, 2015 Author Posted December 23, 2015 Video of a little hill climb we found.
Comanchel0ver Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 Finally got around to fabricating myself a rear bumper for the ol manche. Went with a tubular design using some old 1 3/4" x 1/8" drill pipe my dad picked up for $0.30 a foot. 2x4x1/8" box channel for the mounts, took the weld on route for mounting. The shackle hangers are made out of some other scrap i can't remember how thick. Initially didnt have the plate with the holes but after my brother did his bumper and rock sliders i had to.
zetabird Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 thats pretty neat, i do like the punched plate over it,
Doc. Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 First time to check out this post. If you care, non of your old photos work.
Comanchel0ver Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 First time to check out this post. If you care, non of your old photos work. Thanks I think i figured it out they should be working again.
gogmorgo Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Go back to each post, hit edit (lower right corner), remove the old broken pic(s), and put the proper one(s) in. Can't guarantee it's the exact reason, but occasionally image hosts modify their directory paths a bit, so the url changes. More often than not when that's the case, you can figure out how they changed the url and use the text-based editor (for the post) to change them all directly without having to look up each if the pics.
