flanders_mj Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Hej Micke, Välkommen! Jag talar också lite svenska ... Always nice to see someone else from around here. :wink: Although you probably live at least 1.000 kilometres from here. Greetings from Belgium, Joris. Edit : there's a Norwegian forum-member too I believe. His nickname is 512tr or something like that.
heralue Posted February 13, 2006 Author Posted February 13, 2006 Nic e clean looking MJ. What are your plans for it? BTW welcome to the forum Patrick I'm planning to change the position of the rear springs, SOA. Could someone give me an useful adress ? I will build new bumpers in front and rear and I will also mount a winch.
rjontzen Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 welcome to the group..by the way describe the vehicle in the avatar ...it looks similar to the super seven s4 i'm rebuilding....
heralue Posted February 13, 2006 Author Posted February 13, 2006 welcome to the group..by the way describe the vehicle in the avatar ...it looks similar to the super seven s4 i'm rebuilding.... It's a replica that I have build on my own. It took me 4,5 year from the day I started to cut tubes to the day it was accepted by The Swedish Vehicle Inspection Company. I have done everything on my own except painting. It has a Fiat Twin-cam engine 1995 cm3 and 130 hp. /micke
heralue Posted April 15, 2006 Author Posted April 15, 2006 Lets go SOA !!! Now I started to build my Comanche !!
Guest Posted April 15, 2006 Posted April 15, 2006 It looks very nice Micke. I like it!!!!! I like that chrome front bumper and grille. Is it a "for export" version or "for non regulated markets"? I have a 1988 with the 2,5 lts in Argentina for this condition. I am an Argentine forum member. Fernando
heralue Posted April 16, 2006 Author Posted April 16, 2006 Before I had 84 cm between floor and fender flare. Now it´s 103 cm :lol:

pingpong Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 I am sorry that I didn't read this post sooner. My tip would have been to support your jeep with some tall and strong jack stands. Then undo your u-bolts (I just cut them off) Then undo brake line, and e-brake cables. Then undo rear shackle mount at the axle. Then roll the axle back. Then bolt rear shackle back up Position rear axle under leaf spings, with spring perches set in place Aim pinion at the back of the t-case, loosley bolting the u-bolts in place. Remove jackstands. Check pinion angle at ride height. Adjust as needed Tack weld, then remove axle again to preform finsih weld. For strength I recommend plating the front and rear of the spring perches. After that you will find that your stock shock location (long bed) will be pretty useless. Then make or buy new shock mounts. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I am sure I forgot a few steps, but this swap can be accomplished in a few hours if you have all the parts and the skills to do it.

pingpong Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Unfortunately no. I am not real big on taking pics when doing fab work.
heralue Posted June 7, 2006 Author Posted June 7, 2006 The lift is 5,5" or 6" .... Maybe some pictures later this week
JeepcoMJ Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 nice manche, i like the plans for the front bumper too man.
speed_racer Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Nice bumper design, glad to see you have big plans for it. Thinking about axle upgrades and tire combos yet?! Also, I can't see but red X's on any pics other than the stock one of ur MJ....
feerocknok Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Also, I can't see but red X's on any pics other than the stock one of ur MJ.... They work for me. Nice bumper design. Are you going to just bend steel sheets?
heralue Posted April 12, 2007 Author Posted April 12, 2007 Nice bumper design. Are you going to just bend steel sheets? I have a nice watercutting machine at my job.... Easy to feed with drawings from Pro/E
