wombat Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Since we do not have a pic section, I figured this was better put in the tech section because there will be a little bit of tech involved. I have an idea of what I want my comanche to look like, but its hard finding anything that is neither restored, or full on built. I will probably stay in the 31-33 inch tire size, mainly because I'm running a 2.5 and has no desire to up grade. I do however have a brand new set of 37's... I want to see pics of woods friendly truck's running these size tires (up to 37's) and know what lift and axel combinations your running. If your running a 2.5 you get bonus points, that are absolutly good for nothing. Thanks in advance. and if this needs to be moved to a place more suiting, have at it.
mnkyboy Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 I guess I get the bonus points. here's my 2.5l MJ,all the specs are in my signature.
wombat Posted November 28, 2014 Author Posted November 28, 2014 Nice rig. I read your build thread, was that MPI coming along?
mnkyboy Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Between moving and being swamped with work the MJ project has been neglected. I need to get it up on my lift so I can button up some stuff underneath then it should be ready to fire, just need to find some time. I plan to have it at the NAXJA NWfest in June so I need to get working on it.
mnkyboy Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 here's my brothers MJ. 4.0l,5spd, D44/14b,5.13s and both locked,6" lift, Clayton 3link front/soa rear, and 37s.
Minuit Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Don't have anything to contribute to your question but I think a "pic requests" section would be a great idea.
Incommando Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Basic rear SOA/front 5.5" lift using mainly Rubicon Express parts as listed in my sig. Short arm. Wheel wells cut and covered with TJ flares. Those are 32's but 35's fit just fine. Image Not Found This lift did not break the bank, falls somewhere between that stock/mild/restored and and "full on built" like you wanted. HP D30 up front. 29-spline 8.25 in the rear. 231 t-case. It works well both on-road and off. And it was fairly inexpensive to do this lift. It was several hundred dollars cheaper to build this lift than other SOA's I have seen once you made them complete with things like shocks. Here is a shot from the driver's seat showing the kind of trails that we have for about 80% of our 'wheeling. Bypasses are for wusses. I am sure you have seen tons of these where you are coming up out of a creek bed. Steeper than it looks but not really very tough. It is just the only shot like it I have so far. Also shot through the window. Taking it To Haspin Acres in Laural, IN tomorrow and maybe I will finally get some good pictures of it off-road.
wombat Posted November 28, 2014 Author Posted November 28, 2014 Thanks for the pics guys, and I look forward to more.
88whitemanche Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 I'll chime in.... 4.5 SUA LIFT with 32x11.5x15 BFG all terrains Short adjustable control arms... 2.5 4.10s....
willi2ds Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 SOA and a 6 1/2" lift up front, Dana 30 & a 8.25 w/ 4.56's I'm running 315/75 R16 (34") tires. Basically a lite 4wheeling/camping truck
Dirteatr717 Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 No bonus points for me but here's my 89 4.0,5spd, 231 with a mildly built 30 and Amc20 on 35" Km2s Clayton Longarms and Soa rear. It works for me and got me across the country without any issues
M1A1TankerTom Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 89 comanche, 4.0, AW4, dana 30 front, dana 44 rear, 3 link front, four link rear, around 6.5 inches of lift, 35 inch tires.
badazzelanore Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 What camper shell is this? SOA and a 6 1/2" lift up front, Dana 30 & a 8.25 w/ 4.56's I'm running 315/75 R16 (34") tires. Basically a lite 4wheeling/camping truck
jbain Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 When this pic was taken this was what I was running. SOA in the back 4.5 inches up front Dana 30 Front 8.8 our back with 4.88's 36x12.50 Swamper SX's
willi2ds Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Badazzelanore- it's a Century topper. (Craigslist find)
Incommando Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 I got to take the MJ out. Here are a couple of pics of it off-road. It flexes much better in reality than on an RTI ramp. I may try to take it further but I think this would work for all but the harder-core MJ'ers. [/url] Nothing crazy or hardcore but for a daily driver capable truck I think it holds its own especially if cost is a factor
