BlackBeast Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Yea I would have bought tailgate when I got the seats but he wasn't parting out the whole truck then. It was to nice to part out. I can never have enough parts! I texted him last night on what's left. He stated he had to many projects so decided to give this 1 up...Congrats on your score of parts! I almost bought the doors myself.

BlackBeast Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I just saw his add the other night again after you said you got the stuff,so I had no clue otherwise. I would have made another trip that way. I wonder what he got for tailgate, probably just make me mad lol..
Crash Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Just read through your thread. Overall I like what you have done. I'm planning on going LSx, with Novak bits (Mounts, headers, rad, etc) I believe that the LSx with their shorty headers solves the UCA contact problem. I've always had the intention of running some lift though.Â

kansashogan Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 Â Â Here is a link to me driving on the gravel road in front on my house. Still needs a final tune but she's getting there.
kansashogan Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 Â Finally had a nice day to get some projects done. I got my booster upgrade done. The spacer I made was a hard rubber piece and it was 4 1/2 inches square with a 2 1/2 inch hole in the center. The bolt holes were 3 7/16 on center if I remember correctly. The little oval plate is the block off for the clutch master. I bought a 2004 Grand Cherokee overflow bottle. I like the way it fits. I need to make a bracket for the bottom mount still. Oh, and all the gauges work correctly. The speedo is close but I will have to put a Garmin in to see how close. The battery hold down is not much but they are hard to find around here in good condition. It cleaned up good.
kansashogan Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 Â I got the relays for the fans hooked up today. I ordered a black post to replace the red one I have on the ground side if anybody noticed. Put fenders and header panel on, install stereo and a few odds and ends and I will get it legal and start driving it.
Jeep Driver Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Very clean. Â Where'd you get the + - terminal at? and the relays?
kansashogan Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 Check out Mad Electrical website. I followed his advice by using the posts with power coming straight from alternator, supposed to be full power to acc. Getting ready to do a relay on headlights also.

kansashogan Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 Â Got my exhaust on today. Flowmaster 44's dumped in front of rear axle. Mellow with a little rumble.
kansashogan Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 Â Stereo put in. A Sony head unit and JBL door speakers so far.
kansashogan Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 Â Front sheet metal and different doors put back on. All new lights and grille.
kansashogan Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 Â Side view. Going to put everything but interior together and debug everything and try to get her painted in a couple months. We will see.
shelbyluvv Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Truck is looking good. You don't have to "quote" yourseld every time you post. Just type and hit post button.
Zebvance Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Looks great! Everything looks very well done. can't wait to see it complete
kansashogan Posted May 7, 2015 Author Posted May 7, 2015 800 miles and running good! I had knee surgery last week so can't do much for awhile but I have ordered a few parts for when I can.
kansashogan Posted August 21, 2015 Author Posted August 21, 2015 Haven't been on in awhile so I thought I would give an update. I have been battling a vibration above 65 mph and finally got it figured out. It was a slightly bent wheel. I put a used set of tires on it a while back and I guess when they were put back on the vehicle it was put on the right front. I did all the fixes on Comanche club but nothing did it and I told the wife I guess tires are next. When the kid was balancing them one of them wanted 7.5 oz. on the outside and 3.5 oz. on the inside. They told me I had a bent rim but I was skeptical. I want to keep my factory rims to be different so I ordered one off ebay and got it yesterday. Installed it today and sure enough it fixed it. Now why didn't the other tire shop notice the wheel wobbling? I guess they won't be getting any more of my money. To be fair it wasn't bent bad, but the other guys caught it right away. I have driven about 1600 miles so far and It runs good but the gas mileage sucks. 14 mpg is normal. Now on to the water leaks. I fixed a leak around the antenna cable and one above the fuse box but a little is still coming in up front and some I think around the back window or possibly through the slider. I love driving this little bugger and can't wait to get it painted. I'm thinking flat white with the rims painted silver. And one other detail I will wait to reveal. Not big but I think it will set it off.
ggcnash Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 How is the cooling system from Novak been working? I'm putting the parts together for a 5.3 swap now, gonna go with a car intake for hood clearance just wondering how there fans and rad are working for you? Thanks
kansashogan Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 They work really good. Our summer wasn't as hot as normal but I think the hottest I seen on the gauge was 185 degrees. They are quality parts.
RescueDuck33 Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I am loving this post. I just bought a 2WD MJ with 350 700 and love your mods and your attention to detail. Clean install and wiring.
kansashogan Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 Thanks. It has been fun working on this truck. I look forward to seeing your truck on here.
