dumas972 Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Well I've been daily driving my 86 for about a year now and haven't posted much about, because I haven't done much except get the dog of a motor running right. It is the 2.8 and I'm pretty sure everyone on this site hates that motor just like me. I only bought the truck because the body, frame, interior and everything else is straight on the truck. Just a horrible drivetrain that will be gone in the future anyways. Question is I have a dana 44 and np231 that is on my other Comanche. Mine is an auto with the np207 and 4 low grinds when engaged. Can I swap a np231 that came from a 5 speed on it? Also is the axle swap from a dana 35 to a 44 pretty straight forward? I will most likely swap a 4.0 HO and auto tranny when I get a new daily driver. I will throw some pics up of my 86.
BlackBeast Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Well in this case, its Not the inside that counts,just the outside! LOOKS NICE!
88whitemanche Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I've seen this rig before on craigslist for a while...then it disappeared I guess you picked it up....still looking good though!
WiscoXJ Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 pretty sure the spline count on both tcases are different and the 231 I think is longer so the driveshaft will have to be shortened. Can anyone confirm that?
Kickinmule Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Kinda interested in a rear tube bumper, can't quite make out the manufacturer from your pic.
dumas972 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Posted April 20, 2015 Kinda interested in a rear tube bumper, can't quite make out the manufacturer from your pic. It's just a rear bumper from a YJ. Custom mounts made and bolts right on.
dumas972 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Posted April 20, 2015 I don't have my other Comanche anymore so I don't have the transfer case or axle.
outlaw star Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Nice truck. Those pics look like The Jeepin with Judd event.
redhornet122 Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 I don't want to hijack the thread, but can you PLEASE tell me what kind of bumper that is and where can I get one?
