LEAD_NOT_FOLLOW Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Looks good! What size coils do you have in the front currently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhorocks Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 f150 coils. it actually does not ride to shabby. they will be going away next month when i order some new 6.5" coils. I have a pretty good rake up front i want to get rid of so for now i have some spacers i'll put in. i was looking at the coils from the mercury cougar but they didn't look like the right diameter so i passed on them. Like i said i am still hunting the trans/tcase down and hope to come across one shortly. I am also suprised the 2.5 pushes those 33's pretty well.

Dirtboy075 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Hey did you get that Comanche from craigslist? I was gonna buy one that color, those rims...well it was pretty much that exact Jeep. Just wondering though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhorocks Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 i bought it for 500 on craigslist about two months ago. I know there is another 4cyl 2wd on craigslist in phoenix right now as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ20 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I think I was looking at that mj too, but found a ’89 4wd model here for $800 a couple months ago. I never went up to look at it. Good find. I got mine off craigslist tucson, was searching all the southwest links for a year. I saw your thread on a local board about it. I’ll come up to a m&g or something and check it out. Or if you get it wheeling I’ll be around in my J20 until I get mine going on the rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhorocks Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 finally got around to doing some more work.. orioginal lift had ford f150 springs whcih worked well but didn't last long. got some 3inchish re springs put em on. after a few months time to start on the 4wd swap. Should have taken lots of pictures but i didn't. got a great deal on some 4.5 springs and bought 1 3/4 spacer to level out my rake i had so needed to get my caster back to spec. started with adjustable upper control arms and some fixed lowers. still couldn't get the caster right at 6 inches of lift the ride sucked and the death wobble was rediculous. talked to lots of people and almost went with the 3link Rockkrawler kit but after much decisiveness went with drop brackets. after one day of having them its nice... next step tomorrow night i am pulling the 2wd trans out and putting a ax5 4wd behind it. have to change the bellhousing as the v6 doesn't have the CPS slot. no biggie. i'll try to get more pics from here on out to help document and show people some stuff. especailly during the trans swap. still have a lot of cleaning t odo on the trans. it had 1/2 of dirt packed in some places shifts fine though and appears in good running order after the trans swap and drivelines looking to put in a 8.8 whcih i will be sure to document well for everyone.

bhorocks Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 well, picked up some junkyard buckets today for $30 bucks. took out that old bench seat i had. after that the floor was a mess. but instead of cleaning it i had to get my drivers seat in at least. and here we go with one seat. no tears in em and it is amazing how much space opens up with buckets. i didn't think it would be that noticeable also got my posilok in. can't wait to put it in the truck tomorrow night. got it for $50 dollars!
