JordanTMiller Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 You didn’t even list “fall air” for what you run in your tires. You lied to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete, It looks great from anything more then 5 feet away. Goal is to keep it clean and respectable while still wheeling it On 11/12/2019 at 3:32 PM, thecodemonk said: Looks awesome!

derf Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Start with the first one. Then keep posting more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 yeah, you don't need to organize them or anything. MJ addicts don't care about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ_Corrry Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 Here’s what it looked like the day I picked it up 3 years ago. Just a 2wd short bed MJ that was clean and spray painted white. Will continue with more pictures later on. I have a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ_Corrry Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 It’s been awhile but nothing has changed recently. Just that I upgraded the steering to DirtBound’s set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ_Corrry Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Little updated: Installed some DirtBound rock sliders. Bolt on? Meh, That's for people with commitment issues. Had to remove the front mount since I have the Rustys Comp 4 link brackets welded to the "Frame" and it kept the sliders from aligning up properly. Went ahead and burned the other mounts all directly to the MJ. Also installed the rear bed side armor. If I didn't smash the right rear in the install would have been pretty easy. All in all, I'm happy. Now I won't end up with anymore cab dents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ_Corrry Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 Its been awhile, A very long time actually. Now that I have sold the project Comanche I had I'm spending more time on my other MJ. Plus with buying myself a laptop (I haven't owned a computer in 12 years) I will be posting a bit more often. Rather keep this forum a bit active than use Facebook. Few quick photos, I recently got 35s installed and repaired a laundry list of electrical wiring.

MJ_Corrry Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 Finally welded in the barnes dana 30 truss kit and C gussets. While I had the welder out I filled in the holes I drilled in the bumpers and added some E track tabs to the bed. Using a Y type strap to secure the spare tire. I didn't want something large to remove every time I wanted to make use of the bed. Now I need to lift the Comanche trailer in order to fit 35s.

JWheeler331 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Very nice. I hope to get my Comanche looking about like yours looks. Very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ_Corrry Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 Lifted the MJ trailer a bit, Need to paint match it at some point. Also need to figure out what to do on the rear. Find a bumper or make a roll pan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanTMiller Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Definitely do a bumper and hitch so you can pull another MJ trailer behind this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to get crafty with that. The bed is the only thing MJ about the trailer. I used a older flat bed trailer I had and added to the frame and welded the beat up bed to it. Was just looking at it, Maybe use a XJ/M front bumper on the rear. Then work around that for a hitch set up on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ_Corrry Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 It's been a little while, Have been spending time on the other Comanche and not so much on this one. Ended up hurting the rear axle this weekend while going to pick up a new transmission. Slipped horribly and banged into gear, That resulted in the axle spinning or the tubes spinning. I got it home and haven't looked much into it. Thats for another day I did manage to get the doner transmission and T case from a 96 XJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ_Corrry Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 It's about time I start to get this thing fixed. Time to pick away at the to-do list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ_Corrry Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 Few months have passed and I have this thing 95% wrapped up. Took it for a drive this evening and am pleased that everything is working again. Replaced the transmission with a 96 23 spline Went from a 21 spline 242 to a 23 spline 231 transfer case Straightened out the rear end, Welded the tubes back to the differential housing Had my drive shaft shortened, Ended up being 1 3/4" too long. Only need to replace the interior transferase shifter gate and bezel. Oh, I also have a trailer now so thats a huge plus! Been a long over due.
