camjeep3 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 well i have been at work on the truck! no pics yet though :wall: we took the 8.8 apart and cut the perches off. got the new perches all ground and sitting right on the tubes, pulled the turd out as well as my aal. set my 8.8 in and burnt on the new perches then today i went to the shop put my shafts in to bolt some tires up and set it down to see how i want to do my shocks. it sits up I'm the back(2wd work truck look) so some spacers will fix that. but i love the lift the soa gives. plenty of room for my ltbs! so tomorrow I'm going back to burn on my shock mounts and hopefully put the gears in or find someone to do it! i want this thing up and running!!!!!
jschleeter Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Love your MJ. I think white Comanches look classy. Keep it nice. :clapping:

Dirteatr717 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 sick looking truck... how much louder are yer tires then yer exhaust :brows: haha
camjeep3 Posted January 11, 2010 Author Posted January 11, 2010 thanks guys! the tires make some noise but over the wind noise and trans and BAD exhaust leak it really doesnt bother me
camjeep3 Posted May 5, 2010 Author Posted May 5, 2010 my front gears are going in soon!!! yay 4wd oh how ive missed the. also put my spacers on. next is to fix my saggin(falling off) driver door as well as build my winch bumper and clean up the front fenders some more :clapping: i will get some pics of all of this happening
camjeep3 Posted June 13, 2010 Author Posted June 13, 2010 well yesterday and today have been productive... yesterday i cut out the fenders some more and hammered the inner pinch seam so i have a ton of tire clearance now... well a lot more than i did. then i went to the local truck stop and got an antenna mount and spring for my fire stick now I'm trying to recover from the stinkin heat! :ack: next is to fix 4wd lever door and winch bumper
snowboard3r411 Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 i love the way this think looks with those tires
camjeep3 Posted June 16, 2010 Author Posted June 16, 2010 thanks. I'm big on the look too. i just hate how they are so stinkin soft and ride terrible... i reallly want to put some km2s on it :roll:
camjeep3 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 well i fixed my 4wd lever :D simple as poppin a new bolt in. one little step at time... sigh shes getting there
camjeep3 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Posted June 29, 2010 pput a new universal in the front axle shaft ordered an aussie for the 8.8 and some bumper brackets :brows: pics coming
camjeep3 Posted July 18, 2010 Author Posted July 18, 2010 first trip to uwharrie was a success. truck did awesome! pics are here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2 ... ec5aeb28da
camjeep3 Posted July 31, 2010 Author Posted July 31, 2010 found a cheap set of 35s to run on the road. bfg mud terrains. they do a lot better than the ltbs as far as driving. mounted them on the wheels that came on the truck, I'm diggin the look :D you can also see i took my bumper off and started my winch bumper
btm24 Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 man this thing looks great! thats the lift I'm going for just not them tires i like how mud tires ride better then them 33's :rotfl2: how dose looks great tho :bowdown: Â Brandon
camjeep3 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Posted September 29, 2010 thanks. the reason the 35s ride better than the 33s is because the 35s are a radial tire, much smoother while my 33s are a bias ply tire and get flat spots when they sit for awhile
camjeep3 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Posted February 23, 2011 well its time i update the old manche. last i messed with it was in October :( we had a local meet up so i drove it there broke a shock mount :wall: (on the road) then we did some weeling and maybe 10-20mins in my truck starts running hot so i parked it for the rest of the day. She has been sitting with a dead battery since then. Well with Spring break around the corner i figure its time to get things rolling with her again. When i come home i plan on putting some MUCH needed electric fans on to keep the temps down as well as the hood spacer mod.(looks like crap but i need all the help i can get) redoing my rear break lines as well as improving the breaks. I also plan on selling my ltbs and rims in favor of a 12.50 with an 8inch rim with some more backspacing. I will probably do some with my shotty electrical work on the truck in order to clean all that up. Wish me luck! the research starts now :wrench: pics will be up when i get off my butt and make it happen
DJM/78 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Very cool , coming a long way now , I dig the 35"s I think they ride better than most of the other sizes I've tried .
camjeep3 Posted February 24, 2011 Author Posted February 24, 2011 The 35s were nice. I actually just sold them though. they had some rot in them and i wasnt too keen on swapping tires over all the time. I doubled my money on them so I'm happy. ive toyed with the idea of keeping my ltbs and swapping them over to my chrome rims, that are x8inch wheel as opposed to a 10. the 8 has a better backspace too. not sure yet
cody4359 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 killer truck man. i put hood vents on my xj and that helped alot creeping in the heat
