jeepinjay Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Well I thought it was time to post some pics of my Comanche. Payed $200 for it and needed to put in a new rear brake line. Then I discovered the load valve for the rear brakes and decided that needed improvement so someday I will put rear discs from a 94 ZJ I saved from one I parted out. More to come on that. So far I have installed a roll bar and nicer doors off of a Cherokee I am parting out and nice bucket seats. General repairs I needed to do was the rear brake line, The rear springs were broken so I replaced those with nice used ones. The front axle got new Moog ball joints. Bought some new Procomp AT tires for it after last winter. Here are some pics for you. new tires new doors new seats the water hole was too deep for a Comanche without lift shakedown cruise to the badlands last year I plan on lifting it when time and money permit. We just spent alot on the outside of my house but now that winter is comming it is getting time for winter projects in the my garage that I remodeled last year. I will keep you posted with more later.
Geonovast Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Not too shabby for $200. Hopefully you can get that rust under control. What area of Wisconsin are you from?
jeepinjay Posted November 2, 2007 Author Posted November 2, 2007 I live between Oshkosh and Fond Du Lac by Lake Winnebago. I would be interested in meeting the Wisconsin Comanche owners sometime.
Geonovast Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Yeah, if you're ever down in the Madison area that would be cool. You said you parted out an XJ? What year/motor/trans? I may be interested in parts.
JeepcoMJ Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 sounds like we need a lil pow-wow!!!! irnoically enough, the 'rents have enough land for that...not anything for offroading though but we could solve that :P beer and brats at my house! now we need a date set. and when it's warmer too. :D
jeepinjay Posted November 2, 2007 Author Posted November 2, 2007 Winter can be alot of fun if it gets cold enough and the snow comes around. Lake Winnebago can get some nice drifts on it when the wind blows. I have fun in my back yard after the creek freezes good and then I run down all the cat tails along the shore. The XJ that I am parting out is an 89 4.0L AW4 automatic. The motor I want to put in my wife's 89 along with the posi rearend. Let me know what you need or want. I also have a 4.0L HO out of a 94 ZJ. Burlington is about 1.5 hours from me and Marshall is 1 hour or so from me. Looking forward to meeting fellow Comanche addicts soon.
JeepcoMJ Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 how many miles are on that xj? what gears does it have in the rear axles? ...I'm gonna be doing a 4wd swap for a guy soon, and what i have has 252xxx miles on it so if I can get something with lower miles that would be great.
jeepinjay Posted November 2, 2007 Author Posted November 2, 2007 It has 170,459 on the ticker Oh, and the gear ratio is 3:55 Accrording to the tag on the front axle.
JeepcoMJ Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 I may need front axle, tranny (and transfercase), front driveshaft, and 4x4 shift linkages from you then. gotta finalize details with the guy. what would you want for all of that? I could come help pull it
jeepinjay Posted November 2, 2007 Author Posted November 2, 2007 I will PM you my phone number and we can talk about it personally.
WahooSteeler Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 where did you get the seats, they look great.......
Geonovast Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Well...unfortunatly I don't need anything from an 89/auto...I need an XJ/MJ Ax-15, as well as a complete HO wiring harness.
jeepinjay Posted November 9, 2007 Author Posted November 9, 2007 where did you get the seats, they look great....... The seats came out of the 89 XJ that I am parting out. I had to use the seat mounts from the bench seat that was in the truck.
