xjcrazy09 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 Thank you for the welcoming :) Nice to finally find a group who shares my passion of Comanches. I was getting tired of the guys making fun of me every time i whipped around to look at a Comanche passing me on the road. lol
xjcrazy09 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 Here is the specs as i bought it. Renix 4.0L 5 speed pegueot (spelling?) Front axle 30 hp/vaccum connection Rear Ford 9" 3.10s (way to high) Custom front and rear bumpers (custom meaning off of ebay) 3" Rusty's coils 2" spacers I'm not sure about the rear leafs I'm thinking like 3.5" spring under Open front and rear I'm drawing a blank.

89eliminator Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 thats one of the nicest MJ's ive ever seen. flexes nice too. how come you ditched the 9" that was in there?
xjcrazy09 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 New Front C-Rok bumper with M8000 Warn on the front of it w/ custom stinger Rockyour4x4.com only the best place to buy all of your 4wheel parts :) New front bumper flex shot Another shot of the front bumper and a picture of my DD in the backgroun.
xjcrazy09 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 9 inch was trash...it came out of a older mustang so it was 27 spline drum brake. It would have cost so much more to build. The 8.8 is only .2 of an inch smaller in ring size and it offers rear discs.
xjcrazy09 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 Sorry for the poor picture quality camera phone. 33" MTRs Cut fenders to clear the 33's Backside of the cut fenders What Comanches were meant for
xjcrazy09 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 rear 8.8 Think i can clear 35's in the back? Rear Discs cleaning out the front for the new Hp30 new 30 set in place. Thats as far as I have gotten. Its still sitting there being worked on little by little.
CWLONGSHOT Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 VERY NICE RIG!! I have one suggestion, You need to get a cover for that winch. I have the identical winch and synthetic line setup. I like the neoprene Ramsey cover. Its stretches over everything. The synthetic line is degraded by the UV in sunlight. The loop where the hook attaches is especially susceptible to failure. this is where synthetics get a bad rap... CW
xjcrazy09 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 I'm in Knoxville, Tn Thanks for the suggestion for the winch line. Ill look into getting one of those. Who makes them?
CWLONGSHOT Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 http://www.quadratec.com/products/92143_105.htm I have gone thru a couple on my jeeps. I seem to only get two seasons from them. But compaired to the ine itself.. the cover is cheap insurance. CW
xjcrazy09 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 Very true. The synthetic lines quite expensive. Does the Ramsey cover also fit the Warn?
xjcrazy09 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 Scratch that last post. Found the Warn covers. Thanks for the heads up. I can tell how the sun has already affected the line from only one summer of exposure.
CWLONGSHOT Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 #1 killer of synthetic lines!!! In comp they replace them YEARLY!!! MOSTLY because of UV damage!!! Like I said, I have the SAME winch set-up as you do. It fits mine very nicely, I moved my solenoids to top center of the winch. CW
