dfreeman616 Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 5 speed pegueot (spelling?) i believe the proper spelling is 'pukegoat' :teehee: nice truck :D :cheers:
xjcrazy09 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 Thank you everyone. And you are correct it is a horrible transmission to have. It is so sloppy and I am surprised it has lasted this long.
xjcrazy09 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 By the way CW, i mounted my Solenoid underneath the hood for better weather protection then ran an in-cab toggle switch to run the winch. Winch protection and also it just looks cool lol
WahooSteeler Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 XJ, I thought of $500 as soon as I saw yours. Now that you have seen each others, you guys related or something? LOL W/o question two of the nicer rigs on here. Nice work keep it up...... Oh, and XJ, you need to go look at $500's build thread. very impressive from what he started with.
xjcrazy09 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 I have looked at 500s build up. It is a very nice MJ! and haha no connection between the two.
xjcrazy09 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Posted February 5, 2008 I spent some time on the Jeep tonight. Got the knuckles put on and the hubs fastned in and mounted a set of 35" MTZs to see what it would look like. Got the 2" steel bumpstops welded on tonight also. Now I'll have to install the gears in the axle pull it back apart paint it. get the new shocks in, brake lines, and install the new Rubicon Express Track Bar. Then Wheel it! :D Tucking 33's Ride Height with 35's
89eliminator Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 the 35s look sweet on there. your a pretty popular dude, you posted this thread yesterday, and you already have 30+ replies :bowdown:

xjcrazy09 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Posted February 5, 2008 I believe the cut fenders is one of the cheapest most effective upgrades possible! plus it makes the comanches look sick!
86FUBAR Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 I believe the cut fenders is one of the cheapest most effective upgrades possible! plus it makes the comanches look sick! ya i know , iv just been waiting cuz I'm gona be making it a flatie soon hopefuly but i might cut them like that for the time being :chillin:
CWLONGSHOT Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 By the way CW, i mounted my Solenoid underneath the hood for better weather protection then ran an in-cab toggle switch to run the winch. Winch protection and also it just looks cool lol I wanted to...but don't have the room. With the cover, its just as weather protected on top of the winch. The one draw back with mine is I have more of the radiator blocked. The switch is a nice touch!! I still have that on my "To-Do " list. :brows: For now, I just use the hand held corded remote. CW
xjcrazy09 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Posted February 5, 2008 Yeah I really like the switch. It fits very clean into the dash, and before I had it installed and needed to hook up the winch corded remote I had to open the hood. :D
500 MJ Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 ....W/o question two of the nicer rigs on here.... Hey, Hey, Hey Keep in mind that we (at least I) started right where most of the other people on here did (with holes in my floor ;) ). It took alot of time and money to get the truck as nice as it is now. Anyone on here can get their truck looking that good. There are ALOT of you other guys out there that already have. If I were to try and name them off, there would be at least 50 other people on here from what I have seen over the past years that I would consider already having good looking trucks. I have looked at 500s build up. It is a very nice MJ! and haha no connection between the two. Nope, no connection, not that I know of other than we share a passion for Comanches just like the rest of you guys here. It sure is great to be around guys & gals that share the Comanche passion. :USAflag:
xjcrazy09 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Posted February 5, 2008 I can admit that I paid a little more for my Comanche and the guy who had it before me took great pride in the way it looked. I started with a great looking truck and I haven't done nearly as much as some of you guys and girls. Its all in the eyes of the beholder :D
xjcrazy09 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Posted February 5, 2008 This is kind of like back tracking in time but these are some of the pictures from the past that I dug out of the computer First Day after purchasing Comanche About all the flex I could get in the back, cause the tires were rubbing the bed rail bad. Playing Photoshop.
xjcrazy09 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Posted February 5, 2008 Here is pictures of a West Side Royal Blue ride Cousin smoking up the tire trying to gain some traction Front and Rear coils in a YJ Dropping into the "playground" Trying a steep angle out. First Hill climb it was slippery than snail snot How you know when those Rock Sliders paid off.
xjcrazy09 Posted February 9, 2008 Author Posted February 9, 2008 I welded on the Rusty's D30 truss just for kicks. I think it looks pretty cool. Front view with the Rubicon Express 5.5" coils Thats going to be ride height with 33's Thats ride height with 5.5" coils and the equivalent of a 3/4 coil spacer.
89eliminator Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 looks like you guys were having some fun. :D where was that at?
xjcrazy09 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 West Royal Blue. Near Knoxville, Tn. Its a great trail I have done it several different times.
xjcrazy09 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Posted February 22, 2008 So the left are my old 33's and to the right are the new meats Think the Explorer will fit them?
