xjcrazy09 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Posted February 23, 2008 I didnt get done as much as I wanted to today. I tinkered around with a few things while my buddy was working on a van. Got the shocks installed and the Rubicon Express track bar bracket. Mounted the 35's on the back. Its starting to come together still need a lot of work though. Rubicon Express Shocks Track Bar Bracket Plenty of room in the back.

warf90 Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Great Looking MJ. Do you still have to get a permit to Ride at Royal Blue? I rode there about 5 years ago on that trail and it is awesome. That is one of my favorite trails.

xjcrazy09 Posted March 12, 2008 Author Posted March 12, 2008 Got the 35" spare tire today. What do you think of the Baja Claw I found at a JY Not bad for $25 dollars wish i could have found 3 more :D
xjcrazy09 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 what next? give me some opinons? 1. Currie High Steer set up - close to 800 dollars 2. TnT curved long arm set up, bellypan, unibody stiffner, etc. - 899.95 3. Start a Dana 44 project with gears and front locker - price? 4. Bob the bed and repaint, fix all dents - price ? 5. Rhino Line the bed, cab, and rocker panels - price? 6. Sway-bar w/ quick disconnects - $140 7. New Transmission(either Ax-15 or an Auto Swap) - Ax-15 is free but i would have to change the input shafts on the np231 or i could buy a np231 with correct input shaft and SYE Opinions? what would you guys do?
ejndssn Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 first things first Nice Truck :cheers: 2nd that dog wanted a ride if it is your dog then i'd figured he wanted back in if not yours then you just made that dog jealous :brows: If the AX-15 is the option you know that there are two types internal and external. IMHO the external setup is the way to go. Based on your desires and not the dog's he just wants to ride. I would go and obtain the complete set tranny and t-case which ever route you auto or manual. so that the input shaft is no longer a question. The other manual tranny option is the NV3550 and second source info states that these are very good. I'll have to leave that to those that already have installed them. I believe that Pete may have one in his MJ :dunno: If just the input shaft is all that you need then some one may have one avail or the price for a new one is around buck and half or higher i believe that the 4wd site may have it for that price you be lucky at the JY and get the whole shooting match for around two bucks. sorry bout the :rant: just my dime's worth
xjcrazy09 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 Newest Install. Rock Lights that help with wheeling when after dark! plus they look sweet driving down the road :D Getting close to having a whole bunch of updates on the Comanche, which should include: AW4 Dana 44( w/ front locker ) Currie Hi-Steer Upgrade Treks Custom Long arm Hope to have at least 2 or more of these before wheeling season is over. Opinions?
shelbyluvv Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Great looking truck! What did you do with the camper shell? I am looking for one like that for my MJ.
Darren Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Good looking MJ. Love the rock lights. I may have to do that.
xjcrazy09 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 Still have the camper shell. can't decide if I want to sale it or not. I hardly ever use it but then again it looks good. Also the rock lights are a great addition and I only have like 30 dollars in all 4.
possum Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 What did you use around your wheel openings? I like the look.l
xjcrazy09 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 I just cut them with the air cutter, than used a material made by 3M that just covers the cut so that someone no one would get cut by the sheet metal. The back doesn't have anything on it just spray painted black
xjcrazy09 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Posted October 16, 2008 I have some good news and some bad news. Bad news, The Comanche got rear-ended by a mini van yesterday. Good news, I love my back bumper that prevented any type of damage to the body or the undercarriage of the Jeep in the rear. It merely mangled my license plate, but you should have seen the mini-van. It had lines running up the hood of it from where the steel slid all the way up. Well it was this thug-nasty looking punk of a kid driving the mini-van and I was guessing he didn't have insurance by the way he was desperately trying to say that everything was alright on his mini-van. So I let him go, considering the damage to his mini-van was probably punishment enough. Just letting off steam.
xjcrazy09 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Posted November 9, 2008 So, me and my buddies went and crashed a "ricer" car show that is held almost every saturday night near the local autozone. We thought we would show them how the 4x4 crowd does it 8) They couldn't believe it :yes:
