Bubba Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 So I went down to Moab over the weekend. I only got to run steel bender though, due to carnage. I broke my drivers side U-joint, which screwed up my ball joints and bent my tie rod. :cry: here's some pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Comanche Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Its good to see some other Utah based MJs out there. I am still building my first comanche, but the end is in sight. There are a couple of us that frequent the NAXJA website (current or former Cherokee owners), but we are interested in getting an email list going with fellow Comanche owners for local trail rides and such.

Bubba Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 So, after shopping around and looking at different steering setups, such as the JCR, I've come to a decision. (with the help of a call to ben hanks) And I ordered the CURRIE steering system, which can be seen at this link http://www.currieenterprises.com/cestor ... px?id=1219 So my question is, should I be upgrading anything else? Any and all advice will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any and all advice will help. I personaly think that the currie setup is nice but not as nice as the jcr and on top of that the currie dosnt even use real 1 ton TRE as does the jcr stuf. though i have not personaly run the currie setup i know enuf people that do and would not recomend it for anyone that was gona use it off road as i don't feel it is rock friendly enuf. i personaly run the jcr (in an otk configuration) and wouldnt trade it for anything . but thats just my opnion as fer other upgrades get cromos and quality u-joints :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I've got a buddy with the currie setup, and he says that the currie components have out lasted 3 wranglers that where on 37's And, I'm only running 33's, and only planning on going as big as 35's in the future.

Mitch Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 i guess if you havent put some support on the frame for your power steering that you should do that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
