thejum57 Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 I have the complete running gear from my old 1967 Wagoneer. Would the 2 axles and t-case fit in my 1986 2WD Comanche ? I know it wouldn't bolt up, but would it fit???? All components worked very well at the time of canabalizum.
Eagle Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Isn't the differential for the front axle on the passenger side?
Kenosha Warrior Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 you'd have better luck getting a Snowball to survive next to Hitler in Hell. The frt axle is a closed knuckle D27, the rear is a 44, The drop on the front is the wrong side, the axle is weak. The engine and rest of the D/T would need to be transplanted along with the axles, the front is leaves so its needing either a coil conversion or fab up for leaves on the MJ
thejum57 Posted May 18, 2008 Author Posted May 18, 2008 OWCH!!! I didn't think they would, but it never hurts to ask. Thanx for the info. I guess I'm gonna have to be hunting down a doner. Does a Cherokee & Comanche have the same drive train?
mvusse Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Mostly. Rear drive shaft is a different length, and the rear axle is spring over in a Cherokee, axle over in a Comanche. Spacing between the spring perches is different too. So to put an entire Cherokee drive train under a Comanche, you'd have to cut the perches off the rear axle and weld new ones one, and have a rear drive shaft made, get one from a jy. or have your 2wd one shortened. Easiest solution is to keep your rear axle, have your 2wd drive shaft shortened, and take everything else from a Cherokee.
offroader461 Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 FSJ stuff is not a direct swap....The XJ cherokee stuff is a direct swap into the comanche
Eagle Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 The XJ cherokee stuff is a direct swap into the comanche Except for the rear axle and drive shaft ... as noted above.

thejum57 Posted May 19, 2008 Author Posted May 19, 2008 offroader461 That is an AWESOME avitar !!!!!!!!!! I copied it and sent it to my neice, her boyfriend is a hardcore CJ offroader, and she owns a CJ too. She has done a couple of trails with her Jeep. There is something about the sense of humor us Jeep owners have....especially the IFSJ guys, I joined that club in 2000, when I got my J-10. :bowdown:
