bryans87MJ Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hey all my name is Bryan and I am new here so I figured I would introduce myself. Married with 2 kids, and I love wheeling. I live out in WA and I have been in the Army for 17 years (3 to go!!!) I don't own a Comanche as of yet but tomorrow I am picking one up. Actually I am getting Galford's Comanche. Presently I have a pretty well built 198 TJ that is for sale. Look forward to being here and I will have some questions I can assure you. -b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryans87MJ Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Thanks fellas. Yeah after 17 years I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. I am pretty Jeep savvy and do pretty much all my own work except for gear set ups. One of the first things I will be doing to the MJ is armoring the snot out of it with new bumpers and rockers. An 8.8 is on the menu as well and it will run 4.88s at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryans87MJ Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Thanks for the warm welcomes. Yeah I ran an Opfor team for quite some time here at Ft Lewis. Three years to go and I will be retired so I am stoked. Anyways I did get Galford's MJ and here she is right now: Still have a long way to go though.

bryans87MJ Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Thanks guys I have a long list of things I need to do to this. -fix the clutch issue (think it's the pedal) -finish up the brakes (banjo bolts tomorrow) -convert to power steering -Get an 8.8 in 4.10 and install (brackets are ordered and axle should be about a week out) -Install the Aussie in the 8.8 -D30 with 4.10s -Tom Woods kit -build some rock rails Then it will be mostly worthy and ready to go. Plan is 4.88s within a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Looks like you might need to add "longer control arms" to that list. The front tire doesn't look centered in the wheelwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
