What Do You Say to "You should Sell the Jeeps"
dasbulliwagen replied to Drahcir495's topic in The Pub
Nobody mentioned, why not get rid of the Explorer to get something less than 5 years old? That makes more sense to me. You have two vehicles, The Jeeps, appreciating in value, and the Explorer deprciating. It only makes sense! -
Way back when, I wanted to convert to electric fan with a used WJ fan I had. I couldn't use the 2.5 shroud due to the offset, but I had 2 2.8 shrouds that I cut up and epoxied to the fan to mount it, as they were more centered on the radiator. I used it that way for several years.

Thge 2.8 and 2.5 shrouds were not the same, one of them is offset to one side. I had that issue years ago. Someone needs to look into that better.

I remember there was someone making the Comanche specific fuel pump modules, but I can't find the name of the company now. I thought rockauto had them at one point, but I'm not finding anything there but the pump itself, if they are even the correct ones. Mine gave out recently, and I was able to coax it back to life with a few dead blow hammer taps, but I feel I'm on borrowed time now. Its for the 87 2.5 TBI setup. If anyone could point me in the right direction with a link or part number, Id appreciate it. Thanks.

You could use the 4wd knuckles too if you left the outer stub of the axle shaft in the hub bearing to hold it all together. You just wouldnt have the rest of the axle. This way you could get WJ knuckles, change the one different ball joint, and have upgraded bigger front brakes (except youd have the bigger wheel bolt pattern (JK JL WJ WK WK2). Get some rear adapters and a set of takeoff wheels to continue the upgrade. Change to a dual diaphragm booster while youre at it, and youd have the complete brake upgrade package. Just some options for you. If I kept mine 2wd, this is what I would have done.

Larger Wheels and Tires
dasbulliwagen replied to AK_Comanche's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I had a set of stock takeoff JK 17's on mine for a while that measured right at 32". They fit, but rubbed a little, I think I had an extra isolator on the front springs (1/2-3/4" lift), and longer rear shackles, (1-1 1/2" lift) -
Squirrelly Dan: Coheed's 86 Custom
dasbulliwagen replied to coheed's topic in Member Projects: Your Comanches
This is going to be an awesome project. I can't wait to see it done and ready to drive. It was great meeting you, and I'm glad we could work things out for you. -
I'm sorry, I know, I hate the "What should I ask?" posts too, but I really am looking for advice on how you think the best way to do it would be. here's the context... I have an 86 MJ that I used as a parts donor for my 87. I swapped the axles, the transmission, the HVAC box, the power steering etc from this truck to my 87. Its now just a 2wd roller with minor floor rust and some bedside damage. I also have an 86 Wagoneer with some front structural sheetmetal missing, and other exteriorbody damage, and a partially disassembled bad 2.8. It however has an A904, NP228/229, and non disco front axle. I'm not sure on the gear ratio, but from what Ive found, it may be 3.73. It also has all the AC and P/S stuff in it that could be put back in the MJ. On top of all that, I have a good running (when it wants to run, possible starter issue or security issue) 1994 Camaro 3.4/ 4L60 that was meant as a donor for the MJ to build it. The MJ and the Camaro have titles not in my name. These are all in Central North Carolina. My question is, if I sold this as a group, as a project, what would a good asking price be? Or do you think it would be easier to sell them separately. I have $125 into the MJ, and $1500 into the Camaro. The Waggy was given to me free. Would this be more interesting as a project grouping, or am I just dreaming here? Thanks.
