Recently upgraded the battery cables in the Comanche. The goal was to upgrade the current battery cables with finer strand cables and replace the inline fuse to the alternator. When searching the internet for Big 3 battery cables most kits averaged >$110 and used 2AWG cable. 2AWG is overkill...

The third item on my punch list that I tackled with my self isolation was the windshield. The windshield has leaked on the passenger side for quite some time. Anytime that it rained or snowed, regardless of the amount, I was guaranteed a puddle on the passenger floor board if the Jeep was left...

Glad that my posts can be of a benefit to others. The posting is also self serving in that it helps me keep track and document what I've done on the Comanche so far.

The second item that I tackled was the parking brake assembly. Since the Jeep has come back into my possession the parking brake didn't work. The pedal had too much play in the left/right direction preventing the parking brake from remaining engaged. If you set the brake and then bumped the...

Been taking advantage of all the self-isolation that's going on. Over the last week and a half I've been taking care of my punch list of items on the Comanche. First item that I tackled was the leaking brake line connections. The drivers side front and the passenger side rear brake lines were...

Being under the Jeep I addressed another issue I was having. The Boostwerks Engineering 231HD Linkage was giving me fits. You would think with such a simple design (two FK rod ends, two jam nuts, and random nuts) to connect everything it would be simple to operate. No matter how much I adjusted...

When the transmission cross member bolts tore from the frame it caused the drive train to shift to the drivers side. As the yoke ground against the upper control arm both of the "centering tabs" (not sure what the technical names of these are) broke off. As I see these as more of a centering...

Thanks! Appreciate the positive feedback.

There’s nothing worse than starting your Jeep only to have the battery fail you. Having now experienced this several times in the last few months, I finally came to my senses and decided it was time to really address the issue. It's been said, a Jeep with a performance battery will never fail...

Recently had all three cross member bolts on the passenger side break free (I neglected to get before pictures). Which caused the drivetrain to shift towards the drivers side causing driveshaft to contact the upper control arm, breaking the yoke and front u-joint. The nuts welded into the frame...

Hey, we all get distracted, and a question may get a bit more information than was originally given.

www.otrattw.net. Contura V, lower dependent switches. ?

Wanting to keep the cab looking as stock as possible I bought the '84 - '96 Jeep Cherokee and Comanche In-Dash DIY Carling Style 4 Switch Panel from Prime4x4 that replaces the factory clock. I went with the Prime4x4 switch panel as it is a steel construction vs being plastic that other...

While it's been more of an inconvenience than a problem, I became tired of not having operating windows over the summer. Both windows would roll down but I was unable to get them back up without applying power directly to the motors. So for the summer months I drove around with the vent windows...

Thank you. As everyone on here, knows it's a labor of love. The goal of the build is to keep it simple, which is easier said than done at times.

Awhile back the axle was given a refresh before taking it to the guys at Just Differentials to have it regeared and a locker installed. The big questions were which gears and which locker? The Comanche started with 30" tires and the typical stock gearing of 3.07 gears. The 30" tires were robbing...

Thanks, I appreciate it. Before I removed the rear axle with 3.07s to install the axle with 4.10s and the Eaton E-locker I took the Jeep to have an an alignment done. The front left Toe was out by a bit. After the alignment at the suggestion of someone on a different forum I rotated the upper...

The other item of note is I got the new 33x10.5 BFG KM3s installed on the Jeep. I really went back and forth on which size (31" vs 33") to buy. I have always thought the LWB Comanches look better with a bit bigger tire. And I am not regretting the decision. The front is sitting higher as...

When driving around I had metallic hollow clunk from the sway bar end link contacting the passenger coil when ever the suspension would cycle up and down. The result of the sway bar end link rubbing on the coil. I didn't want this to happen to the new coils going on the Jeep. As I was...

Thanks for the love maxboxa. I am hoping to have the new tires mounted in the month once the axle is swapped in. The 4.11s and 33s should get the ratio closer to the stock configuration. I've ran this combo in the past on an XJ and had no complaints.
