    Help me fit a bench seat in the back of my truck

    On my Commando I tried to use a TJ rear seat but ran into the same issues you have since Commandos don't have alot of headroom for the back seat. I ended up using a YJ rear seat where I modified the seat reclining angle and made a seat mounting bracket that puts the seat as close to the floor as...

    7 trails in 5 days, too much for our first time to Moab?

    Top of the world and Rose garden have gotten rougher in the last couple of years. We did Top of the world this year and it is much rougher due to rains washing away the dirt and leaving rocks. I enjoyed the ride but some in our group didn't because it was so rough, not all that technically...

    700R4 question

    When coasting at high speed it acts like it is not engaged and when you go to push on the gas it will rev a bit then engage just fine. I don't think it is dropping to third since the revs aren't that high. Maybe it goes out of torque converter lockup when I let off the gas. I should wire up a...

    700R4 question

    On the way home from the Relic Run I noticed that the 700R4 in the Commando did something a bit weird. If I was going freeway speeds and let it coast down hills the tranny would drop out of overdrive until I gave it gas again. Is that normal for the 700R4 or do I have a problem ? It shifts and...

    Where's the fish at?

    Just got back from Flaming Gorge where we caught limits of Kokanee salmon, trout, and a good bunch of lake trout. We used the standard stuff for the salmon and even caught them on a pop-gear and a worm. Caught the nicest macks trolling a silver flat fish behind a big pop-gear. We have also...

    I've had it with this fuel system !

    That would probably make my wife happy but I do need something to tow the boat. I need to research the Holley vs TBI pumps to compare pressures and flow rate. For this engine flow is king.

    I've had it with this fuel system !

    My old 85 one ton needs some help with the fuel system. On every long trip its always a guess as to whether you can make it home without problems. Some history: original motor was a 454, two saddle tanks with a switching valve. My dad let some shop con him into solving his heating problems by...

    The family Commando build project

    Yeah I probably over did it a bit but they work well, and yes you can stand on them. On the TBI I found a vacuum leak, rebuilt the TBI, ground down some flanges that lower the airflow, put on a better flowing air cleaner stand off, chipped it, replaced the stock intake manifold with an Edelbrock...

    The family Commando build project

    The Commando made it out to the Teraflex AllJeep show. It walked the course very well, scored 831 on the ramp and took home a first place trophy for classic jeeps. Here are a couple of photos from Teraflex's facebook page, hopefully they don't mind me sharing them. I have been able to improve...

    TJ or XJ left rear dana 44 shaft.

    My son in law has a set from an xj that are his trail spares. Once he swaps his front axle in a few weeks he won't be able to use them since his wheel pattern won't match. PolarXJ on the board if you want to send him a PM.

    14 bolt spare shafts

    My son in law had a set of 14 bolt axle shafts that he was going to send to scrap. Do any of you guys carry spare shafts for 14 bolts or are they just extra weight that you will never use ? I did grap these in case someone could use them.

    Saggy rear springs

    I don't have any old springs laying around but I could probably find something that would work. My current springs don't have that many miles on them but I do pack the scrambler up pretty good when we go camping. I have to do something since the new 33 KM2s are rubbing a bit on the trail. I...
