My son's comanche has them off the back of the axle with a bit of an angle back and they ride fine. I'm looking at the commando mounts and inside the wheel well might work but comes close on wheel rub when articulating. I probably should have gotten a shorter shock but I am still going to try...

A CJ6 or scrambler frame would be close but probably harder to find. I guess I shouldn't have cut up the extra commando frame that I had (I used pieces of it to widen my commando frame).

OK I'll try to keep them vertical. I have been doing some calculating and I'll need to measure to see if I can keep the wheels from rubbing them when one tire is stuffed and the other is down (if I mount them out in the wheel wells).

I'm to the point on my commando project that I need to figure out the best shock mounting position for the rear four link. I picked up a set of long travel Ranchos and it looks like I can mount them one of two ways. The first method would be a long shock tower that would go up into the wheel...

I would look at the O2 and temp sensors. I have also seen cracked exhaust manifolds cause a rich condition because too much exhaust leaks out before the O2 sensor. Cracks on the manifolds are very common on these jeeps.

Some of us didn't lose the knack (or common sense) when we graduated from engineering school. People keep sending me links to that video because I'm always tearing stuff up and fixing it.

I'm in the middle of building one but I'm a ways out from finishing it.

Last year we saw a guy with a brand new Toureg on Hell's and they beat the crap out of it. The funny thing was when we drove by their dog was in the drivers seat and they were out walking around.

I wish someone could give me an idea as to how much triangulation could be allowed or how much triangulation would be required to omit the panhard. I know that the stock jeep setup does have some triangulation and a panhard. On my latest project I have more triangulation than a stock jeep does...

There are several beds south west of the U-dig beds west of Delta. One bed between the u-dig and Marjoram canyon has them in red rock. We found some in the shale in Marjorum canyon near the trailhead to Chainsaw. Fossil mountain and the mountains around them are supposed to also have them. I...

I've already been acused of being that nerdy engineer who over designs everything. I could probably take a look, however I am using rubber bushings at one end of every link so I might be ok. Its been a big enough headache to get everything to fit as it is. if I were doing some of the frame...

The septarian nodules came from the Orderville area. 5MP would be alot closer if I knew where to go. I also have lapidary tools but need to use them more. I might try polishing some of the fossils we found. I would also like to make some jewelry for my wife and daughters but I have never been...

So how much triangulation is allowable to still use the pan hard ? On my commando project it has some triangulation on the uppers to miss the motor mounts and some on the lowers to allow the lowers to not rub the tires at full turn. The only way to lower the upper triangulation would be to bend...

We go rockhounding quite often. We have collected garnets, topaz, geodes, quartz crystals, horn coral, septarian nodules, petrified wood, calcite crystals, smoky quartz, wonder stone, fossils, and lots of other rocks. Our last trip two weekends ago was a fossil tour of Millard county where we...

The old Ford F100 trucks had a rear semi float d60 that is about 61 inches wide.

My old XJ had 330K + when I finally retired it thanks to the granny that pulled out in front of me.

I looked up the shafts that the YJ uses and the part numbers are 4713192 and 4713193. These axles are listed to fit the following jeeps: Vehicles This Part Fits 1992-2001 Jeep Cherokee 1993-1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee 1993-1993 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 1997-2002 Jeep TJ 1993-2002 Jeep Wrangler

I better get the 73 commando finished by then ! As far as the other relics to bring along that's not an issue since I'm a relic from the 50's.

You can also find the 700r4/241 case in the full sized blazers of the same years. I got my setup from an 89 Blazer. The 241 gives you a better low range than the 208. I have two 700r4s and three 241s. One of the 241s is for a th400, and one is for the 700r4, and the last one was from a 91 dodge...
