my new project

[redneck23ms [Veteran Member]]

here is my new project. 87 jeep comanche 4.0 auto 6.5" lift 34-10.50 swampers trashed dana35 etc. needs a good bit of tlc. and this is what happens when a pinion bearing goes out and you keep driving it you can see the majority of the bearing in the drain pan. i'm going to just pull the pinion gear and driveshaft for now so i can roll it around the yard until i get a dana 44 or 8.8 to replace the turdy5 with

8.8 in the future?

[redneck23ms [Veteran Member]]

yep either a cherokee 44 or an 8.8 depends on which one i can find

I just posted a link on how to three-link a Nissan H233B into one of those.
Seriously not a bad option, if you can find a disc brake Pathfinder with the gearing you want, and an open diff that will accept a locker. They are a VERY strong third-member type axle. 6-log, though.

All that nonsense aside, that is a cool truck. I really like those.

6 lug would be a prob i need 5 on 4.5"

rear end looks nasty

Red, thats going to be cool when its finished. What is your time frame to have it up and running?

[redneck23ms [Veteran Member]]

don't really have a time frame. just whenever it gets done. i hope to get another rear end within a week or 2 then gotta get gears and lockers etc

you should get in touch with whinocaballo, he is buildin a 14bolt for his bronc so he won't need his 8.8. Who knows maybe you'll put a fire under his @_ _. So when I get back he has it'll be done. I'm sure he'll get rid of it on the cheap, that is if ya don't mind lincoln locked?

I like the old Comanches. Look forward to the end product. Or, at least the rolling version. I don't think there is ever an actual end.
