Well after this weekend after working for a couple hours, and getting to my jeep it was time to work on it!!! YAY


Took out the tie rod and drag link.... Had to get a picture like this

Drained the Diff. fluid, Pulled out the carrier, replaced both inner seals, put the carrier back in place but i noticed as i moved the pinion the ring gear would someitmes jam up so i pulled it out again... apparently theres a plate behind the pinion somehow bent. so i used a pry bar and a hammer and i flattenedso now it spins smoothly

I need to say thanks to 88whitecomanche, he answered my text and sent me in the right direction with the Bleepin jeep videos which helped also :icon_cheesygrin :

Added new fluid... oh yea, i can almost feel the completeness coming!!! Added the new shafts to both sides ( sort of new) and the outer seals i purchased a while back...

Batman33165

II was going to continue but it was getting late enough, plus the brake pads i had for it apparently one side was correct and the second pair was way off... man

Batman33165

Went ahead and changed the rear diff. fluid, didnt expect it to be that bad but man it smelled. Was way worse than the front.

Drained it, cleaned the housing, got a new gasket on it... and new fluid, check that off

Also finally got to those tie end rod ends... lol, pulled the old, screwed in the new, and greased them up!!

Well the last part of the front axle is finally done, using team cherokee website i got the right brake pads.

Resurfaced those rotors that were on the cherokee since VA, which had ALOT of rust. Painted a part of the rotor so it looks nice i guess, and the caliper to match with the red theme i guess i have going on.

Getting the Jeep ready for safety inspection so i can start driving her

Seat Belts in check....
Brakes New.... so check on braking
Wiper blades... check ( bought new)

Lights.... good, never mind.... go figure i thought i fixed it, back to the drawing board. Im hoping this is the reason why the turn signal in the front or back wont work.

Horn is in the process, but it will be from harbor frieght

Well guys it ended up being the flasher relay for the turn signals. I working on replacing the sockets for the front turn signal. Their basically corroded ( i hope i spelled it right), get my putco harness hooked up and refresh all grounding. So far i cleaned, replaced terminals for the ground at the dipstick nut. Ill get a picture another time.

For now i leave you guys an addition to the looks of the rims; their cleaned, repainted, and now have a center cap... YAY!!! its complete. I don't feel a problem driving the jeep but i would like to get the tires balanced.

Nice! I see the Comanche in the background in the other pic...pics of it now!!!

Batman33165

Bam!! not too shabby huh...

Yea dude, its great picture... i need to drive the jeep more to get some cool pictures, plus i got no offroad buddies here... their mostly speed demons here

Plus there's like no place to wheel in Texas. Sounds funny in such a big state, but it's true! I travel there for work about once a month and was surprised to find that out.

Other then that, digging the build! If you ever come across a nice Comanche down there, could ya let me know. I'm dying to find one that isn't a rust bucket from MI.

Batman33165

Ill let you know... I'm hoping that one day maybe I'll inherit my dads comanche, its got a lot done and he never rides or moves it.

I know a couple sites to go to, i just need to get some Jeep friends.

With my inspection coming up, i have had to use my jeep fund more into my daily driver but was able to use at least $50.00 for some LED's and new faces for the instrument panel. The main reason i did it was either way i wanted to change out the oil pressure and gas gauge which never worked... Everything works now and it looks pretty bad *** if i do say so myself...
