Well a crazy update
Ever since Friday I went to the Bon fire and got stuck I didn't see any problems with my suspension except today on the way to work....was catching crazy death wobble....any little pothole I would hit bam instant death wobble. so on the way home, drove back home and got really bad death wobble to the point I couldn't go past 45mph....got home checked my suspension and bam! Noticed a bent tie rod end and tie rod....
I was planning to get the v8 zj tie rod in the future especially since I just did my complete steering....but now it's time to upgrade....

*update*
I haven't been doing anything to the jeep lately just enjoying after upgrading my tie rod...but I have been seeing other rigs...just past weekend a buddy of mine bought a 1974 international scout 2...tho to visit him and trying to get his truck started. While doing that I was noticing that it was strange that this rig had an inline 6 carb motor....I thought scouts either came with a v8 or a 4 cylinder come to find out a previous owner had dropped in a 74 cj5 driveline in the truck....sweet! Pics to follow and also finally got to trade my 99 gmc Sonoma for a 98 cherokee 4.0 auto 4x4....
Enjoy the pics
As regarding the cherokee....what do you guys think I should look for? As far as problems or upgrades to the driveline?

*UPDATE*
What's up guys
So I was doing work for the cherokee and decided since I've been working on one jeep I might as well work on the comanche....
I had bought a speedo cable a while back and finally got to install it...it feels great knowing how fast I'm going up to 35mph. Why 35mph? Because I compared my gps to the speedo 10 mph difference after 35....
Also finally got brave enough to paint my door panels black to kind of finish off my interior change.... Pics!!!!!
I honestly think it looks real good!!!! Finally!!!! Whoo hoo!!!!

What's going on guys
So I haven't been doing anything to the jeep...just ordered some 4.5 inch rubicon coil springs, I already have rustys adjustable upper and lower control arms that I scored for $200, and a rubicon express track bar for $20 off Craigslist...still deciding wether to make it to a double shear one to not have death wobble in the future...still gota get chevy brake lines and a rear Dakota brake lines...still battling a running rich situation in the jeep but I bought the correct thermostat and a new o2 sensor to install. Hopefully it'll help out...
Other than those news I haven't seen any Comanches on the road like I used to but it seems my girl has caught the bug...here's 2 she's seen in the last two weeks

Lol yeah this is most of my build thread down in the comancheclub.com website...
Since cherokee forum has a new section for the comanche I decided to just transfer over mine to get things started...
Yes comanches are rare down this way even 4wd ones at that...and no I'm not in any clubs...just cc.com
I'll take a look into them...are they in this site?
