Another Derek Build *MJ*
I. TITLE:
Another Derek Build
II. PURPOSE:
To wheel again
III. HYPOTHESIS:
Take beat 1988 Jeep Comanchee and make the most Edit MJ that NE has ever seen, till i fold it in half. Have it built and tested by Fall Crawl (September 9th and 10th) the absolute latest.
IV. MATERIALS :
beat 1988 comanchee with 4.0
AW4 (23 spline version), still need to pick up
D300, also still need to pick up
D60, 4.56's, highsteer, still open at the moment, hopefully locked tho
14B, 4.56's, welded
38.5x15.5x16.5 TSL's on stock ferd rims, hopefully grooved, maybe beadlocked
misc. tube and metal
V. PROCEDURE:
Going to leaf spring the front to hold the 60, Fat Kid Fab hangers, YJ springs (or something simular). Spring over the rear, and pack the leafs if i need more height. Swap in new 23spline AW4 amd Dana 300. Square tube drive shafts. No bed, eventually a tube bed. Tank mounted behind cab. Move exhaust to drivers side so front shaft can be on pass side. Hoping to get a locker for the front, maybe ill weld up and extra set of spider/sides. I will appreciate any and all help i can get.
stay tuned for updates
:update:
Last night me and my friend Joey went to town on the bed
Pulled everything attached to it, including gas tank, pulled bed then dragged it outside for scrap
i wanted to make this still mobile so i threw a couple 2x4's and mount the tank ontop of them, dont worry i am not that much of a hack, it is really just to move it in and out of the garage
QUESTION: hooked the tank back up, all lines are in the right place, truck will start but die after about 10 seconds of idle or as soon as you tap the gas pedal. Why?

I would hate to see you banned from the site just because you won't take the time to clean up the photos before submitting them here.

well with the long weekend and baseball i havent really got to work on it much
got a little time after dinner yesterday, so i started ripping out the interior, as it is going to be bear bones
also gutted the doors to be cut to half doors
this weekend i am planning on dropping the case and tranny, and getting the front ready so when i get the springs i can get right to work fabing brackets, ripping out the old brake lines and crap and running new lines
should be picking up springs and trans next week, still looking for a d300
also anyone have the info on what MC to run, i havent looked into it yet at all, but i know im going to need something more beefy then the stock jeep stuff, just didnt know if someone already knew which one i should use
