One of the freeze plugs is leaking. Ugh! I will know if my dumb repair works in about four hours after the gasket shellac dries and I refill the coolant I recovered.

Factory is 2.25"? I have definitely heard too many pipe numbers since I built mine. I know I have 2.5" pipe from manifold back, including the Flowmaster. Cat is PM info only
. Still very interested to see how the M90 works out and ready to brainstorm on tuning.highspeed

Maybe! The rear axle in the LJ needs servicing, but I should be able to get that done.

Iron Rock Offroad Track Bar and all new steering linkage.
Tidied up the electric fan wiring and used 3M Duralock plastic velcro to hold the relays in place. I opted for velcro so that if I ever need to get at the relays I do not need to remove the battery to unscrew them.

I estimated I need to work on this at least two hours every night for the rest of the month to hit the dead line. So I put in twelve hours today!
Working on the interior body harness. Most of the wires will be eliminated.
Seats I picked out for $100 from a 2004 Jeep Wrangler. The bottom of the seats are nearly covered in metal braces that makes it easy to drill holes for mounting the MJ bucket brackets.

Elimination!
I prefer heat shrink splices for all my connections. I left the red wire open since it is for trailer tow power or whatever I decide to use it for in the future.
Factory splicing compared to mine. The courtesy lamps are from a 1996 XJ. This 1997 XJ harness did not even have the connectors for them so I took the extras I had laying around to add this feature.
All bundled up ready to install.
Bilstein 5100 front shocks.
6" of up travel.
8.5" until it hits the bump stops. I need about 3.5" of bump stop extension to properly space it.
4.56 gearing!

Thanks!
That is the idea! Seventeen days until my deadline.
I finally cut off the XJ shock brackets and set the axle into position. I measured about four degrees pointing up for the pinion angle and set a tack weld on the spring perch for a more experienced welder to go over.
AEM UEGO Wideband AFR setup and Auto Meter gauge pod arrived today. The extra spot will be for a boost gauge once I get to the supercharger stage.

Man, this thing is coming along nicely. I fell in love with Comanches from the time I found out they existed and I always love it when someone can take the time to fix one up right. I can't wait to see more. Keep it up dude!
