How does everyone feel about Fat Bob's Garage lifts? Looking to do some sort of BB lift on the cheap side. I found a kit with 3in coils, add-a-leafs for the rear, and all 4 shocks for $240. I was thinkin of adding 2in shackles I have to the rear to bring that up a bit since it might not be much of an improvement with the old leafs. I can't afford new leafs yet, so this is my option for now. Will I encounter any major problems doing that? Or should I wait till I can get new leafs?

 

Just did my axle u joints last weekend. I went up to harbor freight to buy a bench vise to use as a press for my joints. I bought one with 4" jaws and it just barely and I mean just barely fit inside the jaws with an old socket to press them in and out. Make sure you go with a bigger one at least a 5".

 

I am leaving in 10 min to go do this a friends house. his dad was a diesel mechanic for 30+ years and literally has every tool imaginable.

Thanks for all the help man. Hope I meet you one day because you're the only guy on here that is trying to help me. I will post on here with my phone with progress, and will let you know how it goes. thanks again man.

 

What did you need help with?

 

No problem man, I'm glad to help anybody in need. I'm over by Nazareth, we can always arrange a little jeep meet with a few other guys too. I have connections, haha. Being an admin of my club has it's perks.

 

Cool but other than being a little small it worked pretty well?

 

Yea that's out of my realm or I'd offer up any info I'd have. If I don't know or not sure I'd rather not confuse you and allow someone who knows more help. But good luck hope it works out. The Comanche is sweet and you hardly see them on the road so keep up the good work.

 

I saw one on the road for the first time actually on the road lol

 

There was a black one for sale at the dealership down the street. It was nice and clean but they wanted $8500!

 

Idiots lol

 

Here's a link to dash cam video from the trip to Rausch last weekend. I'm going to be uploading more video of different trails throughout the next few days. These videos that are up now is footage from the beginning of the day.

Part 1(Part 3 is missing..Working on that now)

 

Nice and clean again... The boy and I are throwing the telescope in the back and driving to a high point to look for these northern lights we are supposed to have tonight.

 

Ok guys. just got back home. All fixed now. Clutch feels brand new. Will post pics tomorrow of what I did. Was too much of a b!tch to get the bleeder loose from under the truck, so... I cut open the tunnel on the passenger side. Was so much easier. The old fluid was black. Must have been the original fluid.
The master was definitely the original from all the rust and the bolts were super tight (like how they always are from the factory).

Thanks again guys.

Oh, and did not have to remove the slave. The bleeder was very well hidden. Again, i will post pics tomorrow.

Edit: I also put on a thrush turbo muffler and turn down. Has a nice little drone now, but doesn't sound ricy- or rice-y

 

Awesome! Thats great news. The Comanche lives on!

 

Oh man I forgot about that do you need a telescope or can see them without one?
