Project Comanche- Gearing and Locker
The Comanche labored to turn the previous 30" tires; the new 33" tires were hopeless. The larger diameter, increased weight, and greater rolling resistance all combined to toss a virtual anchor behind my Comanche. At least the solution to this problem was easy to come by: new differential gears. And since the differentials had to be disassembled, it seemed like the perfect time to add an ARB Air Locker to the mix. |

NWMP 32-Gallon Replacement Gas Tank in a Cherokee XJ
Five gallon Jerry cans are a common accessory on Jeeps. I don't have the room for an extra can on my Cherokee XJ, but I still want the reserve fuel. With a new Northwest Metal Products 32-gallon replacement gas tank from Rocky Road Outfitters, I can carry three extra cans of gas! |

Project Comanche - Fixed Yoke Kit
The Comanche driveline gets an update with the addition of an SYE kit. Installing a suspension lift and big tires has an effect on every related component and will often find your vehicle's weakest link and exploit it. If this happens out in the wilderness, it can make for a long day. I'll take the convenience of floorjacks and air tools instead of blocking the middle of the trail. |

Making tires fit without adding more lift
While the addition of locking differentials and lower gears greatly improves off road prowess, they mean nothing if you cannot even make it to the trail. For a few hundred dollars and a day's labor, the Project Comanche now has all of the necessary clearance to travel down the road or down the trail. For a vehicle that is used on a daily basis for everything from commuting to parts running to trail scouting, minimized down time and proper clearance are essential. |
