Project Comanche- Sway Bar Disconnects
The idea behind this Comanche project is to make a vehicle that is capable on the trail without sacrificing too much in terms of daily driving, reliability, or versatility. Another prime motivation is getting the most bang for my buck, since I already have a dedicated trail rig that gobbles up funds almost as quickly as rocks. Since I currently have open differentials, keeping the tires in contact with the ground is critical. An easy way to gain articulation is to disconnect the front sway bar. |

Using modern lightweight waterproof materials the tent has great strength and durability and yet weighs less than 40lbs complete.

Project Comanche- Posi-Lok Installation
The Cherokee and Comanche vehicles were the first in a trend that has continued at Jeep through today. Gone were the locking hubs and 5 on 5 ½" bolt pattern of the previous generation of vehicles. In their place came a 5 on 4 ½" bolt pattern without hubs. To keep the front axle assembly from spinning constantly, which results in decreased mileage and increased wear, a coupler was added to the long side front axle shaft. This coupler is controlled by a vacuum source and disconnects the two piece axle shaft when in two wheel drive. Fortunately, there is a solution. 4x4 Posi-Lok manufacturers a cable kit that replaces the vacuum actuator and allows the driver control over locking the coupler on the front axle shaft. |
