I’d suggest either swapping/repairing it or going with the full glass swap. Ventless fixed glass design in the later MJ years was a horrible design imo. Swaping to the later style is tedious but sooooo worth it. This guy did a good video install guide:

1988 Jeep Comanche Eliminator 4.0, AW4, 4x2, D35 rear, SWB Build date: n/a, that door sticker is long gone.. South Texas Bought it in 2022 with 176k on it. As of 8/2025 I have put just over 10,000 miles on it. I daily drove it all of 2022, had a second car from 2023-early 2025 so drove the jeep less frequently. As of March 2025, it is my one and only daily driver again! This is my first Jeep, being heavily inspired by my good friend who has an engine swapped 1984 Cherokee Chief. I happened to come across it on marketplace only a day after my previous truck was totaled in front of the house by a texting driver. It runs and drives fantastic, I frequently have to make ~400 mile round trips and never get any complaints from it.

Both of my vent windows have now suffered the same fate of that bottom rivet, specifically that black rod, connecting the window to the door completely rusting out and breaking in half. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with a DIY fix without fabricating/rebuilding that mounting? Or would a full window replacement be the best way to go otherwise? Attached isn't my picture. No AC or vent windows in the Texas summer is going to get old quite fast, so I'm willing to try even the jankiest fixes. My jeep has had its fair share of them.

After sweden offroad tour, my dad with his 35's did not like driving with me He has started to prototype dana30 bolt on portals because of it now

You ever wondered what the holes are for on the inside brake pads? Thats where the sensors goes and clips into for the system sentry.

Ok so the raybestos number EWS6 is the newest and produced version. It fits the following Chrysler: New Yorker, Daytona, dynasty 84-90 Dodge: Lancer, dynasty, Daytona 84-90

"I got a ground wooo ooow. I got a ground."

Looks unlocked by reference to my 88

Mine also.

Apparently there isn't a high demand for dynasty parts. I can only assume that is a direct result of cash for clunkers.

Why are all the NOS items $400? Is that just the magic ebay #?

oh. Only an hour away from me....

I actually had that hole covered up right up until I took those pictures (to replace the tape). I've had it covered up with tape and haven't had any issues (yet :p). I'm sure I could get a more solid solution (block-off plate etc.) but as I said, purely temporary. Thanks for the input though! If I end up keeping the HO box I'll remember this

Yep, that's on my to-do list next time I do my VCG.

This reminds me of Cruiser54's tip for addressing the oil blowback through the valve cover.

regarding your catch can... and the removal of the hose from the airbox... you need to get some type of filter on that empty hose connection, you are bringing in unfiltered air to the engine ( note this fitting is 'above' the air filter) Look inside an early 70's GM air filter, inside the housing is a filter assembly that pokes thru the housing and connects to the valve cover via tubing... one of those "could" serve as a filter if you do not reconnect the front fitting on the 4.0 valve cover to the air box... Looks like you've got your work cut out for ya.......

Thank you so much!

We pulled off everything but the line to the PCV (that you've already disconnected) and the line to the canister (on a 96+ this line is gone too). We removed the EGR, The vacuum motor came out when we swapped the boxes, and we must have capped the line to "vacuum fitting." In short, all the skinny lines to the air box in the diagram are gone. Didn't lose any function because the lines and connections were so brittle and poorly connected that they weren't doing anything anyway. Just making it like the newer 4.0s. I've attached a photo of what our engine bay looked like back in December (looks a little different now) with the HO air box.

Yeah, at some point when somebody put the bullbar on this Comanche, they relocated it to just lie there in that mess of wires lol. I haven't messed with it because I heard leaving it in the bumper was a common failure point anyways iirc. Which lines did you cap off? (sorry if that's a dumb question, just want to be sure) And do you happen to know what purpose putting in the HO air box is? I'm mostly worried about having to hack up a brand new vacuum harness trying to make it work with this air box.

We intentionally put in a HO air box and capped a bunch of vacuum lines so it should work fine. That's an interesting location for the vacuum can. That is supposed to sit inside the front bumper on the passenger side. One of my sons once deadpanned when we had a bumper off that it must be the blinker fluid reservoir.

This one is for the HO years with the unobtainable thermistor.

I’m asking myself the same question and I’m not gonna complain haha. But you’re right. Not like anyone is restoring that car. Let alone daily driving it. I kinda did though and I’ll take whatever I can scoop up and hopefully have some sensors to last a lifetime. I’ll do a video on where they go soon. I think we all could have a idiot light on our info centers in our MJs let us know when it’s time to change the pads.

Oldie, but a goldie! I love how the vent flap was not painted from factory

my question stands. how can they possibly exist? it's not like they made a ton of Dynastys. I feel you won the nos parts lotto here or something.
