This is all that came with it

Great example of what the MJOTM should be. Congratulations

That’s what I was going to try first - bench test it. I have zero idea of the magic involved in getting the lights to switch modes.- just opened it up and it’s not going to operate with rocker switches

I have a question about this rocker switch -> I have some LED fog lights that can be switched from white to amber etc. can one of these switches be used to toggle between modes if I switch it quickly, or does it have to be a momentary switch?

Thanks for all the great advice! I'm staying with the Renix. I also already have Nick's REM so that's one more reason to keep it simple

I've missed hearing from you Jeff. I met your wife, and she seems to have a passion for your passions

Geeze. I like Dimestore-Chrysler so much, it's in my "can't wait to get a chance to use it" file

If I get it all squared away and running, it's just a matter of maintenance at that point. I have to convince her that even new cars have parts that wear out. At least I don't need a degree in quantum physics to diagnose a problem. I know how to repair my jeeps.

Exactly why I’m down sizing. But the property is crying out need more jeeps

Wow!!! Great to hear from you

That is promising. I been picking up any Renix computers I can find. They are going for 90 bucks here but it is very nice to have spares. The switch would also require the complete wiring harness and possibly the gauge cluster. It is a lot of work that would be involved and $. I really need to research how others have adapted the fuel rails. I would also like to replace the home made ( I'm so tired I can't remember what the part is called that opens the TB plate) with the one that Hesco sells.

There sure is a lot of support on here indeed. I just wonder if I have already pushed passed it with the 98 I put in it? The whole engine - motor, exhaust, injectors, TB etc. The only thing is the fuel rail and Renix management system on it. I would Have to only figure out how to make the HO fuel rail work on the new motor?? I think i jerry rigged the stock one on it, but it's been so long I don't Rember?? I do already have Nicks REM here in a box I could use for diagnostics. Now, I'm leaning back towards the Renix

It would have been great to hear from Cruiser on this. And of course, Don. He says he will no longer be working on the Renix systems after mine. I won't be running a stoker because of the horror stories about getting them to run correctly and I'm now to practical with my aspirations - keeping it simple lol.

I replaced the original 89 motor for the 98 4.0 out of an XJ, so I don't know if that would simplify the process?

Say 10 hail Mary's and ask forgiveness from the jeep gods The addition to my family is what had me almost sell the Comanche when I got the XJ for the added room, so I get it

The Jeep mechanic I have my Comanche at would like to switch from the Renix engine management system to the newer versions that are used for the later HO systems (OBD1?). I have a 4.0 out of a 98 XJ running on the Renix system now. I can't remember all that was involved in getting it all to work, but it's a hybrid of the two. He tells me that the newer management systems are far superior and are much more abundant than the, what is becoming harder to maintain and find, Renix system. What do you think the pros and cons of this be? I was worried about possible confusion in parts and maintenance if I should need to have anyone else work on it. But then again, as I said above, it's now a confusing set up to explain any way. I may have just answered my own question, but it would be nice to hear it's the better plan.

I laughed. I cried, I even learned quite a bit reading this. The tidbits of humor strategically placed had me dying. This was so fun to read . I'm not sure if I looked more than a glance at the pictures, I was so caught up in what you were going to write next. I suggest you take a position with one of the 4wd magazines (if such a thing exists) as a contributing journalist. Excellent

When I had the space and was childless, I had 3 comanche's, an XJ, and two CJ's. Now that I have plenty of room, I am re-thinking the whole dually manche thing again. Yep, that's why I have the dependable Explorer for

That is funny. Thanks for the laugh.

Yeah get rid of one of your kids. I will keep my jeeps, dog and son. And not in that order

Have no idea why other than reliability potential. Very true

I figured I could not have been the first to try this . I was very proud of myself though!

Looking really great. My fence needed to be sealed, so I came up with an idea. I put the Thompson water sealer in a pump sprayer and sprayed the fence in record time. Not sure if the sprayer will ever work again, but that’s what the life time warranty is about. Not sure why I’m sharing this ., and not sure it would work with stain? Again, coming along nicely

You know, she was the only girl I ever dated that could drive the Comanche - manual and all. I moved away from family and lifelong friends to be somewhere with property and that small town feel. I hope to find a few jeep clubs my son and I can join and possibly some other MJ fanatics
