I have two delemias that I have been trying to resolve. The first one being my rear view mirror. Ever since having the windshield replaced I have not been able to use my rear view mirror. Also it have not been able to able to find a replacement for it. It has the mount already attched and is not the same as the newer more common version. I have ordered new mirrors from three different companies all claiming that they will fit the 1990 Cherokee . The company that put in the new glass said it is already on the windshield when they pick them up and the rear view mirror mounts are year correct. Well that sucks. He said I could take a torch and carefully heat up the mount and slowly wiggle it off ! The theory is the heat of the sun is what makes them fall off in the first place. Nah, I am not even going to entertain that idea. So for now, I’ve had the new mirror just hanging loosely up there, very redkneck chic. Now the second issue. Ever since installing the tire carrier, the spare and Hi-Lift jack are pretty much blocking my view -> Even if if I do get the correct mirror, I still won’t be able to see jack . It is not fun backing up now. I have been wanting to get a dash camera after watching all the YouTube road rage videos, but it’s really a useless thing to buy. Looking on Amazon I found a better idea than the impractical dash cam, a rear view camera! The Amazon choice was the Leekooluu back up camera -> It had a 4.5 stars and 1,273 reviews. Best of all it was 37 dollars shipped! I will be posting up the installation very soon. Update - I have gotten the backup camera installed and I like it! JCR included a bracket to hold the license plate inside of the mounted spare tire. My rim is 15 inches and the way the bracket is mounted it wouldn’t fit in the rim 🤨. It also came with a brake light and license plate light but JCR doesn’t include instructions on how to hook them up, so I have no idea how to get them to work . No big deal; I just mounted the license plate to the end of a old trailer hitch and mounted it into the bumper. Got the camera set up on the bracket inside the wheel -> I like how this is going. Ran the RCA cables through the tire carrier and into the Jeep by way of the passenger side tail light -> I would have taken more pictures of how I ran the wires up through the headliner up to the front windshield, but it did not go well. My best friend the fish tape turned out to be useless 😡. It would just curl up above the headliner and never make it more than 12”. I am going to return it and get the metal one instead. I have a lot more to fish under the carpet and I can’t use oak tree branches to get the cables to where the need to be. Funny because it’s true. Here it is -> Just need to find a positive wire that is activated when the ignition is turned on so I can just have it come on when I go to start the XJ. Just need a few minor adjustments to the position of the camera itself and I am all set!

I have been spending a lot of my free time working on the Cherokee. I have been focusing on all the accessory wiring - stereo, amp, lockers, winch, etc. I have been taking off all the interior plastic to get all the wire runs in. There had to be a better way . Meet my new best friend -> it is is an electricians fish tape! It allows you to “fish” a flexible fiberglass rod through tight spots, like interior panels, to pull your wires through . Under $10 at harbor freight and already paid for itself in time and frustration. TBC

thanks

I agree! Looks great on there.

Finished two things today. First I got ice cold air in the Jeep but it cost a fortune. Everything that could be wrong was wrong Went waayy over budget, but did I say ice cold air! Never had a Jeep with air before and that is more than a few. The next thing I did was put on the Comanche Club window banner . Ta-dah I think it looks great on there even if it isn’t a Comanche

I had wanted a Comanche dually since seeing my first one. I was going to make it my daily driver, but then I started my family. All my free time is invested into them now. I am glad you were looking forward to the build but hopefully somebody on CC will finish the project for all of us to over. I am investing all my project money into my XJ so I can carry the kids around. I will finally finish a project lol. This one will actually be painted. Something I never had done on my other jeeps. No matter where this is sold, I will make sure that they know they have a home here at the Comanche Club.

Going to sell the complete dually kit including the rims. I just need to figure out how to save the pictures to my phone so I can post it up in the classifieds.

I was wondering why I kept getting this black dirt around the fuel door. Looking back I feel stupid for not knowing . One day I smelled gas while getting out of the Jeep. I realized it was from the gas cap. It has obviously been bad for years. During My research. The consensus was to get the mopar brand. Went to the local Jeep dealership and for just under $18 I got a new one - part number 52100205 cap:Fuel Filter. It’s for the 1990 year Cherokee. The problem is fixed

First I want to thank Fiatslug87 for selling me the Tuffy center console lock box . I’ve wanted one for a long time now and they have been discontinued. It is in excellent condition -> I had no instructions on what was needed to put the box in. I figured that the two ribs on the bottom of the arm rest would have to be removed, so I cut them off with a dremel cutoff disc. It then looked like it would lay flat against the top of the box. -> Here it is in its new home -> plenty of room now for my dangerous toys 😉.

300k - nice! I can’t say that I haven’t seen one like yours. I would like to see how it looks set up like that

It has rusted out spots in floor pan, but I can fix that. If I didn’t have all the parts lying around I would have passed on it. I am glad I didn’t. I would have taken any color but red lol. Most of them around here seem to be that color. Sorry about your dad. Mine never owned a Jeep.

Thank you 😊 i can't find the receipt for the tray but I believe it was $89 shipped from Quadratec. All the JCR products have gone up in price, so now it looks like they are $99.

Excellent! Looks just like mine when I got it. Gotta love the blue interior. Welcome to CC

Thanks to nickintime’s YouTube episode, I saw his center console switch set up and wanted to copy it. I am also putting in a remote winch setup as he described in his video. First thing I did is buy a 3 switch mounting plate off Amazon for my two locker switches and the other for backup lights? I cut it the bottom of the coin slot and bolted down the plate with stainless steel button head bolts -> I am putting in remote winch controls and need a spot for the two switches. Then, like I said, I saw nickintimefilm’s shifter cover plate with two rocker switches in it! I copied his placement and cut out the holes. I have the winch power switch and the in/out switch mounted in the holes. Came out nice -> installed -> I already have the winch, so I will post all of the installation details as I complete the upgrades. TBC

My battery tray is falling apart so this is a good time to upgrade. I looked for one that would be a better solution to hold down the battery, but there are not a lot of options that I could find? So, I am familiar with JCR Off-road and they had one available. I ordered one from Amazon and it arrived in 3 days. Here it is -> I will have to post up pictures after I install it.

Yes, the floor pans were issues in most of mine too. Lol, never get rid of mine either. This new XJ will be the only one with new paint!

Had the day off, so I took a little time to run speaker wires and install the New JCR Off-road cubbie mate. I did not want to fill that spot up with an expensive sub box and otherwise that spot is useless. This at least gives the area some options. I really like JCR’s product designs but their powder coating is a little on the skimpy side. Only thing I did different is replace the screws with some stainless steel button head bolts and nuts. Looks pretty good. What am I going to put in there lol

Lol, that made me feel not so dumb . Thank you

PM sent

Thank you

That worked

Ok. I feel like an but I can’t figure out how to pm someone. It can’t be this difficult? Can somebody just give me a hint

Yep, interested. I can’t figure out how to pm you?? Could you pm me and I can reply to that?
