  5. It looks Great Don! I think you have done your home work on this already, but just remember the hood will hit the passengers side wiper arm if you raise it up to far. Just be careful

    Retired?

    OMG I hope that is real - 'cause it is beyond funny :rotfl2: :jump: :rotf: . Please tell us (me) where we can join a stripper forum :bowdown:
  7. I will be doing that from now on :thumbsup: I do it too keep out of the sun and heat. Can't imagine even leaving my bed at 30*F, let alone working on my MJ :bowdown: . Thanks, but I about pulled a "Ben" and shart myself on that one. Everything will be fine after {if} I get a paint job. :cheers:
  8. No problem Jeff, it is out of your control. I will be heading out early Sat morning to hang out with a college buddy in GA. Then I am going to see family in New Bern, NC on Sunday. I will probably be there for a few days. Maybe I could drive up on the way home for a meal and a beer. PM me you number and I will keep in touch. :cheers: - Rich
  9. Did they have color photography in 82, or did Ted Turner get a hold of your old B&W's? :yes: I am willing to let JT take my punishment for that - no need for both of us to get the headlock :rotf: :cheers: - Rich
  10. Hoo's in, but unfortunately I am out - which really sucks. I understand, it's not your fault. I hope all goes well Jeff. Maybe another time :cheers:
  11. :oops: Thanks...I don't feel that way, as I like to think that most anyone would have done the same. And that reply just proves it :thumbsup: . Well done.
  12. Definitely a hero in my book. :cheers:
  13. Jeff, The house and lawn look great. Moving the date ahead was a brilliant way to get Hoo off the schedule, but not quite enough to get me to drop. Unless the move-in date is July 4th, I will still be coming up :wavey: . I think I am going to leave Friday - just in case I run into any troubles on the road. See you on Saturday - Rich
  14. Great progress and nicely done :cheers:
  15. :thumbsup: :cheers: All I can say is - GREAT JOB!
  16. :agree: :yes:
  17. It's good to have Choices. I am happy for you :thumbsup: .
  18. YOU MEAN WIFES ARE ALLOWED TO COOK TOO!!!!! I need to go have a talk with her! :fs1: Psst - and do the dishes :clapping:
  19. Good call. :thumbsup: Lovely morning ~ I got up early and the wife had a breakfast sandwich and tall glass of OJ ready for me. Now, I could slowly wake myself up reading a few posts on the Comanche Club while woofing down a well balanced breakfast. Nothing says "go get-em tiger" like a good CC post. I spilt the OJ and choked on the sandwich :rotf: . No good deed goes unpunished :clapping: :yes: :rotfl2: . Aaah, indeed a lovely morning. :cheers:
  20. Welcome to the club! Very cool & creative job you did on the headliner. I can't wait to see what you do next :cheers:
  21. X2! A lot of nice jeeps. Thanks for posting them :thumbsup:
  22. Thanks Hoo. It's like a bad relationship; we all work on these things to where we have ourselves fooled into believing that it is going to work. False hope is then reinforced by appearing to work for days at a time, until you come home early to find her in bed with . . . ~ well that's not it at all. I got so fed up with it that I set it up so there was no second guessing - it had to work.
  23. Pete asked me to post this in the DIY forum. If he thinks it good enough to be here who am I to argue? So here it is ~ I can only comment on what worked on my 1989 Comanche. I am not an encyclopedia of all things Comanche; just all things My Comanche. The windshield wipers on my 1989 Comanche seem to go out every time I use them ~ usually during a massive down pour. When on the rare occasion they do work, it isn’t for long. And I seem to only get one speed out of the motor ~ slow. I decided to order a new wiper motor and see if that would do anything to improve my safety issue. I decided on ordering a new $50 Crown wiper motor from Teamcherokee.com ~ part number 56001402 -> The shiny new motor-> Took the cowl cover off and unhooked the windshield wiper fluid tubes off. Cowl off -> There are 4 T-30 torx bolts that hold the two wiper arm mounts -> There are a total of four 7/16th nuts, two above the map sensor and two others on the fire wall that hold the cowl support brace on -> Inside on the back side of the map sensor is the brace that the two 7/16 nuts support. There is one 10mm bolt that secures the motor bracket in place that needs to be removed. It took a little finagling, but I did get the wiper assembly out -> I removed the old motor off the frame and paid careful attention to the positioning of the arms and motor. Good thing I took pictures before taking the old bushings off, because I forgot about half way in, lol. Quick note about the rotating assembly arms and motor position – the exact position of the motor’s drive shaft and arms do not matter. The motor turns in one direction and 360 degrees. The rotating assembly is set up so the arm start positions and furthest points away are constant. I also decided to replace the 3 linkage bushing cups on the motor arms. I picked up a Dorman HELP! Wiper Linkage Bushings pack at AutoZone ~ part number 49447. It is an assortment pack and included the 3 bushings needed to complete the project. The old ball and bushing socket -> The new bushings look like this -> One bushing in place, two more to go -> Ready to go back in -> I got everything back in place and even reinstalled the rubber motor boot. I was sure to add RTV to the front and back of the bolts and nuts that went through the fire wall – don’t want any rust or unnecessary water in the cowl/ wiper assembly area if possible. I also used some Lock-tite on the screws that hold the motor on to the frame. Everything thing seems to be working great, but I have not had it out for real world testing. For now, it seems to have all the features you would expect, slow to faster intermediate mode, slow, and fast wipes. I will have to play with the exact position of the arms to get the most of the full cycle of movement. Looks real promising at this point. Final picture with wiper blades and arms installed -> I have documented this and many other upgrade to my Comanche in my build thread here -> viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8051. Thanks for looking, Drahcir
  24. Fixing the Harmonic Balancer caused my interior lights, electric fan, and radio not to work :fs1: . I don’t know how they could possibly be connected, but some how they seem to be. Check and rechecked all fuses and they were all good. Crap! Just days before the VA meet and greet. No way can I go on that trek without tunes. It is time for me to get serious about this frickeen power problem. Started with the radio; no power to the pink wire. Decided to get a new fuse block and try and back feed the power to the pink – * took out the fuse from the factory box and left it out. Went to a marine supply place and picked up these-> It is a remote Fuse Panel: part# 15600-06-20 & a Power Post for the dedicated ground: part # 2011. Found a sweet location for the ground post under the dash and ran a 1410AWG wire directly to the negative battery post – I am not playing around any more. Power post would cover this Hole for ground-> I would have to drill out two holes on either side of the opening. ~ Before -> After drilling out the holes and installing the post-> Front side ~ installed -> Drilled a few holes for the screws and mounted the fuse block here-> Used the left over 10AWG Red wire from my headlight upgrade and ran it from the new fuse block directly to the battery. I attached all of the grounds to the post and locked it down. Used the new fuse block for the radio, the eclectic fan, and to back feed all of the interior accessories. I was sure to use all the recommended size fuses and everything is working like it should now.
