Sorry for the delay. I was not ignoring you. I had to get home to measure the distance from my skull to the roof. I am 5' 9" and I have 6" from my head to the headliner sitting in the passenger seat. I used the passenger seat because normally the do not get sat in as much as the drivers seat and tend to be a little taller. Hope that help you. No worries, just curious. :cheers: I also used the bottom cushion from a passenger seat for that exact reason. :popcorn:

I can pick the solid back glass from the junk yard. Let me know if this is the route you want to go - seen one just this weekend. Just called LQK in St.Pete and they want $25 for the one piece glass. As long as we pack it well, I don't think shipping would be bad at all. :cheers:

Still in my top 3 MJ's of all time :bowdown: . Enough sucking up - I am thinking about doing the same thing, but I am worried about the exhaust fumes getting in through the slider window - or inside the topper with my pups. Have you experienced any issues with the fumes getting in? I ask because it happens in the CJ/YJ's when they dump straight out the back. Thanks, Rich

Heck yeah, that looks great! I have been putting that project off for a while now. I'm using the older style OH Console, but I think I like this one better :doh: . I hope nobody asked this already - how much headroom do you have with those seats in there - they look nice, but tall? Very interesting build-up :cheers:

The Comanche Chief decals look good with that color. Welcome to the club :cheers:

:rotf: Neil Diamond - that 's

That sucks :fs1: . Glad your OK.

She's a keeper ;)

OMG that is awesome {some silly little smiley inserted here}

Make sure you post a few "before" pictures of the truck. I always love to see how the project started out ;) . That sucks about the windshield. My windshield was the cause of all my floor rust :fs1: . I hope you can get one of those S10 bumpers on it soon; I am dying to see a write up on it. JohnQ said at one time he was attempting to do the same thing. You may want to hit him up for some input. Keep us posted on the build-up, it should be very interesting :cheers: - Rich

Looks like it is going to be a fun project :cheers: . I have to agree with everyone, I'm loving the lift!

I love your first truck. Being a CJ guy, I can't understand why anyone would want to go to front leaf spring :dunno: . We were always trying for shackle reversals & BDS coil kits. My MJ drives a heck of a lot better than any of my CJ's. Not being an arse at all, :hmm: but what are the benefits?

Hands down the buckets!

Alright :beerhead: pictures! Is that a Dodge rear bumper on there? Looks good - Rich

Ha, never heard that before. Welcome to the club :waving: . You sound like you have a lot of knowledge to offer us! :cheers: - Rich

:agree: Sweet, sweet, sa-weet :bowdown:

Now that is cool! :clapping:

That is more like it ;) . Here-> Are you happy now? I am sure my motor will be :brows:

Welcome to the club :cheers: . That is one clean garage ;) . I wish mine was that neat. Truck looks like it is in great shape :thumbsup: . When you get a chance, post up a few more pictures so we can all :drool: over it. - Rich

That's what friends are for Rich... Friends don't let friends use FRAM... :rotf: :rotf: :rotfl2: - Thanks

:dunno: what? The oil filter . . . why? Because of their high rate of failing. Just do a simple "fram" search, you'll see.. To many people have had bad things happen because of that low end filter. Read somewhere here that our engines are a carbon engine, meaning they don't burn up alot of the carbon when combustion happens. All that crap gets circulated through your engine, the only defense is the oil filter. Fram is a crap filter.. I run NAPA Gold or Puralator on all my engines.. >>>JUST SEE FOR YOURSELF<<< here's a good writeup too... http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilters/index.html But it has the non-slip grip - it has to be good :doh: . Now all that fancy jockeying for space, creative hose routing, and good old fashion Jeep engineering and all you guys could say is "ooh look at that Frame filter :shake:. - :yes: Nice write-up and thanks for the heads up! I am going to Napa today and picking up their Gold filter. Thanks again guys :thumbsup:

:dunno: what? The oil filter . . . why?

Yep, I got ya. I adjusted (bent) the metal bracket stop when I was in there the last time. I believe it just bent back to the original non-working position. I will try yours and Pete' suggestion and take a little off the hook :cheers: .

:eek: :cheers: :clapping: I can't imagine working on the Comanche outside in the snow :bowdown: . Insane - Rich

I used the same overflow bottle from Napa that Chico used on his project here -> viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10762&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15 . And Just like Chico’s, “the nipple on the bottom of the plastic overflow tank that I put by the air filter didn't even have a hole in it” and I had to drill mine out too. I had to remove the air box to mark and drill the holes for the new bottle. -> I had to move and extend a few wires to make room for the tank. I was also not able to use one of the clips that secure the top of the air cleaner box, so I just removed it. I started the return line from the bottle and snaked it around the bolts underneath the air box -> Se can see the new location of the emissions pieces in this picture. I trimmed a few of the vacuum line to clean it up and get it back into place. I then ran it by the clutch reservoir -> and long the back firewall -> And finally connected it to the Macs aluminum over flow tank -> I also put on the relay cover I picked up some time ago at the P&P to finish it all up ->
