Hello, I would like a pretty much complete black interior in good to great shape. I wouldn't need door panels or seats ... I was thinking of painting my tan stuff and may still do that ... but just throwing it out there

Maybe flush was a bad word to use, but I'm sure it should be up higher than this.

Yeah, they're lined up. So no one else has had problems with these? You guys' have just gone on real easy?

So I can't get my pitman arm flush with my new (to me) steering box. It won't hammer flush,and when putting the nut on to try and tighten it and force it up, I got the nut so tight it won't budge with a long pipe on my wrench and the pitman arm is still a ways away from being up where it should. I had to use a puller to get the arm off the old box ... are they tapered or something? Why can't I get it flush?! .... anyone have any tips?

I know they switched polarity in the gauges in 1991. I have an 89 tank and sender and a 96 gauge cluster, so mine reads full when empty and vice versa. You did put the same sender back in,right? Maybe you somehow hooked the wires up backwards when reinstalling it? If it was that easy, I'd go switch mine so it was right ...

Holy crap you guys are making me appreciate my Comanche so much more! Drove about 20 minutes for it, trailered it home ... paid $700 for it... Didn't run, but had an engine ready for it ... rust free rockers and wheel wells ...

Title says it all - are those dummy axles worth anything or should I just scrap it? I have one from doing the 4wd conversion.

The seat wasn't the cause of the window falling out. For one, that seat isn't bolting in or anything, that's why it looks like its up against that window. When I sit on it, it rocks forward. It's not bolted in because I haven't figure out how to yet, I just placed it in there so I had something to sit on to move the truck around now that it's running. Haven't driven it on the road more than a mile or two since disassembly and having the new engine running. Also, when I pulled on the window very lightly, this happened: and one more small tug got it out completely. I think if I had driven it for a week or so it would have fallen out completely on its own. The metal all around it is rusty, and the paint and metal the sealant stuff is stuck to is peeling off, so the window really wasn't sticking to much. The window is out and cleaned up now, still need to clean up the cab area, then i'll slap it back in following that thread someone linked to. The reason I said about having someone else do it is because I always heard you wanted a pro to do it to make sure it was water-tight and long lasting. Some of you guys doing it yourself has given me the confidence to do it myself, though. Thanks for the tips!

Got the Comanche together enough to take it for its first spin, and was surprised how loud it was. Then I realized with no headliner or carpet or firewall padding, perhaps it wasn't too crazy. Get it home, and notice this: anyone have a similar thing happen? Whats the deal? I guess i'll have one of those windsheild van services come out and seal this up or is there a way to do it myself?

Passenger Side: decided to patch up those other two small holes instead of leaving it to the por 15 as you guys suggested And the big hole: Next step is por-15'ing

disconnectedness - awesome word

I am about to do this myself, already have the doors and stuff. Mine have heated power mirrors as well to add to the confusion, haha. When I do it I can take pictures and stuff and make it easy for you to follow along (put 12v here, ground this, etc.) and post it back here. Or perhaps make a DIY thread if there isn't one already. It may be a few weeks, but I'll do that if it'll help you.

Just thought I'd update ... thanks for everyone's suggestions!! Here is the driver side as it sits now. I don't currently have pictures of the passenger side, but I can post some then. I decided to patch all those little holes, too. Its all done and ready for the por-15! The light grey metal is this floor pan: http://c2cfabrication.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=72&osCsid=1c358ef5od8o8d73qpg4avhuv5 It fit really well and was only $44.99. Obviously I had to trim the bottom half because I didn't need the whole thing. The dark grey is a cut from my donor XJ. That worked out really well because I needed the bracket that's behind there for my 4WD conversion anyway, haha. The brownish section is sheet metal bent to mimic the top rail section on the passenger side. Hopefully it provides more support than just slapping the pan on top of the bottom half of the rail. Comanche is almost done! It's running and the lift is all done, as soon as I get the rear shaft back from the shop (Had them take nine inches off of the 2WD shaft to accomandate new 4.0 HO, AW4, NP231, SOA, 2" blocks and new spring perches which give about an inch) I can drive it!

That is definitely the best way to do it. I just got done putting my '95 cherokee HO in my comanche, though, and I mickey moused it a bit. Much easier, haha. here's what I did: (talking about the cherokee fuel lines here) Pulled the lines off the engine Right at the engine its soft line, then it turns into hard line, and turns back into soft line near the tank. Next the tranny the hard line is really straight and runs along the frame rail, I cut there using a tube cutter. Just cut wherever you think you'll have the most access. Flare the ends where you cut it with a flaring tool since the hard line is now flared, you can get soft fuel line by the foot from the auto parts store, and hose clamp it on right behind the flare without worries run soft line from your cut to the comanche fuel filter (replace it while you're at it) for the in line, and the whole way to the comanche tank for the return line. My comanche tank and pump are running the HO just fine. zip tie everything in place ... voila

My problem was that I didn't have a neutral safety switch plugged into the 89 harness at all, as I'm using the 95 for all of the drivetrain. So, I did have it labeled before I pulled the 89 engine and trans but wasn't getting 12v there after since the 89 wasn't seeing the NSS.
