best update of them all

sweet find! I've got one too. I think it might even be a 96. I snagged the mint "passenger" (driver) seat too.

i mean, it depends entirely on what the plan is once it's at your house. resto? daily? gut it for a giant, fire-breathing V8? If I was looking for a resto to take to the local car shows, I'd totally jump on that. well, if we didn't already have the Z.

found a long enough break in the rain to mount the new fire extinguisher. a bit smaller than the last and tucked up higher so it no longer interferes with the passenger's leg.

pics of what you bought?

oh my...

tire imbalance can definitely trigger it. everything that can move should be suspected and inspected. have someone violently saw the steering wheel back and forth from 10oclock to 2oclock while you watch and feel every joint up front. pay close attention to the aforementioned track bar bracket for any movement (plus check for cracks in teh side of the frame between the track bar bracket and steering box). look at the balljoints and bushings too. if your control arms are original, it might be time to replace them because the rubber just gives up over time (I prefer the WJ lower arms). jack up one tire at a time and violently shake it (side to side, not in the rotation direction) with your hands at 9oclock and 3oclock, and then with your hands at 6oclock and 12oclock. use a crowbar to try and pry up the ball joints from the knuckle. any movement is bad. 9/3 shows problems in the wheel bearings, 6/12 in the balljoints. DW is a complicated thing that won't have a single source. it's a combination of small slop in things that leads to uncontrolled side to side oscillation of the tires that builds on itself with each lurch and thus tries to kill you. (comes with the territory of the suspension design). plus caster comes in to play with lifted Jeeps. fixing a single thing can sometimes bring it back under control juuuust enough to prevent the next event, but I always encourage replacing anything that is even remotely bad up front to get ahead of the problem.

honestly, my brain hadn't gotten that far ahead. the one side is a cup, so it should be straight forward. the other side is... partly open.

like something out of junkyard wars. "build a classic truck out of this modern truck. you've got one hour."

I know. I just want to add the newest VINs to the registry. but we did just that a few months ago and can't see a way to organize the list at all to isolate the newest entries.

are we just talking about the tailgate pivots? what about just buying a sheet of thin tephlon and cutting a strip to wrap around the pivots?

we've been through this site before to add to the CC registry, but I see no way on my laptop to organize it by "most recently added". am I missing something? I used 2 different browsers. I can't figure out how they are organized and I've got no great desire to enter 15 pages of MJ VINs to find the couple new ones. https://poctra.com/JEEP-COMANCHE-for-sale-1

so very shiny.... welcome to the club!

shipping is going to be so much that I would buy both tails. that way you have a spare housing to practice on when it comes time to removing the old lens to glue on the new lens.

seems like it's worth a shot!

looks like it's factory! also, fun fact: that dealership is where I bought my Dakota R/T

go back and snag that shifter column! it's about 4hrs from Detroit so I'm unlikely to get there anytime soon.

sorta. your original build sheet was even bigger, but a lot of info was lost back in the day and this is all that's left in the Chrysler computers. but the birthday and selling dealership have so far proven to be accurate.

PDFs for the various factory service manuals are in the link in my signature.

is your cooler integrated into the radiator?

yeah, I would check with the fullsize Jeep groups. maybe someone makes new ones?

testing procedures for the various sensors are in the link in my signature also there are the PDFs of the various factory shop manuals.

I'll keep ya posted. I'm heading to Michigan a few days before the show, so I'm not yet sure what day the drive north might be.

we can try at-ing him @comanche09
