i don't think a master list exists yet. I'm picturing it with photos of the plethora of possible points of penetration. some of them are not all that obvious when your interior is still intact and I think this might help out immensly.

it's over in our regular for-sale section he's a member here.

go to the main forum page and it's one of the choices. https://comancheclub.com/forum/41-mj-hardcore-tech-epic-journeys-to-greatness/

I've not seen a dually version of the MJ/XJ crewcab yet. having a set of extra tires in the back won't be especially useful, but it'll look cool. a single pair of HD tires can do anything that the Comanche frame can handle. except maybe if you wanted to haul a truck camper, then the extra width could provide more stability.

there's one in the Epic Tech subforum. but there have been several and each one is different.

found this little guy in the fridge leftover from when I brought home all those weird beers. It's... not horrible.

sooooo.... apparently providing some shrapnel to your airbag is a thing

I promise I got it from somewhere. I didn't snap the photo.

got a li'l project I'm working on complete with a Yuengling and a donor Jeep. (mostly I need the rear "axle" rod) the plan is to hit it with 20 volts of dewalt power and see how fast it'll go with my nephews at the helm. normally power wheels see 5-7 mph at 12 volts, but not only am I upping the power, I'm changing the gear ratio out with one from a smaller-tired Jeep which should provide an even bigger boost

try a google reverse image search

nice! I doubt I'll ever own one that clean. seems like now's the perfect time for a dual booster swap

you need to start some build threads so we can all get to know your trucks

nice!!!

the tube isn't continuous inside those cast mounts. you'll need to retube. (or find a way to weld to the casting) it's a huge step (unless you go with the radius arms like I did)

relays are relays. if it was 30 years old, it was on borrowed time. if it was cheap, it was cheap. I always carry some spares. fuses too. a trip to a junkyard should provide more than you'll even need.

woo-hoo! a new generation of Jeeper!

a cracked aluminum rim can absolutely be repaired. been there, done that. (I didn't do the actual welding)

one of the choices I've contemplated with my 88 is repainting the hood/roof with a complimentary color (mostly because I'll never be able to match 30 year old red). I'd still have to deal with the tops of the fenders/bed, but maybe some polishing up and hitting with better clear can save them? there are spots on my roof and hood that are beyond saving (down to primer). good to see ya my friend

don't forget that 78-79 ford 1/2 ton front 44s have the cast-in C-brackets that make life more... challenging.

dang. mine was at least a good phone when new. still works good as a camera but has the typical low-light limitations of that era.

I'm likely more familiar with obsolescence than most. my phone-phone is an 8 year old Rugby Pro. it works great as a phone (and calendar/alarm/weather/camera/flashlight/etc). less so as an internet surfboard. like a lot less so. like I can get google results pretty regularly, but clicking a link usually results in failure. But that's just fine with me and my dinosaur ways. if it ever stops being a phone, my S7 active will step up and take its place. on a side note, if anyone is looking for a good first-phone for their kid, the I547 Rugby Pro is about perfect. It's a smart phone (and a pretty good one when new), but it can't run any gaming apps (no processing power to speak of), but it's tough and it's a phone. new batteries are still available plus they dirt cheap. I bought a 3-pack of them on ebay for 30 bucks last year and one was even brand spankin' new (after 7 years of being clumsy I finally broke my screen with a 6ft drop to concrete and needed to swap my guts)
