  1. indeed!
  2. weld in what new panel? the bed corner? that can be popped back out by any decent body shop.
  3. I'm not doubting the logic of a universal harness, I'm mad that the ends just dangle about in the engine bay.
  4. in AMC's infinite genius the wire harnesses were built for multiple trim levels and they just left the extra wires dangling around if not needed on that particular truck.

    Went to Ouray

    beautiful! the mountains are full of cool stuff.
  6. having said all that, it is possible (though unlikely) that your front combo valve was poorly machined and the emergency bypass doesn't connect. Eagle found one like that.
  7. I think you're supposed to leave the rear closed when you open up a front to move the internal bypass. you need to fake that eh fronts have failed so that the system opens up the bypass line. be sure to have a hose/bottle hooked up to the front open bleeder so you catch the fluid.
  8. the most common are windshield seals and hvac gaskets but literally every hole in the sheetmetal has leaked for some poor soul at some point in time. door seals, door windows, rear windows, fusebox seal, etc. Everything should be tested. I once had a leak at the top left corner of my windshield in the 86 that dribbled down inside the a-pillar and dumped out onto the floor at the kickpanel. if it wasn't for the powder trick I'd have never found that one. I had another leak in my 88 that originated from the seal at the back of the hood and dribbled down in the engine bay 'til it found a non-factory wire that poked through a gasket in the firewall that wasn't perfectly sealed up. all should be suspect, all should be tested.
  9. I love it update on the wiper motor?
  10. wow, those old ones were toast
  11. yup. gotta find that leak.
  12. the junkyard seems popular. but honestly I haven't heard of a lot of booster issues so am not sure what to recommend.
  13. howdy stranger! good to hear from ya!

    these fold-out shades are super popular (and expensive)
  15. been a few years since I've grown Cukes, but right now in teh main garden there is precisely 1 and only 1 that has grown to normal size and like 200 that are still 2" long.
  16. been a long time coming, but I'm finally getting around to replacing the fan clutch. should be here in a couple days. I'll also be modifying the fan shroud so it's removable with the fan in place. while I was at it I removed the belt and all the pulleys feel nice and tight. I've got a slight squeak that comes and goes but at least none of the bearings are completely shot yet.
  17. BIN at $60 says shipping is $30 but that doesn't seem accurate to me so be aware it might be a typo. https://www.ebay.com/itm/jeep-comanche-bench-seat/254673301614?hash=item3b4bb6306e%3Ag%3AgbgAAOSw3MNfJZrI&LH_ItemCondition=4|10
  18. lookin' good! be sure to start a build thread to share the adventure.

    "greedy" and "hoarding" are just words. Words that other people use.
  20. this idea has potential!
  21. fencing was the only thing that worked in my michigan garden to keep the bunnies at bay. the sprays were only temporary at best. there's always air rifles though. maybe a live trap?
  22. neat! I bet those are pretty tasty
  23. Once you have it all out, do NOT replace anything until you have found the source of the water that caused that rust.
  24. your renix computer needs a renix flywheel. the clutches are interchangeable.
