what you will want depends entirely on what you plan to do with it.

jeepfest in Toledo

converting tot he open system is straight forward. should be a thread about it in the link in my sig. what is the reason for changing the intake/exhaust?

every time I see pics my heart jumps just like when I pulled up that random car cover

a little heads up would have been nice, Chrysler. I can't plan a trip north that fast. But it would appear they brought the ThunderChief out of hiding for the show.

I passed by a tacoma today that had one like that with all the gear to go with it. it more or less makes a giant shelf with lots of attachment points. i assume this one is supposed to have a roof rack attached to the top? maybe a tent?

have you tried pulling off the fender and bending the individual mounting points?

there are scores upon scores of project threads to peruse in the projects forum the key is to identify what you want to do with the truck and work backwards to figure out what parts you'll need to do that.

yeah, 86 was a... weird year. thankfully they figured it all out in 87 and gave the overdrives 4.10s.

definitely has that popular overlanding vibe to it.

has the donor truck been added to the VIN registry yet?

any reason why this wouldn't work on an 87 or 88? tierod ends tapered the same? https://www.amazon.com/Crown-Automotive-RT21004-Steering-Kit/dp/B01DQT40XO

score!

your belt is not going to be a happy camper with that misalignment. not certain what the fix would be though. those gauges are going to be awesome

snazzy!

indeed it should.

yeah, 1986 was a weird year in which they hadn't yet standardized the ratios yet. bummer man looks like a great project regardless

ah yes, the glorious irony of needing to spend money on a thing that you're trying to sell because you don't have money. I bet I can snag something at the junkyard... I've looking for an excuse to hit up pull-a-part north anyway.

I put the charger back on for a bit and eventually it clicked off an indicated full charge. battery read 11.6. tried to start the truck and it struggled mightily to turn over. either the battery is dead or my charger is.

that particular 60* has already given up the ghost. apparently a horrible rod knock is why the engine is partially disassembled.

it's the battery that came with my 88 MJ. I finally found my multimeter and it reads 10.6v and it was on the charger all night. and it appears to be leaking fluid out the top.

has a couple HUGE chunks of bondo separating themselves from the bed and pass door. engine isn't all there. chrome is in meh condition. guy said he would rather set it ablaze and junk it than take my $400. but maybe one of you could do better? I'm thankful he didn't take my cash, as that let me buy my new 88 a few months later. https://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/pts/d/acworth-1986-jeep-commanche/6952507316.html

you guys were right. eventually all was well. but it appears my battery is doing some weird things. might be dying. dang

this seems doable that would be on monday midday though. will you be around?
