Best Way To Replace Floor Pans
rmoore1031 replied to ComancheJon's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I bought all new floor pans from RockAuto for $170 shipped. Then I had a shop weld them in and it got expensive. -
I think I still have mine. Are you talking about the chrome rain gutter that is above the door area? $20+ shipping. I'm outta town this weekend though.

1521643111554376 They sent that a week ago to me. Share it with your friends and family. Enter it in the "How did you hear about us"

They are outta the loop. "It's a Jeep thing." "Jeep wave." Doesn't mean only wranglers. I have received only a few waves while driving my XJ.

Not a fair trade. Comanches are way harder to find, around me at least. I know nothing about that car but I doubt its equally cool or awesome.

No Dash Lights On My 88
rmoore1031 replied to coyote kid's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Could be a bad headlight switch. the dash lights did not work until the switch was replaced. -
Believe it or not its actually at a junkyard getting new floor pans put in. Long story. I was looking all over NY for Comanche seats. Found dozens of Cherokee seats of all generations. Well one of the most knowledgeable guys at this junkyard is a Jeep guy. He builds them for fun and has worked on Cherokees and Comanches since they were new. So I figured it would good for him to do the floor. I don't have an estimate on cost though. They will be charging "below normal shop rates". It is a junkyard and this isn't the normal thing for them to do. So far I got $170 invested in the floor (rockauto including shipping, which was super quick). Another $50ish invested in Cherokee seats from a clean 96 Cherokee. With no bolt in option around I figured that new floors and clean seats that are easy to find would be a good idea. On a side note, I just found a new to me pick n pull yesterday. It actually had a Comanche with a clean bench seat but I don't have room to store it :/

I was junkyard hunting yesterday and met someone else with a Comanche. I drove through a town looking for a junkyard and couldn't find it. Pulled into Dollar General to ask for advice. They told me I was an hour away from closest one. Go outside to leave and a black Comanche pulls up. I jump out and talk to him. He was an older guy that didn't know much about it but gave me a lead to a guy with Jeep stuff. I tried to give him advice on his floor pans since mine are pretty bad too (mine are actually getting replaced at a shop now). His Comanche is a 89 MJ "Sportruck" 2.5L manual trans. By the time we were done talking, I couldn't follow his lead on Jeep parts since I had to pick up a Lund Sunvisor from someone on Craigslist. Anyway this is the second Comanche I have seen on the road in person. The other one was a few weeks ago in CT, I was stuck in traffic and couldn't catch him. I'll try to post some pictures later.

Pics are working for me. They are all from my build on CherokeeForum. You are linking to uploaded attachments on Cherokee Forum that require a valid logged in account on that site to view them. So no, they are not working. :P Thanks for pointing that out. I wouldn't have figured it. Especially since CherokeeForum and ComancheClub are my homepages when I open up Chrome. I'll try to fix it later, junkyard hunting today. -

Day 1 MOLLE Fishing pole holder Brush guard -
Just found out that ComancheClub is making a section for other non-MJ projects. I already have a build on CherokeeForum http://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/project-slow-zombie-148027/ but I got nothing going on today so I might as well kill some time. Spent a good amount of my summer in 2012 unemployed. While unemployed I spent time fishing, camping, and just exploring in the woods. I decided that I was bored of borrowing people's SUVs for fishing and camping. So I sold my 2008 Chevy Cobalt LS and bought a 1990 Jeep Cherokee Laredo with 116,000 miles. The XJ had 1 owner and was from PA so it has less rust than most NY vehicles. First things done to the XJ was bedlining the trim and flares. Also painted the wheels black. Found the Alice/MOLLE thread on CherokeeForum http://www.cherokeeforum.com/f67/ali...roject-146708/. Added a row of MOLLE above the cubby hole and on the glove box. Decided to add some fishing pole holders on to the top of my door trim area. Only cost $1 for broom clamps to use as fishing pole holders. Took a trip to my parents' home and my dad gave me his old CB radio, its a Cobra 29 LTD Classic. CB is mounted to the side of the transmission. Around that time a buddy installed my radio from my old Cobalt. One of my favorite Craigslist finds was my brush guard. I had to order tow hook brackets, find tow hooks at harbor freight, and get grade 8 hardware from a local hardware store. It ended up costing a bit of $$ but I like how it looks. Plus it does a good job for keeping brush away. Early fall of 2012 was kinda productive. I got a new Optima yellow top, did a blue LED dash light swap, new headlight switch, folding 97+ mirrors, "new" Wagoneer headrest. The leather headrest is really comfy, I don't care if they don't match. For Christmas 2012 my wife got me some OEM cup holders. Also have a set of Walmart cup holders so I went from 0 to 4 cup holders! Decided to ditch the LED dash lights, didn't like how it looked after awhile. It was a cold winter (-15 some nights). My radiator decided to crack in the extreme cold so I got a new radiator. Also got the Volvo cap upgrade from NAPA. January 2013 was pretty productive. New thermal relay, oil pressure sensor, new Monroe shocks all around. Best part was new tires. To be more specific I got 235/75R15 Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2s. Firestone sold them $1 over cost so that was a great deal. They replaced the crappy 205/75R15 which were at half tread and didn't do well in any environment. The new tires are amazing at everything, road, snow, mud, sand, dirt, and ice. Yeah I tried them out in all of those in January 2013, NY is a weird place. Got some floor liners and put my OEM floor mats in the cargo area. February 2013 also productive. Made up some MOLLE visors. Now I can have a knife, flashlight, glowstick, seatbelt cutter, pen, and notepad all in reach at anytime in the XJ. Got an offroad muffler since I broke my original one. Also scored a roof rack basket off Craigslist. Its kinda small but it was cheap and light. I use some u-bolts to secure it. Replaced my dash bezel with a wood grain bezel off a Wagoneer. March 2013 I request my build sheet. Chrysler had it since its a 1990. No luck with the 88 MJ's build sheet. Someone decided it was okay to hit and run my XJ. So I upgraded to Wagoneer tail lights instead of regular XJ tail lights. May 2013 has been painting. I'm taking a long time doing paint. I strip the white down to bare metal with a paint removal wheel on a drill. Then 2 coats of automotive primer and then OD Green. Stripping the paint to bare metal takes time and only on days it doesn't rain. Now I gotta figure out how to post pictures. Oh some future plans: Finish painting OD Green Redo bedliner on flares New rear bumper (probably Nates bumper) New front bumper (also Nates) OME 2" Lift (when I get more $$) 8K+ winch (no idea from where yet) Truck Lite LED Headlights (when I get more $$) LED off road lights (when I get more $$) 30+ gallon tank (I don't remember the name of company that makes it) What ever else sounds cools

Cluster Copper Contact Strip Repair?
rmoore1031 replied to SBpunk's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Is this the cluster I sent? I thought only the blinker bulbs need replacing? -
I've never seen a running Wagoneer around me. I'd like to have one eventually. My 90 XJ has Wagoneer tail lights, head rests, and dash bezel.
-
Price varies everywhere. Got a mine for cheap but its 2wd, rusted floors, and dented bed. Usually see them going for $1000 minimum. Then a built one goes for a few thousand.

I'm up by Watertown, NY. i got a 90 XJ and 88 MJ.
