Sugarfoot

I imagine she runs a little cooler too.

yeah well it's camping weather and an MJ is an MJ and we all spend a lot of time outside and some of it remotely.

I'm all ears. Can you PM me or just shoot me and email, jed101455@gmail.com

Nope no Guam, ended up states side on that Navy contract. Well I can understand when you're retired and have all kinds of time on your hands to polish all of it. Jeez life is OK looking forward to retiring myself. 3 more years. Then I can go back to looking for that chrome rear bumper full time.

Did not know it was hinged. But thanks for the part number and Retail price. 171.69 was pretty pricey in 1988. I can see why there were not many were sold. Evidently just one. lol

Anyone else have one of these? This is an AMC Comanche rear window louver that I picked up years ago. Is it in any accessories catalogue? At the time of the pic it was being held up by the plastic tool storage box also in the pic. I bought it off ebay as old stock. It came in the an AMC box and with AMC instructions. It attaches with 3M double sided tape. It fits the window perfectly. Problem is it blocks some vision through the window but that's to be expected. One of the nice points is it sure keeps the cab cooler during hot sunny days in Texas and the cab temp can get 140 degrees inside. It seems to be made of aluminum, and flat finished. The louvers are fixed and not movable.

Hey thanks I'll go check that out tonight.

Was it red packaging and had the help name on it? Was it adhesive mounting? I wonder if they have a catalogue. Thanks I'll check it out.

I have slept in mine before, the middle side windows crank open and you can leave the rear door open but with the gate up. I modified a 4x8 sheet of 3/4 CDX and elevated it over the wheel bed and in the front and back, one in the center (4x4 legs. Inflatable bed on top of it. Just don't sit up too quick your going to smack the roof pretty hard more than likely denting it good. It's old and supper light weight I can carry it by myself. So easy on and off. Power is brought from direct bolt up of 100 watt Black and Decker invertor through cab and rear sliding window. small fan, CPAP, radio, phone and 2 AA and 3 AA battery charger. A string of small Christmas lights all the way around is not in you eyes bright and not a hot light bulb either in bed. This is a later picture. I used to pull that pop up in the back. Nice to have it too but too dang big for an MJ that is a standard. It wanted to wag the truck when over 65. This pic is from outside Lake Charles (Sulfur) Louisiana while working Hurricane Rita. You can see the trees are just shredded. Rita's winds were stronger than Katrina's. Sugarfoot has been to her fair share of Hurricane's. Not one single time has she failed to start and deliver a day of work under the worst of weather conditions. Bullet proof 4.0. maybe grenade proof?

That silver MJ rig is a nice set up. Would have to go with electric in the back part as for a method of cooking. No open flame in that thing. But that's nice that you can stand up in the back. Wonder where he got that topper? Looks like it still leaves you some room for gear in the bed.

Try Camper World. I think they carry one.

Dodge Dakota rear lights will not work either. I have looked at them they initially looks like a maybe but held them up to the rear end of truck and it was a NADA. Look like its been a few years on this thread, anything new come up?

The hazard flasher was broke off years ago and has never effected the brake lights. but one thing i noticed when I swapped out the bad fuse in it was that the next one blew too. So it appears there is a short somewhere but I also tried a 25 and it did not blow but also did not bring the lights back. Harness in the back is good, Pete, I cleaned it well. Also the bulbs are good and the grounds appear to be good.. I would have cleaned them while I was back there but they are held on with small Phillips heads and are very tight. No rust though and a ground on each one too. So no help so far. Any other SAWG's? I'm going to check voltage at switch today with a neighbors volt meter.

My factory glass rear window is fine, but it has always been missing the locking latch. Anyone got a spare laying around or a suggestion?

The Hazard fuse was blown but upon replacement it was not the fix. Thanks Pete I remember I had that same problem years ago and i had forgotten it and i think you even told me the same thing then. OK so I'm getting old now. But mind you it was probably 2002-3. Hey I may be old but not as old as Don. Is all that chrome beginning to turn gray yet?

Took Sugarfoot in to get a new inspection and tags, everything was good except the brake lights were dead. Is there a fuze I'm missing? There is no fuse marked "BRAKE" on fuse box. Suggestions? Yes she does have a trailer hitch and a standard light connection. Last time I rented a trailer all lights worked and that was about 2 months ago. So I'm a bit in the dark. But I need to get her on the road. Headed to Houston then Baton Rouge for the NFIP.

They basicly used all the AMC parts in inventory and those that came to them from contracts signed previously. My 88 is no doubt all AMC. If I run across AMC logos or product /shiping tags on "Old Stock " listings I'm more interested in buying them. Esp accessory's. I think Chrysler really started cutting the accessory production after they took them over. Like: Hidden winch kit front bumper 1986 Chrome rear bumper ( of which Don is the only owner known to posses one) AMC mud flaps with the 3 color logo on them Rear window black louver ( I think I own the only one I have ever seen) anyone else? I still have the box with the AMC sticker on it. Running boards Street Comanch kits Chrome handle for tailgate Chrome bed light Genuine "Comanche" Stetson hat, Dealer promo ( I have one) Long bed roll bar

Done deal with a special thanks to MJRemi, good seller and shipper.

If it doesn'thave a chrome bumpers I don't want it. But that is a nice clean truck.

Ground problems are rampents on jeeps. Try to find the ground connection to the frame, if I recall it's back near the DS rear taillight. The wire that caries the voltage is black and orange I beleive . You can find it running under the truck under the drivers side (DS) running from front to back. Look for shorts in the wire also. turn the wire over checking for places it may have been rubbing on above it from the bottom of the bed. The ceramic connection on the DS fenderwell is the voltage reduction point for the fuel tank current. It may be loose or corodid. or the ceramic is cracked. You may need to check your fuse for bad contact, simple replace it. Also look for wire deteration near look fuse box from the back of the master cylinder fluid that leacks down the back side of firewall. You can pull the speedometer and disconnect and very carefully clean the copper contacts wiith alcholle or electrical spray cleaner.

Oh by the way? Know anyone out there with an Infiniti M30 convertible with parts for sale?
