" Body off resto "

Well I've already put a 1000 miles on her with minimal issues It runs great , plenty of power , handles great , rides good ( maybe a hair stiff ) stops on a dime , no rattles now ( there was one ) . There is a small oil leak that drops a few drops of oil on the exhaust, and for the first couple minutes it causes a little smoke while it burns off . While driving back from Butler Pa ( about an hour away ) I hit some railroad tracks doing about 25mph and heard some rattling then metal sliding against the asphalt. I stopped and looked to see what it was and found out it was the coil spring retainer that attaches to the axle housing with a 13mm bolt . I'm really surprised that is all that has happened as of yet , especially being that basically the whole truck had been taken apart . I think I'm going to leave it alone because I don't want to press my luck lol.

Looks good Troy . I spy a burnt red Comanche in the picture lol. I may have missed it , but what did you do with the box truck ? P.S. I'd be a buyer on the front bumper/spoiler if you decide to sell .

I had one break many years ago and used this to fix it http://www.dormanproducts.com/itemdetail.aspx?ProductID=15530&SEName=31001 I cut the stud off of the one side of the dorman bolt and welded it where the existing shock mount was ...

Black is the only color I've had them made in , although I haven't had enough interest in them to have more made right now ... I can let you know when I have more made if you'd like ?

The one on the right is for the 86 Mj , they do not connect at all ...

When I worked parts , occasionally we'd get a vehicle that had an aftermarket part like yours . We would call the A/C companies like Four Seasons and give them the dimensions and thread fitting sizes/ placement and they would give us a replacement part number . Good luck in your search , unless you go with having new hoses made , which wouldn't be a bad idea if your hoses are crumbling .

Any numbers on the old condenser ?

I have big boxes of brand new head bolts , if I know how many and what thread etc I'm sure we can work something out

While volunteering at the local Butler Jeep event this weekend ( Bantam Jeep Heritage festival) I figured I'd go check out the used and new jeep part vendors . One guy had boxes of jeep parts brand new in the box , some of the parts include , seat recliner handle , garnet seatbelt cover , 4.0 TPS , bellcrank for the throttle, power steering pressure hose , door locks , part catalog and dealer price books for 1988 . Now for the good stuff , Marchal 750 fog covers , MJ specific AMC branded splash guards and a NOS fuel sending unit 83503419/ 83504485

Me too , now I have go through every forum individually. I bought a new phone and attributed it to the phone change , but I'm not sure ...

What are the rear brakes like ?

That's great! And the truck is looking really good. What's next for it?Thanks . Not really sure exactly what I'm going to do right now , I have a whole bunch of ideas and only want to build it once . Things I know I want to do : Lizard skin the floor Paint some areas ( if not the whole truck ) because the paint is worn off in areas and I don't want it to rust Get the A/C working Install the FM modulator so I can use my iPod etc Install a good exhaust / header That's all I can think of at the moment ...

So I took the truck on its maiden voyage yesterday , drove it around town for several hours with no issues (yet lol) . I have to get the 37 tooth speedometer gear for it so I don't have to use my GPS . Also been working on getting it all cleaned up for Bantam next week . It's not finished by any means , but it's to a point where I can enjoy it a little .

I just googled "ugly Jeep " and there is no shortage of good candidates for this thread ....

And he gets the win for taking 4 parking spots....

Bump

There are several pictures on the second page that are still up and working . I got a new phone , but will update the missing pictures .

So my moms husband called me today and wants me to do some side work for him . He has a 1964 tbird that he's restoring for a couple doctors and he needs the drivetrain removed so the body can be sent out for media blasting . While the body is gone he wants to dress and freshen the motor along with upgrading the brake system for better stopping power . So in payment / trade he agreed to do the bodywork and paint for free , which is good trade in my eyes . If I spray automotive paint anymore ( with a respirator) it's difficult to breathe for several days . And a big thanks to Neohic ( Ben ) for coming through with some factory grey floor mats in great shape , they will look great in the Cherokee ....

Thanks !

My understanding is electronic speedo = short Manual speedo = long shaft .

There was ( maybe still is ) a 96 2.5 at the local pull a part that had a good fan shroud . Are they different? I know the 4.0 litre ines never changed....

Those mouldings were sold , time to start adapting or make something to fit .
