UPDATE: Installed a 3/8 -16 nutsert and the front skid plate would not bear the weight so I'm scrapping the project. Makes it a pain anyways to service anything under there and there's no rocks in Iowa. :waving:

I"m really putting it on because it was a cool factory option! :yes: I also scored a transfer case skid too. There's a write up somewhere on here and I'll eventually get to it. I just want all these factory options that mine didn't come with. Can anyone relate? :brows: I put in the factory clock recently lmao.

Thank you for this article. I at least now know the bolt size and what tap to get.

I have a front skid plate off of a Cherokee that I want to put on my Comanche, but after looking at the holes, I noticed that the hole behind the sway bar on the drivers side isn't tapped for threads, and looks like a shallow hole because the steering box is above. How did you guys fix this? How could I fix this, I know I could drill and tap but something that shallow I'm skeptical. Please help!

For a $600 bumper it sure doesn't hold up to $#!& that well. Unless you hit him pretty damn hard, I'm disappointed that the bumper crinkled that much. I was looking at getting something like this, but for the money I'll get something else. :shake:

UPDATE: I haven't done anything new, but it has started every time for now. Thanks for the help! Best page out there! :yes: . :MJ 2: .

When all else fails, do Cruiser's Tips. LOL :cheers:

UPDATE: I cleaned the chassis to engine ground and cleaned out the C101 with some electronics cleaner and a mechanical pencil, that's all I had in the garage. :dunno: Took it on a test drive only to see if it would possibly stall and it didn't. Then when I got it in the garage again, I proceeded to turn it off and on right away and it would start up, but when I went into the house and then back into the garage to start it, it won't now. When I start it, it seems to almost fire once, then after that attempt, it just turns over while the key is still turned. What else can I do? I'm running out of ideas. I will take the CPS out and do cruiser's tip, but I need to test it first. Just have to force one of my sisters to start it while I read the multimeter while holding the leads on the pins. :roll:

I think I will do cruiser's tip of drilling the hole when I take the CPS out after work tomorrow. I will also refresh the engine to chassis ground too. It's the only thing I can think of.

Just put a new cap and rotor on. Runs great when started, but when you turn it off and try to start it again, it doesn't want to. What do you think it is? I'm thinking when I replaced the CPS, there may have been some gunk on it, I don't really remember, so it's getting a low voltage. Anyone agree before I tear it apart again?

UPDATE: So I put in the new ICM and it fires! This is until I turn it off, so I can put my e fan wire back on, so I can let it charge. It's not starting again, but cranking over. Do you think I have a faulty ICM? or There's gunk on the CPS? I'm running out of ideas. Please help!

Good to know it's a joke. :laughin: Keep up the good work! What's your background? Are you just a DIY kind of guy or do you have some experience as a mechanic? Either way it's truly amazing the attention to detail. :bowdown:

I want all the input I can get. I'm really not interested in getting into a piss match with anyone on here. I've purchased a new ICM that I will pickup tomorrow and will install it tomorrow. I can also inspect in the connectors since,as mentioned by you cruiser, there isn't really a good right up for testing it. I plan on deleting the c101 this weekend as well. If that doesn't work, I will clean the ECU connectors. Sound good or am I missing something obvious?

I've refreshed the grounds behind the oil dipstick. I've tested the old CPS, and it was bad, so I got a new one, but I haven't tested it yet, due to a dead battery now. I've done the headlight harness upgrade, new vacuum harness; both sides.

I've had hooked it back up, and you can hear the relay work. It still doesn't start, so I don't think it's a problem. I'm thinking the ICM. I've been told it's rare for them to go out, but it's the last thing I can think of besides redoing/cleaning the C101.
