91Pioneer

Yeah it's called Tapatalk. I use it for lots of forums, it works great.

95%+ of SUVs look the same now. The new Cherokee is growing on me, I thought it was putrid when I first saw it.

FYI CRC gasket remover works great, might be a bit easier...

That looks like a solid, clean truck, a great starting point. So what are your plans?

Real dash cams turn on & off automatically, overwrite files, etc is why they're better than other options like the gopro and apps on your phone. Mine records audio too albeit it isn't the greatest. Mine came with an 8GB card but I found it a bit small, so I sprung for a new 32GB card, it is good for a few days (not sure the time length) before it overwrites.

Yeah the price is very reasonable.

It's in very good shape. Aside from being a 4-banger it looks like a great buy.

I have an Itronics ITB-100HD, I've had it for a few months now in my daily driver. It's wonderful, worth every penny. If you are considering one, avoid any under $100, and the GoPro is not the right tool for the job. Here is my latest video of random stuff I've caught on camera (no accidents), it will give you a feel for the ITB-100HD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjeJzZSmZFg I'm a technie gadget kind of guy so I like it. Most people don't give a crap until they have an accident and wish they had one.

It's a 91/92 Pioneer, those are OEM.

Now even though I wasn't considering this one which is in the same town I live in and I know the owner, I just might have to consider it. It's less rusty but lower KM, auto, 2WD, but has quite a few dents and dings. I dunno, I guess I'll just keep my eyes peeled for what comes up on the market. Fix the rust & dents, repaint, add Eliminator wheels & stripes and say "good enough"???

I guess I should have mentioned that their bottom price was $2,000 and I figured all the repairs to get it safetied would come to just over $1,100 roughly just for the parts (I could probably fix everything myself). Plus that doesn't include any rust repair on the box, just mechanical and the floor/rocker rust. So after gas, trailer rental, safety items, purchase, etc. if I had bought it, I'd be at $3,700 and still have all that rust on the box. I can do better... I hope :-) Man it's hard to find these trucks with minimal rust around here...

I use the [ IMG ] tag when I include pics, it works great.

Well I couldn't stop thinking about this Comanche so I drove out there yesterday to see it (~700km each way). There was a pretty big dent behind the right rear wheel. The headliner was needing repair. There were plenty of small dents. The engine ran pretty good, and the uniframe was in pretty good shape overall. There was just too much rust behind the panels for me to consider this a good restoration candidate. What I thought was the good side from the photos turned out to be the bad side. It needs just way too much rust repair. That's in addition to the windshield, brake work, loose track bar, loose ball joint, etc. I want a project but with a decent body. What a waste of 2 days and $300. Oh well, that's life.

The upside down grille just don't look right... reminds me of...

When you say you "flushed" the old coolant out, does that mean you used tap water on like a garden hose to flush it? If so, you had a lot of water left over in the cooling system and then you added the wrong stuff (too weak). I guess you know now, but when you do a flush, you need to add straight coolant to get a ratio that is more appropriate. 50/50 is not strong enough where I live. More like 60/40. IMHO 50/50 is only useful for topping up in an emergency, at least around these parts.

Please do, Scott!

Just curious, how often do you drive on dry pavement in 4WD? And why?

Just thinking out loud here, but couldn't any full console be made black using this paint?

Turn your phone sideways next time.

All that's left is to paint the flares red and put these on: http://jeepsticker.com/comanchesidestickers.htm :thumbsup:

Nooooo! This is a great thread, lots of great pics, no need to delete it!!

Here's the money shot: Crap. Well I might be able to use a XJ rocker, cut out the parts needed and patched...

A lot of people think of vehicles as disposable. I don't. I get pissed off by going to junk yards and seeing otherwise perfect vehicles get crushed, when all they need was a brake job or a new fender. I could never work at a junkyard, I'd be like "don't crush that" every day. I'd probably get fired LOL

Thanks for the pic. Do you think the point where the rear of the MJ door and rear of the front XJ door would be closer than that? p.s. Do you have a bunch of pics from your build somewhere showing all the work you did?

It might not be your phone's fault. The site has been "hanging" on me when I click links for the last little bit.
