A common air leak: The inner shift boot that bolts to trans tunnel below regular shift boot. I used a big piece of rubber from a truck inner tube.

Sighted on an ‘86 at Gunner Metals in Lake Stevens, Wa. $30 you-pick. I need this but don't have time or $. Someone save it from the crusher!

TeeHee! Yes. No axles would pose more than one issue...

Maybe just take the axles out when towing? They are quick in and out, though he is an old man...

Pulling the needle is 50% likelihood of breakage. Youve been warned!

I carry an extra radiator cap and CPS all the time

It’s such an important and tricky job that I recommend you take it somewhere to be done professionally. That said, I have done this twice. Follow the procedure posted below and do a ton of research on how to install a windshield because the process is similar. Removing old adhesive from the donor glass is a pain, but take your time and BE CAREFUL as MJ rear glass is impossible to replace. A local body shop supply store had the adhesive, and I made the cable saw for cutting out the window. Thanks to 64Cheyenne for the great write up! Good Luck!

Does the fan stay spinning at the same speed when you select defog, or does it slow down / stop?

Also are you sure it’s not clutch chatter (a common MJ issue)? Bad chatter on a lwb causes the whole rear end to shake and rattle similar to wheel hop. Has anyone visually confirmed that the wheels are hopping, or does it simply feel like it is?

Not normal. Check your leaf spring bolts/ bushings and your shackles. What size/type of tire are we talking? Stock leafs and ride height?

Hey gang. I’ve been rolling one of these cuoholders since 2014. Big ups to Ronnie for the original discovery. Autozone also carries this item. It’s where I found mine, and I have seen one in stock at my local store recently.

Dang. I owned a wrecked RHD XJ and this is one piece I didn’t grab. Added to my junkyard wishlist! Nice work!

NOPE!

Holy crap this made my night!

I showed this to the wife and she replied “oh wow lets get another truck!”. Too bad we just had baby #2 and have no extra income. Cest la vie!

LEGIT

I’ve got too many MJ’s already. My wife is patient, but if I try to add a third one to the yard again...

Holy Moly what a deal! https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/d/1991-jeep-comanche-40-5-speed/6643488952.html

Short of installing AC: 1” of jute padding under the floor and 1/2” behind the firewall helped loads for mine. Resealing the damper box and cutting flow of coolant to the heater core in the summer are also critical. Good luck!

Yet another 86-specific problem. My old ‘86 is still in the local salvage yard. I can grab one for you if necessary.
