About 200 km from saskatoon, so maybe close to home for you? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been foggy over the weekend, got a few pictures from in our small town here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I realize that, a bench is in the works for my shop, right now every flat surface gets used. I got a few more new parts, but I’m off this next weekend to Alabama. Decided on taking a different route to get the car home. I’m going to drive down with my Honda Fit, (mileage is waaayyyy better, lol) fix the car up, then fly there this October, go to classic Honda’s on the dragon, and then drive the car home. Once the Comanche is all done, I do want to do a longer trip with it, however I’d kinda like to add cruise to it before then.

Got a few more things done, new U-joints, and driveshaft is back in. Also got the cooling system finished up. Got a nice shiny reservoir, lol.

Sounds good, where are you shipping from? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I actually bought a new module. The panels for the fog light switch would be great, I wasn’t thinking of it, but I probably would need one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, got the rad put in, and all the closed system stuff removed, I’ve got a heater valve from a ‘95 XJ to plumb in. Been slow going. My redline mt-90 showed up today, also got a daytime running light relay. Plugged it in, and now the high beam indicator works! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, this has signal, and tail lights now. Probably will be upgraded to a rear disc brake soon too. Possibly a small electric motor too, lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got 4 quarts of mt-90 today, slowly picking away at the truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got myself a used open style rad, and a overflow bottle from the wreaking yard. Got a few things done over the weekend, took my starter and alt in, went through them, and replaced a few parts, although they pretty much just needed a cleaning and a few new bushings. Pulled the timing cover and replaced the gears and chain. Old New Put stuff back together then. Also got the valve cover gasket replaced. Gapped and put in new plugs, and “windowed” the old cap so I can make sure the rotor is hitting the right spot in it. Replaced the thermostat, and put on a newer style housing, so I could thread the probe for my electric fan controller in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Am looking for a daytime running light module, and connector for a ‘90 Comanche. Also would like to find a factory fog light switch if possible. Could also make use of a black centre for my steering wheel (3 spoke jeep) Willing to pay shipping. I’m in Saskatchewan, Canada. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve been talking to krustyballer16, probably will get a hitch from him Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Didn’t get much done today, had a huge amount of snow to move before and after work. Did get the new waterpump on though This is the radiator I’m thinking about getting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll order a new coolant bottle. Was looking at a triple core aluminum rad, maybe that’s overkill though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got one started if anyone wants to check it out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, yesterday, I swapped in new front shocks, and front brakes. Also pressed in new bearings into the idlers. Also added a ground strap to the battery Checked the driveshaft too, u-joints aren’t really bad, but have a slightly stiff spot on both, even after greasing them, so I’ll swap them out. Today’s tasks included, pulling out the old front sway bar And swapping in a new one from a v8 grand Cherokee, with good end links. I also, decided to take a look at the track bar, as I had some “death wobble” when I drove it. Think I figured out why. Bolt wasn’t tight in the bushing at all, probably 1/8” slop, that plus the bolt was too long. I pressed the old bushing out, and put in a new moog one. Also found a correct size bolt for it. After that, figured I should do the water pump. It definitely had some wobble to it, so it was time. Got it off, but that’s as far as I got tonight. Just a quick question for you guys, what do you think about the radiator? It doesn’t leak, but it’s looking kinda brittle to me? It’s got Chrysler numbers on it, so I’m gonna guess it’s probably the original. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve had the truck about 4 years now, it’s a 4.0, ax15, 2wd truck. Did a few things on it when I got it, until I discovered the windshield was leaking. It then got parked, and I even thought about selling it a few times, but finally in light of my trip (Alabama) have decided to fix it up (way better mileage than my ‘86 Dodge Ram). An original picture of it. Roll bar was just set in, unsure about keeping it or not. After pulling the mouldings off around the windshield, found out that it must’ve been a problem for a while, had about 3 tubes worth of bathtub caulking to “seal” it. I started taking the truck apart, and got a spare fender (driver side was pretty dented) and painted them.plan was to paint the whole truck, but that got stalled on me now is back in my shop for a complete outfiting. Originally when I got the truck, had swapped to a Cherokee steering wheel (had a cheap aftermarket), and put a deluxe cluster in it with the proper sensors. Front hubs and bearings had been done just before I bought it. The 225’s on it were almost bald, so they came off, and I put some 215/70 R15 on it. Also swapped out the rear shocks, and fuel filter. Put a tape deck from a ‘95 Cherokee in it, and different speakers in the doors. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol, thanks. Thought I might be better off in this one as it’s an overhaul for the trip, but I will start one there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve been collecting parts since I got the truck 4 years ago, just haven’t found time to put them on. Even ordered decals from you a couple years ago. How do I start a build thread Pete M? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got the idler bearings changed today, put in a later model power steering pump, and changed front shocks, and brakes. Also pulled the driveshaft and decided it needs u-joints. They’re not bad, but have a slight resistance in them, even after greasing, so I’ll just put in some new ones. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, I can get redline from amazon for $23 a quart Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Alright, thanks! I’ll do some looking Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hear you, I usually am guilty of carrying too many tools. Usually carry 150 pounds of tools in the trunk of my car, lol. I know a place that does good alt and starter rebuilds, used them for years. These have never been off since I’ve owned it, so I want to at least check them. Lots easier to fix stuff at home than on the road. I’ll probably press a new bushing into my idler as well. Anyone know what type of transmission fluid/gear oil I should use in my transmission? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks good! I’m not sure I’d need all that stuff, but there’s definitely a few things in it that I’m going to be carrying. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

HOrnbrod, I will be headed to Phenix City area. I’m definitely going to be importing through the proper channels, I plan to license it here, so I will be doing all the proper paperwork, and getting a broker to handle the rest. As for a hitch, I’m probably going to go with an xj receiver style hitch. My bumper is hooped, and even if it wasn’t, there’s no way I’d tow from it. I’m hoping to have my buddy (owes me a favour) build me a nice replacement bumper out of aluminum. For cooling, I’m planning to upgrade to the dual electric fan system. I’ve got an adjustable controller for the one fan, the other will be on a toggle. Gogmorgo, Rockauto sells brand new rockers, I have a set I’ll be welding into my truck before I leave. I’ll let you know how well they fit. I’m going to be painting the rest of the truck too. Basically I’m trying to fix everything that could possibly be an issue (even rebuilding the starter, and alternator although they both are perfectly fine) and trying to make everything look the best it can. In my opinion I’m much less likely to encounter problems with law enforcement if it looks like it’s been taken care of, rather than if it looks like I don’t care about rust, and paint. I’m getting a spare CPS to take along, I’m going to pull mine, and clean it off, and check to make sure it giving proper voltage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
