Red Mistress

Old man wanted $200 ea for NOS leather steering wheels still in wrapper....so I bought a grey one for my 91 and a tan one for trading. Made it back and test fit Sport Bar that I picked up from Will. He’s a true enthusiast for MJ and I learned a lot in our visit. Sport Bar really makes the MJE a killer looking JEEP !

Went on another NOS parts picking 6 day adventure. 2800 miles. Will write up story in few days, still on road.

Plastic door handles, no gaskets

Dang, I would of stuck around Dallas if I knew Comanche was coming back from paint.

This appears to be a factory fog / cargo light indicator panel: 1 Some more parts showing up. Cruise control with delay wipers in black instead of chrome is hard find. Black license plate light is another MJ oddity.

Looking good ! i built a tent, put old carpet down and painted a Jeep in my garage in 2001. Worked pretty good. Fan pushing out sucked the walls in so had reinforce.

Here is a picture of nice looking cut / paste job someone did on a indicator panel. Team Cherokee got my order correct ! Although the charcoal hockey armrests are too dark for my grey mist interior. XJ Accessory slush mats are nice find. Does anyone have late 80's or early 90's accessory book? I need part # for Charcoal carpeted floor mats, so I can hunt them :)

Anyone know who owns this one now ? http://www.jeeptruck.com/mjs/sale15/adm130/adm130.html IIRC Mt. Zoin Offroad in PA fixed some rust and sold it.

Didn’t know anybody besides EagleScout was wanting gun safe instructions & he’s not in hurry for them. Thanks Strokermjcomanche for posting. Saved me getting it outta attic, it’s hot now.

Nice details with pictures :) Another thing I want to add to my build.

Humm...great idea... cut and paste switch pod overlays :) Parts book confuses me on which switch pod to even search for, or if there was even a dual overlay for trans / sport bar lights.

Yes think you are correct. Gjeep must of typo'd or meant switch is same in above linked thread. I like learning all the nuisances of what Jeep did, especially the accessories.

Thanks for the thread link it's a good one! No one has has pictures of all 4 switches. Gjeep did verify that this is correct order from left to right: Fog Lamps, Cargo Lamp, Power/Comfort, and Sport bar lights. And although not pictured, the Trans power comfort / Sport Bar lights have indicator panel with same symbol as fog light. That indicator panel has to be the hardest thing for Comanche parts peculiar to find. Thanks YellaJeep for Al Unser, Jr. pin, it will be used to hold visor from sagging until restoration starts.

Camper was loaded to gills with heavy NOS parts. Trip from Boston, MA to OH to TX.

Nice cargo light with dash indicator panel & tinted RH vent window. Good trade for NOS Blue floor mats. This brings me to a late model dash indicator question for adding cargo light & sport bar lights with transmission comfort switch.. My understanding is that the switches are placed Left to right in this order: Bumper fogs / Cargo light Trans comfort power / Sport bar lights Anyone know answer or have pics of a MJ with trans comfort switch & sport bar light dash indicator?

That looks fantastic, I plan on doing my silver trim. Did you use a hard tipped artist brush, toothpick or paint pen marker to apply ?

I've read misc debates on which is better open or closed, but never did see where 91-92 had "open" system. Interesting exterior door handle. It's made of metal, book shows for 84-86 XJ. Now something else to find, a metal companion door handle.

Acrylic / lexan / plastic dealership sign. Like a large display sign that would of only been at a Jeep dealership.

Looks fantastic... motor will match color of the truck ! Can't wait to see in person one day.

So I hear there was an acrylic sign that said Comanche on it? Anyone heard of such a sign ?

great idea on the Master lock tailgate lock, going to order https://www.masterlock.com/personal-use/product/8253DAT

Not much activity lately. Old -vs-NOS Guess someone converted my truck already to the open cooling system? Or what year did that change happen? Everyone have a safe & happy July 4th

Nice Red MJ and what a clean bed

Bonus... Shocks match the truck. Also like interior trim silver paint detail.

Mirror showed up in mail today. Thanks again Eaglescout526 for lead. IOU. Rear bumper I bought on FB showed up all way from Canada. End caps are better than one's I have now. Interesting that it has the plastic trim around license plate lights and my 91 doesn't. What's up with that, guess it was before Chrysler ?
