Ha! Damned vacuum line for map sensor was off! Thanks so much onlyinajeep! Must have got bumped somehow.

1988 Jeep Comanche, 4.0, 5 Speed, 2wd. I've had it for a few months, did plugs, wires, cap, rotor, water pump, and some other maintenance when I got it. Its been running good, but had an oil leak, and clutch slave cylinder was going out. So this past week I did pilot bearing, slave, rear main, and oil pan gasket. While it was apart, I noticed the crank position sensor wire was burned up. I cut the burnt a action out and soldered new wire in. I got it all back together last night, and now it has a horrible rough idle. Under load it will smooth out, but at idle its bad. Slow down to come to a stop at a light and it dies sometimes. When idling, it sounds like it has a miss.

Been working on the truck after work lately. I will update with pics later. I took the flares off, cut the front bumper, fenders, and bedsides. Currently welding the bedsides back to the inner fenders since I cut off the factory welds. Back to work, update later!

Guess this died?

Just changed the water pump and belt.

Anybody ever complete this?

Mine was leaking from everywhere. Lol. Also, we have some 17 and 18" jk wheels at the shop. I may get adapters and throw a set on the MJ.

Tailgate still functions?

Replaced this leaky piece of junk today. I'll post pics of the new one tomorrow.

Gonna make a trip to orlando pick and pull junk yards 3 weeks from now I think. If nothing turns up there, I'll give them a call. AX15 would be worth the drive, maybe not the d30. They're pretty easy to come by.

I also prefer a short bed, but mine is 100% rust free. I couldn't pass it up.

Also looking for 94+ ax15 since it has the external slave.

Oh yeah, for sure. I wouldn't buy an lp30.

Welcome. I picked up an 88 long bed last week that I will be building.

Couple pics of the xj I built to keep the thread interesting:

Oh, I thought you said FL. Lol, jk.

I did champion plugs, wires, cap, rotor, air filter, and fuel filter today. Got rid of the miss she had. Runs a hundred times better now.

Thanks. I'm in fort myers. If you're in Florida and post in here, let me know where you're at. I can always use new friends.

Truck doesn't have any rust, and a pretty straight body. No idea why they rattle canned it. Was the owner before the one I got it from.

The paint job is what sold me on it. ;)

Haha, thanks. I know the addiction.

First off, my name is Harley, just joined the site. Its official, today I picked up an 88 Long bed, 2wd, 4.0, manual. This is my first MJ, but I built a mild 91 XJ a couple of years back. Miss the XJ and started looking for another one and found this for a good price. Ive always loved MJ's, so I jumped at the chance to pick this one up. I currently work at a truck shop in southwest Florida, so the build should be fun. I will be wheelin it while I build it, so it will have to be in stages. As soon as I can locate them, it will get a d30, ax15, and np231. Then a small lift, and wheels and tires. Long term, it will get full widths, lockers, some sort of long arm setup, exocage, etc. Here are a couple pics of it tonight when I picked it up:
