Drop a photo when you get one!

I always thought it was panel bond…similar to what they used on the firewall, floor, inner fenders braces etc. I could be vastly wrong though.

iPad dash mount Just some 16GA Stainless wrapped in a cloth, couple bends and push fastened to the bezel. Will be good for gauges, maps, and tunes.

@pizzaman09Makes me impatient to have my MJ make guest appearances at the autoX! Looks like a lot of fun. @TurboedMJ You’ve gotta get one, They are great little cars with tons of power. Simple and cheap to work on thus far.

Have heard of others hiring private investigators, apparently they have some tools and expertise regular civilians don’t…

AA 1990 MJ v8 swap questions
Comanche SS replied to AA1978's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
There are many of us who have done the LS route. Myself being one. “Comanche Fun-Runner” Although my build is a bit more extreme than what you mentioned, these builds will be more up your alley: Search these users in the epic forum: @Limeyjeeper - “Comanche Dawn” @ghetdjc320 - “Project Tomahawk” and @70barracuda - “Driving on the street to street truck” Are all great builds to reference also. Some of the most documented LS or LS/AX15 builds on the site. -
Make a Comanche more garage friendly?
Comanche SS replied to NC Tom's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
You can HO swap it, or 97+ swap it. But truthfully, the renix is pretty easy to diagnose, without any special tools, if you can work a voltmeter, and know what you are looking for. The HO & 97+ swaps are also good options, but a lot of work, and both have pitfalls of there own. -
It always amazes me how well gas cleans…it’s the ultimate degreaser. That nasty diff section spent 2 minutes in the gas bath, with no scrubbing or cleaning of any sort it looks totally usable (although I won’t be) D264B530-2C90-4F8B-9A3E-48837289C95C.mov

I ran 33s with 3.07s 4.0/AX15 truck for years and it was doable. With 4.10’s already….no brainer if you can fit them.

It must have lol, it was pretty rough for sure. Will be like new before it goes into my MJ

Well, not many updates in terms of the adapters and wheels at the machine shop….So I took on some busy work. Got the front diff stripped down and cleaned, it had legitimiate mud and dirt in there. Luckily, I won't be using any of the old internals, mainly only the housing. The center section is now cleaned out and has a base coat on it just for rust prevention. When the whole front end build is wrapped up everything will get a fresh coat.

I’m pretty much at a standstill while waiting on the wheels & adapters. brakes are bled, can’t do diff sealant without the hubs. Shocks installed. had to let it run for a few minutes since it’s been sitting for awhile, let some fire thru the pipes 🤣 IMG_0221.mov

Project “Tomahawk”
Comanche SS replied to ghetdjc320's topic in MJ Hardcore Tech: Epic Journeys to Greatness
They tucked it up pretty nice near the trans, I’m impressed. Excited for your truck to come to life, I May have to stop by! -
Project “Tomahawk”
Comanche SS replied to ghetdjc320's topic in MJ Hardcore Tech: Epic Journeys to Greatness
Yeah…Hopefully its a little quieter than mine, a single 3.5’’ system lets it breathe but it sure isn’t daily driver friendly, but then again nothing about my build is lol -
Project “Tomahawk”
Comanche SS replied to ghetdjc320's topic in MJ Hardcore Tech: Epic Journeys to Greatness
Nice, should be pretty good. Plan to run both 2.5” pipes on the passenger side of the transfer case? -
Project “Tomahawk”
Comanche SS replied to ghetdjc320's topic in MJ Hardcore Tech: Epic Journeys to Greatness
Looking good, what’s the plan/intention with the exhaust? -
My dad helped me bleed the brakes yesterday, have the typical issue bleeding the bypass line, but I read about the trick to bleed it, so once I get more fluid, will be doing that soon. In other news, with the large fabrication project coming up soon (4x4 TTB conversion) I finally got some scraps together and built my first ever real workbench/Fab table. Will be really nice to clamp things down to this and know it’s sturdier than whatever I am needing to weld on. 3/16’’ Top, 1’’ plate under the vice, 6’’ C-Channel framing…Still need to find some cheap square tube for the legs.

The way I see it, new welders are made everyday….MJ’s on the other hand are less by the day.
