That's the whole shebang for the spare tire holder. Mine works fine. If you don't have the handle that operates the cable through the tube (it also operates the jack) you need to find something to take it's place. You might want to make sure the jack operates smoothly. I cleaned and lubed mine and used a drill to drive it up and down a few times. Does your electric fan come on when the engine gets overheated? How are you going about switching to an open cooling system?

I bought one of these from NAPA a couple of years ago. I don't remember paying this much then but we know how that goes. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/CRB226422

Vented doesn't seem to me like the right part given we have a closed system. Give the hose a shot, it can only help.

The top end Fram is supposedly decent but it's doubtful the shop put one of those on. You can pick up a Napa Gold one (what I would do) when you get the volvo cap there. I suggest taking your truck to a car wash and cleaning out the engine bay. The closer the better so your engine isn't too hot or let it cool for a bit before. Use the spray that comes out of the nozzle without pulling the trigger for the top side. The bottom you can use the full pressure. It will be a lot easier to track your oil leaks that way. I do this periodically with no problems. The one on the drivers side looks to be dripping off of the power steering hose. You can try tightening the hoses, or it could be coming from the cap. Just keep it full. The other side could be the oil pressure sender, the distributor, iirc there is a seal for the oil filter housing, or it could be the rear main seal as well. Or all of the above, as it was with mine. Leave the rear main for last. Could be a leak coming from the oil filler cap also. They all tend to migrate to the back. The oil leaks don't appear to be huge however so can wait also so I wouldn't worry. Check your oil level regularly when on the road. Take some power steering fluid with you also. Good to have another Comanche owner check things out with you. If you come through Loveland, CO give a holler.

Have to admit I was disappointed with the loss of the completely off function in the S10 lights. When doing things to the interior with the doors open I would like to be able to turn them off. If you come up with something I would like to know also. As it is I can pop the cover and pop loose one end of the bulb but that's a pain.

Post some pics of your engine compartment so we know what you're dealing with. http://macsradiatorshop.com/surge-overflow-tanks/replacment-jeep-radiator-fill-tanks-382.html http://macsradiatorshop.com/surge-overflow-tanks/replacment-jeep-radiator-fill-tanks.html The easiest thing is to swap out the current cap on the plastic tank with a volvo cap. If the air is purged properly from the system, which I would hope to assume is the case since you had a shop do the radiator replacement, then you should be good to go as far as the cooling system is concerned with this cap. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BK_7031396 You've done just about everything on the front suspension except the control arms and the steering damper. The cure is a nice addition but takes a bit of sanding on it to adapt to the Comanche. It goes on the drag link. The steering damper may have a wallowed out hole on the axle side. Worth checking. I had a thick hardened steel washer welded on the forward side of the bracket and it tightened it up plenty sufficiently. It's also possible to have a new bracket welded on also. Stock steering boxes are innately squirrely in my opinion. Just the way it is.

Not sure from the photo if you're just looking for the exterior wipe or the interior also. I just bought this for drivers side exterior. Perfect fit just like original. It's also $5 cheaper now than when I bought it a few weeks ago. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QJAX95I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 For passenger side this.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QJAX95I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Beats the heck out of the cracked ones I had.

A two gallon pump up pesticide sprayer (or two if you have the room) (new of course) works great for showering, doing dishes, or just hand washing. Left in the sun it will solar heat. Not quite as hot as say a solar shower or roof top system as shown above but certainly plenty adequate. I usually bring a solar shower along to supplement hot water. Dispose of any used water like dish water in a hole away from any stream or lake. Using compostable bags for the bucket toilet is a good thing environmentally. If you have the room, a bucket of sawdust is good for odors as well as the composting function or dried leaves from the surrounding environment will work also. Neither of these are a necessity though. I've always used down bags for lightness and compressability as well as warmth. Just don't get them wet. They need airing for a bit after sleeping in them for the night to get rid of accumulated body moisture. Coin tissues or compressed towels come in handy and are very compact. Add water and they expand to a 10" x 10" semi reusable towel.

Depends on what one means by brutal. I spent a good many years living in Oregon (west of the Cascades). The rain and clouds a majority of the winter were too much for me. The humidity and cold, though admittedly not much temperature wise comparatively speaking, made me feel cold to the bone. The grey is tedious to the point that even natives get sick of it. It also has pretty high property taxes. No sales tax though.

You might try a citrus cleaner on it next. I've gotten oil type stains out even after they have been through the dryer. They have spray type for clothes, another for BBQ grills, or just hand cleaner for mechanics. Enzymatic cleaners and odor removal for pets also. Nature's Miracle for example.

Might want to check this on your steering column shaft for tightness.

I use Meguiars Ultra-Cut Compound #105 to polish out turntable dust covers (by hand). It works quickly and looks like new except if there are deep gouges, but even those are much less noticeable. Works great on clear coat too. https://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-Mirror-Glaze-Ultra-Cut-Compound/dp/B001O7PNW8

I would love to see an electronics thread. I'm definitely a novice but my winter time hobby is rehabilitating vintage audio electronics. I've done a number of turntables now and I currently have a Norwegian Tandberg preamp that I recapped and put in my system just for the phono stage. I got shelves of amps, preamps, receivers, turntables, and speakers in the cue. Hankering to fix a 200 watt rotel amp that has one rail that keeps blowing fuses when it has signal going through it.

I took a quick look at the sizing chart for the bike just now. It seems right for your inseam but small for your height. I had a road bike that was on the smallish side for me and it wasn't comfortable after riding for awhile. My mountain bike is just ever so slightly on the large size and is comfortable riding but having to come off it and straddle the cross bar is always just a bit concerning. I think it depends on what kind of riding you plan on doing. Smaller side for rough terrain riding. Larger for flat and road riding.

Back on the ranch we used to haul wheel tractors and D4 Cats on a regular basis. Always used chain and lever binder cranked straight down from corner point to the bed with heavy wire from the lever handle to the chain so it wouldn't pop loose. Safest way in my opinion. Nylon degrades with time and exposure to UV. Was on a construction job years ago and we needed to stand up a pretty tall wall. Contractor hitched a pretty thin nylon rope to the top and used a vehicle to lever it up while we lifted and pushed. We stood it up but later that day I grabbed the rope which was mine and found it had pulverized into nothing but powder. Always a little leary of synthetic ropes and straps since. then.

A lot of things to consider for this type of trip with a relatively unknown vehicle and not a great deal of time to do what might need to be done especially if you're doing it yourself. You might consider a pre-purchase type of evaluation from a reputable shop to help prioritize what you want to do and in what order. Cooling system is a biggy. Hoses, see if the water pump is weeping. If you're going to do the radiator then definitely the pump, hoses, dealer thermostat. I would do a 91 thermostat housing with a 3/8ths npt brass plug in the hole for the temp switch. Makes bleeding the air much easier. Make sure it cools properly before heading out. Front end and existing wobble would be another job to tackle before as well. Make sure the tie rods ends are solid. Look for rust along the edges of the lower ball joint seals. If the truck has had good servicing the uppers will likely be in reasonably good condition. New tires would be highly recommended and an alignment. Check the shocks. Make sure the steering damper is tight on both ends, axle side hole is prone to wallowing out. Wheel bearings checked/packed or replaced. Check the U joints on the drive shaft for play as already stated. Let us know how things progress. Good luck.

If it were me I'd take Eagle's advice and seal up the transfer case and drive it home on the front axle. You're going to need to put a new U joint on the rear of the shaft no matter what. Since you already had it towed, if it was done on insurance then the next tow is likely on your dime. The miles ?? may make the cost prohibitive. You can then do what ever you're going to do at your leisure in your own space.

My assessment as well ^ Also, why everything needs to be globalized into derogatory polemics about this or that group doesn't seem to further peaceful coexistence IMHO. They're all just opinions after all and not worth the paper they're written on, so to speak.

I get offers pretty regularly. Most recently on Mother's day from the florist delivering flowers. She wanted to buy it for her daughter who wants an old truck. I get thumbs up from other drivers when I'm driving down the road.

My stepfather grew up in the Great Falls area. Stories of how brutal the winters can be and usually are doesn't seem appealing. I suggest northern Idaho, where I was born, eastern Washington as well as eastern Oregon are places you might like. Northern Utah into Idaho are also appealing. If you've ever driven through Wyoming there is a reason they have a lot of wind farms there. Good luck.

What I really appreciate about ANTIFA is that they put up those reflective wooden barricades around the bricks so traffic wouldn't hit them before the protestors ripped them apart to get at the bricks. Or how they put up those reflective cones around another stack so bicyclists wouldn't run into them. Or how they put up the scaffolding next to another so as to provide a plausible rational to explain their presence should anyone get suspicious. And the ones on the pallets must have been delivered by a Home Depot/ANTIFA delivery truck with a fork lift to set them on the ground. And these lovers of chaos had all their bricks sitting there so neat and well ordered. Gotta give them credit for tidiness. Some people just love the chaos of breaking stuff and watching crap burn if they think they can get away with it. Ever seen a town after winning or losing a major league title sports game? Is it right, of course not! Is there political opportunism taking place from every front. No doubt! There are some serious issues here and we would all do well to listen and find some solutions. Ya know, before things get bad. Hope my commentary doesn't violate CC civil discourse.

Excellent design with the ability to open it up for weeding and harvesting. Might have to steal it from you.

Space wise they are like the Crown's I bought a few years ago. Returned them. You could put washers in them to take up the space or find an alternative. Otherwise it seems you would get a rapid wear pattern due to the slosh in the action of the spring on the bolt. Tightening it down might work okay but there is going to be some odd wear there too. Washers would remedy any threading problem if there is one.
