  1. well it would prob take 1 to 2 gallons of the stuff, its not as high quality as the 2 part line-X tarheel sprays, herculiner is still pretty good, only thing I wouldn't do it in is the bed, hah funny they say thats what its for. it does quiet it down a bit. Id have to look up the cost again on the bed liner I thinking I could do it for around $150-200. If you get the seats too id be glad to help you fit them if you have your old bench seat brackets to weld too. definatly want to go show off my jeep next time autoshow rolls around, we should get all the MJs around and have a nice little section, that would be sick. be something different too.
  2. i've chirped 2nd a few times but usually don't try for 3rd its got 200,000 miles on it so trying to take it easy and see how long it will last before I rebuild it. Sure ill take the rear sway bar. free parts are the best parts :). gatta love them 3.07s running 2700rpm at 70. so what are you doing down in charlotte? uncc you going back to school?
  3. I hear ya, I just wish I a limited slip and no wheel hop. so I could atleast do a decent burnout.
  4. nice find. I've always wondered what those wheels would look like on a comanche. Very sporty. makes it look as fast as you say it is. haha after buying my comanche 2wd in quest for gas mileage there hasn't been a time where i've whished it was 4wd to go offroad. but I also have a fullsize bronco for that, I was just never into take my nice daily driver and beating it up. and no one likes washing off all the damn mud underneath
  5. yes the mothers power mini ball works very well, except I do it with a pneumatic drill, doesn't take nearly as long that way. I've used all kinds of diffrent polishing compounds they all seam to be about the same. The ball wears out pretty quick though if put alot of force into it (like i had to for those wheels) I went through 2 balls on that set. mothers does make refill packs with 2 balls. the bigger ball works better if the wheels are not very oxidized. haha I said balls alot. I'm up in Salisbury, did anyone go to the autofair today? I was dissapointed only saw 1 comanche... :( thanks for all the complimets :)
  6. :cheers: The old interior had the factor vinyl flooring which was wet on the bottom from the windshield leaking around the seal. Thought about reusing it as it was very truck like and not having to worry about getting it dirty made it even better, after finding a small amount of surface rust on the floors I prepped the surface with wirewheel on a grinder and por-15 the rusty spots and area around. the proceeded to bed liner the rest of the floor for protection against rust and foot abuse. Since already owning a gun for bed liner which makes it alot faster and better looking I sprayed it down. after seeing the result I loved it and liked the no carpet look. and besides its not loud at all. Then while searching craigslist once again I found some grand cherokee dark charcoal bucket seats with only 50k miles on it. for 50$ I had the seats + the rear one that I'm not sure to do with? anyone need one? I started to make my own brackets since i didn't want to cut my old bench seat up because it was in usuable shape and wanted to see if I could sell it first. I got frustrated after the first one was mounted, i was not happy on how it turned out and didn't want to turn out another set of jumbled mess to secure the seat. So I went to my brothers comanche (currently fitting a 5.9l magnum engine in) knowing he did not want the bench seat cut his brackets off..haha sucker :) cut the crap brackets I made welded the bench seat ones to them and boom like magic bucket seats that were free, because anotherjeff bought my old bench. Thanks again :cheers: also got a new Alpine cd player, got the better gauge cluser with tach at pull part (put blue leds in), made gray vinyl door panels with new padding and b&m t handle shiftknob. most comfortable shifhandle I've ever used. you've got to get one if you haven't already. also installed some kenwood speakers with full grille.
  7. So ill guess I will start off by introducing myself since this is my first post. Name is Adam, live in NC .. So I've Bought a 91 Comanche 4.0l AX-15 base model 2wd. Have had it for about half a year now. I purchased the truck locally found it on craigslist (which I'm addicted to) for $900 from the original owner. It has a great body, sporting the factory red paint minus some of the clear coat on the roof and hood. No rust since it has always been kept down south. I bought it in its original condition which was too plain for me so I started doing modifications the first day, including a new clutch set (why he sold it for so cheap). Graduating from Wyotech helps me keep all the repair cost to a minimum. and the fact my brother works at napa :) is great too. The first week I had it I painted the front grille area and headlight bezels and replaced the 1 goofy side mirror with old chrome mirrors from by brothers XJ since he put the 97+ on his. and besides they were in almost perfect condition. I ran those tires and wheels for 3 or so months before the michelins that were on them had less that 2/32 of tread and would spin taking off from a dead stop when wet barley giving it gas. boy did I get all the ladies with it looking like this ... While at the local pullapart I noticed an XJ that was hit in the front but had some aftermarket eagle alloys that were pretty nasty. I offered the guy 80 bucks and gladly took them off his hands. an hour later first round of polishing was complete. at this point I purchased some yoko geolander ht-s tires size 30-9.50x15 since I have had a good experince with the a/t's on my fullsize bronco. I knew the front would probally rub so after mounting them I went down to Tarheel 4wd in Charlotte and got a set of 2 inch spacers for the front. Fabricated some rear shackle extensions to level the back. by that point I have wired up relays on the headlights made my own harness and made a 3rd relay control the recessed fog lights from a KJ bumper for $50 off craigslist. Spliced it into the factory wiring for the foglight switch. They are really bright and I love keeping it Jeep if at all posible.
  8. Hey, I think ill take my seat back now. It looks awsome. and thanks for the compliment on weighing less that 300lbs :) funny thing is i was reading this whole post page by page and came upon page 7 and was like hey, that looks like my own bench seat, holy crap it is! your interior is really coming along love the 2 tone black and gray.
