It does not.

Thanks for noting that it does NOT fit a MJ. Kryptronic, delete this thread.

https://richmond.craigslist.org/pts/d/amelia-court-house-1989-jeep-comanche/7012112842.html 1989 Jeep Comanche 2 wheel drive 4.0 . Miles 300k. Doesn't run previous owner said the fuel pump went out. Body is in great shape only rust is on the floor pans. No time to take on this project right now. Rebuild it or use it for parts. Probably one of the straightest trucks you'll find for the price. $1000

'89, 4.0, 5 speed. A whirring sound is coming from under the bed that has not been there previously. It is constant and not clicking and can be heard when parked and not in gear. Is likely to be a fuel pump going bad? There is no malfunction with engine performance. If the fuel pump is going bad, is it something that should be replaced or is it like an old rear end roaring that could go on forever? If not the fuel pump, is there any other moving part under the bed?

Jack_fur, I see that this is your first post and you have been a member for all of 4 hours. Welcome to the Comanche Club

If the tree recovered, that is only possible if the girdling was not complete. Decades ago, a girdling device was made to strap on a man's back. It had a gas engine about the size of a small lawn mower motor. A cable was hooked to it. The other end had a fat metal doughnut with notches in it. The man would go through the woods girdling undesireable trees. Poison can be poured in the gash to speed up the process. Obviously you don't want to kill a tree that will eventually fall on a house

Bringing firewood is the right thing to do. I assume you meant 40oz and not 40 Coors. . Looks like you had a great night out under the stars. Spend a night at Guitar Lake on a hike to the top of Mt Whitney, if you haven't already. 12,000 ft I think

All of the nutriants that feed the entire height of a tree travel in the "cambium layer" which is just below the bark. A thin layer. If you cut that layer all the way around the tree, the tree can no longer feed or hydrate itself and will die. The process is referred to as girdling the tree and is used in forrest management to kill undesireable trees. For example, to kill hardwood trees in cultivated pine forrest that are grown for timber. I girdled a 40 foot sweetgum tree a couple years ago to kill it. It might take a few years because some trees can store starches. If cut all the way around , that is not survivable. If you are concerned about the tree in your yard, pull loose bark away because it gives insects, like bark beetles or borers, a place to hide. The exposed wood is subject to rot. If rain water becomes trapped in the damaged area, cut a channel so the water can drain away.

Your camp site looks devoid of trees and available fire wood to gather. When I backpack, any ax or hatch is too heavy to carry. A trick I use, is to find limbs up to 3 inches thick and swing them like a baseball bat and smack them hard against a tree. The end will come flying off. Makes lots of great noise too. Scares the bears and cats away too. For bigger logs, I drag them across a fire and as they burn down, pull more of it across the fire.

Learned something. Thanks for the info. There are no 6 bit door cylinders that will fit and could be matched up? My ignition switch needs replacing and the door cylinders are not in great shape either. It sure would be nice to have it all work together

Nice looking truck! Interesting other world looking landscape. Looks like you pitched your tent in a flash flood area.

89 MJ, 4.0, 5 speed. The ignition switch is evidently going bad. Radio, blinkers and blower fan will go off while the engine runs and doesn't skip a beat. Move the key a little and the accessories come back on. Since the switch needs replacing, I would like to replace both door key cylinders and have one key for the ignition and doors. Can someone point me in the right direction to get this done?

Body is fantastic and the paint job is awesome. How many times has it been painted in the last 30 years?

Pic taken at breakfast this morning. The old and the new. The black Gladiator and the Hummer are not mine. The red MJ is.

Moving the fuse box from below the clutch/slave cylinder is a totally worthwhile thing to do and this is a good question. Has no one done this? Come on capable CC guys, any experience here? Did Cruiser54 and JeepDriver go into hiding?

Cable came loose. Works great now. No jumping at all. Lithium

I agree. I would be suspicious of your motive and wonder if you were coming back later to steal the truck. Not to mention that they might have a video camera, a loaded 45 or a snarling Rottie. What would your new wife think if you got your azz blown off?

Knock on the door for sure. And complement the truck right away. I have friends and relatives that have bought desireable houses that were not listed for sale by knocking on a door. I have had people leave notes on the windshield asking if the MJ is for sale. I always return the call. Often, the person leaving the note had one before and regretted selling it. When one is parked at the mechanic's shop I use, he routinely has people stop and ask if the MJ is for sale. I have purchased things that were not listed for sale, including real estate. MJs are a thing unto their themselves. Guys on motorcycles and new F150s giving thumbs up or shouting favorable comments flying down the expressway or in traffic. Drivers of old XJs always notice. At work, new Porches and Teslas populate the parking lot, but it is the old MJ that starts conversations.

If you have ever thought seriously about going in business for yourself, now might be a good time for it. Rumor has it you are a newly wed and the wife like dogs. How about a dog grooming and boarding business? You have the land for it. Bad back? I bet your wife really hopes it heals.

Speedo stopped working. Don't know why yet. Thought this would have been an easy fix.

Cable re-lubed. Some lube found its way into the spedo. Cable secured so it would not jump around. Prior to that the newly cable installed would jump back and forth 10 miles across the spedo; at both low and high speeds. After the suggestions were followed, the new cable would quiver slightly and that disappeared after about 10 miles or so of driving. Thanks CC.

Lesson learned in the school of hard knocks. Spill the beans. What happened?

I have an 87 MJ, 4.0 that has an aluminum valve cover. Original as far as I know.

The fan on my 89MJ, 4.0 was making a loud intermitent squealing, scrapping noise, so had motor and fan replaced in last few days. After reading this thread, I had the resistor replaced also. I was surprised there is not one spot of rust on the old resistor,which I assume was original. The new one came with a cover. I assume that is to reduce the risk of fire but it would hold in the heat to build up more. Cooled by air flow, I assume.
