Edit: I'm a dummy, wrong truck listing

Put a little work in this past weekend, I have a three month-old son and it's really tough finding even a little time to work on this thing! Nothing exciting to show cosmetically so here's a pic of him in his future truck with his grandpa. My dad came over to help me bleed the brakes, we didn't get too far since one of the rear lines is gushing fluid. So I've ordered a spool of cunifer brake line and associated tools, any tips before I dive in here? I think only one line is bad but I might take this opportunity to replace all of them. Should I delete the rear prop valve while I'm at it? I've seen a lot of references to replacing the MJ distribution block with an XJ prop valve but couldn't find a dedicated guide on the site here, anyone have a link?

Thanks man! Nice article BTW!

Nice pickup! I just joined the club too, found an Eliminator a couple weeks back. If you're ditching the tape deck, would you mind shooting me a PM when you rip it out if you're interested in getting rid of it? I still have a lot of tapes actually lol

Cool, thanks a lot! Yeah, I was wondering about the seat too! Maybe the original buyer optioned for a bench instead of the buckets? Who knows... I don't mind it though. Thanks for the info on the other plug!

Hey all, been lurking for a while but finally found a Comanche of my own a couple weeks back so wanted to start a build thread to document the process of fixing it up. Little backstory, recently traded in my WJ towards a WK Grand Cherokee. Great vehicle but it's just a bit too generic SUV and I missed the little bit of Jeep-ness of the WJ and the ZJ I had before it. I'd been looking for an XJ to fix up and learn more about working on cars with (I do a lot of DIY projects etc but not super well versed with auto repair beyond the basics) but then I found this forum and got bit by the MJ bug! Got a line on this truck from a guy on another forum I frequent, seller wasn't in a hurry to sell so it wasn't even on Craigslist or anything. Good thing too since it took a couple weeks for me to get down to WV from Philadelphia and pick it up! It's a 1991 Eliminator, condition is pretty decent for a fixer upper, at least from what I can tell. Floors are pretty rusted out but frame seems okay. Runs, drives, shifts fine, needs some brake work though. I've already replaced the rear drums and shoes and will be doing the fronts next. One of the power steering hoses also just sprang a leak so I spent some time this morning replacing them. I know, the grill is upside down! Gonna swap it out for a cleaner one the PO threw in. Interior is not great, not terrible... will spend some time cleaning it up soon. Yes, it came like this and heck yes I'm keeping it! Until I replace with a Hurst shifter These should probably be plugged into something maybe! Who knows! (Please tell me if you know!) Seems to be an oil leak on the passenger side of the engine, saw some posts on this forum and elsewhere that this may not be a huge issue? Will clean it up and see how bad it is. Anyway, glad to finally have an MJ to call my own! I'm sure I'll have plenty of dumb questions for you guys in the weeks and months ahead. Thanks in advance! Oh yeah - any other Philly guys on CC? I can only remember seeing one other MJ in the city here like, ever.

LOL gotcha... first I'd seen it, don't usually search out that far west. New to the Comanche thing (still looking actually), didn't know if it was worthy due to being a '92.

Not mine, thought there might be some interest in this http://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/5253944922.html
