Fake Wood Grain Cluster Trim Restoration
AdroitKirby replied to AdroitKirby's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
That looks good. Do you also have the wood trim upper door panels to go with that? -

AdroitKirby replied to AdroitKirby's topic in Craigslist/eBay... i.e. Not Your Stuff
haha, I just wrote that cause he put the Laredo badging on the truck I guess I should have quotation marks -
That's definitely a story! Keep us updated!
-
Yeah those! I'm 100% sure if I mess them up even just a little, I'll probably never stop noticing it
-
I was about to tell him to click on your master link thing for help finding repair stuff @Pete M but you're already here, haha His build sheet already got posted but got buried by his pictures
-
Well that depends largely on what you want to do with it

Is there anywhere to get the 91-92 Pioneer decals? The ones on Phoenix graphics use the 87-90 decals for the 91-92 years
-
I'm going to the junkyard for something else. I think the ones with MTs got junked already but Ill keep an eye out

Fake Wood Grain Cluster Trim Restoration
AdroitKirby replied to AdroitKirby's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Main reason I'm trying to fix this one is cause I got it for less than $10 -
I see. I was going to go anyways, since I told one of the members here I'd pull the 2.5L brackets for the AC anyways You happen to know which GM vehicles have them?

Fake Wood Grain Cluster Trim Restoration
AdroitKirby replied to AdroitKirby's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Just the film itself, I think. Most of it is in pretty good condition but the film lifted entirely and tore in 2-3 places. Would I be better off removing the whole thing and applying an entire new face of the film? Ill take a better picture later today -
I could have sworn I just read 84-87 woah I'm going back to sleep
-
If you don't mind waiting, I have a spare one I could honestly just give you. Idk if it works well. Just shipping cost The catch is that it's back home and I'm not sure when I'll have a chance to head home. So if you don't mind waiting, I can send it to you when I'm able to go
-
Oh man, there's an 87 near me that is pretty low trim, so it'll only have the ones on the headlight harness. I'll go tomorrow when I get paid. Could you take a picture of where it'll be, just in case? It also has the black AMC interior. It was across that '89 that had the renix cluster from last time. Hopefully it's not gone right by the time I get there again

Wow, you even got the non-cassette radio. Damn
-
Yeah, no kidding. Gabapentin and Baclofen can both make make people short of breath if they've had a previous history of lung related diseases/illnesses. Nerve pain meds in general can have that effect. I'm guessing they told you to up the dosage as needed As an aside, back when I worked in EMS, some of us would call gabapentin gabagool as a joke. Hopefully, the rest of the pain subsides soon!

1991 Pioneer - "Anachronism"
AdroitKirby replied to AdroitKirby's topic in Member Projects: Your Comanches
As to what I am at the moment, I recently ran into some smoker/vent windows and pulled them for $8 a piece. '93 XJ Laredo. Low quality pic: From the same XJ, I ran into a fake wood grain cluster bezel. The door panels with the wood grain were also there but I didn't have any money left haha (they also didn't match my interior): From the aforementioned '91 XJ Laredo, I took some chrome breakaway side mirrors. They don't move with the lever so I'll probably take some time fixing them. From the '96 XJ Sport, I pulled the A/C blend door cable retainer and a full cluster since my trip odometer wasn't working. Left kicker panel from a 2.5L '94 XJ Sport. Someone beat me to the turbine wheel caps. Turbine wheels are still there I also bought the heater valve from combination of the different XJs in the lot(I think I kept the '96 one), which I'm hesitant to reintroduce into the system. But I guess I'll decide down the line. Windshield wiper arms from a '98 XJ Base for when I go to fix my wipers. Then @Jeeper1093 sold me the actual chrome drip edge, so I won't have to shatter my brain trying to cut down the XJ edge! But as of this post, that is currently where I'm at. Things to address aside from the stuff I just bought to install: Floorboards Sound/thermal deadening Paint-job Engine rebuild + subsequent engine clean up Power steering pump rebuilt/replacement(it's leaking) Header panel swap + pre-HO chrome bezel install/mod Suspension maintenance (Decide whether to turn into 4WD or not before suspension fix) Transmission and rear diff maintenance Rear glass replacement (there's rust right near it and it will have to get repaired when it's time to paint the thing so I figured I might as well have actual glass on the slider window Door checks need the bolt/thingy that retains the door from slamming you Bolts for the underhood light Window regulator replacement New tires Fuel sending unit fix Possible shift lever knob original replacement Tailgate handle refurbish (kind of started it last time but it didn't end up the way I wanted it to) Bed mat or bedliner(?) Softopper(?) Radiator/hose replacement when water pump is replaced with engine rebuild Bench seat adjustment lever fix Headliner refurbish Chrome bumpers(?!?) CC Stalk install Decide between gray vs wood grain bezel/trim Possibly sand away the gray paint on the steering column so it matches the steering wheel. Part of it is already worn away either way Radio connection + new speaker + front tweeters(?) Fog/spot beam wiring (I'll probably set it up so I can have both a fog wiring and a spot beam wiring and just swap the connector depending on what I put on the bumper) Acquire front and TC skip plates(?) Service brakes Cargo light(?) Get a battery that actually matches the size required I guess I have my work cut out haha. It'll probably take me a hot minute and quite a bit of money -
1991 Pioneer - "Anachronism"
AdroitKirby replied to AdroitKirby's topic in Member Projects: Your Comanches
Disassembled (somewhat) front: Picture of disassembled (somewhat, haha) cab. Also, RUST: Someone put this to "fix" the window from window getting stuck all the way down: Wasp nest on my engine block because my mom doesn't like letting my stepdad drive the damn thing after someone rear ended him. I think it died when I turned the truck on to move in unto the driveway. I need to have the intake cleaned, along with the TB. But I ran out of time. Injector hole before and after: After everything was reassembled, A/C system in place: Interior and exterior at the end: Not everything way quite fully assembled yet but A/C works now. Spot beams are not hooked up yet. Radio connection seems to have disconnected. And a few other things.
