  1. I have a pyrometer, it's industrial and connects to a laptop for data acquisition so not the most convenient for this application =P I did not have a fire extinguisher but I just ordered one!
  2. This is what I assumed originally but I have been driving it without blower for a while now. Only way to know for sure is for me to pull that out. I noticed my door speaker doesn't seem to be outputting anymore... I wonder...
  3. A 2-door 1994 Cherokee SE 4x4 5spd naturally.
  4. I have recently developed a burning smell in the cab, and I am curious to see what theories evolve here. - Smell develops after ~15 minutes of driving. - No visible smoke. - Smells very akin to burning brakes. - I usually am not running the blower motor. It has been very moderate temps here. - I usually am not driving at night. - Could be clutch starting to go but I am not ragging on it and am not lugging the engine. Tach follows vehicle speed when in gear. All of the wheels are cool to the touch. When I pop the hood, no smoke comes from underneath. When I leave it running in the driveway I do not appear to have any major leaks (like rear main on the exhaust pipe...). I don't have a ton of time to dig into it right now, so it is mostly sitting parked. I might get a few hours this weekend to look at it but figured I would ask for common things. This thing has so many things wired into the cab that I would not be surprised if it is electrical, but it smells different than the overheating speakers from the likely overpowered amplifier (another thing I have not fixed =P).

    Got it!

    Congrats! Are you staying in Texas? I worked down in San Antonio for the first 7 years of my career.
  6. It's wild looking and I love the color choices.
  7. I like Grabbers. I really only buy Generals for everything though so I am biased.

  9. I think the wrap looks pretty good. I do wonder why they wrapped over a giant dent in the fender though.
  10. Supposedly this is #12 now? Source: Jeep Comanche Mini Truck - SEMA 2024 | WAYALIFE Jeep Forum
  11. I almost sold mine and my partner told me that "I had to keep it as I would eventually just buy another one anyway". He is probably right...
  12. I will use lithium grease. I actually bought it before I saw @ghetdjc320's comment but I think the regular stuff will be fine. I am pulling it out of the door in the next few years again anyway.
  13. I was having issues with my driver's door latch and I pulled it out and ultrasonic cleaned it. I want to put it back in but I am curious what lubricant I should re-apply to it? Any suggestions?
  14. I see a different angle of this every single day on the way to work, usually in the Comanche =P Never ceases to be beautiful!

    We have SeaFair every year and the Blue Angels fly over the house everyday for a week practicing for it.
