    Got it!

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

  5. I think the wrap looks pretty good. I do wonder why they wrapped over a giant dent in the fender though.
  6. Supposedly this is #12 now? Source: Jeep Comanche Mini Truck - SEMA 2024 | WAYALIFE Jeep Forum
  7. 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...
  8. 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.
  9. 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?
  10. 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!

    Fly bys?

    We have SeaFair every year and the Blue Angels fly over the house everyday for a week practicing for it.
  12. IIRC they will technically bolt up but the 97+ fenders have a rounded top edge to them that lines up with the rounded edge of the header panel. It isn't too far off but definitely noticeable.
  13. Legitimately, I had a late version of the 3.4L in a Pontiac Minivan and it was a very solid little motor. Would not mind having a repowered jeep with one. Solid aftermarket, although like the 4.0 they have been out of production long enough that the aftermarket is not as strong as it used to be.
  14. That's rough man. I hope you are doing alright all things considered.
  15. Is there anyone building the 6 speed NSG370 or are those not even worth a discussion?
  16. Should work just fine. Any 1991-1995 4.0L ECU I believe should be compatible. IIRC the difference between a MT and an AT is only in the wiring harness and it's very minor. I am sure you did this already but did you pull the codes? I believe you can just turn the key 3 times and it should give you blink codes on the check engine light. I just tried it on my truck though and realized that lightbulb is burnt out on the cluster I just put in. I don't recall the codes ever being particularly useful but might be worth a try.
  17. Everything I have been doing has mostly been fixed from it sitting or stuff that was broken before... I fixed the fuel pump gauge, swapped out the ignition for one that matches the doors and has a metal key holder thing instead of a plastic one, changed the oil, put the rollbar and tonneau cover back on, and got it registered with 1991 Washington plates. Drove it to work today and of course the damn starter died. Went to replace it and the top bolt was missing... Luckily it was at work so I just stole a replacement bolt from stock. Waiting on the stock mechanical fan to come in from eBay. Have not been very pleased with the 3 fan setup in terms of actually controlling temps at idle.
  18. Which Radwood?! I am debating going to the Tacoma PNW one. Probably won't display on this round but maybe in a year or two.
  19. I have had this problem with a bad ballast resistor. Although you will likely see that when you check fuel pressure.
  20. And the power distribution center and I think the bracket for it as well although I haven't confirmed the bracket yet.
  21. Note in 1996 4.0 the ECU also changes.
  22. Is the 1997+ antenna base just curved different to accommodate the change in panel shape or are their other changes?
  23. I worked in a lab for a very long time. I think of water in C just by habit. I think I had issues with the Fuel Tank Sender from the UK cluster but I am going off of memory. I switched back to the Comanche fuel gauge.
  24. I looked everywhere, everything seems connected and I am not having any electrical issues that I think could be linked to this... Maybe I will figure it out someday but I am just not going to worry about it. It is definitely not OPSU or primary ground to block for certain. It could be something to do with the coil or a leftover from the alternator.
  25. I have the same Speedo in my cluster! I am also running the metric oil pressure and temp gauge. I definitely prefer the degC temp sender but I have found bar to be somewhat more difficult to get used to.
