crumbscomanche

can you post a picture with something next to it for size reference?

@MeanLemons @Pete M sorry for the delay on replying. Is it literally pull out the electric cables and plug in the mechanical speedo? are we talking about these gears? maybe I'm over . complicating but I want to make sure it's not a ton of trouble.

Hi all, I'm looking at picking up the np231 out of a '97 XJ that @MeanLemons built and i had a quick question - does anyone know if there's an issue with the later year NP231s having a different speedo output style, and if they are able to bolt up with earlier years? It doesn't look like it's a problem but want to be sure. Novak has this on their website: Early 231s from 1988 through 1991 featured a conventional mechanical (cable) drive speedometer output. In 1992, Jeep introduced a three-wire, digital square wave Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS), in the vein of modern automotive systems.

@Egm89 it's a pretty generic kit. They send you several sizes of uncut hoses and you cut to fit.

This is a great

A local MJ owner (thanks hector if you are on here!) hooked me up with a sick MJ hood with the Mach 1 mustang hood scoop, inspired by the JCR manche. I believe it's an original hood scoop with the original turn signal lenses. A little work needs to be done above/below to clean it up but it's functional and I love the look. My old hood had some damage around the corners from an accident the PO had. Still debating the bedliner stripe... I also will be redoing my posi-lok system this weekend as it broke last trip out. I called posilok/sporttruck and they warrantied it and are sending me a new cable, which is awesome. I figured I'd replace my t-case linkage while I'm at it, so I got the Azzy's kit. The quality is top notch and the MJ decal is sweet. Too bad nobody will ever see it!

i went and checked out that MJ. Topper is def. not for a comanche. nowhere near a tight fit. I grabbed a lot of the good parts but there's still b-pillars, rear flares and fuel sending unit/gas tank as of friday.

ISO dana 44 spring plates, shipping to 90019. anyone got a set laying around?

welcome! looks like an awesome truck and all intact. The topper is sweet. What are your plans with it?

Hit the JY today again. Only thing gone since I went Tuesday was the 2.5l engine. Grabbed the tailgate, a piece of trim for @Swampy, a headliner board and some other little odds and ends. The fuel sending unit and rear flares are still there, wish I brought an impact gun. Will post pics tomorrow!

a man of many talents!!

Got my sound system set up and 3m ceramic tint. Focal K2 speakers and 10'' Cerwin Vega with built in amp. Also had new speaker wires ran throughout and the doors dynamatted with my leftover material. It sounds unreal now, doesn't even remotely compare to the way it was before!

love this build. just went through all of the photos again and can't believe how quick it all came together. Can't wait to see where you take it/where she takes you!

dat's me love the CC IG page! great work!

I'm going to try and get out there saturday to get whatever else I can. If you need something specific pm me and I'll see what I can do

Pick your Part outside of Long Beach

My friend got a notification that local junkyard got a comanche in today, I had the first crack at it and pulled off a lot of the little bits I needed (passenger tail light, dome light, spare emblem). The headliner board appears to be in great shape. Tan interior, could use some love but all in one piece, including the bench seat. Looks like factor sliding glass. The topper goes a little past the bed. Rust free, looks like it took a hit to the side and rear. 2wd 2.5 auto. My haul: The truck:

did you grab the lights? Any chance you'd cut a deal on those or just the passenger side @jeeppapa?

good deal for a clean looking truck. but that scrambler though that's next on my build list.

I go to Auto Service Pro Center down the way from Little Ethiopia. The owner is awesome (I've got plans to go wheeling with him) and it's a AAA certified shop so if you're a member any repairs are warrantied for 50k miles/24 months and you get 10% off on parts. But I usually just bring him whatever I need taken care of and he just charges labor.

miracle mile by the grove. let me know if you want to do some wheeling

where in la are you?

I've been researching this a lot lately. I think the performance radiators will make a noticeable difference if you wheel your truck hard. I've got a newer stock radiator on a stock engine and it definitely gets warm on the trails, especially with higher elevations. It also gets a little hot in the socal heat with the A/C running when driving home from wherever I'm wheeling. . It's never been an issue but I think when the time comes I'm going to replace it with the FF Dynamics Extreme TT system with the fan shrouds. From what I've read it's good improvement over stock, but that model is $499 so I'm waiting until I actually need it.

@dmatt5656 check my build thread, just put on silicone lines and ran them for 6 hours on the trails in the hot sun with no issue. hpsimotorsports.com

hey just saw this thread. shoot me a message and I'm happy to help out. I've got a garage and have figured out how to do a few things now. I also have a great mechanic on pico and fairfax I can refer you too for anything big.
