Jeeper (1/11)

  1. I discovered the same thing with mine after the November storm we had. The center axle disconnect wasn't engaging so I just locked it in place. Pretty simple and free fix.
  2. I think some of the aftermarket steering setups utilize the 91 and newer tie rod ends. That's probably what is on your truck.
  3. This is what I've been thinking about and will probably end up doing. Before I spent time on it (and probably have at least one attempt where I screw something up I figured I'd see if there where other options. Sounds like there aren't.
  4. From what I've read you have to cut away some of the sheetmetal before you install them. I think they're made of the same material as the regular bushwacker flares so they'd be just as susceptible to breaking. I think they'd look good on an MJ but I really like the look of flat fenders in general.
  5. I recently bought a Bac Pac canopy for my Comanche and it fits pretty well with one problem. My truck has the bed light over the rear window and the canopy doesn't have a cutout for this. Because of the lack of cutout I can't slide the canopy quite as far forward as I would like. The canopy is usable as is but I'd like to be able to move it closer to the cab. There there a piece available anywhere that would cover the opening if the light is removed? I could probably poorly make something myself or get something made but if there's already an option out there I'll take it. Thanks.
  6. So I was having some issues with my truck starting and tracked it down to the starter relay. It ended up being a bad ground but the starter relay had a fair amount of corrosion so I went ahead and replaced it. Now I have two questions. 1. Is there a problem with connecting the ground from the starter relay straight to the negative terminal of the battery? Everything seems to work fine when I do this and from checking the wiring diagram the only thing I can see is that it would allow the truck to start in gear instead of Park or Neutral (its an automatic). 2. The second issue is that the replacement starter relay that I got has one fewer terminal on it. On the original relay this was marked with an "F" (labeled as "Fuel Pump Ballast Resistor Terminal" in the Fuel System section of the Service Manual) and had an orange wire connected to it. It seems like everything works when this wire is disconnected so I'm not sure what it's prupose is. From the wiring diagram it looks like it eventually goes to the A/C Clutch Relay (I don't have an A/C so no problem there), the EGR canister solenoid (not sure what purpose that serves), and one of the pins on the fuel pump. Like I said everything seems to work and the truck runs as well as it did before but if this is important I'd like to know and I'll get a new relay to use. Thanks
  7. Recently my Comanche hasn't wanted to start back up after a short drive (I haven't driven it very far since this started happening). When I try to start it it back up the warning lights on the dash go out but nothing happens. No noise at all. I'm assuming the starter is bad but is there some other problem it could be? I did change the sensor in the radiator that controls the aux cooling fan and had the refill the anti-freeze but I don't know if that could have anything to do with it. It seems to run fine and no warning lights are coming on. Thanks.
  8. My truck has a leak from the gas tank when full so this weekend I started the process of removing the old tank. Once I got the plastic "tank protector" off I realized that everything down there was in bad shape in terms of surface rust. I've gotten two of the three nuts loose that hold the staps on the inboard side of the tank and think I'll be able to get the third loose so I'm not too concerned about that. I'm worried about the condition of the straps themselves though and want to replace them. However I can't tell how the straps connect on the outboard side. It almost looks like there are straps attached to the frame that then hook onto the straps that go under the tank and connect to the bolts on the inboard side but I can't tell because of all the rust and gunk that is built up. If I get replacement straps do they attach directly to the frame and if so how? If not how do they attach? Thanks.
  9. When I bought my 1993 V-8 ZJ swaybar from a junk yard it came with links that were longer than the stock ones on my Comanche. Just another option.
  10. No A/C no E-Fan :smart: I have no A/C and i have an electric fan so i don't now if thats true My truck also has an electric fan but no A/C.
  11. Are the S-10 dimensions listed on that picture the outer dimensions of the bed? I assume so but just want to be sure. Thanks.
  12. Completely gone on my truck. Nice place to stick magnets though. And the paint there is the best looking paint on the entire truck. Which isn't too difficult I suppose.
  13. http://www.automotivetouchup.com/ seems to have all the colors too. Although I had to look up my truck as an 88 American Motors in order to get the right paint code to show up (BD aka Grenadine Metallic). I haven't used them but just wanted to give a heads up as its another site that I've found.
  14. I could be wrong but I thought that Hellcreek had 3 inch lift full spring packs that were rated to the same load capacity as the factory Metric ton springs.
  15. I think this thread is what you were looking for. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17171 Page 2 has the part number for the dual terminal group 34 Duralast Gold. 34DT-DLG
