  1. In the xj it splits under the rear bench or as it would in the mj at the back of the cab
  2. My truck is sitting right at 6" with 4.5 coils and an aluminum 1.5" spacer
  3. This red one is in Miami. I know the owner sort of.
  4. Do I have to use the pass. side tailight harness at all of the cherokee or can everything be done through the driver side?
  5. @Pete M that's the conclusion I have come up with. I think it would be easier to adapt the xj harnees to the comanche tails but idk
  6. The DIY link? I have been searching the forum and everything is either pre-95 or 97+. I havent found anything on 96 xj harness. I might do a trial by fire and figure out. I just trying to decided which would be easier, extending the xj harness or splicing the xj harness into the mj oem tail light harness
  7. How would I separate the turn signals and the stop/running lights on the MJ harness?
  8. I keep reading about adding a wire to the comanche tail light harness to split up the running/brake lights but I don't know where to attach this wire on either end. Does it go to the brake light switch? Should I just adapt all the xj wiring to the comanche tails? If so how do I run the passenger side through the body out to the tails?
  9. Not for sale for trade. I want LED tail light boxes
  10. Garage lighting is always a key component

    Welcome to the mad house plenty of info, tips and tech to keep you busy for a few months, or years
  12. I thought about color matching the fenders to the jeep but I am glad I didnt. I have a video on youtube about the installation process and what not. The ones I have are the first gen dirt bound ones, second gen is the same but with a flat flare not a tube flare.
  13. I appreciate the kind words. Never thought of my jeep as something someone is trying to achieve as I am always looking to others.
  14. Wendy in all her glory. Finally looking like a jeep again.
  15. So I got the comanche to move under its own power! I was luckt the 2wd xj driveshaft I had bolted up because the current driveshafts are too short in the front and too long in the rear. Here is just a quick video I put together of some random clips
  16. No modifications to the xj pump.
  17. Here is the playlist of videos I made. Not great but better than not having videos of the swap
  18. I did have to get a new tank from an 86-87 comanche without the slosh pan inside the tank to be able run the xj sending unit and fuel pump.
  19. a short clip of the first start https://imgur.com/gallery/TikowV0
  20. Soooooo the whole 96 swap is complete. I got it done on thursday but I am just getting around to making a post about it. I know the 96 xj was the first year of obd2 and kinda the least desirable but I think it is a great option for those people who don't really care about having the updated interior. The 96 swap is about 95% bolt-in, only a couple holes have to drilled for the fuse panel, relay block, and the steering column. There are no firewall modifications and everything swaps from the cherokee to comanche. My biggest concern was the frame horns but they bolted up just fine. Here are these pictures I took engine bolted up My interior is all mix matched Core support installed
  21. I have a set but I was looking to trade for tail light boxes

    Beer

    Lots of cool local brews I have to try. My favorite "Big store" brew definitely has to be blue moon
  23. Happened to me on my mj about two years ago when I first got it running. I took it on a test drive around the block and heard some weird noises, and suddenly the driver rear side tire was next to me on the road. Good thing I was only doing 5mph and was about 150yards from my house
  24. I was planning on updating it officialy when the truck is running
  25. Thanks for the info. I have a 96 HO motor so I might run the mustang injectors
