I can't really give a specific number aside from cheaper is better, I'm a senior in HS. But I'm in no rush, I bet the sound deadening, and actually having a carpet and rear cab panel thing will alone improve the sound a lot. Eventually I wanna replace the speakers, whether I spend $40 on each pair or $100 on each pair, it's gonna sound better than the either OEM or old cheap aftermarket ones I have in now.

Nah IF I got an amp, it wouldn't be for a WHILE. I got a feeling when I have an actual complete interior, sound deadening, and new speakers its gonna sound amazing as is. That and I'd hate to take up even more of the tiny amount of room I have already.

https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/jeep,1989,comanche,4.0l+242cid+l6,1181674,heat+&+air+conditioning,heater+core,6864 I got the APDI/PRO one, getting here tuesday, hopefully will be doing that and interior swap this week.

I have a sony radio I put in my MJ from pretty much day one. The stock or previous owner's speakers sound pretty bad with it. I'm about to actually have a carpet and sound deadening, so I'm sure they will at least be more audible then, but I'm looking for some better after market speakers that will fit without having to trim or bulge the door cards and B-pillars. Not sure if I wanna get an amp eventually, but does anybody have a good recommendation for speakers?

It looks like the right bolt pattern. Would this work with the right amount of r134a oil?

Gotcha

91 white Eliminator 89 Base model. Nothing rare here, just pointing out the thin maroon pinstripe decal which I've also seen on XJ's. Note this wraps around the tailgate and meets at the tailgate handle.

(Hopefully this upcoming week) I'm gonna swap the full interior in, new heater core and evap core, I'll just leave the evap core capped off. Whenever I'm ready to do the a/c conversion, my plan is this: https://jeepair.com/products/copy-of-1987-1990-wrangler-r134a-conversion-kit?variant=41322890789061 Gonna get this kit, and a new compressor to play it safe. Not sure of the condition of the condensor but if I decide to replace it I'm just gonna get a junkyard one. The lines I was planning on reusing from my 89 r12 system, or the 87 r12 system, whichever appear to be in better condition. So that would make everything brand new except for the lines, and the condensor, which I will be sure to replace the orings in. I have no idea what mount I'm running or what you even mean by that. My truck still currently has the stock 89 4.0 A/C components in it. And I thought people were saying in theory if I knew for sure my r12 compressor was fine, as long as I put the right oil in it I could still use it on the r134a swap. I'm simply asking now because I've pretty much decided I'm gonna get a brand new one to be safe. If a brand new r12 compressor is cheaper than a r134a compressor, and they do the same thing, I'm getting the cheaper one.

If I get a new compressor, do I just get one for an 89 MJ/XJ or do I get an r134a one from a later model XJ? Idk if there's a difference between the compressors.

Cool, thanks

My factory door jams are really touchy. Most of the time you open the door and they don't work so you wiggle them some and then the lights come on. -Is there an easy fix to sorta restore them? -Is there an aftermarket I could get that fits as oem?

1989 Jeep Comanche Assuming it had a 4.0 since it was an Eliminator, I didn't check though. Not sure of build date Atlanta area as far as I know, the picture of it was taken at Caffeine and Octane Status: Runs and drives on the road Notes: Don't know too much, only talked to the owner for a bit. It's an Eliminator obviously, but it also has the Comanche Bed liner Current Owner: Didn't get a name or anything

We went to the Caffeine and Octane event today with my dads Original Owner 97 Crew Cab Short Bed F250. Was not expecting to see this 89 Eliminator. The owner was cool, I got his VIN so I could add it to the registry. I didn't get the best pics, but one thing I noticed was it had an original swb Comanche bed liner.

I'll wait a little longer before it, I might find some you never know. I don't even have the black interior in my truck yet.

Once the cables are replaced, if that somehow still doesn't fix it the only things I could think of after that is the solenoid on the starter and the starter itself.

I'll probably get that kit I just linked, and just get the cheapest new compressor I can find. Also that write up is very useful thank you

I may just hope my compressor is good, and buy this with a new evap core ofc. https://jeepair.com/products/copy-of-1987-1990-wrangler-r134a-conversion-kit?variant=41322890789061

I wouldn't know, if you see it lmk please

I'll either get that or kilmat. here's a bulk purchase, which makes me think of another question. The new components I'm buying, should I be buying a r134a evapcore, compressor, receiver drier... or do I buy them brand new as r12 then do the Oring thing like I was planning on already? https://www.ebay.com/itm/184593343706?fits=Year%3A1989|Model%3ACherokee|Make%3AJeep&hash=item2afa9ee4da:g:jcEAAOSwZq9f46Qr&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA8HyPxCRx22s4nqoVOu0mMcZL%2BQB0RlX86jNHopPczZ7%2BiuqcVBgURA2yu%2Frp62BvBb9TCQmoOsoB1G8UncIZk400TxpMxZ9N5mPiOAXOCLN0F6Asl%2BnTGkvu%2Fs3TAfvCNDNQ7pzBe14xIWqTlgjPiV%2Fe4Z7xu0Bg1wd7sSS43D1HZes0q3QkzpvX2yM4BSM1nZ2iGABvIZnlTmt8yt0xPHKjQKVoD2icbnQIthHoZL6ZSCRRqvw0ea8plDDsyMgL8xMbGLrEgbT%2FAwR2FzzZdPlxaajnhlsEQAsxfshdMvYFicxt9M5rT37BHNVy0ZcsDA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMiJPujbxh

Yea. I'm assuming thats one of those kits that also adds a ground from the battery to the fender. Those are always nice to add.

After all this a/c I still need a heater core, sound deadening, and I'm looking at just getting an Azzy's Linkage now instead of later. On that note, are there any cheaper alternatives like the Azzy's Linkage that perform adequately? I'd rather not drop $90, even though I'm sure they are worth it for the build quality.

I still make money from odd jobs and such, I'm not on a fixed income of any kind so I'm trying to save wherever I safely can

My dad brought up a good point about how I have no idea my compressor works, and way back when when we tried charging it and it randomly all escaped from somewhere we never did locate it. So it might not be a bad idea to just get a new compressor. With that being said, is getting a used one from ebay a dumb idea? https://www.ebay.com/itm/155241363784?fits=Year%3A1989|Model%3ACherokee|Make%3AJeep&hash=item24251b3948:g:iBQAAOSw~KNjZplS&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAsDCdzPjb%2FZOY0%2FWlU0f5ZFzRPVoWkoqx2Wdogct86EEu%2B5cf0%2BWDGrkNlM0Ic16FgU7wU%2BHp9qVD4Bhhn7lO1xkhNKl7WIx8jiIJD40d1%2FQdVVQZjHul9cNfr5qgebexbaWOM6d0o5n7VKEybSBvDXmPWGy5ll3WIcW7vcg3kW%2BK9WJZTwny14F9q9vpANxukIgWqxHRCCJ167370RRfNG8Mn%2Bjyy1JnbsTNJrDB4kUz|tkp%3ABk9SR4qT7o28YQ

The whole cables or just the clamps on the battery?

Thats pretty cool
