just got the trans/tc pulled, gonna be pulling the engine out tmr(87 Chief). Any common mistakes or something that I might miss and could hear about now? Thanks

ah ok

Nah just those not the aluminum, felt dumb asking bc it's one of the most generic wheels out there in a way, but figured maybe it was an option for base models or something

Not to hijack the thread but those white wheels that were on in the older pics you sent, were those a factory option or just a generic wheel? Mine has them but obv no idea if that is what it had when new. I'm sorta asking anybody if they know

Yea, but as long as your not immediately doing some hard offroading it would work until u find the right crossmember, plus it's basically free.

I thought I had pictures on my phone, but I couldn't find any

I'm still using the YJ 4wd shifter in my truck but will soon be swapping in a console and therefore need the AX-15 4wd shifter bracket assembly, do u have any or would u be willing to sell the shifter from one of those?

Instead of hammering the floor or reclocking it, what I did (for context mine was a 89 BA/10 2wd and I got the ax-15 and np231 from a 92 YJ) was I made 1 inch spacers from 1/4 inch square tubing to drop the whole crossmember down low enough. TC fits with no problems. I did this after getting frustrated not being able to find a ax15 crossmember. You could do this and when u find an ax15 cross member just swap it over. I'm no longer running mine like that because I have a new crossmember for long arms.

Does this count as NOS?

I wonder if it's on the registry

https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1089586-Jeep-Comanche-MJ.html Is this not a Street Comanche? The lighting sucks but I swear I see the body kit.

Already have a replacement distributor, gonna put it on when I get time off of school, but in the meantime, when I checked for slop, there was barely any side to side, but plenty of rotational, and some up and down. Are those any problem, or is just side to side the problem? Btw, the rotor and cap had the same black carbon starting to form.

Very useful explanation thanks. In that case its gotta be a loose shaft.

Welp I'm getting the same symptoms all of a sudden again. I'll see if the cap contact points look any good, and then I'll check the shaft for slop, which I never did.

no def not, mines like that too its just grime or whatever

I just remembered I even had these pics on my phone and I'm 99% sure I never posted it on here but back in like Feb of 2021 I passed this minty Eliminator and stopped to ask abt it. It was owned by this nice older couple, still being used as a daily/small work truck. She wouldn't sell it which is understandable, especially to the random high schooler she was talking to that would have done who knows what with itLuckily I got the vin for the registry.

Thank you!

yea

I'm still gonna be as careful as possible, but I didn't think it was like dodge level of brittle. The regular grey interior in my 89, on the dash it has one spot over the cluster where it cracked and sorta fell apart and split, exposing the foam sort of material inside, but on the rest of the dash I can slam my fist on it and its fine

Thanks thats a lot of good info. One of the hinges holding the ash tray in are already gone, I'm sure I can cobble something together with superglue or jb weld tho. The wires staying on the cab part sucks to hear, but its probably a good idea to remove all of the electronics anyways.

I'm eventually gonna be removing the whole interior from the 87 Chief I got. To anyone who has removed an entire dash before, is there anything in particular that is like usually extra brittle and should be extra careful with, or something I might not know is still hooked up that I might miss?

Ah ok

Where there ever any police XJ 125mph speedos for the other style of gauges, like from an 87?

Oh ok good

Oh ok so it was built in January of 87, so would that mean it has pack con or metri pack connectors, and which does my 89 have?
