This aged well

Thanks I'll try to go back tomorrow.

Is that something the dealer has access to? The guy working there was filling in so he didn't really know.

I don't think I've posted it there. Ok I think the 75th anniversary package is a code they re-used too.

I thought some of y'all might find this interesting. Since I lost my MJ in the park fire I'm dealing with insurance. My insurance company had a bunch of wrong info so I went to the dealer to get the build sheet. It also has wrong info just not as much Like the 3.6 My 87 cherokee build sheet also showed a 3.6 I don't understand it must be a jeep thing.

Thank you that's good info I wonder if insurance will accept that for my Comanche. Way better than 1 off anectdotes

Thank you

Hey everyone, I just lost everything including my jeeps in the Park Fire. I'm in need of for sale listings that are similar builds to my XJ and MJ because right now my insurance company says they're worthless. I'd appreciate it if you find any listings that are similar in build if you can link them here. Right now I'm trying to inventory my house. Something similar in value to the price of the xj is going to be hard to find. It's supposed to be similar in year as well.

I think I'm done man. Insurance isn't going to pay much. They told me they wouldn't really cover the XJ over Blue book. Mj blue book is $3k

My XJ's last adventure, glad I was able to do it. Moab was awesome.

Printers are gone too so I won't be making jeep parts for the foreseeable future.

Well this old girl along with my XJ and everything else I own were lost in the Park fire in California. Coincidentally I was wearing my Comanche club shirt when I found out today. RIP little truck.

Yeah, I imagine if I had the original it would be a 30 minute job. I've already had it in and out at least 5 times at this point. I cut the first shifter hole before I tried getting it in because I measured off the firewall. It was spot on if there wasn't 7 extra inches of carpet up front . Thankfully that's under the console.

Really wishing my MJ came with carpet so I could cut the new carpet to match. I thought you just cut the holes for this carpet but none of it is cut right.

Trader! :) Luckily for my MJ it's the only backup for my 2019 ram which has proven pretty unreliable. Otherwise I don't really use it enough to justify it :(.

Not sure that will help but it definitely can. Renix jeeps came with as low as 60 amp alternators. It's also worth noting the aux fans need 30-40 amps each to start. Low voltage would probably decrease life of other electrical components/alternator. You can also put on a 91+ thermostat housing and add a petcock to it. I don't know how people use that for burping but I bet a NAXJA search would pull it up. I also use the Prestone flush kit on my heater hose. This will add another accessible high point. Some people don't like the idea since it adds a point of failure but mine has never exploded ;)

Awesome this will probably save some poor comanches from a date with a junkyard.

I'd get a clutch fan that works. I have a fan clutch eliminator on my XJ it works great, but it's a crawler Either way the tiny Renix alternator suffers enough as is. I've been through every cooling mod when I was younger. Electric fans were the biggest waste. If the stock fan can cool my stroker pushing 41's it can handle street use. I don't see mention of burping here. I like to first fill from the top rad hose. Then remove the temp sensor on the back of the head, park the jeep nose down and fill it while at operating temp until it comes out of the sensor hole. Reinstall sensor, place cap on. Take a couple short drives getting up to operating temp (210 I think) and check fluid each time. If you don't have to top off you're good.

When I installed a whole system I used some 91+ lines from jeepair. Parts list for everything and maybe some info on this post ( click arrow)

Are those installed properly? Looks crooked, like the side is bulging out and the back is pulled in. Hopefully the tailgate side just needs to be loosened and the outer screws tightened.

Haven't made much progress on MJ. A new problem arose with the clutch fluid magically disappearing. Hasn't happened again since oddly enough. I need some good weather and the throttle bracket for an aw4 swap. I got 2.5 ft of snow and it's still coming down. I took the Comanche out for some open dif fun then mobbed around in the XJ. XJ is really struggling to cold start. Hopefully I have some carb cleaner around here for the TB. It's the only thing that can get me to town right now since my road is so steep and we have over 3ft more snow in the forecast.

I have only used a filler primer after lightly sanding. Since each layer is applied .2mm thick you can expect grain at depths around that. Sanding down would need to be very even. Though some have done it and have been happy. I may be overly paranoid.

I look forward to your feedback on that panel. I hope the mounting design is ok. I really wanted to have an option that didn't require drilling into the console even if it's below the trim but I'm afraid it's too convoluted. I really like those rockers too. Did you get door switches out of a 2 door xj or are you putting those switches somewhere else?

These look slick! I think I'd make the swap and just keep the OE ones. Judging by the other tail lights on their site I think we're looking at $300+

Oddly enough mine is in the amazon abyss as well. It has been at their local delivery warehouse for over a week. I just canceled my prime. I haven't had 2 day shipping since covid. Not sure what prime is paying for anymore. I just had ontrac deliver a home depot order and mark it as "left at mail room". I drove to the local store which is a privately operated mail room I use. It wasn't there. I drove home and saw it on the side of the HWY in the ditch by my road soaking wet.
