88mjsally

It looks like you’re looking for the bottom (blue body) cluster in these two pictures. It has the same face as the earlier 84-86 cluster but the speedo connection of the 87-90 cluster. The one in the pics came from an 87 comanche but I’m planning on keeping it for my truck. This is the only one I’ve seen in person like that since they appear to be an early 1987 only cluster

I have a set of good condition used front ones

After 3 long years of building I finally got my truck to make the four hour drive to clemson. It honestly did much better than I expected and didn’t give me any real mechanical issues. It’s still having turn signal and wiper issues related to the steering column switch being messed up but that’ll get fixed eventually. I got a headlight harness installed in it and I’ve ordered a new transmission pan to replace my warped one that leaks everywhere. I’d like to start work on installing ac in it as well once I figure out how to make the gm compressor work with the factory Jeep ac box

I have a set of grey ones if you can’t find blue

Alright I’m fine with meeting another time in the fall and I’m sure Sam will be ok with it as well

I might be able to come down from clemson and meet you on the first leg of your trip as you pass by the clemson exit on i85. I’m sure Sam (satiricalhen) would probaby come with me too

I have an entire assembly, including the plate and actual socket for $15 shipped to your door

I was hoping for better mpg out of mine too but oh well, it was meant to be a fun vehicle. I do want to do efi one day but I think I’m going to hold off for right now. Thank you for the kind words, it’s been a lot of fun and I’ve learned a lot from it

I got a new radio installed in my truck yesterday and it is a lot nicer than the one that it replaced

My total timing is now set at 34 degrees which helped a lot. The shop I brought it to had set it a little higher which was causing the pinging. Mine has been getting around 10-12 mpg around town which isn’t great but it could be worse

I do like how easy it is to swap stuff around for sure. It has a slight kink to it but I’m more than likely going to try another hose. I just tried that one to see how well it would fit and it clears everything but has a slight kink

This past weekend I started mocking up the new front accessories that I got for my truck so I can run ac at some point. The old ones hit the hood so I got the accessories from a 1995 Chevy pickup and they fit much better. I cleaned up the brackets using the wash box at work and painted them. They are now mocked up and I just need to install the new alternator, idler pulley and ac delete. I’ve also fixed some of my running issues by dialing back the timing a little so it runs much better. I’m hoping to be able to bring it to school with me when I go back in a couple weeks

I went under my truck the other day to change the spark plugs and collector gaskets and discovered that the starter had cracked in half. Luckily it had a lifetime warranty so I got it changed today. I’ve still been fighting spark knock issues and an issue with the carb so now I’m strongly considering adding fitech efi. It’ll make it get better gas mileage and run better than with the carb I just need to justify the cost to myself

I have a black one

Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words. It’s come a long way from when I got it for sure

The carpet has finally been installed in my truck and the interior is all back together for the first time since I started the motor swap. It looks really nice and the new carpet fit very well with only minor trimming needed. I also got new rugged ridge floor mats to keep the carpet looking nice

I’ve been working on repairing the rust in my floors over the past week and have it all cut out and patched now. I decided to use plug welds to weld in the new metal then seam sealed the edges like factory. I have also put down insulation on the floor and the back of the cab. I’m hoping to put the carpet in today and get the interior back together. I’ve also been fighting a ping in the motor at wide open throttle. I’ve had it in and out of the shop that I had tuning on it and they haven’t gotten it figured out yet so I bought a timing light yesterday so I can try to retard the timing and make it run a little better

Yes I did, the vent windows were leaking a little bit so I replaced those and it was leaking under the dash around the heater box so I fixed that as well. It’s rained a lot here recently and I haven’t seen any water come inside

I’ve been driving the truck more in the past week and am really putting it to work today hauling all of the scrap from past projects. It’s still doing pretty well and I’m planning on working on fixing the small amount of rust in the floors this weekend so I can insulate and put down new carpet

I have one for sale. It is the one in the bottom left corner in this picture

Well it was kinda cheap.... I went ahead and put the new fuel pump and relay harness in so I didn’t have any other problems with it. Classes are going pretty well. I have two more years left before I graduate

I’ve been fighting a few issues with my truck recently but I think I have most of them worked out. It sputtered and died on me last week when I drove it home from work. At first I thought it was out of gas but I added gas to it and that still didn’t fix it. Then I put in a new fuel pump since the old one wasn’t running anymore which also didn’t fix it. At that point it was dark so I had it towed home and I ordered a fuel pump relay harness for it. After installing that on Thursday afternoon I was still having issues which I traced back to a bad fuel pump ground. I’m running an aftermarket fuel pump and I made my own ground but apparently it wasn’t good enough. It’s running good now and I used it to tow a 21 foot trailer home so I could wire it. Now I just need to fix the bouncing speedo which I hope to get too today

I have a pair of armrests, I’ll try to get a picture of them tonight and see if they are decent since its been a while since I’ve looked at them

I have started finishing up the interior recently including fixing the wipers, installing door panels and adding courtesy lights. I picked up a xj third brake light from the junk yard and I’m planning on trying to adapt it to fit in the back window so I have one

Thank you, I appreciate it!
