88mjsally

Drove the truck to a car show today and it did decent but still need to mess with the tuning more. Started wiring the trailer brake controller up as well since I have a 94 Cherokee country to pickup this week for parts

Had to do a little more tuning on the truck but it’s still running pretty good. Just having some issues returning to idle at times for some reason. I went and picked up my long bed blue truck from my buddy’s house with it today. Towed pretty well on the dolly and it’s not often you see a comanche towing another comanche. I need to make the trailer brakes work and do a booster and master upgrade since stopping was a little hard but it did well overall. Peep the wrangler in the background after having to push the blue truck on the trailer

Got the hybrid cluster worried up and installed and it seems to all work. Used a Renix gauge in the ho cluster so the fuel gauge will read the correct way. Next up for this truck is probably a windshield and rear slider. I need to focus on finishing up my blue long bed mj as well so I can sell/ trade it for a bigger truck. None of my trucks are really up to towing a car trailer or my boat so I’ll go down to 2 mjs, the tj and some sort of bigger truck

Took the passengers window regulator all the way out before I figured out that it wasn’t plugged in all the way…. It’s back in and fixed now so both windows and auto locks work

It’s a 54 on a 87 s10 frame on coilovers up front. 87 corvette tpi motor and 700r4 trans. We’ve had it for a while and it needs a paint job but it’s a good driver

White Cherokee went away today so got a pic of 2 of my trucks and dads on the driveway all together

Got the passengers power door in and I mocked up all the wiring. I got lucky a while back on Facebook and scored a comanche power window and lock harness so I finally put that to use. Locks work and the drivers window works but of course I need a new regulator for the passengers side….

I appreciate it, it was great meeting you as well!

Probably going to put these on this truck once I paint it and have a place to store it indoors

Finally found a matched set at a Jeep shop in Illinois

Major milestone achieved today. Drove the truck around the block for the first time! Drive pretty good other than being loud from no muffler. Brakes worked good after bench bleeding this morning then bleeding the whole truck. It also needs a windshield and rear window badly. Rear lights don’t work but it’s because I haven’t hooked up the wire for them yet. Overall good test drive though. I also replaced the drivers door with a nicer power door. Goal is to add power windows and locks since I have all the parts

Got the booster and master in. I ended up using lines from a 95 and tying them into the factory mj lines that went to the old booster with a couple adapters. That way I didn’t have to mess with reflaring lines. Just have to get a bench bleeding kit tomorrow and I’ll install it for good. Also turns out the rear load valve was already bypassed. Going to try it as is and use the xj valve if it doesn’t work as well as I want. Also put the driveshaft in and did a bunch of little things trying to get it ready for a test drive

Got the 93 axle under the Truck today with all new control arms, steering, shocks, track bar and brake lines. Ended up putting the steel wheels on it since I got tired of having to air up the crappy tires on the turbines and these tires are decent. Started messing with the booster/ master upgrade too but ran out of light. Using a 95/96 xj booster and master with a 93 xj proportioning valve so I can delete the rear load valve

Got the axles pulled out of both the red truck and the doner xj. Supposed to rain all day tomorrow so Wednesday I’ll put the xj axle in the mj with all new control arms, shocks and steering

I appreciate it. Yea that’s the plan right now. I’ll be working on all the body work over the next couple months then painting it

I knew when I got the truck that the drivers door had contacted the fender at some point in the past. I thought the hinges were broken but turns out the bolts were falling out. Got a new fender on today and plan to pull out a door to swap on this week

She’s alive!! New fuel tank, pump and the original sending unit went back in today. Also changed the injectors and fuel filter. Fired right up with no leaks just like when it was in the xj. Just need to add exhaust, a driveshaft and a bunch more to start driving but it’s getting there IMG_2526.MOV IMG_2526.MOV

Throttle body came back in time for me to drive the truck home. Runs really good now and only needs some minor tweaking as well as a brake upgrade. I installed a new to me knakk tool box today and it’s much better than the cheap ranger one I had in it

I have one from an 89

Scored a pair of nos taillights today that will probably end up on this truck. Found them at a Jeep shop up north so I’ll post pics when I get them in

yea I think I did pretty good for $250 although I think that’s what the guy paid for it complete😂

Yea it was. I was pretty surprised to see it on a short bed. Limited slip as well

Picked up a rear 44 and the rest of the black interior I needed for the truck today. Guy was tearing down a 87 chief to make into a buggy

Well after being my daily for a few months the truck is broken again. One injector is not firing at all and another is barely working. Just took the throttle body off and it’s off to Holley tomorrow for 4 new injectors. Truck has run bad for a few weeks and got to the point when it wouldn’t idle at all. I’m graduating in a few weeks so the truck will likely end up having to be trailered home

The engine was rebuilt with a fresh head and a terrible green paint job so that got painted Saturday and installed. Still have to take the valve cover off and paint that. Waiting on injectors now. Going to swap to the newer 95/96 xj brake booster as soon as it gets here. Plan to swap over the 2wd front axle from the xj over as well with the newer unit bearings. Keeping the truck 2wd since the xj was 2wd and I just don’t need a 4wd Comanche. I’ll be moving back home after graduation in December so I’ll try to keep updating this and get it back on the road
