Converting Mechanical Speedometer To Electric
boxyjeep replied to boxyjeep's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Sorry, I misread your original post. This kit primarily focuses on transplanting the 91-96 speed sensor and gauge into 90 and below. The np241or tcase with Hall effect sensor won’t work. That being said, I believe some standard GPS speedometer sensors may be compatible (but I haven’t tested it yet). -

Yep—works the same for NP242 and NP231, as it uses the original tailbone part with the embedded speedo gear. -

Some modifications are necessary. Check out this video. -
I've been working on this for awhile and thought it would be worth sharing with this group. We've all dealt with the crappy cable-driven speedo that results in a bouncing speedometer. You replace the cable, try to oil it, etc, but nothing fixes it. To address this, we've come up with a kit that allows you to swap in a 1991-1996 electronic speedometer gauge from a newer cluster along with the associated wiring harness and electronic sensor. It's surprisingly a super easy swap and results in a speedometer that's smooth as butter. Since you only replace the speedometer gauge, all of your other gauges continue to work like they did before. On top of all this, we believe this will work with some of the universal cruise control kits (like this one--although we haven't tested yet).

Just use cell phone. No need for a landline anymore.

We now have these back in stock. Please take a look! https://boxyjeep.com/products/jeep-comanche-6-5-rear-speaker-brackets

Makes sense. Let me see what we can do to do another run of metal ones.

Engine bay looking mint!

Any specific reasons you want the metal ones? The new plastic design is just as reliable and substantially cheaper. Feel free to shoot me a DM too.

looking for your Comanche literature
boxyjeep replied to Pete M's topic in MJ Tech: DIY Projects and Write-Ups
Very cool read. I also like some of the diagrams of the transfer case/transmission. Let me see what I can spin up... -
Haven’t done this but believe you need to call the state ref and setup a time for it to be inspected.
-
I have one ready to go from a spare harness. DM me.

Price is back up to $6xx now. Wish I saw this sooner :-(
-
Really glad to hear about your progress. Keep the great attitude and you’ll be able to overcome any challenge.

To be honest, the front factory brackets leave a lot to be desired. One side is just a long screw with plastic standoffs into the fender liner. I'd strongly recommend doing something like one of our other members did where they built a bracket between the fender mount and inner body.

We’ve got a Labor Day sale right now…. 15% with code “LABORDAY”.

Not sure if you have the brackets, but if you need those too, I also make replicas: https://boxyjeep.com/products/jeep-comanche-mj-mud-flap-bracket-kit-1986-1992

Replacement Tailgate Handles - A Retrospective
boxyjeep replied to boxyjeep's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Thanks! Really appreciate that. I'm hoping that some of my upcoming products will be even more appealing that the tailgate handles. -
I thought you guys would be interested in hearing about how designing and selling MJ tailgate handles for the past year has gone. With Key Parts now making brand new full assemblies, I've discontinued my stainless repair kit (which allowed you to build a new handle assembly using your old backing plate). During the time I had these for sale, I sold 60 kits, refurbished and sold 7 assemblies, and spent dozens of hours on prototyping, testing, fitting, and recording the install video. While I certainly hoped to continue selling these (and I even was working on a full assembly option), my solution won't be able to compete with the cost of the Key Parts offering (~$100), but it's certainly been interesting watching the tailgate handle market over the past year. Good condition assemblies used to fetch a tall premium on eBay and secondary markets. With the advent of my kit (and the Key Part successor) the availability of used options has gone up substantially with much more reasonable pricing too. It was a good run, but on to new products!
