Mounting depth is about 2", which will fit most slim-mount speakers and will be tight with regular speakers. This also moves the bracket about 1/4" away from the grill which should help when mounting component speakers with integrated tweeter. My thought is to suggest that people use a hole saw on the backside of the b pillar to fit any speakers with a deeper cone. I'm going to test this on my truck once I get the second set of prototypes completed in the next few days.

Glad to hear that! I should have them on sale soon.

I received the first set of prototypes over the weekend and was able to test fit them. I was hoping to be able to use the same design on both sides, but it will likely be unique and slightly offset to fit around the b-pillar cover mounting points. I've introduced a few refinements and have submitted the second prototype for machining. Once I receive these and test fit them, I'll be opening up pre-orders on my website.

Yep! I’ll DM you.

Agreed. Even as someone with Wrangler wheels themselves , when you have something that pristine it makes sense to keep it as original as possible.

I dug through the pictures and it's not as clean as I would have hoped for such a low mileage truck. The repaint isn't terrible, but there's a handful of areas of overspray and I'm not sure if the emblems were removed for paint. On top of that, the undercarriage is caked with undercoating, fluid film, and some odd rust areas (spare wheel, front axle, oil pan). Really surprised it's only 29k miles. That's an average of 1k miles per year since new. Seems a bit suspect, but the Carfax checks out. It also has no catalytic converter. Nonetheless, I'm interested to see what it sells for.

I can't imagine what this would sell for if it was fully original without the suspension modifications. Will still be very high. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1990-jeep-comanche-6/

I've got a set of rears in decent condition. LMK.

I replicated the "Four Wheeler Of The Year" static cling from years ago and had a batch printed on clear vinyl. It measures 12" x 3" and has a clear background with white letters and black outline. High quality vinyl decal with permanent adhesive. $20 shipped (I wish these could be cheaper, but shipping is a bit expensive due to size). https://boxyjeep.com/products/comanche-four-wheeler-of-the-year-rear-window-decal I also design and reproduce other replica decals (take a look at the link above).

Just the handle. Even the most crusty mechanisms can be easily fixed in most cases.

Just got the second revision fitted up and tested. I'm going to make a few minor revisions before putting these up for sale. Very promising so far...

I grew up in the northeast, so I know the pain... My first XJ was rotting at every pore.

Got it. I've been a bit spoiled with my California truck.

What are "frame caps"?

Yes, that’s integrated in the second version of the prototype that is being built right now. Should have some updates early next week.

Depends on material. Likely $60-90.

Should have the second prototype later this week. Updates to come.

Awesome. I’ve got the prototypes getting made now…

Anyone interested in these? I've done some lightweight CAD and will be producing brackets for 6.5" and 5.25" speakers to fit in the rear factory areas.

Awesome score. Get that thing media blasted and freshened up

Steep price for that condition... Those things are rough.

Some installed pics on my truck:

Other than some differences in metal composition, the Renix to HO block is exactly the same. If you have a Renix head (casting number 2686) and Renix intake/exhaust manifolds, sorry, but there is nothing HO about the motor.

These are typically installed on replacement crate engines, cylinder heads, and even junkyard engines. I've seen them on my Clearwater cylinder head and ATK crate engine.
