500 MJ

I’ve got fronts and rears of the AMC rubber style. If I get the chance today I’ll trace them out and load up some pictures.

You’re going to have some fun with this... clean it up, get it running and you’ve got something there!

Man, that’s a sweet deal! There is some money in those parts. I could see that working out if you have interest in any of the larger items. Then utilize a plethora (5 or 6) of USPS flat rate boxes to ship the rest of the stuff? Any interest in the tailgate, wing window, and lower dollar items that would be left over and not fit in flat rate boxes on your end? I see that being your reward for doing the legwork here...

Tail light!

Tail light!

Yeah they have! Would you like some Comanche with that new frame and cage of yours?

Found on ebay, getting parted out. https://www.ebay.com/itm/COMANCHE-1988-Ignition-Switch-128836/352697142555?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908103841%26meid%3D75cbe5473c34474b894d5c237bf96ab8%26pid%3D100227%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D352697142555%26itm%3D352697142555%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2053904&_trksid=p2053904.c100227.m3827

ENJOY THAT DRIVE, Happy Birthday!

THAT is a nice truck! Welcome to the club!

Nope, you should be all set. The XJ and MJ came with the same clocking for the t-case from the factory.

Tail lights, Sun visor center clips, Tailgate handle, etc. Don’t leave any of the MJ specific and easy to nab parts there! Also nab some more pictures of the truck to post up here!

Junkyard Truck parted out by Horseshoe Auto Wrecking in SW Bremerton, WA. I purchased some parts online from this truck and the VIN came on the sales receipt for the parts. No pictures of the truck.

Yeah they work really well. The stuff that bothers us does not bother them at all. Mosquitos and nasty brush, they have no issue with it. Originally we thought about getting one of the goats, then it became pretty clear that having one would be more effort than it was worth for just keeping the property cleared. We’ve got no interest in the breeding/milk side of it. We’ve got young kids, that’s enough for now. Lots of sun to the west and there is a hillside and trees to the east, that is why I sloped the roof to come down above the door. Little sun comes from the east. I wanted to be able to see the door from the house too.

Yes this is correct. Also, I do have the orange Side Marker Lenses For Sale in this thread too.

That is a good idea. I like your thought there! I do have a nice pressure washer and the 100’ hose will reach that far! Yes, the view here is nice. We are on a small hill and the view to the west over the shed from the house for sunsets is quite nice. When we moved in back in 2013 all of the area that shed is built at and anything that wasn’t part of the yard was unmaintained woods. It took me quite a few year but the woods are now very manageable and the mosquitos are far less nasty than they used to be. Next year I’ll finally be able to mow my entire property with an old push mower at least. Getting the unwanted and fallen trees cleared was a task. Then in 2018 and 2019 we rented these guys for two summers in a row and they essentially took care of the rest of the brush! Each photo here here is a day apart. The last day they had it all chewed down to stalks.

Junkyard Truck parted out by Balow’s Highway 7 Auto Salvage in Lester Prairie MN. (I purchased a tail light from the truck) I will get more pics from an online source when I am at a computer next.

I have all of this, PM sent.

Is it a short bed or long bed?

That leaky master cylinder is a big thing to take care of. The hydraulic fluid will ruin your fuse block. Nice looking truck, welcome to the club!

ebay. Not much left of this one... https://www.ebay.com/itm/COMANCHE-1988-Steering-Shaft-207959/274276305740?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Df98f33fd0ae74c2fbea9c1fd955da954%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D274276305740%26itm%3D274276305740%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A7a58201d-5292-11ea-b1bc-74dbd18019fc|parentrq%3A5a1f4cf71700ac3cf900f734ffd2eaaa|iid%3A1

There were two versions, chrome or painted black. Which one are you looking for? The chrome ones are harder to find, so their asking price will be higher. Nice Truck! Tell us more about it and the complete classifieds section will open up for you. 10 post are needed to unlock it.

Got it.

So this is a radiator issue or am I misunderstanding something here? Why could someone just not plumb the trans cooling into the radiator and run their own cooler separately like we have in the XJs and MJs. If the hookup at the radiator is absolutely necessary and can’t have one side of the wall left dry, why not just plumb it into the loop and fill both sides of the wall with coolant?
