  1. I went with the 3.19. I found 3.2 on a couple websites. 3.125 only once. Thanks.
  2. Does anyone know the width of the front leaf spring bushing? I've found 3.19 in and 3.125 in. Need to know exact if anyone has an idea.
  3. I used a propane torch to get mine off. Just burnt it off and then polished and it looked great. Just don't breath the smoke in...
  4. can't even tell I swapped the plugs
  5. I was able to depin and save the plug and retainer. Ordered some new pins and will connect everything up according to your right up. Thanks!
  6. Have the nicer quartz clock out of an 86 and want to put it in my 88. 86 had blue connector with 5 wires, 88 had black connector with 4 wires. Found the gojeep page about the clocks and wiring diagrams and it seems I really only need to connect Red, blue, and ground to make it work. I don't need the dim function. Anyone do this swap? Just want to make sure I'm correct in the wires.
  7. Finally got the new oil cooler in. -10an lines, thermostat, and really nice diverter. Wayyyy better than my old set up.
  8. The first 2 pictures are mine now. Then the last picture is all I can find for replacements. Nothing with the correct speedometer connector and nut on the same cable.
  9. Speedo cable has started leaking. It's the original factory one. One end is the plastic connector, but the one without the tab, and the other end is a nut. Haven't been able to find what I need between the 2 ends. I see some of the replacements have a serrated connector on the trans side, not a nut. Are they the same thread and size? Factory is 4 cylinder ax4 2wd. Now it's v8 and tremec trans but the factory cable worked great.
  10. Ouch....
  11. I'll be there! What's the word this year for a meetup? Last year was pretty fun.
  12. This weather will just not break here. Laundry list of stuff to do and it's crummy and cold out way too much still. Managed to get some work done. Chrome bumper from the 86 I junked cleaned up nicely while matching the patina. New chrome mirrors and chrome door handles. Also got the new tail light lenses on and installed. Soooo much better than my faded out ones. Added some rear louvers for that 80s look goodness. Currently redoing my oil cooler set up and installed a better fitting pan. -10an all around, thermostat for the oil so it'll reach operating temp and maintain it, and just an all around better setup. I'll get some pics when that's done. Cam will be going in soon along with getting the heads redone. Aluminum flywheel and a fancier clutch will follow. I was hoping to have this almost done by now but this weather just won't cooperate.
  13. So because of my aftermarket steering wheel the horn button no longer works. In NJ a horn is needed so I wanna hook up a switch to a factory spot. Does anyone know if the wiper switch or defroster switch from a Cherokee work like a momentary? I know on the newer Cherokee the switches have a momentary push function for the rear sprayer. Just seeing if the older style switch is the same.
  14. Bump. Still looking.
  15. I have a set in decent shape
  16. I'm sure with some light metal work it could be made to fit really nice. My truck is by no means nice body wise so I didnt care about gaps. Whats nice though is the mounting holes on the bumper line up perfectly with 2 holes in the bed so no drilling or cutting to make it fit. Just bolted right on.
  17. not custom. its for a 82 to 93 s10 off ebay. I paid like $100 for it and it lines up well enough.
  18. $200 for just lenses, but they sure do look good.
  19. Ended up going with no trim at all. Only had 2 left on eBay so didn't want to miss out.
  20. Hmm been a while since I had all red. Maybe it'll look better with new lenses? I originally did black lines to break up the back end a bit. And it's either a dakota or S10, I forget but can find out. Ah that makes the decision a bit easier. I thought they were shiny chrome.
  21. Going to pickup a set of the key lenses for the comanche. (picture makes mine look better than they are). Trying to decide between chrome and black trim. I have black ones that I painted on now. I have chrome door handles and mirrors going on soon but the bumper and tailgate handle will remain black. I'm leaning towards black trim but still unsure.
  22. Ended up just getting new eBay ones.
  23. Trunnion upgrade is definitely a must. I went with the bronze bushing style from CHE. Very high quality kit. You can also get the caged needle bearing version but I wanted to completely move away from needles.
  24. Little rich for my blood but I appreciate it. Maybe if I was going for factory fresh. I found a new aftermarket set for like 120
  25. Before I get a brand new set, I'd like to see if anyone has chrome mirrors with the adjustable knob for the interior. No cracks in the plastic and in working order. Thanks.
