    Tilt column

    Looking for a good tilt column for my 88. Color doesn't matter as long as it's in good shape. Thanks.
  3. That's pretty much where I have mine situated and my temps are really good when moving. I also made a little shield and wrapped the tube in heat tape. Making it work with how little room we have between the radiator and throttle body is tough. You definitely got a lot more going on in the engine bay tho. Lol
  4. 79 a side. I just paid 160 for a new black set. I guess pricey but for brand new and they work great I was very happy with them
  5. I don't know about cherokee belts but these are pretty much a bolt in brand new replacement. All you gotta do is enlarge the bolt hole on the retractor. That's it. Fit perfectly behind all the trim and look great. https://www.seatbeltsplus.com/category/3-Point-Retractable-Seat-Belts.html
  6. Pretty much knock offs lol but at the price I got them i am a-okay with it vs what recaros cost.
  7. Been a while since an update. Finally getting nice out here so it's time to get the manche back out and running. I plan to de-winterize it this week. In the meantime I got some sweet new seats. Procar elites. Not super expensive but seem super nice. Atleast to me. Finally will have the interior done! Just waiting on the brackets now. Got a ton of parts from over the winter to install so this spring I'll be pretty busy.
  8. bought some procar elites today with the brackets. Guess ill see how this goes
  9. Oh wow that's good to know. I found a thread from a couple years ago saying they didn't fit that well at all.
  10. Yeah the plan was to use the factory brackets and the new seats come with sliders. But the aftermarkets all mount pretty wide on the seat compared to the comanches narrow track down the middle. I don't think I'd be able to fit the newer tracks with the trans tunnel. I'm thinking of going factory brackets and sliders and mounting the seat to that.
  11. Pulling the trigger on some nice aftermarket seats soon. I just need something with way more bolster. Trying to figure out how I will mount these in the jeep. I've found some pretty old threads saying how bad the seat companys brackets fit and will definitely have to make my own. Anyone done this and have some tips? I can weld and fab a bit, nothing crazy but enough to where I think I can make some angle iron brackets
  12. I'm gonna call monday and see if I can get some swatches. Going off pictures across the internet the tan looks like itll match enough. They do offer a spice color but its pretty light from what i can tell. Yeah I will be selling these. Not for a while just a fyi. Depends on what it takes to get these mounted up. I won't sell until I get these bolted in. and the rip on the side is the only flaw. They are in really good shape.

    Seat color

    Going to be getting some new seats hopefully soon and plan on going with corbeau. I was set on black but then found they make a tan that looks like it would match my interior pretty good. Unsure with what I want cause if the tan is off a little it'll drive me crazy. Also emailed corbeau about getting black seats with white stitching to match my steering wheel so we'll see how much that is. What does everyone thinks. Black or tan?
  14. so when we drag racing?
  15. Any chance there was a william-clarke dealership in fredericksburg VA? Atleast that's what I can make out from the old dealer tag stain on my tailgate
  16. Definitely planning on driving mine there.
  17. I got a red head steering box on my xj and mj. Pretty expensive when compared to autozone/rockauto prices but wayyyyyy better. My buddy went through 4 boxes from various retail stores before finding a decent one. Problem is I don't think they actually rebuild them. Just a reseal and paint dip. Redhead actually rebuilds with custom bearings matched to the case and fine tunes each box.
  18. I read an article a week or so ago that one of the actual family members of chrysler was super against it but basically got told to sit the f*** down
  19. If pete doesn't want the pass side fender id take it. Mine is way worse than that one.

    Painting

    After getting lost in the mail, my present from my girlfriend finally arrived. She got a painting commissioned of the jeep. Came out so good!
  21. I have to do the exhaust because of the port difference in the head. And yeah it's going against everything I got to not basically redo everything lol I'm the type of a person that if I'm working on something I'd rather get everything possible done if its within reach.
  22. So unfortunately my cherokee has developed a pretty bad knock. Tried new exhaust manifold, seafoam thinking lifters, and tightened converter to flex plate bolts. Nothing helped. changed the oil and its nice and sparkly. sigh. Of course once it snows and drops to the 30s. I think it got jealous the comanche got a nice ls swap. Anyway, I would like to rebuild this motor myself and build it for boost but I don't have the time or money to do it right this second. Picking up a 1997 4.0 with only 112k on it tomorrow to quickly swap in. Not trying to go high buck on this at all but while I have the engine out I want to fix it up. so far I have: New exhaust because mine is a 2000 with a 0331, this has a 0630 head (now I won't have to worry about the 0331 crack) freeze plugs gaskets (oil pan, intake, valve cover, oil adapter) accessories are all new on my current motor so will be swapped over basic tune up anything else I'm missing? don't want to go crazy but anything that will be easier with the engine out
  23. Well the time finally came. Until spring
  24. Which trunnion kit did you use? I'm trying to decide between the captured roller bearing ones or the bushing style
  25. I have to update mine because of the sweetness that is the 21 slot grill
