  1. Nahh the patina on this thing is just way too good.
  2. So much better. Breaks the back end up nicely of all the red
  3. Also attempted to restore my tail lights. Went with the black trim style to try and break it up from the red body and also hide some cracks... Came out okay the stuff I used on the tail lights left some orange peel and runs but from 5 feet away they look great!
  4. Needed a pick-me-up after the clutch fiasco..
  5. Oof that's no fun. Thing is I knew better. I know there parts are crap but I was impatient and wanted to fix it. Shipping has just been so slow with everything but my new master will be here Tuesday with prime so I guess it's starting to get back to normal.
  6. got a new stock slave in and it definitely fixed my problem, but autozone quality strikes again. new master lasted ONE day. started leaking and I only found out because my turn signals stopped working and when i checked the fuse it was melted and wet with brake fluid... stuffed some papers towels under the master and hosed down the fuse block with electrical contact cleaner. the block itself seems okay. new fuse fixed the turn signals so I think I caught it in time. New LUK master is on order.
  7. Like 1997 to 01 style? I was looking at that possibly but the mounting threw me off. Got any pics of it set up? And yes finally! Can't wait to see and hear it
  8. I found a wilwood master that is 3/4. I just replaced the stock comanche one today and it's better but you can ever so slightly feel it grabbing still. Might do the cj7 7/8 master because I can get it tomorrow. Wilwood id have to wait. What are you running in yours?
  9. Well I have ran into my first couple problems. 3 weeks with no issues was too long without a problem I guess the jeep decided. Clutch started dragging. Felt like bad syncros but in every gear almost instantly. Found the slave leaking so I rebuilt it (Novak slave). All was good for about 4 days and yesterday the clutch started to not fully disengage again. Slave wasn't leaking this time. It was after a pretty long day of driving in 90+ so I considered i boiled the clutch fluid. It was murky and frothy so I drained and refilled with dot 5.1. Higher boil point. Better, but Still not fully disengaging. Adjusted the push rod on the slave and still issues. I'm gonna try a new master cylinder but the stock one is only a .688 bore and slave is .75 so I'm thinking its not moving enough fluid? 1997 to 2001 xj master is .71 but mounting is not the same. Cj7 master is .81 which is larger than the slave but Novaks site say it should work. Maybe I'm not moving enough fluid or master is going out? Weird how it was fine for a while and now giving me trouble.
  10. And we have light. Thanks for the help I would have had half the jeep torn apart trying to get power
  11. Great up top but it needs floors both sides. I went to school in upstate NY and well, the winters weren't kind. I'll probably do one but in this thread
  12. Oh boy I wouldn't even know where to start. It was my first vehicle and the amount of stuff I've done to it over the years is nuts. I've probably gone through about 3 suspension set ups alone.
  13. Thank you. But now the mystery continues cause that fuse is good. Time to start tracing wires
  14. Thanks! It's definitely a little more flashy than the Comanche
  15. Got a passenger lighted mirror on the sun visor from an 86 for my 88. Got the harness and plugged it all up. Fit the connector by the glove box in my 88 perfectly but I'm not getting any power to it. Does anyone know where the power comes from? Or if it uses a separate fuse. Couldn't find anything on the fuse box
  16. My 2.5 ran a solid 60 psi with 200,000+ on it so it's plausible I guess. Idk how accurate my gauge was but it didn't make any noise
  17. 1986 long bed. 2.8 5 speed. AMC 20 rear. Currently being parted out due to rust. I was told it was a plow vehicle all its life in NJ
  18. 13.75 I believe. And oh yeah way better. A little weird at first but way better for turning. No longer feel like I'm turning my tow truck.
  19. Wheel installed! Factory cover fits too. Just no working horn for now. Amazing how tiny it feels compared to the factory one but I love it. Took it for a drive and feel way more comfortable cornering harder. Only issue is that it obstructs the top of the speedometer and gas gauge but only if I'm leaning forward, but the holley dash is in full view now.
  20. I definitely spent way too much on this but it is hands down the nicest steering wheel I've ever held. Adapter should be here tomorrow. I'm definitely gonna have to wear white gloves driving this thing now
  21. Perfectly fine. When the lights are on you can see the tiniest amount of light come through the edges because the bezel is ever so slightly smaller long ways, but the sides where the clips are, are the right size so it clips in and stays. I like this way better too than using the huge bezel.
  22. Got the eurotec lights installed. Pretty amazing how similar they are to factory. Just gotta put some blade terminal on the wires. They clip right in. I might paint the trim tan to match but they honestly look good as is.
