So I’m trying to remove a bench seat but the nuts are rusted and seized onto the the seat frame base on the floor. I looked underneath for bolts sticking out which I would cut off to release it, but the underneath is so rusted out I’m not seeing them. Is it possible to remove it without cutting up the frame?

Thank you

89 Pioneer LWB in Ma. 4.0, auto, 4X4 Sadly it’s in pretty bad shape and will be used for parts.

Looks good, thank you.

Anyone running the 15” steel wheel with the two tone center cap and chrome trim ring? Would like to see some pics of what it looks like.

The bezels and the knob look like it but the handle itself does not. I’d buy them, but then I still need to find a matching handle so I’ll kinda be in the same boat. Thank you but I’m gonna pass.

👍

Sounds good, I will look in those locations and see if I get lucky.

Thank you for the build information.

My 87 Sport, black, honey interior, 2WD, short bed, 2.5L, manual trans, sunroof, ongoing project in Ma.

The panels I have are in pretty good shape, so not really looking to spend money on another set. Thank you

Sounds good, I live in Taunton Ma. Thanks

These are my current honey door cards. Rather than swap them out completely I’m wondering if anyone has the door pockets I could attach to these? Also looking for honey window cranks and hockey style arm rests. Thanks

Awesome, thank you!

I don’t see any update on this since March. I would definitely be in for fog/cargo and sport bar light switch panels. Is this still ongoing?

Thank you for the heads up! Got one on the way

Do they have to be OEM WJ arms or will Core arms fit if I wanted to lift 3” or 4” as well?

Ok thanks for the info everyone. Been working so much lately i just haven't gotten a chance to get a look at whats going on. I do like adding the extra leaf idea. junkyard XJs are plentiful around here.

Visually, the rear end is sitting much lower than the front end. When I first got it home it sat level from front to back. It's a second vehicle and hasn't seen much use since I got it. Honestly haven't looked underneath to see if anything else is going on, i just assumed they had sagged.

My new to me short bed Comanche has sagging leaf springs, so I’m going to need to swap them soon. I’ve found an online website that sells replacements. There are two different spring pack choices available. I’m guessing one is the normal spring pack and the other is the equivalent to the metric ton spring pack. It already had an SOA on it. Is it worth paying extra for the metric ton springs or not?

Some pics of both sides of the trans tunnel. Disregard the hacked up floor pans that are there. Previous owner put those in and they’re gonna need to be removed and done right.

Ok, thanks guys. I’ll get some pics up soon.

Ok, would it make sense to just use the trans area from the XJ and still go with the Comanche replacement floor pans? Got quite a few mid 80's XJs near me at salvage yards. Figured if I could use the entire XJ floor pan it would make things easier.

My 87 needs a whole new floor. I’ve looked into the replacement front and rear panels. Problem is the metal over the trans tunnel needs to be replaced as well. The panels I’ve seen don’t include the trans area. The one place I found online that had the entire floor replacement, hadn’t updated their website, and didn’t really have it. So what are my options? Am I going to need to source a parts Comanche truck or will the floor from a mid 80’s XJ work?

This is very good information, thank you!
