    !986 Base model. 4cyl, 4 speed, 2WD. Converted to 4.0 inline, 4wd, AW4 trans, power windows, locks, mirrors back in 2000. Retired 1 year ago and decided to refresh everything. Still working on it. Will add pictures when I figure out how to get new computer to recognize phone.
  2. I would be interested in them. Restoring my 1986 Comanche. The drivers door was replaced and painted many years ago, so sticker was lost. I put a 4.0 in many years ago. Also sticker under hood was removed for painting. Please let me know if you plan to make some.
  3. My 86 2.5 did the same thing. Found that one of the fuel injector wires was grounding intermittently and it would cause the injector to pump to much gas and flood the engine. Pedal to the floor and crank and sometimes it would start and make it home. I found it by looking into the throttle body with the key in the on position. (not running) And it was spraying fuel. Pulled back the wire loom and found the bare wire.
  4. I will make it work. What do you want for it? Restoring the 86. To deep into it right now to cut corners.
  5. Hoping Eaglescout might be able to help. I am trying to find the antenna cable grommet. Willing to buy the entire cable if need be. Se attached pic. Need so i can put fender back on.
  6. Do you have cruise control? If so check the white vacuum break switch. Break not brake.
  7. Thank you for replying. Looks like I am going to order some 746's.
  8. Just found another set I purchased years ago. LBS/Hr cc/min Grams PSI Bar 0 280 155 710 20 210 151 53.5 3
  9. I have seen Cruisers site stating Volvo 746 injectors have been proven. I also looked at the date of post. In a spell of insomnia I got on ebay and bought a set of injectors. Now that I am wanting to install them I am worried. Are there any injector gurus that can help me put my mind to ease. I have searched the specs and wonder if theses will work. LBS/HR cc/min Grams PSI Bar (purchased) 0280150943 18.25 191.8 138 43.5 3 (Cruiser 746) 0280155746 19 199.7 143.6 43.5 3 This my daily driver / not a wheeler Any thoughts are appreciated. Jim
  10. Anyone know the part number or where I might be able to get a shift lever spring? I have a 1986 MJ tilt, column shift. The spring is broken. It prevents the lever from locking into place. I have been searching chevy, saginaw, jeep, comanche. There are a lot of them out there just want the right one. Thanks guys/gals Jim

  12. A single pair would negate the fader control. I am not an audiophile just like everything on my comanche to work. Is there any harm to the system if I use 4, 4 ohm speakers?
  13. Can anyone tell me where to find 8 ohm speakers for the Comanche. I google, find what I think I need but the impedance is always 4 ohm. Going to use factory RX-135 radio. Maybe Minuit can chime in.
  14. Had a 87 XJ once. Ignition switch (electrical not mechanical one) went to start one day the key would not turn to start position. Tracked it down to the electrical switch it self. There were signs of over heated contacts. Replaced switch and drove away. Tore switch open for fun. Contacts inside were melted. Fast forward a few years. Driving same XJ and it just died. Coasted to side of road. Had to call for a tow. I was out of town so had it towed to a shop. They ended up having to run a new primary hot wire from starter relay to ignition switch. Fast forward years again. Bought my first MJ. 86 base. Decided to swap everything from 87 XJ to 86 MJ. 4.0 Aw4 Front dif. While moving wiring harness over I discovered where the firewall fuse box connector bolted together the factory primary hot wire had melted from the internal connector. Sorry so long. I would get a wiring diagram. Find where the power wire to the ignition switch is. Take a meter and see if you have power to switch. There should be a constant hot 12v wire there. If no power there vehicle will not start. Quick and easy check. Been there done that.
  15. Never experienced death wobble myself. Hope to never. Glad your son is Ok. Keep us informed of what they find. I hope this does not deter him from driving the Comanche.
  16. Thank you. This helps. Looks like fabrication time.
  17. I would like to put my bench seat back in my 86 Comanche. Move the shifter from the floor to the column. I have already obtained the micro console. ( I guess that is what it is called. Not the mini.) Column shift with tilt. (I disassembled cleaned and painted to match.) Instrument cluster with gear indicator. (Going to try to modify old tach to display gear selected. And use full gauges.) Column shift cable. I have not had any luck finding how to attach cable to brake pedal assembly. Is it a separate bracket that bolts to the assembly? Is it a special brake pedal assembly? Does anyone have any pictures? Thanks for any help. Jim
  18. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007JR80RM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This is what I bought. Still in box. Cleaning garage for major restoration.
  19. Sorry for your loss. Condolences to you and your family.
  20. Nice I like it.
  21. There are two Phillip screws on the back side . Remove and cover should come off.
