  1. Sugar Candy Mountain
  2. Pretty sure the columns are "standard" Chevy steering columns. You could start looking in full size Chevys trucks from the 80s-90s
  3. Ouch, I drive a Prius. Not cause I'm "pious" but because I don't like to $pend money on gas (I'm cheap) to drive 40 miles a day to and from work. Plus, I'd rather save that cash for ole Jeepy or my 69 Mach 1 mustang or 2015 Sliverado, those vehicles are way more fun to drive, trust. Regarding the cancel culture comment, I agree it's wrong. Wrong on both ends of the spectrum, on the left they want to ban anyone who made a mistake, on the right they want to cancel anything that makes them think about the actions of their forefathers in a negative light. Both extremes are wrong, but they are important. America is somewhere in the middle. We all need to be respectful of each other's ideals, but we don't have to like or agree with them and neither side should get to impose "MY WAY OR THE HIGH WAY" on another. "Don't tread on me" and all that you know? it swings both directions, so I find it funny when I see right wingers flying that flag as they "crush dems", they are missing the point. DON'T IMPOSE YOUR METHODAOLGY ON ME, LEAVE ME BE We all need to remain open minded and remember that we all live in this country together. We will certainly have differences of opinions but that should make us stronger because we keep each other in check and encourage us to find common ground that we can agree on and live with. Look at all of us. We have a common passion, our money pit Jeeps. I've bought parts from some of you that clearly are on the different side of the political spectrum than I am, but hey my Money is green, and we want to help each other out, so we all benefit. What would happen if we all had to declare our political stance before joining this forum or to buy or sell parts to each other, it would suck, that's what. Back OT I left my Comanche emblems in the drawer in my garage because I am not sure if I want, or don't want to make some kind of political statement, so I leave them off. as they were when I drove my MJ out of the bushes. I was not aware of the Comanche history, that was an interesting read, but I am still not going to tread on another person's heritage "just because I can" or "because look at their history" it just doesn't sit well with me. Run em on your rig, that's your choice, I'm not here to change you mind. Like I said these are my beliefs, take them or leave them. I hope we can all agree that we have different viewpoints (political and otherwise) and carry-on being Jeep/MJ/Comanche owners and aficionados because in this forum, that's what unites us.
  4. Sweet rocker skids, thanks for making my MJ look less beat up!
  5. Ely is a cool place, make sure to visit the rail museum there, it's a really neat sight.
  6. or you could just use hose clamps to secure it to the sending unit assembly as shown in the picture and save some $$ for other things
  7. This is how I attached mine, same pump model, ordered from the same place.
  8. Ford - Fix Or Repair Daily
  9. Boat - Break Out Another Thousand
  10. Are you going full 35 spline or 40 spline on them axles?
  11. Roger that
  12. I'll keep my eyes open for that from now on, seems like loads of sensors need to be recovered as well, nothing like a new "collectable" to look out for!!
  13. What is this system exactly, do you have any photos? It does indeed seem to be a rare thing.
  14. Great job! These things require tenacity! To make sure I didn't run into the slippery hose issue again, I secured the pump to the bracket with hose clamps as shown below So far so good and trail tested!
  15. In my case I installed a new fuel pump and sending gauge assembly. After lots of diagnosis I ended up pulling the assembly and discovered the output hose between the fuel pump and the fuel line had slipped off. So what was happening to me was the pump was working but it was sending most of the fuel back into the tank. I know it's a PITA but you may want to pull out your sending gauge / fuel pump assembly to make sure everything is in place.
  16. FYI That's a rattle can paint job, definatly not factory
  17. A few months ago I was in the 89 (the right one) looking for misc. interior and dash parts, then I looked up and found my new headliner, cost with extra stuff was $20. Gotta love a good junk yard score! As for the 87 on the left, the 2.5L engine is in there, but most components have been stripped off of it. I might go back and pick up the front bumper but I don't really need it so it's still there (as of 4/23/2023) for someone else that does. Aside from these Comanches, they also have 4-6.5 (It's a junk yard so they have 1/2 cars ) Cherokees 89-98, also in various states of picked overness. There are a few yards near me, and I'm seeing fewer 80-90s Cherokees, let a lone Comanches so I feel fortunate to have this place so near (10 minutes away).
  18. This lives in some bushes in the junk yard known as "All about Auto Wrecking" in Snohomish, WA Very picked over, but has a gray bench seat in it, has a bed no tailgate, no taillights, 6-cylinder engine The Comanche on the right is this one, there are two in the yard.
  19. This lives in some bushes in the junk yard known as "All about Auto Wrecking" in Snohomish, WA Very picked over, but has a tan bench seat in it, has a bed no tailgate, no taillights, 4-cylinder engine. The Comanche on the left is this one, there are two in the yard.
  20. What about it?
  21. I sold a worse looking set for CJs a few years ago, them things is hard to come by so yea, its a supply demand thing and if you really want a set you either have to be a regular at a yard or pony up the duckets $$
  22. Ordered parts to replace timing chain and gears, rear main and oil pan gasket
  23. Those mount locations look like they are either in the heater box or close to it. How do your CBs function in there? I am also trying to decide where to put mine, seems like under the dash near the TCU bracket would be a good fit.
