Glad she is OK. There are lots of Durango's out there, but unless your very lucky you only get one Mom.

Well I could have been one of the "named" prospective buyers by one of our other members, but I did eventually get back to him and was glad he was understanding. I was raised "better", but man life has a way of making it rough sometimes. I agree that the acceptable behavior in online transactions has gone the wrong way given the My experience, having bought five used vehicles over the last three years along with other misc. items from people of all walks of life has all been very positive. I know many others have not been so lucky and I know I've fallen down a bit on this lately myself. I try to reserve judgement, since I don't know the anonymous person on the other end of the transactions circumstances.

Thanks. @hassyfoto what brand did you use? That is an awesome Comanche. Yes. 84-90 are different than 91-96 XJ). Side marker lights did not change dimensions but the bezels are different.

Has anyone had good luck with a reproduction headlight bezel? The aftermarket one's I have looked at online seem to get bad reviews. This is going on a 1991 MJ so I'm interested in the 91-96 bezel, but if you have an earlier one you bought and like I'd really appreciate knowing what manufacturer is getting these right. Thanks!

Looks ok but price is a little high IMHO https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/d/apple-valley-1992-jeep-comanche/7395121043.html

Well except for the vacuum we have done all of that. We've checked for leaks but not as thorough as that method - will need to give it a try.

Any luck getting it to pass? I'm having the same problem with my '91 - high NO. We had a bad vacuum leak (bent injector rail) but that is fixed along with a bunch of other clean up to vacuum lines and grounds. I can't even remember what we have done at this point. With everything we have done to it to try and pass it runs amazing, especially after we just installed 4 hole injectors these week and taking in in.

Awesome - congratulations!

When you work at a placed where they care about people, this stuff is in addition to pay increases that are based on performance with some market constraints, but at a minimum a cost of living increase. Really sucks that you were doing great work in a very important and meaningful job and that happens. Sure glad you have found someplace without the stress and quite the cool factor - congrats.

So just my wife and I have four ranging from 1988 to 2003 - average is 26 yrs. Add in others I own but kids drive - 8 total and includes the a 2011 Outback and we average 23 yrs old.

If all you want is a double din radio, I've seen a members here do that.

https://modesto.craigslist.org/cto/d/riverbank-1991-jeep-comanche/7374172050.html I just don't see the 91's or 92's listed very often

MetalCloak responded to me - they said the 3.5" springs will lift a stock TJ 4.5" and a bone stock XJ/MJ 3.5" and the worst they see is 3" on a pretty heavy one.

I've never done it but I've been researching a conversion from a manual to automatic (talk about getting flamed - will for sure if I do it). There was a good thread about differences between years that might be useful. https://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1053970 I think they are saying a 92 will bolt in to the 88 as long as you also take the 92 transfer case, which you are.

Thanks Pete. I'm thinking once I decide on the front I'll need to go with shackles, aal or both depending on how it sits. I noticed Metalcloak has a duel rate 3.5" they say is for the TJ/LJ/XJ. I thought that a TJ spring installed in an XJ or MJ would lower it an inch so maybe these would only be a 2.5" lift? My online searches of the forums did not help as most people were doing more that just the springs and were not reporting back actual lift the springs provided. I've got an email into Metalcloak to see if they might have a clue. Also I've seen some folks running stock XJ up-country springs for a bit of a lift, but I'm not sure how well a JY pair of springs with 200k on them would work.

The factory springs are worn out and I'm considering lifting my 91. It is a 4x4 but it is a street truck/daily driver that will only see very light off road use and I like the look of the MJ with a little lift on them. I currently run 235's and will probably end up with 30's or 31's down the road. For me, the main priority is ride quality, so I'm thinking of keeping it at 1.5" to 2". For the front I'm thinking OME 1.5", only because I have an XJ with them and they ride great. Pucks alone are not an option (springs need to be replace). I don't have any idea on what to do with the rear. I also have not a clue on shocks, but I know the 5100 Bilstein's I have on my Suburban are way to stiff. I'd love to hear from anyone who has a small lift. Any suggestions?

Awesome - have a great time!

Awesome - congrats!

I thought I had a problem with my check valve on my '91 but it turned out to be the small o-ring on the pressure regulator

And that police speedo looks awesome ghetdjc320. I completely understand wanting the full blue in your 91 acfortier. I bought an 86 brand new in 86 with a V-6 that everyone says is gutless. It was, but it had plenty of low end torque, especially with the metric ton/tow package with the 4:10s and 5 speed. I was 18 and, my life circumstances changed drastically over the next couple years plus an accident meant I could not afford the payment plus the insurance. Hard lesson, but it was a good time to learn it. It had the full cluster in the 86 and I do prefer the blue but I think I'm going to keep my 91 as original as possible. I would change the '88 if the chance came around, but there are just too many other need to do's before I would focus much time on it. I think I've seen someone (somewhere in the interwebs) print the backgrounds. I think they were completely changing background colors and designs for XJ's - not sure but you might be able to reproduce the blue one.

Thanks guys. I guess red full cluster in the 91 is period correct then for a full cluster.

I have a 91 with the full cluster the PO swapped in from an XJ. I know the Renix MJ clusters have blue instead of red - did they also have blue when they switched to OBD1 HO's in 91? I just saw a low mileage barn find 91 for sale on Craigslist (russel730's find) and it has the red. Anyone with an HO and original gauge clusters?

Clean 1990 with 85k and loaded for an MJ asking $11k. https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/d/riverside-jeep-comanche-u-4x4/7363366998.html

I wonder if the heat applied foil used in crafting might work using a heat gun instead of an iron?
