  2. Congratulations! Very nice build, great looking truck.
  3. My BIG TON sticker measures 4-3/16" X 1-3/16", measured from outside to outside of the red border. I snapped a couple photos. Hope it helps!

  7. Wow! once in a lifetime find. I like the ask for forgiveness story. I would have done the same. I vote mopar V8. 💪
  8. Great looking wheels and center caps. Love that grabber blue, nice looking truck!
  9. Here is a method that I have not tried it yet.
  10. Excellent work, great color choice. Enjoy following this build, thanks to the Facebook/Instagram guys for talking you into posting your build here.
  11. Yes! You are on the track.
  12. I bought the rod clips from a local automotive paint and body supply shop. Picked them from an assortment drawer .80 each.
  13. Done. DIY Projects and Write ups. "Refreshing Door Latches".
  14. I recently removed the door latches from my 1991 Comanche. Both sides were gummed up with dirty dried out grease, or what ever lube was used on them. Once removed, a hot high pressure washer was used to clean the latches, then the latches we're soaked over night in ATF fluid. The brittle plastic rod clips were also replaced. Latches are working like new again.
  15. The PO used rivited nut inserts without inside backing plates to install. I think they just picked a spot on the door, without reason. The mirrors did not match the body lines and were presumably always loose, causing door panel damage. I will be replacing them with 1996 XJ non break away mirrors.
  16. Continuing to work on body panels, it has been a long process. Still have much more to do. Removed the door latches, both latches we're gummed up with dirty dried grease, or what ever lube was used on them. I power washed and soaked them in ATF fluid. Replaced the brittle plastic rod clips. Latches are working like new again.
  17. I was planning the heat method for my window trim. I am thinking the gasket removal will be a much easier method. Thanks for the great tip!
  18. Ok. Thanks for the information on those Wrangler Radials.
  19. The wheels, tires and center caps are a very nice look on your comanche. Good job! refurbishing those wheels. You have inspired me to do the same on my build. What tire size did you go with?
