This is the hose that's commonly available https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=9805924&cc=1181584&pt=6900&jsn=16342 With the ebay link and the rockauto link, both lines are now available. Yay.

Gonna drop this here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/126363936003

Woah there. Wow. That's pretty crazy!

According to this thread: The long bed GMC Sonoma / Chevy S10 Tonneau cover seems to dimensionally fit: I found the s10 bed dimensions on the s10 forum. The longbed S10 measures 88.31in, incredibly close to the 88in length of the comanche longbed. I checked more modern vehicles and it seems the 7ft bed sonoma / s10 is the only real option for the comanche longbed https://automotozine.com/truck-bed-dimensions-size-chart/ The specific Tonneau cover mentioned in that thread is the Access TonnoSport Tonneau Cover 22020159 This is a video showing the install of that tonnosport cover on a s-10. I don't know if the video shows a longbed or not:

Still searching for a tonneau cover for a longbed. I don't know of any. Hopefully I'll find one for a ford, chevy, toyota or nissan that's dimensionally compatible

Got some astro photos of the comanche. No stitching needed. Used light painting around the tail lights to illuminate the foreground. It became too cloudy to get a good front isometric view. Hopefully tonight will be clearer and I'll be able to get a better shot.

Excellent work! You even have the headrest bench seat! Super jealous!

I was today years old when I found out that some bench seats had head rests! Wow. The question remains, to swap or not to swap?

Or another MJ

For your application, I'd say it'll work a treat. The 4.0L and 2.5 are good engines, just avoid any Peugeot transmission. If you live in a non-dense area, It will suit your needs well. If you live in los angeles or NYC and want to use it as a DD, you sir are truly nuts. If I were to do it again, I'd find an '89+ 4x4 MJ from a southern state with low rust I think 89 was the year they moved away from duct-tape electrical crimps when the electrical harness was redesigned but I have not confirmed this. Keep in mind southern trucks may not have used glycol coolent, and used straight water instead. so your radiator will likely need replacement on a southern truck and the engine a good flush.

I'm a bit hesitant to use el cheapo store brand tires. I use 235/75R15's Firestone Destination AT/2's on mine, but I don't have a lot of miles on them yet. I purchased them new. My family has using the destination AT series on the astro for ~20years and have had good luck with them. I think we went through 2 or 3 sets in that time. They don't prematurely wear out, and the astro is a tank in the snow with AWD. That saying, mine are made in costa rica and the ones on my van were made in the states. Some folks have luck searching junk yards for newer vehicles with the right tire size and buying mostly new tires at a discount, but this only really works if you have a tire machine. Most places charge you per tire mounting/dismounting fees, balancing and stems. By the time you do that you don't really save any money vs buying new.

Awesome Work. Love the 0.0 litre badge

I'd grab an electronic flasher locally from advance or napa, like the Grote 44891, and see if it fixes the problem. I use that in my MJ and it helped with a weird issue I was having with my new led headlights and a very quiet yet new thermo-mechanical flasher.

Hahaha. Awesome!

Sometimes I gotta stretch the muscles and help the payloader get un-stuck Just kidding.

Heck yeah!

That door to panel alignment... I'm totally Jealous!

Nice! ZJ disc brake conversion sounds cool. I replaced my exhaust manifold and found my lower header was completely toast. I then later found out my muffler was making rattling noises aka the internal spot welds sheared off. Thankfully the cat was ok.

Was there a BSA Jeep comanche ad? Made mine in '10

I was going through my photos and found this. I think this was at this years or last years connecticut flywheel engine show: I would have grabbed it but the tools seemed cheese grade.

Woah nice view!

Excellent view! My power steering line started sweating, so I replaced both of them. Sure enough they had the yellow 10-10-87 AMC marking on them. That's one hell of a run. Glad the new lines exist. I got some sunsong ones they seemed fine.

Aww yeah, this is gonna be good. I wonder if the pizza rims are made in West Germany like the 10 spoke rims another CC member posted a while back. Nuts!

I heard the paint gets a good bake out there...

Wow, that looks excellent!
