Salvagedcircuit

This is a pretty straight forward design. I like it. I'll fabricate something up. I'm hoping the j-bolt slots are still there in the bed frame.

Hmm. My spare tire holder works great, but I wonder if it's worthwhile to have a safety strap of some kind so I don't end up with a torn cable or failed crimp.

Hahaha. At least most of the parts are not crazy expensive and don't require custom tools or triple-square adapters! I do love the mixture of torx, metric and standard sprinkled all over the vehicle though

I have been noticing a steady stream of "newly announced" fake pickups on youtube lately. unreleased photoshoped pickups with computer generated voice actors and synthetically produced youtube pages. It's kinda wild. I am rather surprised the auto companies have not started suing youtube for trademark theft / abuse. I guess it's too much of a game of wack-a-mole?

Absolutely! I ended up cutting out all the wirenuts and hand-twisted wires in my wiring harness from the PO then soldered up the joints and covered with adhesive lined heatshrink.

I believe the end part is crimped on. I Don't think it's a disassemblable component. You could probably get away with any stamped piece of metal for the tire holder part, but I do not know how to reliably crimp onto a stainless cable.

Very Cool! They look like Baja 1000 race vehicles.

Oh boy, the Craftsman V-series, front and center Handed down twice, they may outlast me. A true american tool.

I found plenty of taped over wire nuts in my engine bay too. A quick but terrible long term fix.

You chose wisely Besides the sharp edges on the TYC fan, the runout is noticeable. I am curious about the runout on the TYC fan vs the original mopar one. If I ever run across a mopar fan, I'll try and compare the two of them with a dial indicator.

Excuse me sir, I'll have to label this post as NSFW! Not Safe For Wallet

Lots of folks recommend the TYC 620560 10 blade fan. Since it's for a 97+ it has a different connector. You will need to adopt it to the comanche wiring harness. The fan is nice, but you will notice that it has sharp plastic edges everywhere, like it's being produced in an worn out mold. The fan works great, I just deburr the edges with a deburring tool so I don't cut my hand open installing and uninstalling the fan into the future. I use a carbide deburring tool, but since it's plastic, a utility knife would do the job.

They are getting a bit harder to find, and with the prices on ebay, I just opted to not bother looking anymore. The wheels roll fine without em Good luck.

Big time Score! The mudflaps are hella rare

Yesssssss I've always been a fan of the column shift. Maybe its because my folks astro was a column shift and I just got used to it?

Hell yeah! Sounds like a great adventure.

Awesome story! The truck looks excellent! Trucks doing truck things. Same here! Before year 2020, I had no idea there was a truck version of the cherokee XJ - and my dad was an original owner of an '89 XJ! I purchased my comanche, then my dad pulled out his original '88 brochure. Sure enough, there it was. Crazy!

Wait, is there a cruiser54 equivalent page for HO's? Which documents?

Holy Moly! You can eat off that! Dangggg

When one sells, two more show up When I finally got mine mostly sorted, a '91 shortbed in decent shape with minimal rust shows up in NJ for $4500. Still kicking myself for not grabbing the shortbed to match my '88 longbed.

This is the way!

Hahaha JK. Take your time and take a bunch of photos from all angles for your own personal reference.

Hot dang! That's a score. New Hampshire shines again. Going to northern NH is truly a time capsule. Just 2-3 years ago you could still get parallel port printer cables at computer stores near Franconia. The Staples up in Littleton carried a year 2003 ATI radeon 9200se graphics card until about 2017.

Mmm, I smell full dimension 6x6's

Some say you can hear him roar when a strong breeze comes. Others say he's the low rpm growl of a 4.0L at idle But we all know him as.... @Pete M Speaking of that, Pete if you need funding for upcoming website registration or hosting space, let us know!
