Salvagedcircuit

Well, the cloned fenders work, but just as @ghetdjc320 mentioned, it took a bunch of modification to fit properly. The geometry does not line up well where it meets the cowl. My clone fender had too much material on the flange and needed to be sanded down. The sheet metal square bend toward the front clip does not sit flush with the original header and leaves a triangular gap. Also, a major goof on behalf of the clone fender maker: the original fender has 9 holes for the fender flare. Mine came with 8. Overall, I'd have to classify it as a junk clone part, but I had to make it work under the circumstances. I'll be keeping an eye out for a original driver fender whenever I repaint.

Wow, that pitting . Thanks for the photos!

I ended up using Armacell adhesive backed foam tape for the blend door. It adheres very well and even though I opted to install it on the blend door with the HVAC box in place, it worked well. It also has an anti-mirobial coating on it for what it's worth. It's nice because I was able to get it in 10 minutes and not have to wait a few days for the mail. It's about 1/8in thick. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Armacell-2-in-x-30-ft-R-1-Foam-Insulation-Tape-TAP18230/100539553

1986 longbed. And pizza wheels! You can't beat that kinda of deal! https://www.iaai.com/VehicleDetail/Imp_2697186~CA

Good call on using JIS. Unfortunately, the previous owner really wore out the original M4 bolts so they needed replacement.

Aww yeah. I still gotta repair my AC lol. Good luck with it.

Boo yeah, lookin good

Let me reach out to Kody and see if he has a beat up pair that I can measure off of.

If I ever find a set of these cheap, I'd love to clone em.

Awesome! I should print one, it would be nice for car shows. Here's my toy truck.

Thanks for the input guys! I went with a junk yard header panel from a 91-96 XJ and an aftermarket driver fender. My driver side fender ended up being an aftermarket already so no harm done. the driver fenders at the junk yard were all rusted out or had rust bubbling.

Close! It's an 88. My brother actually received it as a gift from a nearby farmer who needed help recovering some very stuck tractors from his property. It was the worst of the bunch, but he restored it to be the best of the bunch. It's a thing of beauty, joy forever.

Really? Wow! That's incredible.

That's not a bad idea. I'll reach out to the guy and see if he's ok with that. Otherwise, if anyone's up for the task let me know!

You chose the correct shade of green . Here's my brother's Oliver after he restored it. It is a great hunk of machinery.

Got ya. Is there a W/R" Wired Remote port, you may be able to cobble some kind of button / knob together. Looks great otherwise!

I have no idea if this is in the right section or if this is ok to post, but I'm looking for someone to ship an MJ Bumper from Summerville, South Carolina to Longisland, NY. There is a guy in Summerville SC who has a 3rd party Hurcules utility bumper for sale that is the identical one that's on my truck. It is built nicer than the fey westin ones. He does not want to ship it. I have a quote from UPS on a package 65x6x19, 75lbs for $71.50 from 301 N Gum St Summerville SC 29483 (a nearby post office used for reference) to my location in Huntington, NY 11743. This is large and very unlikely to break. I don't mind if it gets scratched. I am looking for someone who can for wrap the bumper in plastic wrap, tape on a UPS label and drop it off at a UPS access point / UPS store. I will gladly pay you for your time, the plastic wrap and the cost of fuel it takes to bring it to a nearby UPS store. I can send paypal. Not trying to scam anyone, just trying to make my comanche whole again and car show ready. Thanks a ton guys!

Nice! I think you have to re-coat the headlight lenses with something (probably a UV protecting spray) or they become translucent again in short notice. Not sure exactly what agent to use though.

Woah, thats quite the bucket list! How do you like the head unit? Thanks.

Huh. I guess if you wanted to get creative and heatgun the side of a 2.5L coolant bottle, it might work. Just gingerly heat the plastic enough that it deforms but does not melt through. You may lose capacity, but if it fits, it ships

Cool. I sent some to @coheed To get an idea on part fitment. I need to camp out at my local microcenter and see what color closely matches blue then stock up close colors. I've got gray interior parts and I'm going to try and match the major colors.

Nice

Hell yeah! That's an excellent adapter you made. This scissor jack is properly chunky where it counts. It sure comes in handy!

Aww yeah, the update of all updates. Always cool to read these man. Good luck with it!

Yeah! I saw this, its looking good. Hopefully we get some actual reviews and crutchfield caries it.
