which would you repalce first?
Salvagedcircuit replied to Pete M's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I'll take all of the above, Regis I got one of those Uvex S8510 full face shields recently, and boy does it make my eyes a lot happier when I'm up and about under the comanche. Good luck with it. -
Yep, I have an 88 reinx. The $100 baffle style header is unfortunately incompatible with the reinx 4.0L engine without modifications (change exhaust header pipe, fix header / intake clearance issues). I really really don't want to buy the stock reinx manifold since it seems to be the most prone to failure, but there are not too many options. Sure, the banks and pacesetter are ~$500 each, but I'd still have to do essentially the same procedure for 5x the cost :/ I get it. It's one of the reasons why I waited so long until I found a rust-free cab corner comanche on the east coast. I just don't understand why NY does not give a hoot. NY is one of the nanny states, but for some reason they do not care at all if your floor is falling out of your vehicle.

91 2.5L No Title in Central FL
Salvagedcircuit replied to BizarroStormy's topic in Craigslist/eBay... i.e. Not Your Stuff
Ugggh. You guys are killin me here. In some states you don't even need a title if it's more than 25years (new hampshire). That's $500 well spent. dang. Maybe I should make an excuse to go south for vacation. I've had enough days in the 20s lol -
I did the radio blank as a precaution. Yeah, I get it. it makes sense. It's just a pain. Believe it or not, inspections are a joke in NY but they are a bear in NH. If you have a spec of rust on your cab corners, you'll fail in NH. You can drive a clapped out mazda / nissan / chevy s10 with a wooden bed and it'll pass Here's a photo I took in lake placid, NY. It obscures his plate cause at this point its a road icon. My Comanche Failures: 1 of the 2 license plate lights were out. I didn't think it would be a big deal. Driver side blinker failed on me during inspection but worked fine before the trip. The column shift prnd321 red marker line was skipping. Again, I did not know this was a concern. Most of all, an exhaust leak. Exhaust header was unfortunately cracked. Bummer Frankly, I was waiting for the valvoline inspection guy to give me an "I'm all alone hereee"
-
Oh man. This explains a lot. I wondered why there were randomly exposed wires in the doors. I also needed a radio blank to pass inspection. Inspection people are nosy enough. Yogurt container saved the day. Didn't pass inspection tho for other reasons

1988 Comanche Pioneer build
Salvagedcircuit replied to SCJ Steve's topic in Member Projects: Your Comanches
Neat! Curious, where did you find the gladiator bumper? Junkyard? Ebay? Curious how well a trailer hitch would clear. Maybe I should find out Thanks! -
I also have one of those "unknown" lift kits on my comanche. If there is anyway you can share what measurements you found that were stock, that would be awesome. Many thanks from my wack job setup

oldschool XJ taillght protectors
Salvagedcircuit replied to Pete M's topic in Craigslist/eBay... i.e. Not Your Stuff
Hubba Hubba Hubba. Those are all metal right? -
Do what it takes to get that comanche on the road brotha My only input is folks tend to not like polyurethane bushings on a daily vehicle because extra stiffness + noise != comfort or convenience. Good luck!

some one should rescue this

February 2023-The Comanche by the Sea
Salvagedcircuit replied to 89 MJ's topic in Comanche of the Month (MJOTM)
Well deserved! I'm usually not one for additional graphics, but I do like the way the 4x4 decals came out. Very period correct. That and the roll bar . Niceee -

For the love of... Someone please grab this. What a steal. Hell, I paid $210 for 5 poor condition turbine wheels and another $700 for new firestones. -
86 era cluster circuit board
Salvagedcircuit replied to Pete M's topic in Craigslist/eBay... i.e. Not Your Stuff
Huh. Pretty neat. It's more of a copper cutout than a circuitboard lol. It reminds me of the days when circuit boards were laid out with Bishop tape and light projectors. It would be neat to take a scan of the entire layout and import it into a PCB editor such as KiCAD. Then people could do interesting things like make a modern day circuit board behind the gauge cluster with SMT LEDs and various other components. Dang it Pete, stop giving me projects -
SRT Comanche build
Salvagedcircuit replied to ghinmi's topic in MJ Hardcore Tech: Epic Journeys to Greatness
I will say it again, you sir are the right kind of crazy! Loving the work you did on that intake. Dang my friend. -
Very true! However, both my 3 jaw and 4 jaw backplates on the chucks have a few thou of runout on them. This is an unfortunate consequence of inheriting a retired school lathe. I am not complaining though, it has been invaluable over the past few years. If anyone's interested, I completed my writeup on the Mamiya RB67 repair process here: https://www.salvagedcircuitry.com/mamiya-rb67-repair.html Thanks.

If it's a proper rear disc conversion, the parts alone are $600-800. Definitely a project though. Dang. -
I bet that stud weld pulling bodywork technique will wonders to pull those body panels back into shape. Something like this: Otherwise, excellent, excellent score.

Project Eliminated
Salvagedcircuit replied to majastee508's topic in Member Projects: Your Comanches
Excellent work! -
Nice! That is a good use. I plan on using it to resolve writers block when documenting my projects and making concise summaries. Works great for that.
-
Excellent, excellent work. I am going to copy that center console exactly on mine, but obviously match the honey gold interior. Awesome job!
-
Hahaha, Nice. I find it is useful if you need to rewrite a paragraph, condense a paragraph or find an alternate way to say something. For doing research, It will become more useful once they give it the ability to fully scrape web pages. It can kind of grab information, but sometimes it completely makes things up. I was looking for server grade ssds for my desktop with power loss protection so I asked and received a list of 8 items, and one was a completely non-existant intel ssd. Lol.

Motor mount identification
Salvagedcircuit replied to PhilisDiller's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Excellent information. Thanks a ton! I'll grab a part of these, They at least seem to be still available and for a lot more reasonable amount. -
