The Comanche does not currently have power steering but might look into it at a later date again. Guess those plugs will have to be loose for a while. Took it out for a spin today and she runs well but with a couple issues. The exhaust was rusted off at a bend so it sounds like a tractor. I do have a welder at home to fix this. Brakes are practically non existent. If I push the peddle in I got a little bit of braking from the front left corner and if it’s in all the way the rears wanna lock up. Never done a brake bleed but the info I have found looks pretty straightforward. Any tips and info appreciated

eaglescout526 is on 🔥. Based of that info I probably won’t be doing anything with the plugs. Doesn’t look like it have any options in the cab as far as power steering pressure gauge, cruise control switch and washer fluid gauge. It’s a manual so the rules out the auto plug. Please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. Are there any caps for these plugs out there? Caps would make it look much cleaner imo

There are actually 2 plugs in questions on the pic with the auto trans and plug.

I’ve got a few more pics I’d like to share. There are a few plugs that are loose and was hoping someone could shed some light. Haven’t looked into what these plugs do yet.

Also I have screen shot a few engine bays as reference. Feel free to send yours aswell. Would probably use it often

Thanks again eaglescout526. I quickly did a search of what this charcoal canister is and it makes perfect sense. Also took a closer look at the tube and looks like it’s got a cut right where it would have slipped on. Would the fact that’s it’s not currently tied into the air box affect a safety check? I’m debating on just mounting it to the cone intake as it is now

So I might have found a guy with all the parts I need for the conversion. They might be here on the forum somewhere. Anyways for now I’m working on the valve cover replacement. If you look at the engine bay pic you’ll notice someone modified the filler cap and put a breather cone on. I’d like to return this to the original setup or as close as possible. Upone further inspection I have found a tub zip ties to the rear of the engine bay. Pics are posted along. Was that supposed to be some kind of valve cover breather tube? Any info and tips would be helpful.

Also if you know of any threads for the 2.5l 2wd- 4x4 conversions that might help send the links

Might be a dumb question but how do I figure out specifically what kind of transmission I currently have? After browsing online looks like most people are recommending an ax5-15 for the 4x4 conversion

Thank you eaglescout526!!!

2.5 litre 5 speed 2wd not currently safetied but want to have it done for a daily driver. Wanting to do a 4x4 swap. cold air intake Aftermarket temp gauge oil pressure gauge. rpm gauge 200k km Known issues brakes don't work breather falls off rust in rockers, cab corners, box sides, and front fenders Exhaust is there but needs to be re attached at rusted off point leaks rain in the cab from as of now unknown issues passenger door handle button is gone so you can only open it from the inside. Passenger door window crank doesn’t work either. Driver side grinds runs and drives great.I Will definitely be driving this one for a long time. Will also restore bit by bit. I can do everything myself aswell. Gonna be a fun project. my goal is to keep the 2.5l manual and get the 4x4 swap for winter reasons. Let me know any ideas and money saving tricks you got.
