Comanche Aficionado (4/11)

  1. That's about what I was thinking. Best to cut my teeth on something invisible. Appreciate the feedback, folks!
  2. So should I do the rockers first or floor pans first? I get the heat concerns but I'm always trying to figure out what sequence would make the best sense too...
  3. I have a set of Jeep Cables on my 1993 ZJ and by far I prefer them! In my '89 MJ, I decided to try out the K Suspension cables, but I don't think the kit is as good as the Jeep Cables one. And definitely invest in a good set of headlight harnesses. Behind some IPF/ARB 820s or some Koito H4s, those things GLOW!!!
  4. I never left, but I had so much stuff going on that I had to effectively put the Pioneer on the back burner. Now I have my eyes set on it again. So to recap- I have to weld on new floor panels, inner and outer rockers, cab corners, and the cab supports. I already have the two floors cut out, but what being that the MJ is a unibody, I wonder what order I should go in putting these parts on? Basically, I wish to avoid stressing the frame or letting it stand without sufficient support, whatnot... Thanks!
  5. So, I've run into this sort of thing before, but in reverse. My 1984 Bronco II was originally a light metallic blue that was never offered in the Bronco II. It was however offered only on the 1983 Ranger, and so my truck was built using leftover paint, apparently. On the flip side, which would be your case, I wonder if that color you are seeing was used on a different Chrysler product at the time and sit he truck was bucked to use such color.
  6. I think I do recall my Murray stating it was a Motorad as well. I wasn't paying much attention to that for it was the only T-stat I had. It was third time I've broken down in front of O-O-O-O Reilllllllyyyyyyyy!!!! Auto Curse! And it was the only one they had in stock. Kinda regretting using the rotozip to cut open the shroud for better access though. No matter what I do, the fan eventually starts to hit it.
  7. Hanging around the Mercury Cougar forum, I stumbled upon Plasma LEDs that people swear by. I haven't put any in mine yet, but I know somebody that has installed PLEDs in the reverse lights on his XJ, and boy oh boy. Also, Off-Grid Research offers an LED turn signal flasher relay. I have one in my MJ, works well.
  8. Well when I first replaced my T-stat 5 years ago in my ZJ 4.0, I put in a Motorad. It ran fine. Had a problem with overheating again last year, I put in a Murray this time. FWIW, I haven't heard anything bad about Motorad or Stant, at least not in any of my Jeeps.
  9. If you can get a plastic tank, I'd recommend it to a good rust. Trust me when I say we went to Exxon and Basel polymers for good reason. I used to work in that same industry and I personally oversaw thousand of destructive tests on fuel tanks, the plastic ones hold up to a lot of abuse.
  10. Can confirm, I've driven other vehicles that have had the double sun visor. But I can't be 100% certain which ones they were. I feel one of them was the Navigator.
  11. Mine would have to be the 'JeeP' logo that was usually seen before the 1970's, and on the tailgate of the J-Series.
  12. Ever have a ride where from the factory it just did something differently that you either liked it or didn't like it? Or maybe over time, your ride matures and maybe develops its own unique feature? Today I learned my '84 BII never had a steering wheel button-- you push in the hi/lo beam stalk! I thought that was done away with in the 1970's! My 2003 Land Rover Discovery 2 has front AND rear fog lights. I actually rather like that idea. My '93 ZJ has what I call an "option"- automatic license plate removal. Yeah! If you close one of the rear doors or the trunk a little too hard, the license plate panel pops out of the trunk. Real handy when you get the new plates in, I'll tell you. Been meaning to delete that one for a while. My MJ actually doesn't have any unusual features, factory or not, that I can think of. It's about the only thing Known that's all pretty standard feature-wise. I'd like to hear yours if you have any.
  13. You what's really f***ing scary to me is that now only did that hollowed out shell of an MJ follow you home, I'm willing to bet that it KEPT UP with you the whole time! That's some Christine level BS right there! 🤣
