Spinnakerblue89

I own a 1988 Ranger with the black plastic mirrors. I can't imagine they look great on an MJ...

Is that similar to the red grease usually used in industrial applications?

Before this goes further, I may suggest that you post information on the fog lights on question. Manufacturer, model, anything you can tell us, really. Do they have a manual? Some sort of schematic by chance?

Amen

Everyone that I know who has ever been a mechanic or body guy has insisted that white lithium grease is the way to go. +1 WLG Anecdotally, it fixed the squeaky doors on both my ZJ and my Ranger.

I figured a Cherokee may need to suffice.

Damn man, I appreciate the tidbits. I'll be sure to order the book. Hey on a related note, while I'm at it... Cab forward from the door, just before the wheel arch, the rust and rot continue on the bottom. This extends beyond the reaches of both inner and outer rockers. Is that going to be a case of DIY body repair or can those be replaced also? I don't recall seeing anything but rear panels for the truck bed.

Will all of this information apply to my '89? Or should I spring for the $79 four volume '89 manual?

Ah! But first I need to find me a shop manual. I do have spot weld drill bits. I knew better than to pass up on those when I bought this.

I might add that there are a number of "tutorial" vids on YouTube. I used quotations because there are different ways of going about this. Basically, if you look for Jeep XJ frame repair, you can apply what you see to the Comanche. It's actually quite a simple looking process and I have a few spots near the rear of my truck that I will be making small repairs on, myself.

It certainly seems like it could be. I have to get more cutting wheels, I'm down to my last one. (I've been repairing an old Ranger simultaneous to this truck).

I pretty much figure it'll be bit by but until I have the configuration that I want.

Has anyone here had any experience replacing the INNER rocker panels? Mine are completely rotted out and I purchased a set from BSP along with outer rockers. What's the best way to go about this? I don't want to just get to hacking it out without checking in on here. Attached is a photo of what it looks like on the interior. Thanks.

Had a toad for a long time. I suppose that's somewhat unusual, most people go for the frogs. His name was Flip. I had a barn cat that stuck around until recently. I actually am not a cat person at all, but she caught the field mice. Yeah, yeah, I know it's not an unusual pet, but the name sure is. I named her Slim Jim.

Back in I think April or May, I purchased one of their LED blinker thingamajigs that plugs into the fuse box. I got it in fairly good time, for what it's worth.

And what supporting mods might those be? I imagine a better exhaust system form the headers down matter a lot.

I have the unit sold by OGR, it's been working very well and I am pleased.

I think OC Auto Carpets had some of these, and Team Cherokee may.

For the better!

Well it's been a while, yay failing AC units and plumbing upgrades! (for the house) It looks like I'll need to replace the inner rocker panels and outer rocker panels also. Cab corners and I think even the dog legs may need replaced too.

Darn you Key Parts for making money off of people like me!

This... This is BULLY!!!!

I seem to recall my speedo cable being of a similar length. I did have a plastic connector, as well. However, I do not have 4wd, so I'm not so sure my situation is very applicable. I wish I knew more.

Do you have cruise control or no?

Coming from the industry that produced gas tanks, I can speak fairly confidently that even today with ever-encroaching regulations and changes, ROV's, ICV's, and even modules almost never change. Seals are generally the same too across generations. As to this observation, I would be inclined to agree not having looked into the matter unless the gas tank itself has changed. It's simply not worth it to change the design of a tank just for a different deal. But as always, and I'm sure you know this, make good and sure that the seal has no debris, not even the smallest hair, because you will get an air leak. Many thanks for this information, I'm sure more people will find this useful.
