Hanson Offroad Comanche Rear Bumper
Smash6 replied to Kedosp's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
That's a beautiful bumper. I can't wait to see it mounted. As for the wait time - I have Hanson bumpers on my LJ and they are very, very well made - I'd happily wait for their products. -
Sweet rig!

The headliner is the last part of the interior puzzle. It’ll get there. In the meantime, the Comanche left the garage for the first time in 6 months. It ran like a dream and the best part, it doesn’t smell like old cigarettes anymore. My son was beaming. -

I managed to epoxy the cable sheath back into the retaining clip on the HVAC head unit which allowed me to get most of the dash back together. I need to sand and repaint the lower dash piece, then the dash will be pretty complete. -

I managed to epoxy the cable sheath back into the HVAC retainer clip. I’m hoping it’ll hold. So far, it’s working well. -

I found this cable which looks very familiar to the Comanche cable. https://www.dixierestorationdepot.com/product/Detail.aspx?s=DM00062&srsltid=AfmBOoq5QFKxfuZzZ6RO1p2_80jJECdVAr7MwKfPlP1XPfCztDr7f-yC -

More interior bits are in. Today’s big problem is that the blend door cable sheathing has separated from the plastic bit on the HVAC control rendering the cable inop. I did find this one and am wondering if it’s the same cable… https://www.dixierestorationdepot.com/product/Detail.aspx?s=DM00062&srsltid=AfmBOoq5QFKxfuZzZ6RO1p2_80jJECdVAr7MwKfPlP1XPfCztDr7f-yC Today’s big win was getting the Raybuck seat cover on. We added 1” high density foam as well as some foam in some high use ruined spots (under the driver’s @$$) to revive the seat cushion. It looks great. -

So my outer cable sheath came apart and I can’t get the cable to work properly now. My cable is solid core. I'm trying to find somewhere to purchase a new one. -

A lot of wire chasing and the new stereo works as it should. A PO hacked the old harness way back in the dash. It’s sorted now. -
Soak it in PB Blaster. Give it a day and soak it again. Use a wire brush and clean that nut and stud up. Then see how the nut looks. It looks like you have a vinyl floor, so be careful with using heat. Using the wax trick (google it) may work out for you and doesn't require as much heat as turning it red hot with a torch. Good luck!

The courtesy lights now work as they should. 6.5” speakers in the rear using heavily modified boxy Jeep adapters. The Raybuck seat cover and foam has arrived and I’ll get that together soon. Progress is slow, but it’s progress!
