VIN Registry List: July 2026 Update
fiatslug87 replied to fiatslug87's topic in Comanche Registry (VIN decoding)
June 2025 update, see first post. 6 new additions this month for a total of 2400. -
Change of plan, instead of carrying the awning on the FJ I decided to keep it on the trailer. It only weighs 43lbs but it’s long and takes a little back and forth to get it into position on the FJ. All I had to do was attach a modified dual hitch extender to the hitch end plate (using existing holes ) and use the supports that are used for the front with a few modifications. Now it’s very easy to load/unload, we’ll see how stable it is and modify from there.

Dash Connector ID Please
fiatslug87 replied to AnotherOldJeepGuy's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Wiring is there for the cargo light (up to 1990??) look for a pink wire up high behind the driver side rear panel. Fog light wiring is there up to the 10 pin connector in front of the air box but you need a different headlight harness with the fog light wiring and relay. -

There should be two of the large flat one, one is for the fog light switch, the other for the cargo light switch. The little round one takes a bulb that illuminates the fog/cargo symbol on the switch plate, should also be two of them. -

Technically it is of legal width for road use, limit is 102” and it is 101.5” but I wouldn’t be comfortable.

You probably have to do this through the classic car insurance companies, Hagerty, Grundy, etc. but they have limitations on usage and storage.

One thing missing from our setup is shade over the cooking area so I got an ARB 8’ x 8’ awning. To mount it I attached 1 1/2” zinc plated perforated tubing to both sides of the bed front (spaced out with some flat bar to clear the bed lip) that 1 1/4” perforated tubing will slide into. Slots had to be cut in the backs of the 1 1/4” tubing to clear the bolt heads holding the 1 1/2” tubing, nutserts were added for threaded knobs to keep things in place, height adjustment and storage. At the top of the 1 1/4” tubing I attached Ironman 4x4 awing quick connects to make installing/ removing of the awning easy. The plan is to carry the awning on the FJ Cruiser’s roof rack and assemble at the campsite. The propane box had to be moved forward about 1 1/4” so the opened lid could clear the 1 1/2” tubing which then required a hitch extension for the FJ Cruiser’s rear door to fully open without hitting the box. I used my 20 ton press with a 2” ballbearing to pinch the extender and hitch together at the hitch pin hole so it wouldn’t rattle.
