  1. You have to go with Marchals when you have an ‘87 and such a nice OEM bar. They come in black and chrome. These are 850’s on the bar and 750’s on the grill guard.
  2. On eBay in Auburn, NY
  3. The export ones actually have a black border on top that shows when installed.
  4. Boooooo!
  5. Send back the alternator and get a replacement.
  6. Not too difficult. I welded a washer to the top of the upper strap support pin to keep the cable end in place and cut off the strap where it attaches to the tailgate bracket then cut that head flush, drilled it for a nutsert (through the tailgate also for clearance) to attach the lower cable end. The bumpers need to be removed so the strut will fit. I will probably replace the other strap with cable, much quieter.
  7. Installed a tailgate strut. This was a test fitting before I add one to the MJ Happy Camper. I’ll post in the DYI section when I install the one on the trailer.
  8. Is that a Comanche? never mind, Cherokee just saw the rear door.
  9. I finished the drawer a week ago but just now had time to open up the WilderNest for pictures. The carcass is approximately 81” long, 25” wide and 16” high, the drawer is 75” long, 15 1/2” wide and 13” high; I made it large enough to hold three of our camping storage boxes with space to spare. The drawer slides on 3/16” thick UHMWPE strips to maximize space. The top, left side, drawer front and rear are 1 1/8” plywood the rest is 3/4” ply assembled with pocket screws (about 200 of them!!) and glue. Everything was given three coats of exterior paint (color matched to the paint I used for the shell interior) to minimize mold/mildew, the top and left side were then covered with tan vinyl diamond plate and edged with stainless steel corner guard since it also serves as the step to the sleeping platform. It’s bolted to the bed using stainless bolts from underneath into t-nuts in the base. The space on the right with the wheel well is perfect for storing the long support poles and stabilizing legs while the space on the left still accommodates the large boxes which were initially intended for the FJ Cruiser’s roof rack, they will even stack with the Nest closed. It was a fun little project.
  10. Too late for that! I think it happened the day I picked up the Comansion.
  11. We have running water!!!
  12. Is this one of the new metal body sensors with 4 wires coming out into three at the connector? I’ve had nothing but problems with those from 3 or 4 “manufacturers”, try to find a NOS Jeep one with the ceramic body. And yes, resistance between A&B should be 5-7 ohms.
  13. The latch should be glued to the sliding portion and it should latch onto the left bar, there is no other bracket. And the sliding portion does not have any sort of frame as in your pictures.
  14. On eBay in Hillsborough, NJ $1500 starting no reserve.
  15. When you get them please post a picture with them next to each other and their numerical codes. Thanks
  16. Everyone sells carpets made by ACC so you probably won’t find any other colors. I know they will send headliner samples, contact them for carpet samples.
  17. June 2023 update, see first post. 17 new additions this month for a total of 2158.
  18. Now you made it easy!
  19. WOW! Now it’s a deal!!!
  20. The paint codes say this is sterling metallic??? Doubt it has been repainted since the engine bay is body color and looks aged also seemed odd to have a tan interior with a silver exterior.
  21. Is the build date 8/1/85?
