Yeah we'll see. I like the look of this form though!

Alright, I can't believe this hasn't come up yet so I'll make a post. Sounds like Jeep is working on an SRT (V8?) two door pickup with IFS. And they're calling it the Scrambler. I'm dying to see what the renderings look like. Rear facing seats? Sounds really cool! What are your guys' thoughts? https://www.thedrive.com/news/jeep-is-building-a-wrangler-scrambler-srt-with-removable-roof-backward-facing-rear-seats-and-probably-a-v8

Ah, I was hoping you were asking for the seat belt buttons. I have those, but not the little A pillar ones. I did add it to my list of stuff to grab next time I'm at the junkyard though.

Great to hear! Thanks for the positive feedback

Added a bunch more parts and deleted sold stuff. I'm sticking with the trend of $10 each (or $20 for a pair? ). Please take this stuff off my hands!

Almost the same options as my truck, and not too far away. Sweet!

Shoot... sorry. I don't think I have any of those parts. But I will keep an eye out next time I go to the yard.

Shoot my bad hahah! It's the same color as the door panels I have. @hgeranium What parts are you looking for?

No, sorry. It's a lighter gray interior

@89 MJ Thanks! Just sent you a PM! @hgeraniumYes, please someone take this stuff I have a whole ton of other interior parts that I'd really like to sell for cheap. Please feel free to ask if you're looking for anything. I'm trying to take more pics soon.

How about $10 each + shipping... any interest? I hate to throw this stuff out.

Thanks all for the kind comments. This group is the best. Haha I know right! I should've taken it on film, would've been even better. Thanks, I replied to your PM.

Welcome! I love this truck. Must be siblings with mine. Curious what route you are going with for adding AC?

Hey all, I've got a bunch of stuff in my garage that needs to go. I'll be adding more to this as I take pictures and clean up more. If any of this is just straight garbage and not worth selling or keeping, please let me know. All prices are not including shipping. I ship with PayPal rates and try to get the cheapest prices. I have plenty more pics I can share if interested. Free - Vacuum Can (Bumper Mount) $10 $50 - Original OEM grill and headlight surrounds. No cracks.

Alrighty, been a busy few months. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone! Hope you all are enjoying the time with friends and family. I'm a big fan of Sears (RIP), so I couldn't resist a photo op at this Sears Auto Center. Most of my garage time has been taken up by the Barracuda recently, but I did get a chance to replace all my *original* heater hose with really nice Gates green stripe heavy duty hose. I bought 50' of it on Rockauto for all my projects. Now I kind of regret it. The stuff is almost too nice! It's so thick that it's very hard to route it around curves. But I was able to get it all to work well. Finally, I'm very excited to report that I found a set of Eliminator wheels while home for the holidays. I've been looking since I bought the truck and wow these wheels are hard to find. The ones I bought aren't in the best shape, but I think I will try to bring them to a wheel shop to see what can be done. I got them all packed up and shipped out last night. Will also need to find some center caps... That's all for now!

Noo I have yet to get a roll of Portra 400. This is just basic fujifilm 400. Which is rumored to be rebranded kodak gold now. I do really want to try Porta 400 though. Yep, the parking lot of Brushy Peak.

A couple of pictures I took this weekend on film. Thought they came out pretty awesome!

Yes! Thanks! I'm glad I saw the recommendation on here. I also had a felpro on hand, and it doesn't comlare to the Remflex. Much much nicer!

Thanks! And let me know if you're serious! I'm from NY originally. About once a year, a couple of my friends fly out to visit me for a week or two (usually around Christmas) and we buy a couple cars and drive them back east. It's a hectic trip and a lot of fun, but it's absolutely the way to go. I just saw a sweet white 92 eliminator sell for like 3k (4.0, ax15, 2wd though)... I wish I could save them all I'll keep an eye out for the duct tape crimps. That's pretty wild. I don't think I've seen any before. I'll ask my dad about them too - he's been working on mopars since the 60s.

It was originally metallic blue, which I like quite a bit better. Apparently a few years ago he was sick of looking at the blue and painted it lime green in his garage. Fair enough - he owned the car for almost 60 years! But one day, I'd like to bring it back to the blue.

Thanks guys! It's way shinier and way less rusty than anything I'm usually used to haha

Well... I tried to limit myself to two cars. I really did. I live in a townhouse with a small garage and just a little bit of street parking. I barely (don't) have time to stay on top of the work needed on the Comanche and my Charger. But I couldn't turn this down. I've always wanted a 67-69 barracuda, and this is the ultimate one. Original 383 big block car, 4 speed, formula S, original owner! So, for now, the Jeep must be street parked I'm a sucker for that fast back. Dual quads! Picked up some cool stuff for the car at the Goodguys swap meet last weekend: I don't even know where to start with this one. It runs and drives pretty well right now, but it is mostly original. It's pretty daunting! And every part costs a heck of a lot more than Comanche parts. So for now, I'm going to put this on the back burner and focus on the Comanche. I will say, it doesn't get old coming home to see this face in the garage. I still can't believe I got it.

... and that wasn't all I did last weekend. I decided that wasn't fun enough, so I took apart the doors and replaced all the weather stripping. The old felt was pretty brittle, and the window scrapers were almost non-existent. The Precision Replacement Parts kit was great. It's pretty cheap and fit very similar to OEM. Out with the old... And... oops.. I don't have any pictures of the new. I'll grab some, but you get the idea. It looks a lot better now. One of the big things I was looking forward to with this job was finding the build sheet inside the door panels. Unfortunately, no luck. This is all that remained: Thanks for reading!

Well, labor day weekend was busy for me. I decided to finally take a crack at the exhaust manifold. It was pretty straight-forward. It seems like most people report that all exhaust manifolds crack eventually, even the fancy Banks headers. So, I bought the cheapest ones on ebay and threw them on. I used a nice Remflex gasket, which worked great. The worst part, of course, was the rear stud was broken deep within the head. I had to get a new tool, right hand drill (oh no what a shame more tools!), and luckily enough that took it right out: Along the way, I found the power steering pulley had a chip in it, and the lower radiator hose was barely held on by the hose clamp. Whoever replaced the water pump last put the hose clamp on the very very edge of the hose. I'm lucky it didn't blow off. I ended up replacing the hose and flushing the coolant while I had it all apart. Also, the heater control valve was extremely brittle and snapped apart while I was manipulating the hoses around. And I figured I'd replace the valve cover gasket and clean it up. So all in, new: exhaust manifold, valve cover gasket, power steering pulley, serpentine belt, lower radiator hose, heater control valve, and fresh coolant. After all this work, I took the truck for a test drive... and the CEL came on. Code 51 - lean mixture. Very disappointing. I checked all the vacuum lines and the manifold bolts. Nothing. Checked the O2 sensor wiring - also fine. So I bought a new O2 sensor and diagnosed the old one. Grounds all checked fine and the heater wire was getting 13V. The signal wire seemed a little off potentially, but it was hard to tell. So I swapped in the new O2 sensor, and so far no codes! The O2 sensor I took out still had the original Mopar PN on it, incredibly. I don't quite understand how it's possible that before all this, there were no codes. And after all these issues were fixed, now I get a code? Weird... Here's the crack, pretty gnarly! The truck is a lot quieter now, and it always feels nice finishing big jobs like this. After 30+ years of 4 owners, you never know what's going on under the hood. Each job makes you more familiar with the truck, giving you a little more piece of mind that things are done right. Happy Jeep up in the mountains:

Well that was quick... turns out these tabs are pretty easy to get bent. It must've gotten bent outta wack while I was wrestling it out. Bent it back and it lines up now... Unrelated question, might be better for a new thread - but any advice on removing the windows (1992 for me) that has the plastic retainer? This job would've been a lot easier if I could've removed the window. And I still need to do the other side.
