DirtyComanche

There's (obviously) some AR767s. A set of gears for the D30 (4.10). A Detroit TruTrac for the D30. Rusty's 6.5" LA kit... Oh yeah, there's a AA SYE in there somewhere, probably on the bottom of the pile. Of course there's a ferd 8.8 out in the driveway (my neighbours love me). A "nice" set of used 35x12.5 BFG M/Ts behind my 86. And there's a bunch of other stuff kicking around (amidst the mess). Bloody interior though, spent half the day getting it back in. I have yet to decide what to do with the wiring for the speakers in my doors, as I have made my doors removable but still want to run kick panels. I thought of putting some sort of disco inside the rubber boot/flex hose that houses the wire normally, but I shy away from this as I see it as likely getting really wet and corroded. Suggestions? Also, did anybody get rear speakers factory? I'd like to see how they mounted them up because I'd like to get that done before the whole interior goes back in. I'm sure I could make some mounting plate for them but I'd like to see first just to save time... 'Nother thing, my center console is screwed. Thus I think I'll replace it with one from a cherokee, looking foreward to actually having cup holders... Is this at all difficult? I might shelve it for a while as it's not big deal the way it is(I know what the shift pattern is on my t-case :roll: ). I've also seen (or at least I remember having) a console out of a GC in a comanche, anybody with experience with this? I've also got lots of fun wiring issues to deal with - at least I found out initially what caused my dash lights to not work. Or so I think. Seems the orange wire that turns the deck illumination on got severed and shorted things out. I fix that up, and pulled the deck for now, put in a new fuse. Now it doesn't blow the fuse but still doesn't work. So, looks like I have to chase wires and possible replace the dreaded dimmer switch. And lastly I have to pull out the Torx I stripped on the fender I hung, and replace them and all the other ones with some bolts that a cute girl at NAPA matched for me. Ooh, I also have to modify that fender (and the other) because it was ment for an 86 while I want to use the 89's fiberglass front grill/headlight holder. Should be easy. More will probably crop up, wish it wasn't so damn hot. Then I lift!

I didn't think you could get a model 20 rear in a MJ. I thought the only options were D35 and D44. Similar to the cherokee, but the chrysler 8.25 was not avaliable. Anybody able to tell me otherwise? Oh, and I can't help you.

I own half of the ones that live near me. One is a clone of my 89, blue sportuck with 4.0/ax-15/np231 - he was selling it for about 3grand. The other belongs to the father of a girl I know, it's an 88 I think, teal. And there was one in one of the junkyards. So, that makes 5, but the one in the jyard is gone now. I like the whole unique thing; if I get my 89 back together... Ooooh, and I actually followed one through town once! Yeah, the whole 3 minute drive. It was a POS, with a camper and a bald fart driving. It made me angry and sad at the same time.

Glad to see a forum for us weirdos! Heck, there's more people with comanches that actually wheel them than I thought. I've personally got two, one might have to be hauled away sometime soon. The other one is stripped down to pretty much nothing as I'm in the process of painting it with bedliner. There's a ford 8.8 sitting in my yard, disk brakes, 4.10s and posi, just begging to be swapped in. Rustys off road just sent me a UPS tracking # for my LA kit, so things are looking good! Anywho, gotta go - it's like too late for me. Gotta get up early to sand the MJ.
