None anymore. There used to be a young guy (had a N, so new license) that had one that wasn't too badly beat up. I'd see him fairly regularly. I kept trying to catch him so I could give him my info if he wanted to sell the truck, but never did, and haven't seen him (well, the truck, I couldn't pick him out of a lineup) in months. I never asked the guy I sold my green one to what happened to it. I don't really want to know. I was getting sent pictures of it for a while. I keep peeking in the yard down the road to see if the older guy there still has one. It was way in the back and the yard is fenced, but he definitely used to have one that was sitting back there.

The Renix harness is really simple and can normally be deloomed, inspected, and repaired over a weekend of poking at it and doing other things. Or you can get a junkyard one, which may or may not need work itself. There is nothing from the aftermarket that I'm aware of. Where did it melt? Take it apart and see how bad it is.

1986 & 1988 Mj build? Part out?
DirtyComanche replied to FT-Comanche's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Build both or sell one to somebody who will. Neither of those should be parted out.- 16 replies

Also, those might not be KK wheels, I was told they might have come off a Compass or something. So, if you're going to buy random wheels and assume they fit because they say Jeep on them, maybe measure the hub bore and the bolt pattern.

Another video of basically zero technical content, poor editing, and gags that aren't funny: Takeaway is: -The JK MP241 transfer case really doesn't fit, but that's a combination of issues. I'm probably going to drill the transmission tail housing to the XJ/MJ clocking, since it's a TJ trans, and then live with however that works out. This will wait until the next time I pull the engine/tranny back out. -I have to work on the front axle/oil pan/suspension before getting hung up on anything else. -I don't remember how I was going to make half this project work.

If anyone would be so kind as to post any random pictures they have of the Iron Rock Offroad 3 link long arm front suspension installation, it would be appreciated. My application is very custom, but it looks like it may fit. If it does, I'd rather just buy it than build it, as quite frankly I've already got way too many things to do on this Comanche without making my own front long arm kit. However, I really can't tell from the few pictures on their website nor what I found Googling. Thanks a bunchly.

You need an AX-15 crossmember, mounting plate, and mount from an XJ. The mount itself is a wear part, so just buy a new one. You can butcher or make the other parts if you need to, but that's assuming some fabrication ability. Also, the tailhousing on the TJ tranny is drilled to the wrong clock angle for your tcase, it may (probably) hit the floor.

Ski job I was on years ago: Flying over the Canol Trail (Canol pipeline) in the NWT: Like I said, I don't normally take pictures, so I have very few.

I no longer have a garage, only a shop. I do have more tools than 16 years ago.

That would be hilarious if they had it at the pump too.

It won't come back down any time soon. There won't be any tax relief, and the supply/demand situation indicates that it should only get worse for the next year.

2.009 spotted in Vancouver today. That's $7.59 a gallon. I paid 1.749 to fill up when I left work. $6.61 a gallon.

Not really a flyby per se, but back when I worked on rappel stuff. I normally don't bother to take pictures. Too busy with my jerb. C5s are cool. We had one pull some ridiculous takeoff here recently and shake the crap out of the hangar. Not sure why they stopped in, normally they don't, typically only helicopters and fighter jets stop here on the way to Alaska because of their poor range.

Quick Draw Brand Bellhousing Adapters LS, R2.8 and more
DirtyComanche replied to Limeyjeeper's topic in The Pub
I think you could also argue that people who want to bolt a 2.5L to an AX-15 are not that common. -
Struggling to get parts in Oz
DirtyComanche replied to Aussie's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I looked around and can't find stock/listings for either right now. I'm wondering if this is more of a supply chain issue (not to beat that dead horse we've been hearing constantly for the last 2 years) than them being actually discontinued? There's an awful lot of XJs still on the road. If it's going to be an issue I better find a new windshield soon... -
Go right ahead.

The Lenovo one I've been issued is rock solid. It uses Thunderbolt USB-C. I could see it being bad if it used one of the older USB standards. 3 different people use it, and if none of my cross shifts have broken it yet, so it must be pretty good.

Also, since ultimately you're going to print in greyscale, this is what it would look like (mostly). If I moved the box off the shelf it might have been better. But you're getting what you paid for.
