Ok, guys... It has been almost a year and I'm finally working on a new laptop... Here are the pictures and progress so far... This is the condition she was in when I got her... The rear bumper was in the bed. Will post the bumper fabrication/installation pics soon as well as the cap installed pictures.

Ok guys, I'm new here and could use some help. I just picked up a 88 "Big Ton" Comanche "something"... Vin #1JTMP65R 0JT238338. I do not know the particular package I have other then the following: Cost: $200 198,000 miles Long bed (7') 4X4 4.0 L AMC 242 Aisin AW-4 Tranny Dana 44 rear end I do not know what Trim Package I have because someone Maaco'd the original red paintjob and ripped off all of the emblems. She dose have nice looking chrome trim on the sides though... I cannot get the E-Brake indicator light to go off I hate the dash with no guages... All it has is a gas guage and a speedometer, everything else is an idiot light. I live by my Tach and OPG in my ZJ. No night lighting behind the dashboard or radio lcd, and no its not a fuse, I checked. Busted passenger side leaf in the leaf spring. (debating whether to weld it or replace the whole set) Renix control board laying on the floor, some mook took it off to test it and never put it back, I have no idea how to get it back on it's bracket. Window crank on drivers side stripped out a little. Trying to decide on the best looking "commercial grade" all terrain tires to put on her. Want to replace the handle on the tailgate, mine's rotted almost completely through despite the tailgate being in rust free condition... go figure. So if anyone has any ideas about the above stuff let me know, I cannot wait to get her on the road. She'll be my work truck from here on out once she gets back on her wheels.

Hello, I'm in Marblehead.

Ok guys, I'm new here. I've been a Jeep guy with my 95 ZJ for 456k miles. I just picked up a 88 "Big Ton" Comanche "something"... Vin #1JTMP65R 0JT238338. I do not know the particular package I have other then the following: Cost: $200 198,000 miles Long bed (7') 4X4 4.0 L AMC 242 Aisin AW-4 Tranny Dana 44 rear end Until previous owner bought it in 2006 she was a dealer owned truck used to deliver parts for the dealership. This truck sat for 3 years and other than a new battery and some gas she started right up. Oh by the way, she runs better than this laptotp so as soon as i fix this POS computer I will have some pictures up. So anyways, the drivers side floorboard is gone, completely gone. The passenger side is on it's way out too. I ordered a full set of pans from C2C and am waiting till they arive before the carpet gets torn out. The brake lines leaked like a seive but I was "easily" able to replace all of them today with some teflon coated line. Tomorrow, or whenever, I will fill and bleed the system. I ripped off the rotted out rear bumper and am making up a new one with 1/2" 6x6 galvanized angle iron and re-using all the stock side caps and tread plates. Found a nice mint condition bed cap for $100. I am going to replace the crappy black plastic headlamp bezels and grill with a chrome set off of an 86 in a nearby junkyard. Ok onto the current issues.... I do not know what Trim Package I have because someone Maaco'd the original red paintjob and ripped off all of the emblems. She dose have nice looking chrome trim on the sides though... I cannot get the E-Brake indicator light to go off I hate the dash with no guages...
