87MJTIM

Fey bumper

No, it was not originally metric. I did purchase the rear leafs from General Springs last year. They have the "miliary wrap' with an extra booster leaf. They give the truck 3" of rear lift. I had installed 2" spacers up front to even it out. Although, the rear sits higher.

Rotted away, unfortunately.

After 11 months, I have my MJ back. It got a full restoration. Engine rebuilt. Trans and T-case serviced. Rust repair and a new paint job. Attached are before and after pictures. Pre resto. Looking a little tired. Today. Looking showroom new. The drivers floor. Fred Flintstone would be at home. Today. Por 15 to complete. Drivers side rear wheel well. During repair. Today. From the rear. Is there something missing? I know! A Comanche Club window sticker!

don't forget brake lines.

I recall a while back, maybe 2 yrs, a CC member wrote that he wrecked his MJ when he was 4 wheeling. He set his park brake, got out of the truck to move something. His brake gave and the truck roll down hill and struck a tree. I think he said it was totalled. I wonder if his was an '86?

My 87 has just been completed a full resto. I learned how to ID parts and located them this past year

8350 4893

Just get the whole truck, then throw what you don't need or is broken beyond repair.

Tail lights, seat brackets, pickup bed light (if present), rear bumber. (not inteded to be a complete list. Just some parts that come mind.)

I mis-read your post. I did scan those four pages, but could not figure out how to attach it to a post. How do I attached a pdf? Or pm me and I will email them to you.

My books are glue bound. I don't want to brake then apart. Sorry. I have the FSM for my CJ in a 3 ring. I will scan the complete set one day.

These are the pages from the FSM for the 86 brake fix.

Check out http://comancheclub.com/topic/33662-refurbishing-the-fuel-sender/ You should PM originator of the thread.

What yr is your MJ? There are factory service manual for the electrics available on CC. I know of the 88 manual on here.

Get a continuity tester for the switch. Test the power in and then test all the plugs out. The switch on my CJ went out. That is how I tested it.

Been there...Done that... Don't want the t-shirt Glad to hear...(I am not the only one ;) )

Pull the radio out and make sure you didn't disconnect the wires from the fan controls. Ask me how I know....

Mine has 281k with no problems as a DD. I have an AX15 plus 231 in my garage. Just waiting for an external.

You can purchase the FSM. Look on ebay. I purchase the FSM for my 87 at www.faxonautoliterature.com These are print version, though. Bishko Automobile Literature on ebay has a 90 FSM on CD for $26.

I took the two hoses to Tipco to have them remade. The guy at the shop looked at them and said that only one needed to be remade. He said the other looked ok. This is the one remade Image Not Found The old one was so rusted the compression fitting was frozen stuck and the metal tube was cracked where the rubber tube connected. I asked how much he thought it would cost and he estimated $100 :???: The final total was only $65, but still... I felt like I went to the doctor - Dr. Ben Dover!

Good to hear.

I will try calling. Their website does not give hrs, especially on Sat, I may have to wait. I found a local shop that repair a/c and hydraulic hoses. I may need to get the old ones repaired. They are in DelMarVa. www.tipcotech.com

Thx. Mine is the factory a/c. Further snooping has led me to www.allmoparparts.com. This store says they have them. However, it does not give part numbers or a picture of the parts. I will look at Jeepair next.
