^^ This. Vibratus maximus. I took them off my MJ two weeks later and replaced them with NOS Mopar originals. Never again.......... I have the Iron Man 4x4 ones, which are basically the same as the brown dog mounts. I noticed increased vibration but nothing that bad....

1988 Jeep Comanche Aka The Penny Sniffer ,pic Heavy
Zebvance replied to Zebvance's topic in Member Projects: Your Comanches
Sunday I got up and took the truck to lowes for a few things and just drove it around a bit. Got some good pictures of it. Everything always looks better in the rain, bad paint jobs don't look near as bad lol. I also noticed I have a decent fuel leak at the in line fuel filter. Once it stops raining I button that up. Things left to do: Fix fuel leak Install rear bumper lights Install rear locker Install NSS -

Replaced the head lights last night and a turn signal socket that was intermittent. I now have both low beam and high beams now unlike before. Plus those old bulbs were as bright as candles.... Still need to adjust the head lights down cause with lifting it they are pointing pretty high now. Ran out of time last night though. The list is getting smaller. Not sure what I'm going to tackle next, the NSS or the rear bumper lights. Still to do: -install new NSS to get brake lights/revers lights working consistently again. -remove old rear bumper lights/install new LED ones -install rear locker -get long arms in correct alignment (dropping it off Thursday) -

got some more work done on the comanche over the weekend and last night. -Adjusted TPS Runs alot better but It does still bog down and back fire a little when in 4x4. -pulled the headliner that was falling down and found a date (1990) on what looks to be a after market roof panel. I guess this thing had a new roof put on it at some time before it got laid over, now it needs another new roof lol. Last night I got all the light bars back working. One had a blown fuse, the other a bad switch, and the other a loose connection. Now for the bad news. When I went to go pull the switch panel out I had to pull the gear shift down to get to the screw that holds the panel to the dash. Well after trouble shooting some switches I decided that I needed a test probe and hopped out of the truck headed to the store to get one..... 10 mins later I get a call from my wife that the truck rolled down the drive way and into my brother-in-laws car. BONE HEAD MOVE! I forgot to put the truck back in park when I got out of it...... SO now I have to fix his car. A big expense that could of be avoided if I was paying attention and not in such of a hurry. Here is a picture of his car. The back corner of the bumper ran into his hatch, no damage to the Comanche except a scuff on the bumper and a cracked tail light.... Never the less I'm not going to cry over spilled milk. Need to keep the momentum going on the truck so I can use it for the hunting season. Opening weekend for dove is closing in quick. Tonight I will trouble shoot and install new headlight bulbs. Still to do: -install new NSS to get brake lights/revers lights working consistently again. -remove old rear bumper lights/install new LED ones -Fix headlights -install rear locker -get long arms in correct alignment (dropping it off Thursday) -

Yea mine are 8 inch wheels. Didnt get 10 inch cause I was worried about popping a bead on the trail while at low PSI. I don't remember what the backspacing was. But I do have 2 inch wheel spacers. I also have 9.25" of lift. -

Got some work done on the Comanche this week and man it was HOT! Fixed the TRE on the drag link. I had to cut it off and get a new one one and grind down the pit man arm some to get the castle nut down enough to slip a cotter pin in it. So Steering is 100% done and safe to drive. Also finally got all the hardware to bolt the drive shaft up, so I did that. Its been almost 3 years since I have had front and rear matching gear sets. so I have not had 4wd for that long. I took it down the street and put it in to 4wd and it worked great!!!!!! That front locker made a world of difference too. In a couple weeks Ill get it over to a Offroad shop here in town and they are going to align it, adjust the long arms for correct pinion angle, dial in the drag link and the sway bar links for me while there at it along with grease everything up. This is next to impossible to do in my drive way with out a jack big enough for the truck, it would be cake if I had access to a lift. The shop is going to charge me $160, which I feel Is a fair price. After that I still have to do the following which I will try to do some of it before it gets dropped off at the shop... Electrical: -Adjust TPS to factory recommendation (I believe its too advanced and I get some back firing from time to time. ) -Left headlight sometimes works some times doesn't. (bad ground?) -Rear right tail light not working (could just be a bulb) -Install NSS to get reverse lights working again -diagnose and fix why half of Light bars are working (bad grounds/Fuse blocks most likely) -Remove lights in rear bumper and install replacement LED lights Other: -Remove headliner ( its falling) -Install Rear locker I hope to have most of this done so I can enjoy the truck at the deer lease and down at Matagorda beach this winter. Its hard to get motivation to get out and work on it when It is 100+ degrees though.... -

Thanks a lot and stay on track with your goals! -
I will. Pm Sent Cruiser

Nobody still willing to sell a extra one they ordered?

Do you have A/C? On the four bangers there is a switch on the power steering pump that bumps the idle up when cranking the steering wheel into the stops. The switch may be stuck closed. Disconnect the wire connector from this switch and see if the idle drops down. A leaking vacuum line will also cause a high idle. Check for disconnected and/or broken plastic vacuum lines. I need this switch to help move my 35s

Giving the specs can help narrow it down. -
brake lights, reverse lights will stop working if its connections are getting to corroded. Thats the issue I am having, in which I can not pass inspection.
