DREDnot

I'm satisfied with the simple green and a scrub brush. Wipe down with a wet towel and dry

I used to pick up derelicts for a junk yard. One memorable wreck had hundreds of mice up in the a/c ducts and when I got inside to pop the trans into neutral, they all decided to come pouring out of the vents and defrosters onto my lap.

Its tough to tell one from the other as some do not have the L and R. The two I grabbed from a pile of them at AMC 4x4 were both rights upon further inspection. One had the R and the other did not. They both had the same P/N...8955-007-674 What's the p/n of the left side?

Seriously? I never knew that those axles were in any XJ or MJs. I always assumed D35,D44,or 8.25. Learn something new every day :D

I have a four wheeler magazine from 1987 that has a jeep ad for the comanche that shows two different race trucks in action and both have upsidedown grilles

They are different. If you sight down the long edges, you can see that one side is curved and the other is straight. certain years had an "L" and "R" molded in

Taking some combustor parts to heat treat

I found a 10 slot grille and popped it in upside down and didn't notice for a few days. Then I started noticing about four out of ten (pics or on the street ) had the grille upside down.

Same thing just happened to mine. Acted like dead battery. New starter. VROOM.

I actually did some experiments to see what location yielded the best reduction in temperature,airflow over the hood at different speeds,etc.

Most HID, and especially faux "HID" equipped cars seem to throw way to much crazy light in my eyes. If the lights of an oncoming car dazzle your eyes, its junk and not putting the light where it belongs. I've run Hella. I've run IPF. But for my money, I am looking to get some more Cibie E codes for the Comanche. The Cibie light pattern is my favorite. Best coverage and such a sharp cutoff that oncoming traffic sees just enough light to see you. Then if you install some original JEEP fog lights,the SEV Marchal 850 GTs, you will have the ditches covered to almost 180 degrees. Spendy...but so worth it over any of the so called HID http://www.danielsternlighting.com/prod ... ducts.html

I did hood vents on my LJ Rubicon using the "exhauster" vent from the tailgate. All you have to do is cut a hole that is 6"x6 1/2" and snap it in place. It seals and locks in place, and when the engine is off and the fan no longer moves air, the vent's flaps close and seal out water. They cost like $17 at the jeep dealer

This...and a new pulley. I think that should cure it. It seems like you engine was able to rev past the fan that was locked up tighter than design. The belt would scrawl forward to try shortcut past the slower pulley.

I've had death wobble twice myself. Once from a bad tire(tread separation). And once from a worn out track bar bushing. My son's XJ gets DW from completely worn out front suspension. No lift and new,true and balanced 215/75-15 tires. Its the bump you hit that causes the DW

I grabbed some clips at the yard when I upgraded. They are push in and mangle out. They are about a 1/2"tall and 1/4" wide phosphate steel in a plastic outer case Check your doors first. My 88 already had them installed from the factory. It was good news as the clips I pulled were almost FUBAR from the removal process. You need a small pick and some small needlenose pliers to fold in the tab/teeth that hold them in place.
