Improvisation? No, no, no... that's a permanent fixture that I've been thinking for a while now. :D

Definitely.

On my to-do list. Thanks, Pat! :thumbsup:

Odd that a SWB was used, I think. If I were to build something similar I would've started with a long box for more cargo room. Still... what a neat creature!

I had it on a thick pad of cow mat for a while but I wanted to get it up off the floor a little bit so I could fit my hand under it to get to the water trap. The compressor got lag screwed to the new platform and the mat now serves as a pad between the tank and the wall. I've also heard that getting the air intake out of the room that the compressor is sitting in also helps quiet it down. I figure whatever I did it would still be too noisy for me. I like this... can barely hear it in the shop.

^ Another 'Nest.

So... I've been working of insulating and finishing my shop. One of my biggest objectives was to move my air compressor out of the shop area and into the big garage. Mostly for the noise... I hate, hate, hate the sound of an air compressor. It's always going off right when you're trying to concentrate on something or when everything is quiet and you're just enjoying the silence or, or, or... :headpop: Anyhow... I wanted to move my compressor and that turned into wiring, then I might as well change the oil in it, and change the air cleaner as I haven't changed that since before I painted my Eliminator. Wiring was no problem as was changing the oil, but when it came to the air cleaner I really didn't want to drive all the way back into town just for some chunk of felt that's claimed to be an "air cleaner". That turned into a project. There was some fabrication involved but nothing really of big interest. When it was all said and done I ended up with an easy to find filter that I know I always have on hand. Yup... that's a factory MJ/XJ air cleaner that's mounted on my wall. :D

I know where there's another. :peek:

Nice! Never seen a WilderNest Tip Top on a Comanche before. :thumbsup:

It is October! It's a time of change... this time of year. The weather, the leaves... the Comanches. Yup... seems like it's this time of year that I really get a move-on when it comes to finishing up projects. For some of us, the projects go on year round... and the rest of us love watching! One of such trucks is this clean '88. Seems like there's always something moving forward and getting better and better! This month is all for... Jeep Driver's '88 Pioneer!!!

There's just not enough good information out there on the 2.5s and this one is just a nice example of what possible. Tip of the Comanche Stetson to you, sir. -Ben Click here to view the article

Damn... looks like that one had some solid floors and rockers too. :(

Close enough!!! :thumbsup:

Waiting for the swing vote to change your mind. :crossfingers:

I'm not sure if this helps my argument or not... but some of us actually are color blind. :wavey: Blues are easy though... I've got issues with oranges/reds/purples mostly. Anyhow... OLD MAN PANTS BLUE FOR THE WIN!!! ... because everybody loves a little anarchy from time to time. :D

:clapping: Come on BLUE!!! We've got some steam now let's keep it going!

Beautiful country up there, eh?

Levers? :hmm: Fixed... levelers.

Does that mean your '88 just might get the dust knocked off it?

There was pictures of a gray MJ floating around years that had a V8 swap with a ZJ donor and the guy swapped the whole dash over. Everything seemed to fit with trimming but if I remember right there looked like there was just about zero leg room under the dash. Can't find it right now, but I know it's out there... :hmm:

I was planning on using the load levelers and Sensa Tracs up front. Didn't work out with the levers on my LWB so I went with the Sensa Tracs all around.

From page 1. :thumbsup:

Damn dude! Sorry to see that. :(

Been waiting to see this! :rotf: Diggin' the old man feel of this one. Probably get a line of people wanting that visor too.

Check the windshield right around the VIN plate. Nice. :laughin:
