  1. Change the floor plate. I had to do the same. Did you change crossmembers and get the ax15 mount bracket? Edit: I went back and read a little bit.... floor plate is in order.
  2. I would say plan your basic route and usual stops, food, fuel, and such. The farther you need to deviate from that route to connect with someone the greater the surcharge. If they are willing to come to you along the route and possibly meet at an already scheduled stop the surcharge could be adjusted accordingly. And I wouldn't expect anyone to take such a trip without at least 50% down. Thats just to much work to risk a flaky buyer.
  3. I kinda did both for a while but one seemed alot more enjoyable at the time. And then there were the the cars, boats, trucks, snowmobiles, 3 wheelers, 4 wheelers, lawn mowers, gokarts, the list goes on. All this while my parents tried to not become grandparents at an early age and prevent their home from looking like a salvage yard.......
  4. I didnt make eagle scout. Unfortunately my libido took over about the same age. My interest in knot tying and first aid wasnt as strong in my interest in the opposite sex. I am so very grateful for the knowledge and principles the scouts instilled in me, however I still love the ladies. Lol
  5. I belive that was part of the 90-91 update. I'm pretty sure my original 88 visors are the cardboard and piping while the later 91xj visors I swapped in are the plastic clamshell style.
  6. I feel old finding out how many my owners are younger than their trucks. I think I was around in the Yahoo days but if I was I wasnt really active and lost touch for a while, as I would probably have been between mjs. If anybody can remember that far back it was probably under my old handle "irajplvr"
  7. I'm old enough to know better but still don't care.
  8. Depending on the height and design of the seat mounting points it might be easier to start with a factory MJ seat mount bracket. If nothing else than a template. It will really just end up being a test and tweak as you go process to get the height and location for the particular seats where you want them.
  9. Door seals and all the window seals are new on mine. I do need to spend special attention to everything in the firewall because I get a little draft under the dash. I have already sprayed the floors with raptor liner after I redid them. I am curious to see how they look after a little use and another leaking windshield (ill get to that issue). I was thinking about a dynamat type product for the firewall roof and back panel. I drove the MJ the other day to pull it out of the shop. I couldn't belive the noise level difference between it and the WJ daily i picked up (i know its not a fair comparison but I think a good perspective). I know I won't achieve WJ noise levels but would like to quiet the interior as much as possible. I have new head bolts on the list. The older I get the more I like to just do things once and correctly. Not a fan of "redoing my doings". I thought about possible washing the evaps out with a soap and water solution, rinsing really well and letting dry, blow out with compressed air and install after some form of testing to ensure no leaks exist. But thought it better to check with experts in the field before I screw something up. lol The entire reasoning for the purchase of the WJ and once again parking of the MJ was a failure of the windshield adheasive. I was ok with the drafty broken heater box, I am usually dressed to work outdoors for the day no matter what the weather. But a trip to the carwash revealed the recently installed windshield was leaking, I called the glass guy back and told him. He came out to look at it and decided he would need to order a new rubber trim due to mine being stuck in the urethane. I am currently waiting on his return to remove and reinstall my windshield. He is waiting on the seal arrival and me calling him to schedule a time. I told him I am in no rush due to all the other work I have planned for the MJ. I would normally be upset about the windshield situation but my glass guy has assumed full responsibility and really stepped up so far.
  10. Ok this will make about the 3rd time I have had the dash and heater box out of my truck and am hoping to make it the last. I will be stripping most of the interior to do some sound deadening of some sort. I plan to install a new heater core and a good evaporator core. My heater box is broken but have sourced a replacement. I need suggestions on things I need to do while I have it all out (seals to replace, things to upgrade). I also need an idea on how to test the 2 evaporators I have to make sure they are good and finally a way to flush them before or after install. Also looking for suggestions on sound deadening materials and methods. I know our MJs are just noisy by nature but hoping to cut down on as much as I can. I will also be pulling the head to replace the leaking head gasket, along with installing a new radiator. Any other suggested parts while I am in this far?
  11. https://fortwayne.craigslist.org/pts/d/fort-wayne-jeep-comanche-parts/7282586205.html I don't need any of it but if someone does it is within 30mins of me.
  12. I told you on page 2, take the windshield out. lol what about dry ice freezing the screw then smash it with a hammer.....
  13. nah we can use rivets......
  14. What if we pick the truck up rotate it on the long axis 180°, and shake it loose?
  15. I think I'm running out of screwy jokes so I guess all I want to say is "in on page 6"
  16. What if you weld a nut to the head then you could use a swivel socket.
  17. Oh and come on page 4
  18. Did anyone suggest: Righty tighty lefty loosey
  19. Just goes to show what we are capable of if we all just work together. Lol
  20. Yeah don't take the dash out. The windshield is much easier to remove.
  21. Eh. If nothing else it gives you a reason to get a new vehicle every few years and the rust pieces make a great driveway material.
  22. lol rusty brake lines are soooooo much fun. I rebuilt the piece I messed up yesterday. Installed it and pumped the pedal to find another leak 6 inches from my connection. So now I get to pull my piece out and remake it longer.... ugh, I will be glad when this thing has brakes and I can pull it out of the shop.
  23. 4.7. Quadratrac II. Was looking for a driver. Got a good deal on it. Hoping to maybe keep the mj off the salty roads a little more. It got new pads and rotors up front, a new battery, an almost repaired brake line (don't ask), new wipers and a little bit of cleaning yesterday. Not sure whats up but I can't get my pic to upload.
