I always seem to be a day behind when I get on here. lol Yesterday I tackled the new project on the mj. Sleeping quarters. I put the topper back on and began construction of a sleeping platform with storage underneath. don't worry everthing is good with the wife, I don't need a place to sleep. We are planning a road trip vacation to go see Yellowstone National Park and I have convinced her to take the truck. Today I have to deck the platform and begin working on a liner for the topper and some lighting....

I spent the last 2 days changing a u joint and both rear wheel bearings. It began with just the clunky u joint. I crawled under to change it and noticed the wheel seals leaking. I thought to myself what a great time to fix it since I didn't need to drive anywhere for a few days. After a lot of chasing parts, received wrong parts first round, I found a press at a friend of a friend house. It took 2 days because for some silly reason I still don't own a press. Locating and obtaining permission to use one, seems to be more difficult than before. I think when all this crap is over I am making a trip to harbor fraught to purchase a press. Put her all back together yesterday afternoon. Took a short test drive. Unfortunately something happened to the soothing vibration and growl coming from the rear of the truck. Now I have to listen to that silly radio in the dash. Oh well I trust my truck to begin making another joyful sound of carnage for me to listen to soon enough.....

is it a short bed? Id be interested in the roll bar if so.

dang pete you beat me to it. I was about to ask about the bed.

I did but it was long ago in a galaxy far far away. Translation: yes but can't remember results, as it has been too long ago for my brain to recall.

I want to start off by saying I am for sure not a carberator guru. I have spent my shjare of hours leaned over a fender scratching my head just like you are. It sounds to me like you need a vacuum guage, a tachometer and a fuel pressure guage, and a manual or at bare minimum a parts breakdown for that carb. before you will get much farther with success. It also sounds like you would benifit from some reasearch on how to properly set a carb. I am not trying to tell you how, I just know that continually moving screws when you don't fully understand what they do will not help. To the best of my ability and guesswork: The screw behind the choke is an idle adjustment. It will help you to adjust the idle. To get the idle adjusted properly you first need to adjust the air fuel mixture. Its been a long time but this is best done with a vacuum guage IIRC. The 2 mixture screws are probably Low speed mixture and High speed mixture. I can't tell you which one is which, but a manual will. The other port is probably a full time vacuum for a break booster or somthing similar. I hope all this helps. And I am sure someone on here with more carb experience than me can help some more.

Have you considered a donor harness from another vehicle? I swapped the entire engine harness in mine in about an hour. It also gave me a chance to completely dissassemble the harness and inspect/repair it before installing.

Cluster swap all day. Looks a lot better IMO. Its a really easy upgrade and you gain full gauges.

Yes along with cruisers mods. My build: https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=https://comancheclub.com/topic/8033-finally-found-onenow-it-has-a-new-floor/&share_tid=8033&share_fid=53169&share_type=t

While you have the belt off pay attention to the water pump. Especially the amount of resistance it takes to turn. There should be some as you should be spinning the impeller in fluid. Sounds almost like the impeller has come loose. Have you had any cooling issues? I would give the water pump shaft a good wiggle side to side and make sure the bearings are good. Also try taking a long bar (prybar or similar item works well). With engine running place one end of the bar on each belt driven item and place the other end in your fist with your ear up against it. You will be able to hear where the noise is coming from. I was taught this trick before mechanics had stethoscopes. It still works.

Has anyone tried it? Do you think that it wouls seal better than an old one? Looking to stop the oil spewing everywhere from mine. My build: https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=https://comancheclub.com/topic/8033-finally-found-onenow-it-has-a-new-floor/&share_tid=8033&share_fid=53169&share_type=t

Looks like it might fit. Can anyone confirm?

I know you said you spun the pulleys but did you check the harmonic balancer? They will seperate with time. My build: https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=https://comancheclub.com/topic/8033-finally-found-onenow-it-has-a-new-floor/&share_tid=8033&share_fid=53169&share_type=t

I could see it for parts. But have to agree.

awaiting trade updates....

My 88 pioneer does not have headrests on the bench. However the '90 buckets I swapped in have headrests.

I know where there are at least 3 in the same salvage yard..... My build: https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=https://comancheclub.com/topic/8033-finally-found-onenow-it-has-a-new-floor/&share_tid=8033&share_fid=53169&share_type=t

I forgot. Add it to the registry. Lol My build: https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=https://comancheclub.com/topic/8033-finally-found-onenow-it-has-a-new-floor/&share_tid=8033&share_fid=53169&share_type=t

Ok I'll give that a try. I couldnt even get it to latch when I tried last time. But I didn't oil it either. My build: https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=https://comancheclub.com/topic/8033-finally-found-onenow-it-has-a-new-floor/&share_tid=8033&share_fid=53169&share_type=t

Welcome to the community. This is a great place to start: http://cruiser54.com/ As far as the 4wd goes, you will need a 4wd trans, tcaseand shift linkage, driveshaft, plus a few interior parts.

Looks like a good use for some flexseal. Lol My build: https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=https://comancheclub.com/topic/8033-finally-found-onenow-it-has-a-new-floor/&share_tid=8033&share_fid=53169&share_type=t

Yes I have. I have a pretty bad leak at the cap still. I tried to do cruisers mod to the cap but it made it too tight to get all the way on. Been thinking about a late model valve cover swap.

Stiffer isn't always better when it comes to engine and trans mounts. Ask the folks that have ran poly bushings. I wouldnt try to re-enginerd it. I would install a new factory mount and call it a day.
