acfortier Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I'm curious about the old style full gauge cluster... What years/vehicles can these be found on?
MJCARENA Posted March 14, 2011 Author Posted March 14, 2011 I'm curious about the old style full gauge cluster... What years/vehicles can these be found on? It came out of a cherokee, I think it was a 1987, not sure, but it was a Renix year.
MJCARENA Posted March 21, 2011 Author Posted March 21, 2011 Cleaned up the jack and handle and mounted them, found the strap at the JY awhile back. Image Not Found The wife wants to drive the truck and when I told her there was no shift indicator she asked if I could put one in, I liked the one Hornbrod put on his column and was going to get one. But I decided to try and cut the hole in the tach and use the original indicator instead. Took the face plate off the tach and the original gas gauge and placed the gas one on top of the tach to use as a template, placed it on a piece of wood and used a utility knife to cut the hole out. Took alot of passes but eventually cut thru it. Turned out better then I expected.
MJCARENA Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 Found a bench seat at the JY with headrests, the fabric was dirty and torn,but the headrests were in good shape, so I just bought the back piece. Swapped out my original seat cover onto the frame with the headrests, cut holes where the headrests go and reinstalled the seat back. Image Not Found
MJCARENA Posted November 20, 2011 Author Posted November 20, 2011 Replaced my exhaust today. New cat, muffler and tailpipe. They were all from Walker. Suppose to be direct replacement and pretty much was, except that I had to cut the mounts off and reweld them on in slightly different spots. They were close but could not get the tailpipe level at the rear.
MJCARENA Posted November 20, 2011 Author Posted November 20, 2011 Traded my BFG MT 31's for factory 10 spokers and BFG AT 30's
Kittrell Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Looks great, you're doin' nice work.......... :chillin:
Naterenfo1 Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I really like the ten spokes with the BFG's! Good choice!! I think I might just pick up a set of 10 spokes also now!
neohic Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Anyone else notice that the "Jeep" on the center caps are level with the ground? Awesome truck... all in the details!
MJCARENA Posted November 26, 2011 Author Posted November 26, 2011 Thank you for the nice comments on the Comanche. The previous owners did a great job keeping her clean, and I am just following in their footsteps. I went to change out my valve cover gasket today and found this. Might be the cause of my leak :idea: I went to the JY and got another valve cover. I put in the $5 cork gasket, has anybody used the permadry $40 gasket and is it worth it.
knever3 Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 I bought the felpro blue gasket with the metal inside so you can't over torque the gasket. These are notorious for leaking and over torquing any cork gasket is easy. Go with the nice one because how many times do you want to re-do the job?
MJCARENA Posted July 14, 2013 Author Posted July 14, 2013 Picked up a factory shell for it today. Will try to post photos tomorrow. Sure does fit a lot better then the one that came with the truck when I bought it.
MJCARENA Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 I painted the blue body parts satin black today for a different look. Also painted my mirrors. Going to paint the trim on my other set of tail lights black also. [
MJCARENA Posted November 17, 2013 Author Posted November 17, 2013 Added some pin striping to the truck today.
MJCARENA Posted December 3, 2013 Author Posted December 3, 2013 Cloning a Comanche Chief. Did some more pin striping and some lettering. Still have to paint around the windows and do the stripes on the hood.
MJCARENA Posted December 4, 2013 Author Posted December 4, 2013 Awesome! :thumbsup: Looks awesome! Keep it up :thumbsup: Thanks. The Manche got second place at the local high school car show, stock truck class. :)
johnny quest Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Where did you get those chief graphics? looks amazing!!!!!
ggcnash Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Looks great, remove Comanche badges, I believe the Chiefs came badge less?
MJCARENA Posted July 22, 2015 Author Posted July 22, 2015 All ready removed. See Comanche of the Month for this month. Thanks.
ggcnash Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Awesome truck, of course I'm partial to a white MJ congrats
