MJCARENA Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCARENA Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCARENA Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share 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.

MJCARENA Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJCARENA Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share 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 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCARENA Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share 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. [ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
