ScrapHybrid Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 I would like to introduce "Scrappy" The truck has 250,xxx kms and still runs very well. Passed Aircare with flying colours. I'm picking up cargo for a delivery I did today, it was 260km round trip in mountainous terrain and I only used $40 bucks gas. Here is the interior I will post images of the donor soon, I plan on tearing into the donor this coming weekend. :wrench: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrapHybrid Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 More pics. I had some rust problems around the rear wheel wells. I sanded the junks of rust away and sprayed some rustkiller on it. Here is the engine, there is a small valve cover leak I need to fix. I hate the smell of burned oil inside when heat is on. Here is the donor. It is a 99 and has more kms and worse interior then the 89 :shake: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrapHybrid Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hi, in a couple hours I'm going to start pulling parts off my donor. Is there any links anyone would recommends I look at to give me a heads up for any challenges I'm going to be facing when it comes time to upgrade the Comanche? :dunce: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue88Comanche Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Here is the interior thats a nice interior. Other than the gauge cluster why would you want to change it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrapHybrid Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 Well with all the wiring it looks like it might be easyer to just throw the other dash in, but what do I know. I'm going to have to do some research to get this 99 4.0 to run in my 89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrapHybrid Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 I started tearing into the pig today, I'm a little scared I got my self into a little more then I thought it was going to be. I'v done a 4x4,4.0 swap into a 87 sport Comanche from a 88 Cherokee before but all the wiring is the same. I'm first year Auto Tech Apprentice but that is not much help here lol. Anyways here are some pics, I just getting to know the the pig. before after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
