moparbrown Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 Sloooow... build of my first manche 91 4.0 Manual 2X4 Shortbed with 225k St. Louis MO
moparbrown Posted June 23, 2017 Author Posted June 23, 2017 The wife spotted this 91 at a dealership in junction city Kansas. Called the guy and he was willing to trade my 07 charger straight across. Drove over 5 hours each way to pick it up. This is the first pic! It ran out of gas on the test drive but it only took half a test drive to fall in love with this turd. 91 4.0 Manual 2X4 Shortbed with 225k St. Louis MO

moparbrown Posted August 17, 2017 Author Posted August 17, 2017 Picked up some gamblers for cheap on craigslist. 91 4.0 Manual 2X4 Shortbed with 225k St. Louis MO
Pete M Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 love me some wheels with speed-holes :D truck is coming along nicely. :thumbsup:
PCO6 Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Coming along nicely. It looks a lot like mine ... gamblers and all.
moparbrown Posted October 8, 2017 Author Posted October 8, 2017 Slowly upgrading. Brakes all around, test fit new wheels and tires size. Need to paint the wheels and get new tires before winter. Pretty set on Falken Wildpeak A/T. Hopefully a small lift and some paint soon. 91 4.0 Manual 2X4 Shortbed with 225k St. Louis MO
DirtyComanche Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 Did you do Cruiser54's mod to that valve cover while you had it off?

moparbrown Posted October 8, 2017 Author Posted October 8, 2017 Did you do Cruiser54's mod to that valve cover while you had it off? The one pictured is a junkyard spare- I am doing the mod and painting it before I install. I did have a lot of oil in the air filter so I’m hoping that will help.91 4.0 Manual 2X4 Shortbed with 225k St. Louis MO
DirtyComanche Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 9 hours ago, HOrnbrod said: The one that you hack off the interior vents? Why do that? You just cut them down a bit. It seems to cut down on the amount of oil that gets vented into the air filter. I say seems to, I don't have enough first hand data at this point.
HOrnbrod Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 I didn't cut them, and have zero oil in the filter. Going to the 94 and up CCV system with the larger hoses and keeping the vent towers intact as originally designed made better sense to me.
moparbrown Posted October 26, 2017 Author Posted October 26, 2017 I have the best wife. Got new tires for my birthday. She surprised me with them, even had them mounted before I got home from work. Feel lucky she let me buy a project. 91 4.0 Manual 2X4 Shortbed with 225k St. Louis MO
87Warrior Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 You are moving along quite nicely with this truck. I am glad I get to watch the build. ...and you are a lucky man having a wife who not only let you get a project, but is an enabler herself with those tires!

I got lucky and married the daughter of a 4x4 guy, she even got me a D44 for christmas one year. Do NOT let that kinda wife go; and be sure to shower her with gifts and affection! ps. Digging the build, its looking good! I like the 10-hole rims in black.

Skorpyo Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 nah, if she's got a jeep and she wheels (and she looks like she's smiling) then it's in the blood, you're set...

moparbrown Posted January 15, 2019 Author Posted January 15, 2019 Did some more work this weekend. Refreshed some grounds from Cruiser’s tips and fixed my headlights. DIY write up here - https://comancheclub.com/topic/57308-headlights-not-working-solution/ Still trying to chase down a steady oil leak and figure out if this red wire is for my running lights/amber? Its the harness behind the drivers headlight by the air box. Problems for another day.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Pete M Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 tech Qs should really go in the tech forum so more eyes will see it. also, why does that green w/stripe wire no longer going into the connector?

I will add them in the tech forum- thanks! Not sure, but there wasn’t a wire on the corresponding opposite side so I decided it was a problem for another day?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
