And another MJ came home too. 1 hour ago, Jesse J said: Looks like christmas came early in the form of a NOS tailgate please explain Christmas did come early. I suppose I can tell the story. So I’m just scrolling through the Facebook and I see a post on the All Things Jeep Comanche Facebook page. The ad said something song the lines of NOS Jeep Comanche tailgate in box. $550 in Southern MN. So, I figure, what the heck, I’ll send the lady a message. Turns out she’s an hour and a half away from home. This lady tells me that she has a Comanche for sale too. Ugh, I don’t really need a project, but I ask for details anyways. It’s an 88 with a sportbar and a rust free bed for $1,000. So I decided to go look at them. And I brought them home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 We got it to crank over, but I ordered the wrong flywheel for it. Hopefully I can get the right flywheel put in in the next few days and then I'll be able to start working on The Ugly Truckling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few things I want to replace down the road (windshield washer bottle, fan shroud, air box to throttle body air thing), but I am happy with it for now.

eaglescout526 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I mean if you knew your way around the Renix harness and could add the fuse contact into the box that would trigger the low water fluid light, you could do the later style bottle swap.
