tango68ss Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Hey fellas, noob here.. not to Jeeps, but to the MJ world. My Dad aquired this MJ years ago from a friend. 4.0, auto, A/C, 4x4. He started using it as his yard truck.. I've decided it will be brought back to road-worthy and cool! Looking forward to the journey! TC
Pete M Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 looks like a solid truck! welcome to the club! be sure to pull up the carpet and to get yourself the headlight relay harness.
tango68ss Posted June 29, 2019 Author Posted June 29, 2019 Thanks Pete M. Yeah, pretty solid.. got some rot in the floors, but not too bad. ,, A bit on the roof drip rail, but that can be dealt with.... Headlight relay harness? What's the dealie-o?
fiatslug87 Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Factory wiring has full power going through the headlight switch which can overheat and melt/start a fire. The wiring harness Pete mentioned has power running through relays that are activated by the headlight switch instead of power coming through the switch.
Pete M Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 they've become quite popular. 12 bucks and a few minutes of your time can prevent a fire and improve your headlight output. there's a link to an example in my signature.
tango68ss Posted May 16, 2020 Author Posted May 16, 2020 WOW! It's been a while since i updated anything... I've been real busy with work and other projects.. So i needed something to motivate me on the Comanche... I picked up some 15 x 7 TJ Canyons and put them on today.. Well, I am very pleased with the look and am now motivated! TC
Gjeep Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 Looks good...I’m running those on my 2001 xj, but know those are 96-98 grand Cherokee zj rims. Tj rims are 15x8 and the slot is more of an angular cut-out.
tango68ss Posted May 17, 2020 Author Posted May 17, 2020 Ah, thanks Gjeep.. The guy i got them from didn't know what they came off of. He said they were in the shed of the house he just bought. Also, they were only $140 TOTAL for all four, with tires, so i couldn't pass up on that deal... I just "assumed" TJ Canyon, since that is what i was looking for (not noting the small nuances). Yes, they are 15 x7s and i love the way they look on the MJ.
tango68ss Posted November 9, 2023 Author Posted November 9, 2023 Well, it's been three years and the MJ has been sitting in the yard, not being used... So, I finally dragged her out from under the tree; got her running; hauled her to the shop; looked at the underside and determined she is worthy of a rebuild... My real concern was a rusty frame. As it turns out, the frame is rock solid, just alot of undercoating "peeling" off... the floors are gone, but that's easy since the uni-body framerails are still intact... Now begins the journey!
Drahcir495 Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 Very nice. Love the look of those rims on a MJ too. Any new plans for it?
