Jesse builds a truck

[Jesse J]

little update. been swamped with school and a kitchen remodel. A few things got my rear bumper off and stripped down my bench seat because I'm gonna add headrests heated seats and adjustable lumbar support. and I'm making a custom headliner  

[MiNi Beast]

butt warmers are nice when run no doors. 

[Jesse J]

LOL yeah

Heated seats are probably in my blue truck’s future. That will probably happen when I replace the bench seat cover.

yes but the frame was also cracked and I'm gonna add adjustable lumbar support and headrests out of a wj seat. and the springs where sagged a whole host of reasons why I cut the rear foam out. my vinyl sample has yet to come from sms but once I order that I'll start sewing new covers. My dad used to work at a local shop that made really bomber backpacks and has a nice machine that I've sewn several packs with so.

succesful day at the yard found the trim pieces I need and a 10 slot black and a 8 slot chrome grill. I'm debating putting the chrome grill and headlight housings on mine let me know. will be going back for an ax 15 out of an xj to swap.

[89 MJ]

As much as I love chrome, I love a 10 slot more.

ah I agree the chrome pieces on the side and the top and bottom of the grill, the grill matches them.

[Jesse J]

well I didn't come home with a trans I figured mine runs and drives good I I don't want to mess around with it. maybe when I rebuild my engine. came home with some rotating quarter windows whitch wlll be nice

[MiNi Beast]

wait what? 

[MiNi Beast]

you better pull that damn trans missy.  

[Jesse J]

well I decided that it is just so much work right now. I could get another Comanche with a factory manual. Idk I think maybe when I rebuild my engine it would get a manual but not right now. sorry :/. got some rotating quarters for some airflow and a new drivers side pace of glass because mine is scratched and makes a horrible noise i don't know how I'm gonna fix that 

[jdog]

How's the weatherstripping around the bottom of the windows

[Jesse J]

it's ummm fine not amazing not horrible not very comfortable on the arms but it works

I know a guy who would trade a Colorado red 88 Pioneer with a 3 inch lift and an AX-15 for a metric ton MJ...

[Jesse J]

not right now lol

[jdog]

It could cause both issues your having with the window

[MiNi Beast]

pull the trans, use it or sell it and make some coin to buy more jeep parts.  trans easier to pull then install. half day work make few hundred bucks. just sayin.

oh yes good point. it seems to me that ( theres a pic at the top of the thread) the scratching looks to me like some metal on glass contact. it makes too much of a loud horrible noise that can't be caused by some old rubber

There's metal clips that hold the rubber on

[Jesse J]

Make sure to lube up the regulator assembly. That will help with rolling the window up and down smoothly. But you probably need new felts for the window. There’s also a tube in the door that is used to for lubrication of the regulator as well.
