Another 1987 Comanche saved from doom. Project TALOS


Recommended Posts

Probably going to be replacing the brake master cylinder hopefully that clears up the last of my issues on this. I still need a rear driveshaft that’s 2” longer than the xj one I have in it for now.

I’m still having issues with my brakes. Pedal is soft and goes about 3/4 way to the floor before stopping when the engine is running. Only guess is still air somehow stuck in the system somewhere. It has brand new hard and soft lines, new rear wheel cylinder sand brake parts , new pads and rotors, good calipers, and a new master cylinder.

So I took a break from that headache and started fitting some rear tj flares to the truck to make it look way better. Still have to do the passenger side. 2F7D4CA5-7601-457B-94DF-617B895AE456.jpeg.e0a627110f9b70168a1f4cd056d68972.jpeg37949526-0DFB-4429-A623-31F03DD74433.jpeg.b408dca4d0dfc00770e0157ca72a11ba.jpeg5542B440-83C1-4972-B851-FA155318FB12.jpeg.15fc9930a1408162cc5e015cb30ff4b5.jpeg

Today I changed the headlights out, replaced my driver seat buckle because it was broken, and installed a license plate light. 
I drove it to work this week and found out the rear shocks are too long and the windshield isn’t properly sealed so I have to get that fixed as well as figure out why my temperature gauge isn’t working.

I’ve been driving it to work for a couple weeks now. Brakes still aren’t right but good enough to drive it. My other issue I have going on is my temperature gauge doesn’t read at all. It cycles when starting the Jeep and I’ve replaced both temp sensors on it and no change. Next when I have time I’ll try another gauge cluster and see if it’s the gauge that’s the problem. As far as I know all my grounds are good

Nothing new for now. Haven’t had much free time. I do still need to figure out why my temperature gauge doesn’t work, have a new rear driveshafts made to be 2” longer, and my brakes are still soft when running but work well enough to daily drive it.
