87ComancheLB Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hello all I was at the local JY and I was wondering before I pulled the part if this will work. I tried to find the yr but it's too badly damaged. Also this jeep has a automatic and mines a stick, don't know if this really matters? cell phone pic's Image Not Found Engine been removed it's just sitting there all alone.

HOrnbrod Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hello all I was at the local JY and I was wondering before I pulled the part if this will work. I tried to find the yr but it's too badly damaged. Also this jeep has a automatic and mines a stick, don't know if this really matters? That booster/master looks like one from a 95/96 ZJ, which are identical to the XJ's of the same year. Should work fine on your 87. You'll have to grind down a spot on the booster arm if you retain you stock brake switch, of fit in a 91+ switch. Don't forget the alum spacer plate between the booster and the firewall. Stick/auto tranny - will not matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87ComancheLB Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Thanks hornbrod. I'm on my way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87ComancheLB Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Yep, 95/96 short rod should be an easy mod, got spacer, brake switch (just in case) $24.95 for each items, around $54 total. Looks like I can use some kind of adapters to the stock lines. Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Looks to be in good shape. If you retain your existing MJ combination valve like I did, just pick up a 24" length of 3/16" brake line, and you can bend new lines from the m/c to the combo valve reuseing the existing fittings. Of course, you'll need a tubing bender tool and good flare tool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87ComancheLB Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 Thanks for the tip! :cheers: I think I will do it your way, will makes it look more cleaner than using adapters. I do have tube bending tool but will have to buy the flare tools already got the stock booster out, tomorrow it should be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offroader461 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Here is mine: you will absolutly love the difference it makes...i plan on doing it again to my XJ here in the near future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87ComancheLB Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 That looks clean I like that. I also notice you have a different washer fluid bottle will that fit with a stock air box? again a lot cleaner look than relocating the stock bottle inch back but I don't see how it could be? My brakes are horrible glad to find this mod even with my boney tires, they suck! I can only imagine what it like with a lift kit. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the 1997+ washer bottle installed in the inner fender. I did a writeup on it here: http://www.comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5840&highlight= Frees up a lot of space.

87ComancheLB Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 This one I couldn't use the spacer (52008646 was in a automatic) it was too short, if I remove the spacer it was still a little shorter than the stock maybe by a 1/4 inch or more. I already cut it for the brake switch need to enlarged hole to use stock hardware. Comparing the lenghts. Image Not Found I didn't have to make any lines. The lines on the master cylinder was long enough after I re-bend with my pipe bending tool they bolted up perfectly. Image Not Found Still the brake is slightly lower than the clutch, well hopefully it will still be OK. I still need to get fluid and bleed them see how they work.

87ComancheLB Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 Well brakes are awesome now, compare to how they were. Great mod. Visited the local JY no luck locating 97+ wiper reservoir I did see one with fender cut-out was there, but still mounted on the drivers side. Found it on-line from the mopar site bit pricey, anyone got one FS? or know anywhere cheaper? I did email Rockauto see if they can beat the price. Can I just buy the bottle/filler neck and get the pumps at the JY or just buy new ones? http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getJointLocator&siteid=213674&chapter=&Sectionids=0,2580&groupid=51864&subgroupid=3903&componentid=6963&make=17&model=Cherokee&year=1998&graphicID=WB97250&callout=4&catalogid=2&displayCatalogid=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddzz1 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Go over to the classifieds at jeepforum. Look under the part out section. You should have no problem finding a takn there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjeff87 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Do you have an open or closed cooling system? If it's open, you can relocate the stock resivoir to the passenger side firewall area, right above the HVAC fan motor like I did. I've got some pics, lemme dig them up and I'll post them. It fits like a glove there. Cost = two pieces of wire to extend the pump motor wiring ;) Jeff edit: Image Not Found Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87ComancheLB Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Stock close system, right now it's just sitting in there wedge between the air box and MC, not bolted down, it's not going anywhere. I didn't want to drill new holes if I'm planning this mod, but I may have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
