That would be great. Is the Jeep an '01 like your profile page says? If you go to your account on Amazon you should be able to look at all your purchases.

got the hood pulled into mostly the right spot( its as close as itll get, and im ok with that) , cleaned out and vacummed the cargo area out, washed the air filter, cleaned out the washer fluid squirters

thinking about swapping radiators to a passenger side inlet/outlet and swapping back to the OE 5.3 water pump so i can redo my intake setup. its funky cause the current driver inlet interferes with the intake tube and it force the tube into the serpintine belt if i dont zip tie it back.

if i switch it'll clear out that space and give me a straight run for the intake tube...but the rad i want is 350$

Discovered I didn't reconnect the aux fan until my AC stopped during a drive today :facepalm:

For some reason I thought that would trigger a CEL. Oh well, guess I'm the idiot light tonight.

Black accents, yes, but the D-windows i ordered will get painted to match, with black lugs & centercaps.

Im getting excited to get her wrapped up paint wise, finally starting to see her take shape!

Yeah, the Comanche could really use some of this paint that's being thrown around.

LMAO, well golly you make it sound so easy.


Seriously though, aside from the many reasons i love XJs... This particular project hits my soft spot. This poor girl was bound to end up in a boneyard.


Now she gets to be somebody's pride n joy again.

Mine.

Im getting excited to get her wrapped up paint wise, finally starting to see her take shape! Funny you mention using black lugnuts and centercaps ! I just got a set of American Racing AR23s in Aluminum Clear Coat. I was wondering how they would look with the black hardware ?

Honestly, me too.
My Curt trailer wiring harness causes current back-feed which causes the turn signals to dimly illuminate when I apply the brakes. Removing it solves that issue.
Next issue, even with a Novita electronic flasher, I still get hyperflash when changing out all turn signal LED's. It is fine until I replace all 4 in the front - then it starts hyperflashing.
With the side-marker LED's, despite buying polarity sensitive LEDs I still have an issue where the signal does not illuminate unless the headlights are on. Then they flash like normal.


I am going to bite the bullet and just buy a few load resistors. 99% of them are a fire hazard, but the V-LED's ones are high quality and look safe.

I might try that Hopkins trailer adapter though, my Curt one doesn't work properly and most of the time I have to fiddle with it to get my trailer lights working.
I think with some load, all of the above will be mitigated. Unfortuantely I think it will require ~$60 worth of the vLED's resistors though

Could you put a diode on the trailer harness?
