I'm replacing my rear shocks is there anything special i need to do ? or do i just unbolt and pull them off?
-
there has to be somone here in the half million mile club?
-
to my knowledge there is nothing against having right hand drive. it is however a pain in the arse to drive one till you get used to it. rolls royce only made right hand drive till i believe the mid sixties so most of the classic RR's are RHD. i doubt it is titled as postal .....logically wouldnt a british postal vehicle be left hand drive?
-
i forgot about the agrijeep. i didnt know that there were no pygmys left...wow! how about of the (and i say this tounge -in-cheek) more commonly available jeeps
-
What is the hardest to find jeep? I would think it would be the original jeepster or the forward control (I'm 27 and have seen one FC in my life)
-
this has shady written all over it. 1. this is not a postal jeep it is a cherokee Export model (postal xjs were all base model not sports or countries or even limited which...btw the limited wasnt offered in 1995 in the US ) 2. it is set up for british mot specs not usa (for example the fender turn signal). 3. britian uses imperial miles which (correct me if I'm wrong ) varys a little with what we use so the speedo would likely be off albeit only a little. 4. why are they trying to sell it in the usa? our exchange rate sucks in comparison to pounds sterling. That is why a $5000 at best xj is going for 11k 5. Import taxes ...need i say more. you won't recieve the vehicle till its paid! stay far far away from this one.
-
an FC is worth seeing up close and a good conversation opener. get him on our site ...get pete to give you some mags. and cards.
-
mine has 158k so i am somewhere in the middle
-
i though in pa with calssic plates you have to get it inspected...but not pa registration? the amount of rust is amazing i feel so overwelmed sometimes but like pete said ... if it didnt need the work it wouldnt be so fun...at least it isnt my DD.
-
calipers started working but when we put it up on the rack there was a hole in the floor by the rocker that i didnt see and the rear shocks are shot. so no passing inspection today...darn! days like today i feel like i may have bitten off more that i can chew as a beginner with this truck but i guess it will come in time.
-
I'm going to get my calipers replaced and I'm gonna try to get him to inspect it too. i patched the holes in the bed with aluminum tape, got a set of explorer wheels and fresh tires and after tomarrow hopefully working brakes and and an inspected truck mish me luck ....Lord willing ill have a legal mj tomarrow.....I'm hoping beyond hope.

how about jeeps own atlantic blue
-
i hope they build the gladiator....as it sits (beef up the frame). the removable doors come in handy, and i think that they would sell them as they come off the car carriers. and then ...maybe a full size jeep pickup based on the HD ram with nostalgic sheetmetal harkening back to the rino nosed gladiator?
-
yeah pete, i went that route with the shifter on my wrangler....it didnt hold. i like the welding the bolt to the top idea. old jeeps are fun, old jeeps are fun, old jeeps are fun,old jeeps are fun i love my manche i guess i figured i would have a road legal truck very soon ...oh well it is a project. BTW the junkyard by my house closed and i am trying to find out what is going to happen to the comanche ... they have the title for it.
-
the gladiator isnt production...its a concept. a production would most likely have a heavy frame. i would love a pickup based on the liberty....that would essentially make it a manche!!! but no to darken the day here but diamler didnt think there was money to be made on a jeep pickup. Cerberus is even more of a money grubbing company that has a bad habit of selling off parts of companies it buys.....this means our beloved jeep could end up being owned by a foriegn company. thats why i see it as not likely.....but i hope I'm wrong
-
we officially got to work on the manche tonite...the wheels were rusted to the hubs and the one of the lugs required a breakerbar and my wifes uncle standing on it! I got some explorer wheels and tires for it and wow does it make a difference with the bigger wheels. i thought the truck needed pads in the front....no no it can't be that simple, the calipers are siezed! then i couldnt get the oil plug out ....then my brother in law and I tried to put on my new hammer shift knob and the threads snapped off... now what do i do ? it seems like this truck hates me ! i didnt think sitting would seize stuff like this !
-
aint happening...they won't do a jeep pickup it would kill the dakota....which isnt doing well anyway
-
solid desert camo with black wheels, and instead of comanche badges print the name in military stencil with full complement of stencil..(i.e. No step stencil above each wheel etc).

blhtaz i wish my wife was like yours. hell id settle for her not complaining. good luck. just a suggestion, maybe make the the 92 a dd as they are getting rare. love them 92's
-
my wife hates my MJ she said "if i could break it i would" she hates that i talk about it all the time....let me put it this way i can only spend christmas/b-day money on it ...nothing from the joint account! my mom lent me the $100 to buy it which i think pissed her off (prob. why my mom did it). she calls it the rusty hunk of $#!&
-
its most likely a 360ci and is a pretty reliable engine with plenty of power ....it has been converted to fuel injection so i would find out who did it and base it on that.
-
The truck i spoke of is a j10 its on autotrader, and they want 8400 with 38k orig. but you should see this thing!
