:headpop: Why can't you get comanche parts from jc whitney but you can built an entire cj7!!!! :headpop:

is this the floreffe fire dept? they had 2 brush trucks one of which was a chevy. the other was a 72 ford 250 with a 289 underhood. id sell my wife for that truck

wow

rigid....are you a glutton for punishment?

they had interior picks when it was on auto trader it has buckets and 65k on it,,, from what i saw id buy it in a heart beat

I found the 1992 it is on [/url]http://www.automart.com punch in comanche any year and any distance it will show up!

odd situation actually, i am from Elizabeth lived there most of my life then i got married moved to tallahassee, then a year later moved back to pa but to Ellwood city which is in the southern tip of Lawence county. Which is where my wife is from. on the motorcycle front i totally agree with what your saying. my sister in-law's ex boyfriend bought a suzuki crotch rocket, he never even sat on a bike! then he started riding like an a$$hole once he got the hang of riding(i.e. passing on the shoulder, riding without a helmet while he still had a permit). i learned to ride on a dual-sport and borrow my uncles 883 from time to time. I know Harleys just from my uncle and my dad having them and i know the Harley story and the brand heritage i have been to york and toured the assembly plant. I can't afford a Harley, but i would love a Fat boy. Why, because its the sound, and the spirit you can feel when you ride a Harley. there are people out there (these would be the aforementioned yuppies) who want a Harley just to show off or feel like a biker when they are around their friends. believe me we are on the same page now.

wahoo, i think you misread me. i am not advocating Marxism here, i have no problem with people making a profit. The problem lies with the people that by them(cj's, wranglers, etc) to use purely for the street just because it looks macho or buy them for their daughter because she thinks its "cute" or she will look good in it. And I'm not saying if you don't wheel you aren't a jeeper. It makes sense not to wheel if you can't afford the repairs if you break something or just don't like it. Jeep has more heritage and capability than just wheeling. Don't get me wrong people have a right to buy with their money whatever they want for what ever purpose they see fit. That is one of the reasons so many have died for this country. But, I am not one to sit here with my mouth shut while my beloved jeep brand is turned into a junior hummer yuppie pleaser. Power locks and windows? ... a four door?...Nav system? why, because people complained that the wrangler wasn't comfortable enough or posh enough. For the love of peat people, buy a Hummer if you want that crap. and leave my wrangler alone. most of us here (i feel i speak the truth) love the MJ and jeeps in general because they are tough as nails, go like hell, are predictable, and are simple and reliable. I use the wrangler as an example because it was the last Bastian of true jeep-ness for the longest time, simple as they come. So if you suck the simple out of a wrangler, make it ride nice, give it all the electronic goodies and make it wider and longer.....what do you have? a wrangler in name only. I am also not vilifying the rest of the jeep line as they all have their place. The Comanche, as it is a pickup truck is not necessarily a "wheeling vehicle" unless modified somewhat. So i can't say anything about someone who buys it just to look macho. this as i have stated ..albeit confusingly..is my issue. as far as Wheeling goes hell, mine is 2wdso you know that won't be happening! I know what i have. being in the car business most of my young adult life. you have to sell it for what its worth and at the end of the day it is still (despite the nostalgia) a 20yr old pickup with 158k on it. :roll: but that is my opinion.....

me and the wife. my name is Ian and hers is jenny

I'm looking for a short bed that is rust free and little or no dents, I'm in pittsburgh and I'm looking in the 150 to 250$$ range.

After all PT Barnum said "there is a sucker born every minute." don't get me wrong, i don't think that they are wrong for making a profit. i guess my problem lies with the person who pays more for a 28 yr old cj7 than a brand new JK, then takes it home and makes it a garage queen. too many of these people wil keep the cj out of the price range of the average working joe. Kind of like what happened to the flatfenders for the most part. but when people buy jeeps as collectors just to say they have one. they arent real jeepers they are no different than the yuppie who buys the H1 that never sees dirt. To know the brand heritage and to love the jeep for what it is is different. most people like this aren't willing to pay the extremely high prices @ Collins brothers or the place in Calif. I love Comanche's, I have wanted one since i was a kid. But, if you put a 1992 Lwb 4x4 4.0 with 1,500 miles on it and shiny paint in front of me then ask me for 25 grand of my hard earned money, I'd tell you to take a walk. I plan on restoring my MJ but it will see lots of use when its done. and if its perfect i may ask 2 grand for it

over the course of my browsing i saw a web site that said they actually made 800 in 1993 if i can find the site again ill link it

i saw a 1992 Lwb 2wd 6cyl auto on auto trader the other day... it was a thing of beauty at on 62k miles ...literally 1 day then it was gone. If my wife hadn't threatened divorce i would have gone to Columbus and traded my 98 s10 for it in a min. Are the 1992 models that ghost-like? Why are they so hard to find.?

Ok well, i just changed my insurance to 21st and they insured the manche along with my other 2 for $400 less than what i was paying progressive. so that being said the first half or making my truck road legal is done..... now, if i can just get it to pass inspection we are good to go then the ball can really get rolling here! i have a couple lines on a bed. two people on the forum have beds and i found one in a boneyard near me from florida ...it just has one dent.

i have seen it. It has under 1000 miles on it which makes it as valueable as its sticker price.. maybe, i mean .. it is still a used car. Collins Bros. has some gorgeous jeeps but, they are quite a bit on the pricey side look at some of their cj's. my cousin sold them a 10k orig miles cj7 it was triple gold with gold eagle package, 8 track player, Levi's interior, factory sunroof in the hard top, and to top it off it had a 304ci v8 with 3 on the floor. They drove to Pa from Texas to get it. and gave him 12k for it. They then did jack $#!& to it and sold it for 25k. That is why i wouldn't deal with Collins brothers.

i believe so, I found the pilot wrench handy, especially on my wifes escape

great site if you havent already been there http://www.kalecoauto.com

the new guy is praying for you

saw 2 cj8's in the junkyard yesterday. its kind of a bummer to walk into the jeep section. some of the jeeps didnt even look like they were ready to be there. It also stinks that in pa once it is salvage you can't bring it back. they had (literally) a pile of cj's a ton of cherokees and grands..even a couple liberty's but no useable comanche parts.

no problem

my buddy and i worked long and hard to fix my brake light problem ....pete youll get a kick out of this... the switch came unplugged!!! so i have a fresh set of brake pads and some parts to fix the exhaust leak and now working brake lights! I'm just about set to get it inspected so it is mobile! all i need is aluminum tape for the holes in the bed and tires (probably the junkyards finest rubber for now. ). oh yeah BTW does anybody know where to get really obscure mopar parts...my buddy is fixing up a 78 dodge charger. (it looks like a 76 cordoba)

yeah the problem is some of us are (i speak for myself) mechanically semi-retarded. i don't own a TJ (if i could i would) and a $10,000kit + $5000 install on a lets say $12,000 used Rubicon adds up i'm betting if they make the jt it will start under 30 which... given the warranty and 0 miles, would be a better investment. now...if i already had a TJ that would be different!

why...oh why do they tease us!

I'm getting conflicting reports about the jt 1 some sites say it is to test the publics reaction to a jeep pickup...I thought that was the purpose of the jeep gladiator concept. 2 others say it is a one off custom. 3. yet others say it is a production ready vehicle. i hope it is built ... i already told my wife that if it comes out .. we will have one!
