RIP Don!

Very very true... I nearly shot the thing multiple times over that... or the rattling exhaust or knocking lifts/rods or the transmission and engine that were both about ready to go... Maybe I don't miss it so much afterall :rotf:

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't keep an eye on Craigslist... all the "beaters" have been in the $3.5-$5K recently... If I can get one for the right $, I might... I also told the buyer of mine that if/when they decide to sell, I'd like the opportunity to buy it back if I could.

Hey All...It's been a while...as is often the case when those of us decide to sell our Coman-che's (Dash added on purpose :fs1: )...I miss it, and wish I hadn't sold it, but that's the way it goes. I still proudly wear the Club T's and Sweatshirt and still pass out a card or two when I come across another Coman-che. The 98ZJ 5.9L has been pretty good, and the wife drives it most of the time now... no big issues at 145K, all small stuff really. And I still have the 99TJ, going to go back down to Johnson Valley in a couple weeks for my 2nd trip down there before the Marines close it down...here are a couple pics from last Aprils trip.

Aw Heck Eagle, I don't know that I ever broke 15mpg on my 4.0 MJ... I get that all day every day with my 5.9L...95% "around town". You can talk all the bad you want about the 5.9, but doesn't mean it's so. :cheers:

I live comfortably :D D I don't do bad either...Just that damn mortgage killing me and getting in the way of Jeep projects! I got a big pile of bolt on parts that I have waiting to installed on my 5.9...Just waiting on the new Vanco 16" Brake Kit!

How about an MJ with a 5.9L under the hood? That's my next project. You got too much time or money, or both Tim! :cheers:

Hey JT....Good you see you on again.... you can't take it with you when you die...Goes for Cash and Comanche Parts... I'd sell it to someone you know will get use out of it if you can...if you can't find that person, get a tarp. But I'm the guy who sold out the MJ for a Family Wagon (5.9L ZJ) so my opinion probably doesn't count. :D Wade

that pic looks a little Range Rover ish...

Welcome Nick! Enjoy the MJ! :cheers:

Up near Vacaville,CA I think... Father in Law of a fellow 4x4Club member has a ranch up there and a collector of many vehicles. Vacaville, great maybe I'll see it sometime, it's the next city east. Do you know if he has other Comanches? Fiat...You interested in the SWB Roll bar it had on it? Talked to Son-in-law today (4x4Club Member) and he said the roll bar is going away for a Topper... might be able get it away for cheap if he hasn't dumped it already. I have his email and phone # if you were interested. Wade

Do you know if he has other Comanches? Don't think so... has a bunch of classic 60's Muscle Cars and such...not sure all what else...

Most of the few that I had left were in the Glove Box, and ComancheClub.Com sticker left on the back window!

ByeBye MJ... it was fun while it lasted :cry:

I'm in no way tied to Hanson, other than I used to own their TJ bumpers (and liked them) and follow them on Facebook...Looks nice, kinda pricey (like much of their quality stuff). ***NEW*** Hanson Offroad Rear Jeep Comanche MJ Bumper (PN# JMJ4002) is available on pre-order status. They are $499.00 and will be available on our website here in the next few days

Roll Tide, Don! Happy New Year! :cheers:

Thats the one with BY FAR the most $$$ into it!

Pics of all 3 of my Jeeps, Just because I could...

I got a reply over on JeepForum that said my sticker was the last emissions flash and not the "death flash"

Good thing I only drive it a couple hundy miles a month... I did fill it up (with 91 Octane) when I got home and it was about $70 (3.50 something a gallon). Any way to tell if this is it, 2 stickers, one under hood, one on PCM, same # on both.

Thanks...and Nope!

Well, I now own 3 Jeeps, at least for a while... I went and picked up a 98 ZJ 5.9L today...still have the MJ and haven't heard from the dude who wanted to buy it...maybe I'll find somewhere else to park the MJ for a while and my wife will forget that I own it still... out of sight, out of mind! :cheers: If it's dry tomorrow, I'll line up my TJ, MJ and ZJ in the Driveway tomorrow and get some pics.

Only 15,000 of the 5.9's were made and only in 1998...makes them more "rare" than our precious MJ's :D I'm shopping at some 5.9's now, and prices are $3K-$7K around here... Going to call on 2 tomorrow to hopefully go look at. I don't think i'd pay more than $1500-$2K depending on much much the head work would be in parts and labor, IF the rest of the body and interior were still in pretty tip top shape. Again these are Cali prices, so possibly inflated depending on your neck of the woods.

I'm 99.9% sure it's vBulletin...
