won't be any decals or orange paint for this one (besides the engine paint). Although I have a 9 year old nephew that would think that was sweet. Dixie horn might be cool though :brows: Color will be 2004 chevy victory red.

So here's my other project for anybody interested.... 1968 Plymouth Sports Satellite. Brought home from Georgia in September 2003. It is an absolute dream come true to work on something with very little rust. Been a long time coming but finally making progress

my comanche with a 4.0 5 spd had 3.08 gears when I got it. Nice looking xj

Well here's an update on my sick renix. I rechecked the fuel preesuer and according to the fsm it was dead on. So I went ahead and ordered a new tps. Pulled the throttle body off and gave it and the iac a good scrubbing( truck had been having some erratic idle issues). I reinstalled the throttle body and adjusted the new tps and..................She runs great again!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana: Thanks for all the help guys. :bowdown: :bowdown:

Dang....I thought it was cold here. -10 here this morning when I got up for work. I was wondering if the old Jeep was gonna want me to got to work or not. She started right up though.....(made a lot of funny noises I never heard before). Now if shell just take me home again. here's a couple pics of the old girl workin again yesterday in the daylight.

:agree: Id go for the welderl and locker and then watch later for a good deal on some used wheels and or tires.

Yep....Bought those wheels with 4 new tires and a brand new spare for $50.00. Gotta love craigslist. :cheers:

alot warmer too.......

the meyers unit I run is all en e47 electic pump. ....has its own 12 volt motor that runs the hydraulic pump.

I LOVE the snow!!!!! $$$$$$$$$$$ :banana: :clapping:

Finally got to put the old girl to work this pat weekend. We got about 9 inches of snow on saturday/sunday and another 3 inches or so today. Didnt have the camera with me over the weekend but I did manage to snap a couple shots tonight. So here's my little dozer...lol for anybody thats interested.

I painted a 78 f250 4x4 one time for a buddy who was building it for his soon to be wife. Her family owned a dairy farm and she wanted a truck she could use on the farm. Turned out to be a nice truck.....4 inch lift,400m with a 4spd,4:10 gears with 33's, all new sheet metal. when I asked him what color we were painting it he said..."pink :ack: I guess." :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: He took alot of grief every time someone saw him driving the f2sissy.

befor and after pics are the same pic........because it looks exactly the same after the wreck as it did before. :clapping:

Figured Id be a nice guy last night and take the wife to work since the roads were kinda crappy. Fast forward 5 hours.... I'm sitting at the redlight waiting to turn into the shopping plaza where she works when BAM! I looked in the mirror just in time to let off the brakes as he hit me. Conclusion: Comanche: 1, two wheel drive lowered s10: 0. S10 had a flattened bumper broken grill and a wrinkled hood. I think he might have scratched the paint on my back bumper. I'll have to wash the salt off to know 4 sure. My truck before. My truck after

B...E...utiful....

for small area's, driveways, sidewalks, basic residential stuff there is no better plow truck than a Jeep. :agree: We have a 02 f250 at work for a plow truck. When it comes to plowing around stuff in tight areas I'll take the comanche any time. Obviously the full size truck works better for pushing deep wet snow but the old mj will still do the job.

looks like a pretty good deal...brightr backup lights are a definate plus if your gonna plow after dark..... I wired my backups through a toggle switch and a relay that is triggered by the factory back up lights. That way any time the switch is my extra lights come on whenever you put the truck in reverse.

Each state has their own laws but for the most part you definately want lights mounted higher than the blade. My factory headlights om my truck are completely blocked by the blade when its raised all the way. The plow lights look like theyre mounted really high but when you raise the blade it all makes sense.

Merry Christmas one and all......especially to those of us stuck at work.

Got my fuel pressure guage yesterday and checked the pressure in the fuel rail. 30 psi with the regulator vaccum line connected. 20 psi with it disconnected. So I guess now its on to the tps hope to swap it out this afternoon after work.

:agree: I ran an angle support back to the unibody just behind the swaybar mounts.......Has been working great for over a year now....just have to remember its not a bull dozer....lol

I ordered a new throttle position center today. It should be here tomorrow morning so well see what happens.

:bowdown:

Funny you should mention that. I have tried to check and adjust my tps twice now according to the method described in the fsm and its WAY off. Ive been hesitant to replace it because of the cost but I may just have to suck it up and order one.
