yea. starter bolts are for losers.

yea its been through here before. and before this gets lost in the "omg"s, let me say this: anyone willing to pay $2800 for a comanche with a salvage title is on drugs. yea, the dually flares and wheels are rare, but take those off, and youre left with a stock longbed comanche with a salvage title. idk bout whereever youre all at, but thats a $500 truck tops, plus another $300 for the dually bits

finally got the stupid taillight/blinker issue resolved; ended up being a combination a handful of bad bulbs, a few bad fuses, and a bad socket. I'm glad thats finally taken care of. also, got to puttin some rock lights under there last night. fronts are done, mids/rears will go on tonight or tomorrow. might do a quick shakedown, and then its off to Moab first thing friday morning; hitting the road around 5am to get there for a late morning trail run, maybe Hell's revenge? and then an afternoon run up something, and Fins'n'things night run :brows:

a Chief!

find someway to lose the hoodscoop (and use a stock hood) and loose the flashy wheels. yea i could get in alot of trouble with that

i *almost* had my MJ in the new Devin Supertramp FarCry4 promo vid, but i couldnt get that time off approved.

don't have a link, but just saw that the current owner (Mel Wade of Offroad Evolution) is selling the truck for $6000. mentioned that its got a pair of trussed dana 44s and a 4.7 stroker. from the current pics, its also got a sweet set of beadlocks and a trick lookin bumper mounted spare carrier, (i know there was a writeup on that at some point).

make it a '92 eliminator while youre at it

try this: step one: call bank, and make report step two: get money back step three: take your money somewhere else

a buddy of mine sent me a pic of a 95 s10 blazer he saw on an auction lot that had 880399.3 miles on it

the vehicle (according to the seller) had minimal damage. all cosmetic. I'm tempted to pick it up for a winter driver.

IAAI?

Looking at a vehicle, and according to the seller, the vehicle was bought back from insurance, and while it currently has a clean title, it will have a rebuilt title once the new owner titles it. Is this different than a salvage title? How does he currently have a clean title if he bought it back from insurance? Has anyone gone through this process? would you recommend doing the same (as long as the vehicle checks out)

if it wasnt meant to be, then it wasnt meant to be. there will be other trucks

"needs some TLC" I'm guessing that translates to: "its rotted out, banged up, bent in half, stalls out, is missing the even gears, and has a broken windshield."

a buddy of mine that was out there apparently got a few shots as well. its a local spot that is a somewhat abandoned gravel pit.

took the Chief out for a quick test session to try out the new gears and lockers. and i love it. didnt get many pics, and this is the only one that really came out. i need to trim the fenders more, and bump stop the front

started with Cooper 37s, but the kelvlar MTRs are 40s. So far, theyve been great, although i don't feel like i ve really pushed them that hard yet. they balance well, and run smooth at highway speeds. offroad theyve been great; only had one issue with some smaller rocks getting caught between the wheel and the bead, and causing a flat, but thats not the fault of the tire.

i think its time to start cutting more stuff off. i need to get more blades.

yea! it was nice seeing another 'manche out there. I think there were actually 4 of them up AF that day. Yea come on down; i'll PM you with my number

gonna be a blast! we're gonna need rock lights; fins'n'things night run, and maybe a hells revenge night run as well

yea i suck at this intarwebz thing, so in no particular order, here are some pics from the past few months out at 5mile. up American Fork canyon. on the way out to 5mile. denied. again. found another CC member up there, although i can't remember his username for the life of me right now; maybe redcomanche? and DirtEater strapping his front end back in place after he ripped a LCA off the axle.

just got the chief back from a buddy yesterday, where he was getting grizzly lockers and 5.38s installed, along with a pair of Solid diff covers. who's got two thumbs and is pretty friggin pumped? this guy. heading to Moab for thanksgiving and i cannot wait!

got about 6" of the white stuff up in the mountains last night, so we went out for a little drive. First time gettin my DD in the snow since i got it back in July. (btw, v8 + low traction situations = me giggling like a schoolgirl.) Anyone else been out in the snow yet?

yup
