man of la manche

http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicle ... Z230238002 he also has it posted on a local jeep site, and was offering it to me for much less, but I have no room for it yet

if you mean the red one I got from you, i think it was an 89, I found a home for it, the new guy had the time and he dug into it right away and converted it to 4wd if you're referring to the black 88, then yes it is still up on dollies in my garage

yes, I got the red truck from lil loco, the eliminator is gone now, I gave it to biggwheels for what it cost me to bring it home the black manche will probably still be around in the spring, but as the ad reads, cash isn't the only thing I will take for it ;) 8000lb winch rolling tool cabinet 50 amp plasma cutter are all acceptable trades and I may throw in a few $$$ depending on the condition of the items coming back my way I would even take a good chop saw plus $$$ for the truck

I'll see what I can get later this weekend, just sitting in the office thinking about it right now. Keep in mind that the main leafs are new so a picture might not be all to useful in this case

Thanks, it could be possible that they p.o put a set of metric tonne leafs on it, despite the fact it wasn't enough lift

I think the p.o. accomplished some kind of half assed lift on the rig I now own by creating some kind of leaf pack, I corrected the lift by adding some drop shackles and getting some new main leafs built so everything is nice and even now, the rear end was lower before, and it is now about a half inch higher than the front So I was wondering how many leafs (or is it leaves) should be on a "normal" factory leaf pack on the 4x4 model? including the main leaf I have 5 on mine

I am still plodding away despite the fact I may have to sell it... The axle swap is about 75% done, I just need to redo the brakes and brake lines, but all of the hard work getting the old axles out and putting the "newer" ones in has been completed. I also found a local guy who builds leaf springs for large trucks. He built two new main leafs for me (I broke one of the main leafs taking out the old axle), and now that they are in with the newer axle sitting on them it looks like I will get another inch or two of lift in the rear, and it only cost me $160, much cheaper than getting junkyard leafs. Not quite new but better than used. Once the brakes are done I will get to work on replacing the floors.

thanks!!! the 2nd link is exactly what I was looking for

I have a set of 95 xj doors with power windows that I am going to put in my 88 manche, however, the power windows have a light blue factory tint and I would rather use the glass from my 88 manual doors can anyone tell me if the glass is the same shape (I assume that it is) and that the glass from my older manual doors will go into the power doors? does anyone have any tips on removing/replacing the glass in the doors?

Do I spy an across the bed toolbox? Is it metal? I "might" be interested.... you do see an across the bed toolbox, but its plastic, it is free, but it is in toronto

I put it in neutral and brought it home, barely going past 100kmh the whole way, it had been in my garage for a few days now, thanks for the advice

Finally got the time to take out the bench seat and tear out the carpet, and much to no one's surprise the floors are rotted: driver side (it's like paper) the passenger side is a bit better good thing I have some new floorpans coming on Friday However, its not all bad news, look what I got for free: 89 eliminator, 2wd the engine doesn't leak at all, but there is no interior, and the floors are about as bad as what I already have, but the "frame" is still solid the bed is in better shape than the black one so I am going to swap it over, yank the engine and tranny (its a pukeguts but it still shifts smooth), take everything else I need out of it to put on the black one and give the left overs away, all I hope to be left with is the cab and "frame"

neutral it is then this time tomorrow, I'll have two comanches in the garage

what's the world coming to when neighbours and friends help each other out? ;)

Thanks for the reply A tow truck is 200 the dolly is my neighbours and its free Guess the tow truck loses in this case
