  1. Havent done much to the truck. After the 1st of the year i will be doing some work on it. I'm looking at putting a tilt steering wheel in it, can i just get one out of a same year cherokee.
  2. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jeep-Comanche-Race-Truck-1998-jeep-comanche-race-truck-driven-to-1988-scca-manufacturers-/131033043150?forcerrptr=true&hash=item1e822d90ce&item=131033043150&pt=US_Cars_Trucks his is a 1998 Jeep Comanche Race Truck. This is Tommy Archer's 1988 Racetruck Challenge truck that went on to win at Lime Rock. Tommy sold the truck to Dom Papa and sat in Papa's dealership showroom among other such beautiful, low millage examples of Dodge, Chrysler, and AMC automotive history. It changed hands in the early '90s... it was moved to the showroom floor... battery disconnected... and it went for a long nap. Until this year, Dean Cusano Brought it back to life. The truck needed a new bladder in the original fuel cell container ( ATL still had the specs from when the truck was built in their records) , The Goodyears, as raced on were all dry rotted, so Dean just mounted a set that he had on hand - some Hoosiers.., a change of all fluids, replaced the cracked front spoiler with another that was new in a box in the back of the pickup bed, and a bigger racing seat as Tommy is kind of a skinny guy. The truck has been shown everywhere and ran the slalom event in the Papa's Dealership parking lot that was hosted by The Jaguar Club of Southern New England. Here is a video of the truck running the slalom: Keep this in mind that this is the real deal that dominated the series that year. The truck is in original paint, has all the original parts that were put there by the Archer Brothers, runs great (and revs like a dirt bike), and currently has 4400 miles on the clock. Yup... 4400 MILES!!!
  3. I saw a blue mj with a ladder rack and ladders on it today, on 96th street at a gas station by pepboys,, is the owner on this site,, it was a good looking mj
  4. Looks like he left is running, cause you see him put it in park and turn the key off, If he was smart and it seems he wasnt, he would have killed the motor before it hit water,
  5. On the bright side, There is no MJ's in the pic
  6. Thanks I will look for that one to.

    Jeep Book

    At the car show this past weekend, I talked to the owner of the 53 willys and he had a big book that talked about all the jeep models. but i can't remember the name and i can't find it online... Does anyone know of the book, It had every jeep in it.
  11. I'm in Indy. Been looking for a club or a group to get with or try to start one up. i don't go off road so most clubs won't take me in,, i mostly just take the mj to shows
  12. Well we took the MJ to the Indiana state fair today, for the open car show. only had 2 jeeps out of 110 car/trucks. I won top 25, both jeeps did.

  14. I would like to see how many MJ owners we have here in Indiana, and see if we could have some get together's...
  15. Looking for some info on the engine mount brackets on the engine of the 2.8. and any info where to get them.. I want to find out if they will fit the 3.4 chevy or a 4.3
  16. Sorry to sound dumb, I have been looking around and I'm getting confused, 1st If i did a auto swap can i just add a tcm and be ok? 2, stay a manual, can i use my ax5 or another ax5? 3 can i keep my rear axle and just add the front, I'm just having trouble finding what i will need ,
  17. Well I have decided to change some things up from what i wanted to do. Thinking adding 4wd, and a automatic trans, any advice on a trans that will work with my 2.5?
