Paging AMSOIL dealer Dr. w_howey... Jim, I would do it in a heartbeat, and not think twice. I've done it before. Rob L.

Well, I know handing out Comanche Club cards with my name and phone number would pay off eventually... Awhile back, I had gotten a phone call from a new MJ owner who got a club card with my info along with the title to the truck. Talked to him for awhile, and gave him some pointers. Never heard from him again. Then, a CL ad pops up with a Comanche being sold or parted with a D44 for $500... Called, and we got to talking, he remembered me. Went out to see it... '89 4.0L AW4 231 D30/D44, full skid package, hitch... But it was rusted out, and the frame rail was toast. The passenger side had multiple patches, and a zipper all the way down the side. I only needed the D44, and some random little things. Offered $300 for the whole thing, no dice. He had to get $450 for a new car. But, he would sell the axle out of it for $150. So I ended up buying the axle, the t-case and gas tank skid, dome lights, hitch, rear bumper (which is mint surprisingly, with no rust or bent up ends), set of matching Kumhos on XJ rims with good tread, and a very clean tailgate for $300. :D Works out good for the both of us, I get everything I wanted at a good price without dealing with the rest of the truck, and he gets to scrap the truck to make up the difference in my price. The truck: The goods: He was having trouble getting the gas tank skid and the hitch off, so hes actually going to drop them off at my work tomorrow as he runs the truck to its final resting place. Really nice guy. Sorry Don, guess the D44's are easier to come by up here. 8) The ol' horse shoe in the arse shines again. :clapping: Rob L.

Well, don't know what the hell is going on. I logged into the ol' email account, and checked the sent messages... Last ones sent were in 3/09... So if any of you get a message from automan2164@yahoo.com with only a link, don't click it. What's even worse is that someone has access to the address book. Sorry all. Password has been changed, let me know if you guys keep getting them. Rob L. :dunno:

Yeah, what the hell? Angela is getting them from my old email too... Weird... Rob L.

Direct, but be warned, that is a rare bird. Rob L.

3.4 swap will bolt directly in place of the 2.8, and will use or can use, all of its accessories. AX15 is the best, but will not bolt up to the 2.5L/2.8L engines. You can, however, find an older Dodge dakota that used the AX15 behind the 4 cylinder, and that has the correct bellhousing for the 2.5L/ GM 2.8L (60 degree V6 family). Rob L.

:dunno: I am booked this weekend. Rob L.

:popcorn: What did that run ya? Rob L.

All you guys are after the little red scratches... No one noticed the engine bay? Rob L. :dunno:

Don, (hornbrod) has them. I like the ambers better than the clears. Rob L. :cheers:

Its an '88-'89... They were the most prevalent years for the SporTruck, and I believe its one of them. The package was available 2, and 4WD, with any combo of drivetrain and mills. To the OP, go back and take a pic of the VIN on the lower corner of the driverside windshield. The 10th digit will be the year. Rob L.

Your local Junkyard. Seriously. Cherokees are great donors for a lot of the real common stuff, and when you do find a Comanche, you can grab the harder to come by stuff. Rob L. :cheers:

x50 bazillion. :waving: I am also in this boat Don. I say you pick it up and turn it into a full resto. I mean, Eliminators are rare, but I don't think they can hold a torch to the rarity of the Laredo. Not too many people wanted an optioned out work truck in the '80's. Buy it Don, and thank us later. Rob L. :cheers:

:clapping: Rick!!! Nice to see ya buddy! Sorry it sounds like life isn't going so well, but you should find some more time to spend here. Always brings my day up! Rob L. :cheers:

Sorry, :needpics: Rob L. :D

I think thats as good as it gets with valve covers. Rob L. :dunno:

Yep, they came in '90. Rob L. :cheers:

I have that exact harness in my donor truck, and its going to be coming out. I am unsure of the condition of it, because I got the truck with no trans, and it had some aftermarket gauges installed. I think it would be a savable harness. I haven't got around to pulling it, but hope to have the whole harness out by the end of the month. I'll sell you the whole thing, headlight to tail light. The truck is a 1987, 4.0L, Auto, 2WD, Metric ton with column shift. Shoot me a PM if your interested. Rob L.

No you don't. Fix it, and sell it before it blows up again. You don't need to be racing a car you should sell. Stop hanging out with that idiot. Rob L. :smart:

You have to get a video of this before you correct it. It sounds pretty weird. Rob L. :D

The digit inbetween the VIN and the serial number Don. Here is my old site to help out, go to the VIN decoder: http://www.comanchemj.1hwy.com Rob L.

Shame to part it out. Don't see too many laredo MJ's. Rob L.

That was filled with water... Not good. Who knows what else has been waterlogged. I would check the trans and the rear axle asap. Rob L.

You looking on the registration or the truck? I wouldn't rely on the DMV to get a VIN correct all the time. :shake: Rob L.

Hell yeah! Now you just need some black rims. :cheers: Rob L.
