  1. Hi I am in Portland and have a Comanche I need to sell. 91 with 4.0 6cyl, aw-4, and 4wd. I bought it and put a good used engine in it and haven't had time for much else. I have almost no off street parking and 5 vehicles for 3 people! :eek: I haven't advertised it. It runs and drives good but does have a couple issues that will need attention. Here is the short build thread on it with pictures. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=16937&hilit=redface . I need $1200 for it which is what I have in parts in it. Let me know if that might work for you.
  2. Comanche Part Out Vancouver WA CFC http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/pts/1454140261.html Very clean with lot of parts left.
  3. LWB Comanche is still pretty tight. Try an Extended Cab Toyota. You might as well be driving a semi!
  4. Looks like it has been sectioned between the cowl and rear wheels. The back looks like an older Toyota truck bed.
  5. The guy in the video is an idiot. The chance of what he describes happening is less than zero. Dealers are not going to risk a $100k fine and charges of fraud for a few $k of cash. Doh!
  6. Sounds like the emergency brake is rusted in the on position. I would pull the rear drums and make sure they are releasing.
  7. I was swapping out a 91 2 litre/AW4 for the 98 4 litre/AW4. I had to change the sensor on the tail shaft and the rear electrical plug.
  8. i believe the saying goes, "all your base are belong to us" ;) :rotf: been a while. hahahah You are correct Sir! :D
  9. We could tell you ... but then we'd have to kill you. Being a staunch conspiracy theorist, here's another thought that has occurred to me (yes, a thought ... they are rare, but they do occur): I hope all you are aware that the ECUs in new cars function much the same as the "black boxes" in commercial aircraft. If you are involved in a serious accident, the police can query the vehicle's "black box" to find out how fast you were traveling, whether or not the brakes were applied, and a few other tidbits of potentially interesting data. And, of course, the government is pushing to have the next generation of vehicle ECUs store and report even more data. Guess what? These so-called "clunkers" the .GOV is paying so lavishly to get rid of ENTIRELY are all old enough that their ECUs don't store and report that kind of data. That's just one reason why I intend to always keep an extra XJ and/or MJ around, as a replacement for if something happens to one I'm currently driving. Even if I have to keep putting Jasper engines in them, it's cheaper than buying a new car every few years at $30,000 a pop ... and I'll always have a bug-free vehicle to drive. I don't think it's entirely accidental that this program will "just happen" to eliminate thousands of "dumb" cars from the road, to be replaced by new vehicles that can be used to tattle on the driver. :agree: 1 million percent. that is 100% correct about new vehicle computers. ever heard of obd3, its in the works, and california is using a similar idea already i am told. your vehicles computer will be interfaced to satellite, under the allusion that is for emissions purposes. yes, you will recieve a message when your vehicle isn't passing emissions, and that politely worded message will tell you to go get your car fixed. i think it goes without saying what other info is in those daily transmissions of data, such as precise location, speed and so on. even without the ideas of global positioning without your consent, just the idea the government sending me a message to get my car fixed is all i need. i will never purchase a new vehicle. edit: on star is already a very small version. dealer's will be alerted if your check engine light is on, and they will send you an email, they will alredy know what the code is because it is already sent through on star. oh, and they will run a monthly diagnosis of the vehicle via on star. this was in my boss's new gm vehicle dvd when he bought a new car this year. i'm sure that sounds jim dandy to some people, not for me, leave me the F alone. It's official! Time for tinfoil hats! :help: do those work?? i'd like to buy your tinfoil hat. :rotfl2: Only if they have at least 10 layers!

  11. Not really "government" but the Supreme Court. A huge difference. I haven't seen much in the last 8 months that concerns me but I did see tons in the previous 2 terms that is scary.
  12. Just because something is in a TOS agreement doesn't mean it is binding. There are limitations on what is allowed. It might as well say "All your bases belong to us!" Sorry old nerd joke that most new nerds probably would not even get. ;)
  13. That's it! I am sending the Black Helicopters after you!!! :rotf:
  14. Nope just a TOS gone crazy. The Computer Nerd had too much Mountain Dew. Nothing to gather the pitch forks for! :D
  15. :doh: :wavey: :fool: HELLLOOO! McFlyyyyy!!! I don't think anyone disagrees that a lot of things these talk show guys rant on has some serious spin to get ratings, or at least that the more demonstrative any of those talk show guys are the better the ratings are. But this thread is about the GOV'T! claiming rights to any and all info on your computer if you log on to that site. As I understood it, it's not only a site for dealers to report trade-ins but a site that the public can access to get info about the program. So get off your soapbox about WHO is talking about it, it's the topic that we're talking about here. :shake: Hey Cheyenne, glad you thought the same I did about that Kimberly chick...........SHAAA-MOKIN! The TOS agrement is just stupid. Glenn Beck's ranting and raving is just showboating to get the conservative crowd in a frenzy. (Looks like it is working though!) He is good at at what he does but when all is said and done it is just horse hockey. P.S. You might want to get off the soap box yourself.
  16. LOL. :cheers:
  17. umm, how do you spin that? :agree: the video was about the gov't having full access to your computer, not him spinning an opinion on something?? :nuts: It is a web site for dealers to register the trades. So some 40 yo virgin went nuts on the TOS agreement. Big deal. But it does give Beck something to spin and ramble on about.
  18. Umm Beck is like Limbaugh. It is all spin to get ratings. The more outrageous and upset he is the better the ratings. Remember "GETTT OFFF MYYY PHONEEE!!!!" lol. That was at least funny. Hannity I can take even though it is similar infotainment. Oreilly is usually pretty good. Some spin but he tries very hard to limit it. On the Liberal side Thom Hartmann and Ed Shultz are good Like Oreilly there is still minimal spin/ I can't stand Randy Rhodes, Mike Malloy, Rachel Madow. They are almost identical to Beck/Limbaugh except for their political orientation.
  19. Man that was a waste of 5 minutes to view. I wish people would post it is a Glenn Beck episode so we could skip it. I have never heard that man say anything of value and I like listening to Liberal AND conservative talk shows. All he does is spin stuff. Well I guess it provides him a job.
  20. Read it in English class. Enjoyed it greatly. I love surprises in stories and that one is a whooper.
  21. Personally I like the regular grill much better.
  22. Nope. Car has to be running and driving when turned in. It can be barely running/driving though. My guess is external parts can be sold ie starter, alternator, throttle body, etc.
  23. Get ready to cry a whole lot more. 2 billion additional approved for program. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090731/ap_ ... r_clunkers
  24. Yep, ran through the money already. Smash hit it would seem. Now will they renew it?!
