Anyone got any good tricks to remove an oil pan that has been stuck to the bottom of my engine for over 20 years besides using a BFH? Or is that the only way?

Have the one for my 89. Bought one off a guy for the 87.

The 87. First pic did not show up in original post.

I have always been a comanche since my uncle had one about 15 years ago. Came across my first one when i buddy of mine picked one up from some drunk that was skipping town when he found out his daugther was actually his sister or something like that. You get the idea. Buddy got it cheap and he needed a 4 wheeler so I traded him a POS arctic cat 300 that had gone swimming a couple too many times for the pickup. It is a 89 LWB 2wd 4 cylinder. I drove it for awhile back and forth to school (30 mile one way) till one day something happened and all the oil in the engine disappeared :shake: . I still have the truck. No drivetrain, but the whole truck is solid. Scored a nice 90% rust free bed of a Missori truck that ended up in a local junkyard. (original bed was smashed and someone did some piss poor body work to it) Its been sitting for a couple years waiting for me to get time and money to put it together. This jeep is going to get a 97+ conversion. Next I ended up moving to Wyoming (MN resident now). Scanning CL like I always do i came across a 88 2wd SWB L6. The ad had been up for 3 weeks so i figured it was gone. They wanted 1100 for it. I went to take a look at it (200 mile drive) and liked it right away. 213k and no rust. Offered them 800 cash and went and picked it up the next weekend and drove it back to where I was living. Showed up at my apartment in a big cloud of smoke, (oil leakage issues) with a huge smile on my face. Just a couple weeks ago I picked up a 87 SWB MJ Chief. No title but 90k on the truck and so I'm told 60k on the engine. Engine does not have a speck of dirt or grease on it. Bad trans. Body is rusty but should make a good wheeler when the XJ is in the shop getting the Dana 60s. Traded a junk 94 ZJ for it. Holy man I like talking MJs. You guys have probably seen them before but here they are again: No pics of the 89 for some reason :( 87 88 The XJ in its current state:

Great to hear! We need more businesses with this kind of service in this world.

Besides the 3 mjs: 3.5 RE 31 STTs stock everything else also have a rolled xj for parts for one of my mjs. its not much to see.

Okay I don't think my pic is on here yet..

The 88 MJ and my 01 CTD: The Rusty 87 RIP

The 00 XJ: The 87 the day I brought it home: (still looks the same today, waiting for tranny)

amish place with a 3 "car" garage? :yes:

1987 4.0 with junk pukegoat, getting a AX-15 soon. direct swap or what do i need to know?

washers are coming off. who ever put those are there :shake:

looks to be a factory rollbar that someone welded washers too for cb antennas or something..

lost this thread for a bit. here are some pics. this is the day i got it in my possesion. 90k miles, 4.0, bad pukegoat, 231. This is going to be my little wheeler for awhile while my XJ gets the Dana 60s. Plans are 1999 HP 30 with arb, 2000 8.25 welded, 3.5 RE, 31 Cooper STTs and some other junk including a AX-15. Floors seem to be okay and undernieth its pretty clean.

My 1988 Comanche, 4.0 2wd, with 213k, get 20 mpg average. I drive 65 miles per hour for 20 miles a day, also an additional 20 miles at 55 mph. I always stick to the speed limit in all my gas vehicles. My 2000 Xj with 31s, gets about 12 on a good day. My Cummins, not like it matters here, gets 22 mpg average with my foot in the throttle all the time.

couple links i have found... http://www.jeepin.com/features/rearmain/ http://gojeep.willyshotrod.com/HowtoRearMain.htm I will be getting ready to do this in a couple weeks..... also replacing all the emission hoses that cause oil to get into the airbox.. http://jeep.off-road.com/jeep/article/a ... ?id=257985 Total parts= about 72 bucks at napa. I have a 88 4.0 this will be getting done on..

yep thats what I was thinking

Anybody of pics of a factory rollbar out of a Comanche? I just picked up a 87 Chief and it has rollbar, and I was wondering if it was a factory piece. Sorry I have not taken any pics due to rain of the one I have yet.

I run Rotella 15w 40 in my 213k mile MJ. I run amsoil in my XJ. Cannot remember which oil off the top of my head but I did do alot a reasearch. Its the oil in the blue and silver bottle.

I have a 4.0, 5-speed, 2wd and the most I have hauled is 2 snowmobiles on a trailer. It was kind of a long ride. It did not want to drive in 5th gear.

my buddy has one. ill see if i can get it away from him today..

I have been around for awhile and I do know a few of you guys from other forums. First name is Austin and i currently live in Eveleth, MN. 4 miles from the OHV sight in Gilbert, MN. I currently have 2 Comanches. 1 project and 1project/driver. I also have a '00 XJ with a 3.5 lift and 31s that I wheel mostly now. (2k miles the last year) My DD is usually a 2001 Dodge Reg Cab Cummins. Couple pics... :chillin: IMG][/img]
