jeep pic test

I always knew what a Comanche was since I was 5 years old. My uncle had a RED swb 4x4. I remember riding in that truck down to the lake threw all the mud puddles and such. He got divorced and the x got the truck. She destroyed it. The Comanche bug stuck in my mind for a long time after that. My Grandparents gave me a rusty 89 XJ for my first vehicle. So i was always the outkast at school being the only on who drove a Jeep. I was at the gas station one day and a buddy of mine came rippin in the parking lot in a 1989 LWB 2x4 4 cylinder Comanche. No one besides me and him knew what the truck was. I told him that night if he wanted to get rid of it, I was the first one he should contact. He just thought it was just another pickup. It was very clean. A couple months later I was looking to sell my Arctic Cat ATV. He told me he would trade straight up for the Jeep pickup. That night, 30 below, I was out trying to get the wheeler loaded in the pickup and I was off to bring my new Jeep home. That was almost 5 years ago. He still regrets trading to this day! I still have the truck and its awaiting a drivetrain and front clip. I bought a parts truck for the nice box and he ended up with the rest of the truck so I guess it works out. He put my old box on my old parts rig and its now sporting a ford 300-6 and 4 speed on 35s. I currently have 3 mjs. (one extemely rusty mj is going for scrap tomorrow) So I have 2 rust free comanches now. actually it the comanche with the box sides off in my avatar thats going in for scrap tomorrow to fund my other comanche project.

ignition, spark is what I would check for next.

Personally I would go for the eliminator. :yes:

probably bumped the switch in the rollover

i had a 1987 Comanche with a 2.5 and a 5-speed. it was always hard to get into second. all the other gears worked just fine. tranny is now in cherokee so i get to deal with it again. overall it was not too bad and you should not "hurt" anything too quick.

very very nice!

i own a CJ10a aircraft tug. they are cool little units. trading it for another unibody tho

i bought a sticker to replace mine on my XJ. Its the sticker designed to go on the tub stamping of a wrangler. Got the American flag one.

lookin great!

yea. I'm from MN and i went to a pull a part in wyoming when i lived out there and was warned to drive a vehicle there with wyoming plates so they don't up the prices. i think i paid 70 bucks a piece for rust free fenders for a 92-96 ford. I didn;t think that was too bad at all.

30 bucks a month for all my Jeeps. 2000 XJ and 1988 MJ. 21 years old. 2001 Dodge with full coverage is a different story :shake:

:brows: :brows:

I've hauled a Skidoo summit 800 on a 3500 pound with my 4.0 pukegoat. 70 mph no problem. I've hauled a yamaha 500 touring sled in the box of my long box 2wd with the 2.5 5-speed. No problems what so ever. Actually my f-150 at the time would sqaut with the sled in the box and the comanche ran level :dunno:

i would light up there feedback with all kinds of not nice things for sure :mad: . after they make it right. (if they do)

i just read threw your whole build thread.. makes me wish for summertime up here in Northern MN. My 2 Comanches are stored in the wintertime. It was interesting to see its trasformation threwout the couple YEARS this build thread has been going. Sweet man :banana:

yup. gonna be a daily driver, so I want the part time/full time option. the shifter will then read 2wd full time part time neutral 4 low you have your full time and part time reversed. :D 2wd part time full time neutral 4 lo

totally agree. what is this world coming too? should have the nuge or hank jr. as Mr. P.

http://www.jcroffroad.com/Merchant2/mer ... y_Code=MJB I kinda like this one. Simple one to build.

boy this ended pretty quick with that last "parade" pic.

ah thats where that comanche went! have fun with the truck.

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

i still have the truck itself but it still had the 2.5 in it. (now it sits waiting for a 4.0) I started and drove 30 miles to school for 2 weeks with it in -30 temps in Febuary. Never had much of an issue starting. I don't think i have ever had a jeep that had issues starting at all. Just need to have a strong battery i think is the key.

dude i think you just scored big time with her!!! :bowdown:

i've used wix on everything i own including my cummins diesel. I have a wix on my Renix XJ now and it seems to be alright. I do have to change the oil soon, and i bought a actually mopar filter for it.
