13 Legion

Visiting new Grand baby in Colorado Springs today. What do I spy???… Hope everyone’s doing well! Even though I bought a JK, I’m still always on the lookout of an MJ!!! Plan on getting back into the game eventually. Still missing mine!!

So happy a ‘Jeep Guy’ is working on this project. This was my old 87. I miss her everyday… but excited to see someone taking her to the next level! Love all the progress so far!!

Sad moment last summer was selling my Comanche. I was at a crossroad and just stalled with moving forward. Bought a 17 Wrangler and that about sealed my 87s fate. Sold it to a local Jeep guy telling him this isn’t a ‘throw a few dollars at it and flip it.’ Fast forward to a few weeks ago. My buddy was on FB marketplace and said ‘does this look familiar’… It was my old Jeep in another location. I contacted the new owner and was pleased to find he’s building her!! He said he was a member here and has big plans with engine, 4x4 and new paint scheme. He’s been updating me on the build with pics. It’s good to know there’s so many of us out there with a passion for these Jeeps. I’m still lurking around these pages. I will own another Comanche one day… I promise you that. Take care crew.. 13 out.

Spotted this in Dyer, In. Unicorns around this part, beat up or not.

71/2 year update. My steering gearbox was shot. Replaced. Problem solved. Humble brag.😎

I was there as well. I posted some pics and vin in the registry. It was picked over already.

Beautiful truck no doubt. What does one do with a truck like that? It sits in a garage, climate controlled like a time capsule. You take it out ( prob trailer somewhere) to a few shows a year. It’s kinda like a trophy. It sits on a shelf somewhere collecting dust. What would you guys do with it? No I’m not saying turn it into a 4x4 and take it trailing. Just wondering would it sit in your garage?

Ironworker in Chicago. We’ve worked the entire time. It’s business as usual. The social distance thing doesn’t really adapt to my line of work. Nobody in our gang has gotten sick. We rely on one another so we trust if someone is sick they don’t come in. We have masks if we want to wear them so it’s an option if you feel the need. I would say the majority of people going past our job are wearing masks.The ‘essential worker’ thing is thrown around a lot, as that pertains to us. I’m bolting up a railroad bridge. Thanks to all our police, fire and hospital staff who are risking it.

Thanks to EagleScout yesterday for your help. Swapped in new plugs, breather and air filter. Checked and adjusted TPS. Condition still exists. Sounds like a miss when running.( New cap, rotor and wires as well recently) Engine seems to shudder. I’m leaning toward more of an engine issue then sensor. Presently plan to pull off valve cover and check valve springs for any damage, to maybe explain a valve getting hung up or inoperative. I may end up changing out valve seals because oil is still getting into combustion area. I haven’t ruled out rings yet. Like I said earlier for it to be solely the rings, every cylinder would have to have failed since all 4 plugs were oil fouled. At 140 on the engine I can’t imagine this to be the case. Will post more when I uncover more! 2.5 Jeepers Creepers😎

06 Honda Civic. I drive way too many miles depending where my job is at. Great gas mileage, but I do take a lotta heat for driving it. I bought it used so I didn’t have to hear the money went to Japan line.

I’m not sure what year your truck is. I have an 87 RWD No cruise. I ordered one from RockAuto. Not sure if you’ve removed your old cable yet. If you do the part number is printed on the cable, closer to the cluster. The attachment to cluster is different depending on year I believe. Mine has a clip that you squeeze in order to attach. This is the one I ordered. Works fine.

LKQ Blue Island, IL. 89 4.0....already picked over. Missing(taken already) rear lights, tailgate, B pillar lights, emblems, side cab covers. Was listed as 2.5 that’s why I went to take a look.

Thanks Eaglescout for your help. I’m gonna pop off valve cover and inspect but most likely change all valve seals. I will update this post later to see if this rectified my problem.
