I’m not following how running on propane means you have to change your oil less? There is still wear and tear( friction) happening while you are driving. I realize some oils are advertised as better or there are synthetics....am I missing something here?

I was wondering why you were having a hard time finding emblems.... you’re in Guam! That explains it. Military? Dependent? Local? Being stationed overseas I know it was less expensive getting sent items shipped to an APO address. Keep scouring our for sale section. Those items pop up there frequently! Good luck!

The whole socket is knurled though...we need some more background on that find Pete.... yours? Found it in a junk drawer?

Possibly from a tap set?

Well I’m hoping to get her a legit plate! I live in an area of the state where you have to have emissions. Long story short I’m going to attempt, again, to apply for another type of plate. I contacted my BMV and said I wanted to apply for an historical plate (these issued plates are exempt from emission testing... thank you!!!) Only requirement is that vehicle is at least 25 years old. Contacted my insurance, sent in required pics. Fingers crossed for a 32 year old Jeep.

Found this in the archives. Since you haven’t received a response maybe this will help you out! Good luck

All good bro!! I’m here to learn as well!

4.0 only? I have an 87 2.5 with the C101 connector. As far as I can tell it was only on 87 and 88 models.

Dumped a bunch of money into a suspect trans rebuild. Cheap Jeep? They are getting tires and new suspension components donated for free!!!!

This isn’t a how to, or another will this year XJ work with my setup. The question I was asked by Mama was how much do I think it would cost to swap my 2wd to a 4wd ? I’m not one of those guys that asks ‘So how much did you pay for your house?’ I really wanted to give her a legit answer. I’m not talking about half @$$’n” something. I’m talking about locating the correct parts and having them checked out and rebuilt/ refurbished. So ballpark figure guys/ gals what number am I looking at? 87 2.5 4spd bone stock. Thanks for any input.

Neat project! Subscribed!

Most of the pics here( including mine) were patching in floor pan areas. Maybe post some pics of the trans area that you are trying to repair. Some members may have faced the same issues. Maybe you can get away with using patch panel material. Whatever the case it will take a little time and effort to ‘massage’ these pieces into place.

They did some neat things with that platform. Personally I can’t see someone ‘Rock climbing’ that vehicle. Not saying someone wouldn’t, but a base model starting at 69k, I’m thinking the only off roading it will do is hitting the occasional pothole. Not being argumentative there because I do realize the vast majority of 4x4 vehicles rarely see anything but light off road use..( parking on the grass at your kids baseball game) I like the storage, the fold down tailgate, even the flashlight storage. They did mention orders already, just curious to see what their actual build numbers will be.

http://downeyproductsnortheast.com/sst-206041-jeep-comanche-6-short-bed.html I'm looking to get one as well. https://www.custompickup.com/shop/index.php?l=product_list&c=2904

Pete if my VCR wasn’t obsolete, it would still be flashing the time. I’m not real computer savvy, but could you break down what your asking so even a caveman could help

Excellent trade. Congrats. So a 2004 for the Jeep? Even up? How many miles on the 04? Minuit got it in the head... this does call for a ‘you suck!’ Nice find.

Right now fake news.... need pics!!!😎

Both of the above posts. Those fittings are capped off. There’s nothing to worry about.

I agree with the above. It’s clean, it runs and you can drive it without doing anything but changing the oil. Personally I’d ask 6 then go from there. You can ask the world like you want. If you’re in a position to hold out go ahead! I just feel it’s in the 5200-6 range. As far as AC? Not really a selling point for me. If I like your truck, I’m buying it. Like DZimm said, someone can always add the AC.

Keep looking! Sounds like that truck was overpriced by about $2000. Around here that sounds like maybe a $500 truck. I am from the rust belt. I agree with one of the above posters... go south or out west to look. Not sure what you’re looking for here though. A project truck? A DD? A rock crawler? A weekend driver? I think most guys woulda spent about 5 min. looking at that one. The condition of the inside of the cab speaks volumes. It always boggles me why people, when selling a vehicle, think that leaving a piling heap of garbage in the cab area is a good selling point. Another pet peeve of mine? When I hear something is either a ‘quick fix’ or ‘easy fix’. Nice inspection though, it seems you did a pretty thorough job. I think I woulda pulled up and drove away!

Surprised the post office didn’t catch that. I deal a lot with e bay and I know it will usually let me know if the address is no good.

Welcome aboard! It looks like you have a solid looking truck to work with. Plenty of members here to help and offer their advice. Just wondering what the seats and the console came out of?

Looks like a clean truck, especially since it’s been in Cali all it’s life. Just agreeing with what others posted above me. More pics if you have em. If you have a mechanic friend bring him along to check it out, certainly if it’s another ‘Jeep’ guy. From the cab forward you’ll still be able to find replacement parts around. Check your floorboards! Welcome to the club! What branch of service? Where are you stationed?

I know Collins Bros Jeep in Texas also do a lot of resto work as well. Some of the Jeeps they WILL NOT BUY are Cherokees as well as Comanches. Just wondering why? Resale market? I can’t imagine that. Looking forward to this build though! At least Dennis didn’t use his ‘Holy Grail!!’ line like he usually does on Fast n Loud.
