ComancheHungry

Man ive been a way for a while and ive missed all this! I know most of you guys know i didnt have a comanche yet and so while i was away i had my buddy jump on this sweet deal so i got a 2000 cherokee it was listed at $2000 and i wanted it. A 2 door that looked great with only some small surface rust and unfortunately no rockers... But it won my heart so i sent my buddy to get it and see if he could haggle on it and low and behold my buddy haggled him down to $850 i was shocked and awed. But then while i was still away i get a call from him saying he didnt have a ride home from the bar so he decided to drive the jeep home... I think most of you know where i am going with this. He hit a tree... I was devastated and not having the jeep insured or registered i was thankful it wasnt with another car. When i got back i saw the horrible look she gave me and my buddy told me he didnt go to the hospital or anything and that his buddy was driving and seeing my buddy's face imprint on the windshield i asked if he was ok and i then had to reopen his cuts and remove the remaining glass out of his head... Anyways ive been working on it got it running again so now all thats left is cosmetic stuff. I know the anticlimactic part is there a no pictures not yet at least i left my phone in my friend's car so sometime this next week ill have pictures posted so until then give me more stuff to drool over!! -comanchehungry

I want to add that i love cherokee's as well so everyone feel free to add pics of those too! The more spank bank matreial the better!!

Right now i have $300 saved ive had 2 paychecks so far after being unemployed for 6 months and i threw $150 from each paycheck away. I have a buddy who will cover the brake parts that i need as long as i pay him back and pay him to install them for me. (I'm still learning mechanics) ive been stuck being the grunt boy for 4 years now and i will be studying at uti doing auto diesel and industrial so i hope to learn more from there. But yeah i got another paycheck coming in another week and a half so i figured then id see if he would take my offer. I mean i already have a truck thats my dd but this is like my wet dream to have an mj so.. Yeah I'm pretty sure everyone else here is on the same boat.

Well the reason why it isnt selling is becaue most people here in illinois don't want a truck and when they do its only during the winter and they don't wanna do any work to it at all. For 2 winters now ive seen the same red dodge ram 1500 bought by someone right before winter sold to someone else right after winter and then bought up again right before the next winter and i just saw it sold a week and a half ago

Yeah the same one you mentioned earlier because i keep seeing that one and the price dropped lol once i get another paycheck ill give him a call

Or you can just go on craigslist > illinos > rockford > then its the 1988 jeep comanche on their twice first for $800 now for $600

1988 Jeep Comanche--running 2.5, 4 speed, 2wd, short bed. Nice project truck, getting very hard to find these. solid cab floors, truck has some rust but not bad--have seen much worse. At this point I know it needs a rear brake line and exhaust. If I finish the work to make it street legal I will be asking much more for it. Please call with questions or offers. 8one5-87one-746two NO TEXTING---You will not get a response. I am making this a cash offer for this weekend. $600.00 This is a great price for a collectable truck. P.s. how do i add the pics?

So I'm hoping to have an mj by the time summer starts and also to have all the mechanical work done on it to get it to a good running stock truck. But i want to meet some of the other mjers on here and see what everyone has in person so if your near illinois or plan on coming over the summer why not set something up? Maybe as the time gets closer we can all agree on a date in maybe mid june? Some feed back would be awsome from whoever is interested!

Mine is ment to show off your mj and any really good looking ones aka my mj spank bank so i don't have to reread everyone's build thread for 6th time now just to see pics..

Man your trucks are awsome! On your build for the other truck (the one you "killed" twice and ressurected it) i read every post. It was like a novel i couldnt stop reading i loved it and i love that truck! I can't wait to see what you do with this one and once i get my truck and do some nice stuff to it i gotta come out there and see how it compares to yours!

Oh man these all look amazing! I'm working on getting a drawing done of my dream truck with ideas that i love from all of your guys' trucks! Hope its alright but once the drawing(s) are done they will be posted for everyone to see and judge however they so choose! I can tell you guys tho i will not be herculining my entire jeep nor will i paint it if the paint job is original and perfect!

Oh man i love coming back from work to see all these photos waiting for me! And feel free to use my mj spank bank term i havent copyrighted it yet. Man i would give my left nut to anyone who would just take me rock crawling with them in their mj... Might be some stains in it after we are done but thats besides the point. ;)

Ahh jimoshel yes your the one with the 8 comanches! I have only enough plans for 2 maybe 3 lol. What could you possibly do with 8 of them?

Minuit yes this all goes into my mj spank bank and i cannot fall asleep without reading 2-3 build threads.

Most of these are new to me andball i have to say is wow.. To each one of them from the clean sharp brand new looking ones to the rugged dirtness that can otherwise be described as manly to the fear shocking beefyness of these. They all look great and i can't wait to see more and one day my own!

Hey everyone! I don't know if any of you guys read my topic but basically i can't but my mj yet... :( but i can still drool all over your guy's photos. Now i think i may have already read or seen everyone's build thread by now. However, i do feel like it would better everyone is we had one thread with 1-5 poser pics or just general mj pics from everyone. I know id love it :) So let me know what you think and if not ill reread all the posts again from the beginging lol.

This has been my most favorite build by far. it was like watching a movie i cried when it died and then felt joy as it came back to life! I didnt really cry tho... But anyways great looking truck man i wish i had friends to buy me a jeep like that!

I would have loved to just have the one in the first photo...

Hey bud great looking truck but i have to say you deffinately lucked out for 2 reasons the first bing obviously you have found an amazing truck but the second being you didnt end up with the mx-3 i picked one up from a buddy of mine who didnt know a thing about cars (funny cause we were in every auto class together and we worked at jiffy oube then merlin for a while together) but anyways he got it for $700 and then sold it to me for $300 because it needed a new alternator and a few a/c things because it didnt work i said fine. First time opening up the hood i found it just didnt have the 2nd serpentine belt on it so i picked up a new one and got it one there and the thing ran fine no problems but it was deffinately a pos. any amount of moisture on the road i would slide all over the place going from speeds 50-65 it would get the death wobble (which i found out was common) and overall things just sucked on it. It might have gone differently for you but who knows anyways the day i sold it the guy paid $1000 for it and as he was turning the corner driving away the engine blew and it was off my hands i was releaved it didnt happen to me anyways the guy didnt ask for his money back but i towed it to his place and last i heard he got a new engine in the and yadda yadda yadda bottom line you did good man!

Well there was a plan then it all fell apart. My parents, whom i still live with -.-, were supposed to buy my truck from me. Its a 2007 mitsubishi endeavor that spent its entire life in florida and this was its first winter. Needless to say it sucks but i only had 2 grand left to pay on it and it would be put in my name. (it was my grandma's i took over payments) but anyways they were going to finish the payments and give me 5 grand for it because their car was getting repoed and my dad wanted my mom to have the endeavor but her being the queen she is decided she doesnt want it because it makes her look poor and she wants a mercedes or something so now there is this whole ordeal with the family... Didnt mean to include you guys in on it just my update.

By any chance did you ever do work out in north aurora? Because i worked with a bunch of ironworkers on an old lowes building.

Oh thats great! I didnt realize how many of you were so close i thout majority of all you guys were out west and down south haha. But thanks 13 legion maybe if i ever get my mj i can hit you up for some help with it in return for a few parts. I love how so many of you guys did that swap of the front ends with the cherokees and i want to do that with mine but I'm still confused with what else you guys swap with it? I know the front exterior and i remember seeing one guy putting cruise control on his, which sounds amazing, but what else? Well anyways ill be popping in and out of here periodically seeing how this is set as my home screen!

Yeah i saw that one and it would be a great build but i don't even have the money for that and i wouldnt have the money til spring almost summer so if i save up id like to get a 4x4 and an automatic

I'm right on the naperville plainfield border up near chicago. If i walk a block down I'm in plainfield, if i go into my backyard I'm naperville. Trey

Haha yeah english wasnt my strong suite in high school. Mine was gym, lunch, auto, science, math and a military class or 2. Yes i am addicted and i need to at least drive one soon otherwise i may fall into COMAnche! I tried to clean up my frantic crazy talk a bit for everyone. I hope it worked because i broke my brain in the process.
