I am in Freehold.

I got this Comanche about 10 years ago during a HOT summer when I was driving 50 miles a day in an 88 Comanche with no ac. This one was converted to R-134 and it worked pretty good. Fast forward to when my neighbor stopped by to tell me he was done fixing his 99 TJ and did I want it. I did. Both Comanches took up residence in the driveway. I recently got motivated to fix the 90. It did not start, after some troubleshooting, I put a fuel pump in it. Turned the key, I heard it power up. A few turns of the key to fill up the rail and it fired right up. Time for a test drive. I got to the end of the driveway, and lost the brakes. A line let go. Backed it up and walked away. This past weekend I decided time to get it going again. Quick trip to Napa, I got 3 five foot brake lines, a couple of unions, and the Dakota brake hose. I removed all the old lines, ran the new ones. Done in a day. I should have done this a while ago. I still have to re-bleed the system. I want to start driving it again, and fix or upgrade as I can. Here are some pictures. The Comanche Wow. It has been a while. Classic Renix 4.0 In the air. Somewhat. Out with the old. Ready to begin the replacement. Started in the back and moved forward. Last piece to the valve.

Today I replaced the brake line on my 90 Comanche. I followed the tips on here and ran one line from the front of the valve to a new Dakota brake hose. I used 3 lines joined by unions. I cut one line to length I needed and flared it. I bled the rear cylinders and had a good pedal. Or so I thought. I started it up, was going for a ride, and now I have a low pedal and the BRAKE light is on. I do not see any leaks. Should I bleed again or could it be another issue? This was an all day operation today, tomorrow is another day. Thanks in advance for your help. Ken.

I am looking for a couple of wheels. First one is 2012 Liberty and I need 1 or 2 of these. Second one is TJ Moab and I need 2 or 3 of these. Thanks, Ken.

It was the fuel pump. I got a replacement bosch from rock auto with the filter sock. $80 to my door. I destroyed the lock ring. It was rusted pretty good. It came with the o ring which was good because the one with the fuel pump was no good. The pump was like a puzzle with adapters, but it is in there and the Comanche is outside running for the first time in years. I am now motivated to keep going and put it back on the road for my new daily driver. Thanks to all with your tips. Ken.

Thanks. Done, no change, no pump.

I have a 90 Cherokee and 90 Comanche. They have been idle for a while. I put a battery in the Cherokee and it fired right up. I put a battery in the Comanche and it did not fire right up. I do not hear the fuel pump come on. I refreshed the ground by the oil dipstick. I put in all the relays from the Cherokee. I have voltage at the pump. Time for a pump? Thanks for your help. Ken.

Is that Petty blue?

I read your build. One Jeep is good. Two Jeeps are better. I have six.

If it was me, I would look for some 31's, factory wheels, and skid plates. Make it as reliable as you can. Take it on a road trip. I would use my money to got to the trails, and go to more trails, and then some more trails. August will be here before you know it. When you graduate and come home on leave, you got a way to get around. You can drive to your next assignment, if you are allowed to. It is nice to have a ride at school, you make a lot of freinds. Ha ha. Good luck whatever you decide. Semper Fi!

I like the camo paint. Nice Jeep.

Nice score. Pioneers rule!

When I go to read a post that I have read and I go back to read updates, sometimes it appears, sometimes it does not. Is that normal?

They can make this junk, why can't they think of a new name? :dunno:
