  1. E-mail Sent! Check this one out, I messaged them for a price as well. http://saultstemarie.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-SUVs-trucks-vans-pickup-trucks-Good-inexpensive-little-pick-up-W0QQAdIdZ146873340 Is there any difference between an older comanche and a " newer" one as far as Power Steering goes? My 89 Mazda had no PS and I looked like Arnold after driving it for a few months...I'm hoping they all have it. Tym
  2. Ugh! And the search continues..... The jerk sold it on me! There are a few others I have in mind, but nothing local. Thanks for all the tips guys, I'm on here everyday pretty much catching up and learning alot from the other threads. Tym
  3. I want something I can lift up, get decent fuel milage on, and still take off roading with no problems really. Iv got a ton to learn about components, but I'm fairly handy on the tools. Thanks for the tip about the magnet, thats great advice. I really should ask him to pull the floor carpet up for me to see as well. I see theres alot of things to look for in these trucks, and if the mechanical and the body are both in decent shape, thats most of the battle for me! My friends are saying to hold out for an already 4x4 comanche, and save the trouble...That makes sense, but this green MJ looks like it may be too good of a deal to pass up on.
  4. Thanks for the tips, very simple! The trucks kinda got a nasty color, but maybe its got potential- The body is in the best shape iv seen since I startec looking in april. Iv talked him down to $800 Cash, and I have " High" hopes to make this a great looking Comanche! I'm moving to Newfoundland in November, and Need something that I can play in the snow with...this is only 2x4 for now...are the 2x4 models still any good? Cheers!
  5. So I talked the guy down to 800 cash - Whats the best thing to do for an inspection? Should I take it to a Jeep Service center and get it inspected, or just some joe mechanic? I'm going to make the trip in a week and a half, when my vacation starts! I'm pumped. PS I can post some more photos of it, if I can figure out how!
  6. Yeah I totally hear ya...I don't have access to much more then just a friends garage. Theres a fairly deserted lot at the end of my highrise aptments that I can probobly get away with doing some work on the truck at. Picking away at a cherokee could get expensive, so your right, picking up a cherokee would be ideal. Just nowhere to store it! I live in Ontario and I'm driving 6+ Hours to take a look at this truck, thats in Quebec.
  7. Thanks for the heads up Rob. Iv been on here for a little while, I'm hunting down a comanche. Its not easy, especially with the salt up here. I'm mechanically inclined, but iv never worked on a vehicle really. What should I be paying for to convert ( we have tons of junkyards around here) And how much is involved? Could I do it with just a jackstand in an afternoon or do I need to rent a lift for a weekend type deal?> Any information is greatly appreciated, you guys are gods on here. Tym
  8. Converting to 4x4??? Is it worth it? I'm trying to pick up this truck, the body seems to be in good shape. its 4x2 v6 4.0 with fresh paint. Price $1000 http://quebec.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles ... Z145257427
