Wish peeps would be more specific in their ads. Just called a fella about his ad for a MJ for sale. Come to find out he was referring to the smoking weed stuff. Not a Jeep truck. :doh:
A well maintained engine, oil changes, tune ups,etc, etc, runs just fine in the mountains. I've had mine, '87 MJ, 2.5, 4 speed over Tennessee pass, Monarch Pass and up Pikes Peak as well as a couple 'other' places with no problems.
Please Mother. I'd rather do it myself. Automatics are nice and I wouldn't reject a otherwise desirable car because of the trans. But I prefer the manual.
I once did a 'little' tune up to the flat head 134 in my '47 CJ2. It was so fast the standard timing clock at the quarter track couldn't time it so I had to run on a 1 mile track.
Ditto on the above. Hornbrods MJ is one of the finest examples Ive seen. And there are many other fine ones as well. Just go thru the past Comanches of The Month and you well see many fine examples.
Will a NP236 from a '97 S10 work on a Comanche? Got a chance to get a low mileage one for free. Just wondering it would be worth messing with or not. :dunno:
That pic is misleading as it makes peeps think the buggy was hill climbing. It wasn't. It was dropped from a plane at 10,000 feet and the parachute malfunctioned.
I've found it does'nt hurt to try. I don't know how many deals I;ve missed because I didn't knock and ask. Hate to think of the times I've seen a car/truck sitting in somebodies driveway that didn't look like it was being driven that I would like to have had but never knocked only to see it later laying on it's side in some junkyard. Doesn't hurt to ask.
^^^ What he said. I twist the ends together, half an inch is good, and solder. Then heat shrink. Trouble with soldering is vibration will break the wire at the solder joint. Heat shrink helps take care of that. get a copy AC 43.13-1A&2. Tells you every possible thing you would ever want to know about soldering. If it's good enough for A/C then it's good enough for Jeep.
