I'm pretty sure we'll be hanging out at my place Friday night after Brandon arrives in town. Nothing major happening, but somewhere to relax and talk MJs for a bit. I'm about three miles from the fairgrounds. Probably will have some pizzas and drinks on Friday.

Registered my 91 to show it. All ready to go now...

Don't do it. The electronics in these vehicles work on luck and magic.

You should read the rules, too. Rule 1 is you need 10 posts. The other rules count too.

I joined a couple of FB Comanche groups about a month ago to see what I might have been missing. I agree with the assessments above. There's a ton of bad information being passed around as truth on those groups, the format is terrible and the members are lazy. At this point, I stop by there about once a week if I need a laugh.

These are listed again, a year later. $1200 for the truck, and $500 for the extra bed. https://york.craigslist.org/pts/d/york-jeep-comanche-parts/6869035582.html https://york.craigslist.org/pts/d/york-comanche-parts/6869041633.html

Thank you very much. Since I've just got the basic seat covers, I'm going to have to hunt for another pair of seats in the basic style for the foam backing. Exacly what I was looking for.

Furthest travelled gets a No Prize, Alexia is currently winning.

I look at this truck and can only ask questions. Why? What purpose does this vehicle serve? It does not appear to be built for speed, or offroad use, or offer any utility whatsoever. Somebody put a lot of time and effort into building this bastardization of our beloved trucks. Perhaps they were going for a theme - like they wanted to build the Jeep truck version of a Hot Wheels car. Where this falls down for me is the design. Specifically the Bejing front clip. We own vehicles that were designed by Roy Lunn. You don't mess with perfection.

Please take me to school on MJ bucket seats - I'd like to understand the different styles offered for MJs. I am currently preparing to restore my 92, and am changing the interior color to AMC black. I recently aquired from another member the covers from these bucket seats: I need to know what style this seat is. I recently picked up a 91 Eliminator with these seats: I'd also like to know if the black seat covers I have will fit on the bucket seats from the Eliminator. Is the underlying seat the same? Because they look different. Thanks.

Alright, @Minuit and company. We've got @krustyballer16 coming out from Indiana and @CptVanGuard possibly coming up from North Carolina. Distance is no longer an excuse. The bar has been set.

If you can get a SWB rollbar to your location (including freight) for anywhere under $400 you got yourself a good deal. There are substantially more LWB than SWB rollbars out there.

Oh, man. You're taking it to the next level. Can't wait to see this progress.

I tell myself that two of them are just piles of parts that just happen to run and drive. I do have a plan. I swear.

Alright. It's time to get registrations in and buy tickets for the show for those that haven't already. I have it on my list to do this week. Chime in on this thread to let everyone know you're registered to show your Jeep, as a vendor, just coming for the show, whatever. Also, there's a cookout at my house that Saturday, so I need to know who is coming and we need some volunteers to bring snacks and drinks. I'll have burgers, dogs and more for everyone.

Northwest PA - cool! If you're coming to the All Breeds Jeep Show here in York in July (see sticky thread in the Pub) I could have it out by then. I'm hosting a cookout and a bunch of members will be here. A few members are bringing parts, getting vendor booths, etc. PM me a list of what you need and I'll get you a price.

It's completely effective, low cost when compared to anything else and way fast.

It was rebuilt around 20k miles ago. Where are you located?

I've updated my post. I ran through three or four threads and found conflicting info.

I concur 100% with this. The top end on the 4.0L develops this type of noise after only a couple thousand miles. I don't really hear anything abnormal in your videos, although the tapping does sound a little louder than usual. Heavier weight oil tends to quiet it down a bit.

Media blaster. Bought a 40lb pressurized HF unit to blast a YJ frame clean. I have used it to strip just about everything that needs cleaned and painted. MIG welder. Got it to move the engine mounts on the aformentioned frame. I've used it countless times since on all kinds of stuff around the house. Engine hoist. Bought it to remove an engine. It will also lift a tub off a YJ and will be used when I'm removing the beds from my MJs. Great when moving heavy stuff like axles around the garage. I do all my work myself so it's like having a buddy here with me to help with the heavy lifting.

I'm assuming you want to delete/bypass the load sensing valve. Not sure which write up you're reading. Check this out: For your project, it sounds like you want to keep the MJ distribution block. Follow all the steps in the thread linked to here, but keep your MJ distribution block and plug the bottom front port (#1 in your pic), instead of putting in a YJ/XJ/ZJ proportioning valve. Please be aware that if you keep the MJ distribution block, you will be pushing full pressure to the rear wheels. This will increase the probability of locking up the rear wheels when braking hard.

Fall 2018 - Winter 2019: A Few Miles, Fuel System Fixed I haven't really done much to Silver Star over the past year. The truck had a nagging fuel system problem where it was not building pressure at the fuel rail. I had already replaced the fuel pump with a Bosch, went through the wiring, relays, etc, and was stumped for a bit. Then I changed the fuel filter and everything has been great since. I've only put a few hundred miles on the truck over the past year, but it's been running great. I've got to get it in the garage in the short term to remove some surface rust and prime/paint those areas.

December 2018 - April 2019: Parts Vehicles The intention is to convert this truck to a 4WD automatic, so I've acquired a couple of parts vehicles over the past few months from which parts can be sourced. In December 2019, I picked up a 1995 Jeep Cherokee Limited 4.0L/AW4/NP-231 with 180K on the clock. The Cherokee is pretty much trashed, but has parts on it I need like good fenders and hood, brackets, etc. It runs strong and shifts very well. I got it for $600, and it does not have a title, so it's going to be used for parts only, then sent to the scrap yard. Then, in April 2019, I traveled to Philadelphia, PA and bought a 1991 Jeep Comanche Eliminator 4.0L/AW4/NP-231 with 268K on the clock. The bed on the truck is pristine, which is the main reason I bought it. I bought this truck for $800 from the original owner, and it's got rust on the cab roof, the transmission slips in reverse, it's leaking coolant like a sieve and the vacuum and electrical systems are shot. The engine is new and only has a couple of thousand miles on it. Looks to be a pretty highly optioned HO Eliminator. Perhaps when I'm done building this 92, there will be enough parts left to put the Eliminator back together. I bought it with the title, and registered and tagged it in PA just in case it's more than just a parts truck in the end. I've got to do an inventory, but I believe I have all the parts and pieces I need for Ghost to do the full manual-to-automatic conversion, 4WD conversion, and replace all the dented body panels excluding what's dinged up on the cab itself. I've also collected more black interior pieces over the past couple of months and have a full AMC black interior for the truck now. SO things are looking good - I just have to get a couple of other projects out of the way so I can start on it.
