I'm going back tommorrow to get the exhaust for sure since that's one of the parts that my new one is said to be needing. If I wait it'll be gone for sure. Also going to look at the rest of it and see what else I can snag since it has the same interior color too. I would love to have the whole thing but not really an option. I will put it in the registery when I get my #2 mj home and do all three at once.

Found this at the scrap yard last trip. Rearend and bed gone so I think they were treasures. And if they were as clean as the rest of the truck someone got a steal. There was hardly a dent in this thing let alone a spec of real rust, heck the frame rails were still black and the gas tank was shiny.Well not like gold shiny but you get the idea. Wanted to cry. 1990, 4.0, 5spd, 4wd, long bed. I looked it over for a while, this truck donated it's radiator to my 87. But I did find a little treasure in it. The original build sheet. I have heard other members say they had one. I still don't know what I'm reading though so if someone who is more of a collector than me I will send it to you. Just let me know.

Has anyone ever bought a comanche blindly? I just found a 90' mj 4.0, 5 speed, 4x4, red with gray interior. Needs a new trac bar and catalytic converter. It is a Nevada truck so rust isnt a big issue to me. And that's all I know about it for a mear $500. I hope the mj addiction doesn't screw me over on this one. As soon as I pick it up I will update with pics. Anyone else ever done something so foolish? But a 4wd mj around here easily is three or four times that. :???:

It is a major PITA. I would know. Anything I have ever posted on CC has been from my iPhone. I have a system now but took me forever to figure out, and I still have to type all my image codes in, I've had zero success copy and pasting from one web page to the other. But it's the only Internet I have so it will have to do.

Uh

Uh

Uh

Problem solved. Was a bad u joint in the driveshaft. And I'd show a picture of it but you have all seen a pile of rusty dust.

Subject: Fw: I wonder how they survive?AND THEY VOTE AND LIVE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD TOO. To: . ONE Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. 'We don't have half dozen nuggets,' said the teenager at the counter. 'You don't?' I replied. 'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply. 'So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?' 'That's right.' So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets (Unbelievable but sadly true...) TWO I was checking out at the local Walmart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those 'dividers' that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the 'divider', looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code, she said to me, 'Do you know how much this is?' I said to her 'I've changed my mind; I don't think I'll buy that today.' She said 'OK,' and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened. THREE A woman at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM 'thingy.' (keep shuddering!!) FOUR I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. 'Do you need some help?' I asked. She replied, 'I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?' 'Hmmm, I don't know. Do you have an alarm, too?' I asked. 'No, just this remote thingy,' she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, 'Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk....' PLEASE just lay down before you hurt yourself !!! FIVE Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, 'I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?' 'Just use paper from the photocopier', the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five 'blank' copies. Brunette, by the way!! SIX A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid had eaten ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine, the mother says, 'I just gave him some ant killer......' Dispatcher: 'Rush him in to emergency!' Life is tough. It's even tougher if you're stupid!!!! (thanks John Wayne)

Uh

Thanks CW. Yes I have a thread it's "87 diamond in the rough" and there is better pics and explanations there. The tire that is on the spare is a 35" but I run 33" tires so I need to get it swapped this week. And about the Rubi wheels. No I don't run any spacers.

Uh

Today I finally got my rear tire carrier done.

Hey I have a mj and a Cadillac cimmeron. I must really know collector cars and trucks :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

Thanks, Now I'm really glad I asked!! Had no idea there were different parts like that in the front shaft. Thanks again for saving me an extra trip to the parts house. :cheers:

I don't think changing the actual joints will be an issue I've pounded on those a time or two. But I've never had a u joint make this kind of noise. I usually get that clunk noise not a squeel. But my logic was those joints sat at stock height for who knows how long and now I added this big lift and changed what they were wore into. :dunno: as far as the axle, picked it up from a cc member and he said the ujoints were pretty new so that's why I thought driveshaft.

I have recently done lots of mods to the mj but haven't really given it the shake down. So to the point, I took it out and really twisted it up on some trails and noticed that when engaged in 4wd I get a squeelin noise from something obviously turning. So should I change the u-joints on the front driveshaft or front axles? I'm leaning towards the drive shaft because of the 6.5" lift that is installed. But second opinions never hurt. Thanks Chris :cheers:

I personally didn't do anything to it but my wife washed it and then cleaned the inside of it. Looks better than it ever has before.

Just an update on this trip. It looks like it's not going to happen. I drove up there today and you can't even get close to the lake. Talked to the forest ranger and he said the pass still has around ten feet of snow on it and the road department may not plow it this year. So we will have to wait. If any of you CC members are interested in a later weekend trip let me know because I will be making trips Into Gold lake often this summer. :cheers:

Looks pretty decent for 1500$ that's an average price around here. That's if you like Camanches. :chillin: :fool: http://reno.craigslist.org/cto/1716860227.html

I didn't have the issue with the long arms but on my Cherokee I had to put ratchet straps around the axle and connect the other end to the front bumper and start cranking. This will pull the axle up and forward. Worked like a champ. This is what my local 4x4 shop does when installing this kind of setup. :cheers:

Wow I mean wow there are some very opinionated people on this site today!! For what it's worth........have you ever gone camping and collected fire wood for your campfire? Was it yours? Is it stealing? Are you going to Hell for it? Will you be a repeat offender? The point is the OP got a good steal :D and none of us are labeling ourselves as thieves, I think I would have done the same thing. Call it stealing, or what ever you want, but at the end of the day I think I would sleep just fine.

Uh

Washed the mud off today! :thumbsup:
