Ah Spud Guns. I own too many to count. We started small one night a number of years ago and ever since got hooked. My and a buddy have build atleast 20 launchers. Now days I use 300,000 volt stun guns to ignite a largely Ethyl Ether solution, my buddy has a propane injection gun using a stun gun to ignite the mixture. Golf balls and a piece of paper towel work really well and can easily put very large dents in steel plates :) Frozen spuds are fun too!

I love bowling, I got into it pretty heavily about 3 years ago and have been playing every week since. Currently I am a 175-180 average.

You need some more Mud Spray, He can see out the windshield too easily. Try something more like this. :brows:

Oh trust me, I ask the same question. The stick on Buick Side Ports gets me wondering too. You see it on the most random vehicles. To date the most random vehicles I have seen it on are a late model Ford Ranger and a Minivan. :nuts:

Yep, that's the one. I really don't recomend the 4-barrel on the 2.8l. Your best bet is to save the money and put a good 2-barrel on the stock intake. You will enjoy the driveability much more. I recomend something like a Weber 32/36 or 38. I have been down the 4-barrel road with the Holley 390 on my 3.4l with the Edelbrock intake. I had full exhaust, MSD, and some small jets and it was too much. You really need to have a cam to justify moving to a 4-barrel when you can get a nice 2-barrel that will do the job just as well, and probably net better gas mileage. This is of course just my opinion and me digging from my personal experience on the matter.

Hummer is at it again, "Borrowing" Jeep designs
hemi_comanche replied to hemi_comanche's topic in The Pub
Here is my take on the on it. It looks like it could tear you apart and have fun doing it. Looks are decent, but offroad it is yet another failure. It is obviously meant for cruising the boulevard and saying look at me. Just take a look at the front view, it has IFS. Last I checked IFS is not typically preferred for high abuse offroading or rock crawling. That and Jeep buyers that get Wranglers and take them off road, don't care about a few scrapes here and there. I don't think the Hummer audience wants to scratch up there shiny paint. They will drive down a dirt road someday, and talk about how great it was offroad. The original Hummer is the only REAL Hummer. I would love to have an original, and hopefully someday I can. Just my $.02 -
Hummer just can't get enough of Ripping Off other peoples ideas can they, and they have proven once again they can still design a vehicle that would not do to well on the trail. Hummer takes on Wrangler There are tons of pics here http://jalopnik.com/342457/detroit-auto-show-hummer-hx-concept-embargo-totally-fragged PHOTO GALLERY Editor's note: Hummer distributed information on this vehicle early with an embargo of Sunday, Jan. 13. But several Web sites have published pictures and information, so we don't think you should have to wait. General Motors will take the wraps off the Hummer HX concept at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Smaller than the H3, the two-door open-air HX is aimed squarely at the Jeep Wrangler. The HX's 103-inch wheelbase puts it in between the Wrangler and the Wrangler Unlimited. The HX's open-air driving experience comes via a pair of removable roof panels and a modular, removable rear roof assembly. The doors are removable, as are the fender flares (for more clearance on the trail). "The modular design of the roof and removable body panels mark an evolution of Hummer's design aesthetic," said Hummer exterior design boss Carl Zipfel. "These features demonstrate a deeper understanding of enthusiast desires when it comes to off-road driving, and the slant-back design gives the HX a look all its own." The four-seat interior is meant to be purposeful and off-road ready, with its largely sheetmetal-covered panels, and an exposed, extruded aluminum cross-vehicle beam as the instrument panel's foundation. There is also a rubberized floor and ballistic nylon-material covering on the instrument panel, and other interior components reinforce the functional aesthetic. Your take? :popcorn:

How much did your Comanche cost in the showroom MSRP
hemi_comanche replied to paulsaw's topic in The Pub
I will have to search for the window sticker, but from memory my 89' Eliminator was around $10k -
Trust me someone will buy it. We had an 89 around here at the Jeep dealership with around 50k original miles. It was a 2wd auto 4cyl bench seat rubber carpet and a non factory rear bumper (rear ended possibly), and some poor smuck paid $7,000 for it + dealer fees. Though I think the Comanche's are rare, they are not that rare yet.

400sbc in the jeep
hemi_comanche replied to billybob_jeep's topic in MJ Hardcore Tech: Epic Journeys to Greatness
Looks good so far! Just wondering, how much space do you have between the front of the engine and the radiator support? -
he was definitely an amazing driver, and one hell of a good guy too. Sad to see him go.
-
So this guy is the one buying up all the MJ's Didn't his mother ever tell him to share! ;)
-
that has been on ebay before, but I don't think it ever hit reserve so it never sold.
