Comanchejess

I saw a really clean blue one with chrome trim and a nice chrome roll bar in Cedar Falls not terribly long ago. And one outside of Cedar Rapids that was in decent shape. Mine's a pile of junk right now, inside and out and I feel bad for anyone that I force to look at it... But She's been good to me and I'm going to be good to her.

since the world is still shut down and it doesn't look like I will be bartending again any time soon I've started on Cruiser54's wonderful list. I got a few done today before it rained, and I found out that P/O didn't like the tail light ground for the fuel pump so now I have to find the new one

I just recently bought an 08 mercury sable to get me around while I'm getting my 87 MJ squared away, and doing anything on that car besides an oil change has been a massive headache.

That is a beautiful truck

I'm looking to swap my bench for buckets. I really seem to need the center console space, because I hate not having a cup holder.

I love my 87, but it's more stressful than a wife or girlfriend at times. Good Luck!

my center latch got bent. I removed it and it's the absolute best modification I've made to my truck so far

Ive been all around the country and Ive seen a grand total of three of these. One is mine. All have been in Iowa.

87 with 225k. runs when she wants to

My 87 does this since ive had it for almost 3 years

This is definitely one of the coolest most bad @$$ swaps I've ever seen on any vehicle.

Thanks for the starting points guys.

I had a major death wobble today, that I was *actually* concerned about. It lasted no longer than 3-5 seconds at about 35 mph, but was so violent that I almost pulled over and called a tow truck less than 6 blocks from my house. At first I thought I simply had a flat tire, but they were fine, then I thought maybe brakes because I was braking when the death rattle/wobble occurred. After driving a little while longer I am sure my brakes are fine. The steering is loose, but almost always has been. If anyone else has had any issues similar to this, I'd be very interested to know what caused the issue, how it was diagnosed, and the steps taken to correct it.

My coolant tank cracked horizontally down the center, and I think I replaced it for something like $20.

I was reading through some of your links... there's lots of interesting troubleshooting (or just plain interesting) stuff there. I have a lot of stuff to check out in the morning ;0.. hopefully *something works before I have to start spending money..

I should read these. ill check my fuel filter first thing in the morning, even though I'm convinced that's not my issue, it can't hurt to look.

so if I replace the distributor, and time that correctly id still have to change a computer setting? or is there no way to fix timing at all?

Suspect starter motor. Welcome to the forum. this might sound ridiculous, but I was having similar issues, bypassed my ignition and boom... My jeep started. currently still have the ignition bypassed.

Thanks Pete.

No, it was fine up until Tuesday.

I'm going to do hood pins on mine as well. My hood is a little bent from being in a wreck about a year ago, and some of the fenders, and it cracked the plastic piece where my windshield wipers mount. I also figure that it'll be easier to be able to remove the hood latch, because I frequently have to lift my hood.

It will start without giving it gas, however, once it starts going, it'll go, I can't keep it running.

I ended up replacing the harmonic balancer. That was the issue. Thanks!

4.0, *I've* never completed a tune-up, so at least 2 years since I've owned it. I just replaced the timing chain/timing chain cover/harmonic balancer two weeks ago. could I need to adjust timing at the distributor? I wouldn't think so since it was running fine before two days ago.

Hey there everybody. My 1987 Comanche, (some 1988 parts from the factory) won't stay running. It starts fine every time, but it will not stay started. It's misfiring, and if I can keep it going long enough to get somewhere it bogs down when I am accelerating after braking or coming out of a turn. This is my daily driver, and currently the only vehicle I have that I can drive legally in my state, so any advice here would help. I've ruled out fuel delivery as an issue, as it is getting fuel.
