Can Spell Comanche

Can Spell Comanche (2/11)

  1. Just calling it as I see it and my personal opinion that Jeep=4x4 Adult legos assuming the adult knows how to read... "I'd like to keep my truck stock (or at least not do anything I can't UN do)" or assuming they have logical thoughts... "I've been meaning to start really upgrading..." and the most basic: assuming they actually know what they are doing... "I have no idea where to begin." Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk
  2. 2wd, rust problems = new truck. Why anyone would invest in 2WD (Automatic) Jeep is beyond me; Jeep and 4x4 is synonymous. Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk
  3. Going to hit a junk yard for the plastic cover since mine makes it look like I did nothing behind. Enviado desde mi LYA-L29 mediante Tapatalk
  4. Getting some long overdue cleaning done, been driving around with a desasmbled interior. The reactions are funny when they see the inside. Enviado desde mi LYA-L29 mediante Tapatalk
  5. As someone with a 86 2.8l Ive been looking down the road at this and you make it sound so easy. You also gave me confidence that my engine will keep going for awhile. Thank you for that. Great job and thanks for the write up. Do you run the carb open like that or do you have an airfilter on it or any clearence issue with the hood? Have you considered the self turning fuel injection carbs? I certainly cannot afford it, but they are simple and there are ones for rock climbing. Enjoy! Enviado desde mi LYA-L29 mediante Tapatalk
  6. I have the cluster in the photo. My Comanche is a swapped 6 and the tach doesn't work. Now I potentially know why.
  7. "Hardest part of turbocharging for us is the computer/fuel delivery" This is what I like about Puerto Rico [emoji1202] and my beat up Comanche. No emissions. I got a motor, basic igntion system and a carburetor. Manual everything. [emoji562] Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

    Jeep Fail

    The minute the guy said, "We are on the top of the world" I knew it was BS... Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk
  9. I will definitely be doing this when I get back. Does someone have the link for the rear sway bar installation? Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk
  10. What a terrible time living on a mountain in a new town. So, my mission today was to take out the Carburetor and walk 4.5 miles into town. I woke up and there happen to be a mecánico working across the street. (What are the chances) I beat the carburetor on top.l of the float and it moved the obstruction. I let it run and talked the mecánico who called someone who gave another number who said, "take it out and I get to it maybe Saturday for delivery on maybe Tuesday". I don't have another vehicle to drop it off plus I fly to San Diego Tuesday. I drove the truck to the first guy in another mountain, who I explained the problem to and he called his brother, on another mountain, who said bring it tomorrow morning at 7am and I will fix it right away. This will be the 2nd carburetor build I will watch and hopefully the last, fore I will. learn how to do it. And to think, living in Colombia, if you call a mecánico in the AM he will arrive to your farm in the afternoon and fix the problem if you can't. All for a house call fee of 6 dollars. Thanks everyone for you input. This Comanche is really an awesome truck and rare, but it is taking my pocket for a ride. Thank the universe I can do most everything myself with my limited knowledge because I cannot afford the top of the line parts nor mecánicos. Again, thank you. Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk
  11. not interchangeable, that is a good deal. Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk
  12. I looked at the interchange numbers listed and mine isn't listed. I sent a message to the seller. Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk
  13. RockAuto is cheap, but with the shipping to [emoji1202] outweighs the base cost. Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk
  14. I'm definitely not that flush, I'd like to get something under 200. Sure, she takes loads, but for the most part is it my daily driver. If someone knows of a place or has rebuilt ones I would like it before the end of the new week. thanks ya'll Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk
  15. Coming from living in Colombia, veering is rebuilt. However, here in Puerto Rico, that is a lost art. So, I am. in the market for a new carburetor. Can anyone please point me in the direction of the best bang for my buck? I am poor, so I am need a good reliable deal. Thanks! Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk
