The wife is working and I’m in charge lol. So I’m getting dinner ready for when she gets home. Cooking ribs on the grill, hopefully they will be done when she gets home they will have cooked for 5 hrs. And for desert I made a strawberry pie and yes I made the crust. What’s everybody else up to?

I saw that on YouTube I did not realize the 2.5 did not have doll pins

Just got the floors all done and planned on getting my 86 mj back on the road when a nice white cloud came out the tail pipe. Oil looks nice and milky now, oh joy! My Comanche is a 1986 2.5 automatic fuel injection with 197k. my question is why I have the head off I plan on doing a valve job, valve seals is there anything else I should do why I have the head off or should check.

On my way home from working on my Comanche I saw something that I thought I would never see unless I was at a off-road show. When I saw this sherp I had to take a double take.

For my two cents on parts repops there are companies that make parts for the vj2 jeepsters there were about 25,000 total built in the 3 year run 48 to 50. Yes it shares a lot of parts with Willys wagons and trucks but there are a few differences. You can buy floor pans, rocker panels and convertible tops that are jeepster only. There is a lot of debate in the willys overland jeepster club on how many are left and on the road. It’s got to be way less then there are Comanches. If key parts were to make any Comanche only parts that would be great. It might make some one save a truck that might get scraped or parted out.

Thanks, Pete got my poster and stickers today

True probably just a little bit. But when you have a repair shop sometimes they just find you. And we don’t discriminate we also have a studebaker and a few chevys.

I have a 49 cj3a far from being road worthy. 52 and 59 willys pickup. 53, 54 willys delivery wagons, 55 willys wagon, fc 150 and 48,49,and 50 jeepster between me and my dad. There are some other Jeeps we have but not willys. Some are done some are projects and some are parts.

Yes I did have not opened box yet. I’m in the middle of doing floor pans .

I started cutting out my floor pans and making new ones

Nice collection

I’m with jdog, what ever you decide is better than nothing.

I would be broke if I worked there. I would be trying to buy everything.

Had a thrush on a yj once got a year out of it before it rusted off. Ran a borla on a tj and got 12 year out of it before the welds broke at inlet and outlet

I don’t remember who’s post mentions doing it but THANKS. So who ever wants to take credit for it.

In the middle of cleaning everything

It will bounce from 1/2 tank to empty like a tack. Very fast the 86 I had 20 years a go did not do that

My fuel gauge bounces when I drive it. When it’s parked it shows proper amount. Do I need to start looking at the sender or the gauge?

My best guess is it’s some type of moly grease

I would think so. The pressure in the cylinder would blow it out when pushing it in. The rubber cup seal is the only thing that seals it. No different than a brake master cylinder. Seeing that the clutch master cylinder uses brake fluid I would not even want to put grease anywhere near it. If I did grease it I would use a ceramic brake grease so it would not harm the rubber seals .

I know a guy that works at am general. I will have to see what he knows.

Makes me want to get going on my 84 scrambler. After I get my Comanche back on the road.

I would rent a ball joint press. You might have to use sockets or something else to push on if it don’t have right size in the kit

Now they just called me again and said that they just came back into stock and will ship next week. So hard telling when I will get. I will post when I get it and pictures of the kit when I get it

Just got a call from oc auto carpets it came up KABJL enterprise Anaheim Ca. They said that the door window kits are on back order till end of May. I’m in no hurry so it’s not a big deal. Still placed the order so probably won’t see till June I’m figuring.
