Thanks for taking the time to post the pics for me. I see that hardware online, now I know what I am looking for. Now that I have the top and got better measurements it sure looks as if it maybe a bit to wide. Not giving up yet. I might have to do some modifications. I need to get the bed liner sprayed so I can get the top on the truck without scratching the paint. Having Comanche Fun, Ollie

There ya go. Thats a perfect example of what happens when you try to plan an event such as a MJ Pow-Wow. I am not trying to speak bad.......please don't misconstrue my comment. Having AMC Fun, Ollie

Yes, I do. Go to the Kenosha History Center web site. They are the people that are the main sponsors. Having AMC Fun, Ollie

We are going......now to decide which vehicle? Comanche or Rambler ????? We are going to the Air Show in Oshkosh the week during the event and then to Kenosha Saturday. Having Comanche Fun, Ollie

I am up for this. Owning a Comanche is somewhat like owning a Rambler. Kinda far and few in-between. When we attend a AMC event we have to pack-up and drive considerably to attend. A suggestion: Yes, as Pete said its good to attach to another event. Every four years the Kenosha History Center hosts a "Home Coming" event. It is open to all AMC products and the week culminates with a big Saturday show in Kennedy Park on Lake Michigan, just a few blocks from the old AMC Plant. Due to the Chinese Pandemic it was cancelled this year and moved to next year. It is usually held at the end of July. I am personal friends with a few of the major planners. In choosing a location I suggest at good study of the map with all the MJ owners is a great place to start. Find the areas that have the biggest concentrations of owners Planning an event like this will take considerable effort and time. Trust me, I have organized and planned many car shows. A "Fun Run" was my biggest endeavor. We travelled all over the State of Mississippi to different rod shops and the event lasted 5 days. Hotels and meals included. Having Comanche Fun, Ollie

Got the interior lights working........... On the way home from the NSRA Springfield, MO show we stopped by my friends house and he gave me a Comanche horn button. This is what I have to work with........ The gray button is mine, and Ricky gave me the maroon one. I need to remove the plastic bolt ring. You can see that the maroon one is all broken where it attaches to the steering wheel. I plan on drilling out the attaching studs and remove the bolt ring. I can epoxy glue it all back together. This is the good button out of my Comanche I just gotta take my time and not break anything .............. Having Comanche Fun, Ollie

Just like Knoxville we were down a few cars. Looks to me about 1000 cars, about the same as Knoxville. Usually about 3500. Better vendor turnout than Knoxville, but still down.

We left Knoxville Sunday and headed north to the Cincinnati area. Monday we went to the Creation Museum. I believe its a must see for every Christian or maybe better, an eye opening experience for non believers. Tuesday we went to The Ark. Another..WOW !!!!!! Wednesday we started home to Mississippi. All 2 lane roads enjoying the country side. A stop at Lincoln's birthplace in Kentucky. Another Kentucky stop, Jefferson Davis Birthplace....... Rambled on to The Mansion in Fannin, Mississippi. 1650 total miles, great trip. Its are first big trip of the year due to everything being canceled for the Chinese Pandemic. Next weekend its off the NSRA Show in Springfield, MO. Having Comanche Fun, Ollie

Thursday afternoon/evening Scott's Rod shop in Knoxville hosted a BBQ for NSRA. Food was plentiful, big variety and delicious !!!!!!! Everything he builds is on his own frame. High dollar and very interesting. One ready to ship...... The best part...... Friday and Saturday was car showing......... More pics to come. Having Comanche Fun, Ollie

Just got home from our Knoxville, TN cruise to attend the NSRA Car Show. Road Warrior, my 1969 Rambler rambled flawlessly on the 1646 mile cruise. The 1983, carbureted 258 I-6, hummed like a AMC should. AC, defrost and heater did the job as needed; even felt great to use the delay electric wipers. That system was a money pit, but well worth it when needed. . We always run two lane back roads as much as possible. Passed this place and then realized; Heck, we're in Lynchburg, TN.... I see a return visit in my future. Another adventure. More pictures to come as I work thru them. Having Comanche Fun, Ollie

My 89, 4.0L, 2WD is my daily driver, work truck and towing vehicle for my 16' trailer. I bought it to to replace my 89 Ford F-150 (original owner) After alot of TLC it is now doing the job. I can see it going to some local car shows. Hopefully this vehicle will ride me on out. Having AMC Fun, Ollie

Seems as if these "mansions" we live in are a maintenance nightmare, always something. I have had septic tank issues this year. Playing in poop is not my idea of a fun time !! Guess we can't play with our toys all the time. Having Comanche Fun, Ollie

Car shows have been mighty thin this year. Wife found this show on Facebook so we loaded up and headed to Broussard, Louisiana in our Rambler. Snapped a few pics of stuff I liked..... I got a thing for flat heads..... Thought we had something here until I saw the 350 Chevy in it. They had the top 25 awards. 112 car turn out. Best part of the trip my nephew and wife came to visit us. That's our Rambler we are next to. Another bonus.....got to meet our newest family member...Gemma We had a great conversation !!

1987 Jeep Comanche TURN SIGNAL/WINDSHEILD WIPER

I suspect the ground wire that is located by the windshield washer bottle is broken or bad. Having Comanche Fun, Ollie -
aftermarket gauge questions.
Ollie replied to MontanaManche's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I have a 1983 258 in my Rambler. The temp sender was located in the head by number 6 cylinder. I have a Dakota Digital dash cluster and I was sure getting erroneous readings with my temp sensor in that location. I moved the sensor to the inlet radiator hose (top). Now I am getting a true reading as to the temperature the engine is running at. Adaptor's at E Bay. When I put a temp gauge in my Comanche, it was all idiot lights, I used the top radiator hose. Runs dead on 195. Yes, just "tee" your oil pressure sending unit. Stick with Autometer gauges, they are the best in my "free" opinion. Having Comanche Fun, Ollie -
I have been searching the internet about my box cover. I see how the locking system works and the missing parts are out there. Thats not going to be a problem. After a couple of phone calls I see that I will be spraying the bed liner myself.......... My interior lights arrived..... They are quality stuff. I got them from Infinite Innovations.

Thanks alot for the pic.........I have the clip for the lug wrench in my truck, was trying to figure out how the jack mounted to it. All I am missing is the folding jack handle. Ready for a trip to Pull-A-Part, now I know what I need. You cleared my brain fog.......TKS Having Comanche Fun, Ollie
