88msftcomanche

Thanks guys for all the help just waiting for the weather to get a little better and will work on doing the later xj swap i think. It will prob last longer and be more beneficial in the long run and who doesnt like new stuff

Thanks alot sinkrun! :thumbsup: Ill check that out asap! :wrench:

Don't want to confuse anybody. I got the back hose connected, then got the oil cap of course and then i have an aftermarket breather that looks like a min cone filter near the front. Thanks eagle i will do this asap! :thumbsup:

Yeah the back hose is connected, then of course i have my oil cap and then i have the aftermarket breather.

have to start driving the comanche on the highway more often pretty soon and do not want to have to deal with this happening every time :dunno:

I think i may have a blowby issue on my hands and wondering if you guys could help me out. I have been trying to pin point a strange oil leak for a while and have checked almost everywere and seemed to find nothing. The other day i took the manche on a 15 min drive on the highway and stopped and when i did it smelled like oil..bad. so i opened the hood and noticed oil all around the oil cover area but not on the hood. I only notice the leak bad when at high rev's. I have an aftermarket breather on that seems like it could be a little loose and kind of $#!&ty really. I have a K&N cone filter so i l really don't have a place to plug in a good pcv hose. Should i just go back to stock air filter and hose or is there a better aftermarket breather i could buy that is better for highway use. Any input would be appreciated!! thanks guys :cheers:

nice paint job man looks good I'm partial to OD green also ;)

could i get one of the logo stickers? just the original plain one not the colored. What do i have to do to get it? :cheers:

Just wanted to say thanks Pete for this write-up it was a god send. My jeep was stuck somewhere 20 miles away from the house with the oil cap off inside the hood cause the oil change shop didn't put it on tight enough >< but i went to close my hood came back with a new oil cap and the damn hood wouldnt open. Went home pissed off looked at this write-up and bada bing bada boom fixed in about 30 minutes :cheers:

wow man 330,000 miles? thats the highest i think i have heard of yet! lol. I'm glad you still got the love for it to keep it rolling :bowdown: And thanks I will check those places out more closely and try to figure out exactly where its coming from.

yeah well so far mine has been pretty reliable lately. I just have a small oil leak that has occured lately and i mostly notice it the heaviest when i get out of my car after i turned my jeep off. it will drip a little for about 5 min then stop. could maybe be leaking a lil bit while driving I'm not 100%. I tried to look to see exactly where the drips were coming from and didnt see anything sketchy. anyone know what it could be?

I'm sorry man :/ you should still keep your head up and keep chugging away at it little by little. It may be a pain in the as for the time being but in the long run in it will be worth it. These are great little trucks with a little TLC ;) Even if it does mean walking away from it for a bit. But its only a matter of time before your driving it down the road as happy as the little yellow guy in this manche lol

Was driving my comanche around today after fixing a $#!&amp; ton of electrical problems, power steering, fuel pump and new fuel tank, the jeep is driving amazing and even took it wheeling a bit and does @#$%ing amazing! Just wanted to say i love my MJ :cheers:..just thought people would like to know..lol

Come on guys lets see some more bad @$$ manche's :cheers: don't be scared

My name is Nate and I'm from the Okemos by the Lansing area and have an 88 MJ!

Thanks for the advice and info man. I ordered the purple hornie should be here in a few days ill post up on here what i think about it. I heard it's fairly quiet at idle and roars when on the skinny pedal os I'm looking forward to seeing for myself

beautiful jeeps man they all look trail worthy as hell. I'm only 21 now but I would love to have a fleet a little longer down the road. but yeah I gonna stop hijacking this thread now lol.

Yeah I love it and no i do not have any pics right now of the interior cage but i could take some tomorrow. can't wait to wheel it this summer

Hey guys I was thinking about muffler options and saw a good deal locally on a purple hornie muffler with exhaust tip. Thought itd be good cause i like shorter exhausts and i read pretty good reviews of the muffler. Just wondering if you guys have any experience with the purple hornie or heard good things about them. :cheers:

Yeah I hear ya man lol i bent up my XJ's rocker pretty bad. I was gonna put some sliders in but totaled it..then got the MJ. Planning on underbelly skids and sliders ;) You got any more pics of the XJ? i love the mismatched look

Thanks! Yeah I bought it wit hit in it. I should get a pic of the interior cage its real well done. Its also got the removable door mod with the pins and herculined interior. Drives straight as an arrow also :brows: I plan on welding up a front winch bumper and some skid plates here pretty soon and then waiting for summer to wheel it up north michigan Id like to meet up with more michigan MJ wheelers! BTW..I love your MJ and XJ also :bowdown:
