Blue88Comanche

Mom Has a 2003 Liberty 4x4 Sport and LOVES it. It has enough room on the inside to fit 2 Dishwashers with some room to spare. Its pretty peppy, and can turn on a dime. We have had no problems with it. It was 8 years old when we got it and it had 60,000 miles or so on it. Dad Had a 2005 Liberty 4x4 Limited, he likes it. But the tranny is acting up. Not wanting to shift and has a grinding sound while in overdrive.

I am an Eagle Scout as well, Troop 137 from Grand Bay, AL

Its been a while but here is what i did yesterday, Reconnected the rear brakes and bled the lines, bought new front shocks, and a new steering dampener. removed the front axle from the Red88Comanche, its going to be a replacement for the current one. and also going to swap the track bar mount.

Bought an engine balance yesterday just need to move the engine mounts over then i can get the motor in and out of the weather. Pulled off the front axle and track bar mount, its going to be used on Dad's Comanche "Black89Comanche"

RockMJ, that is one Sweet MJ :cheers: Took the Front axle and trackbar mount off of Red88Comanche, and Started to remove the Front axle from Black89Comanche. hopefully the swap will go without any problems. and as always i forgot to take pictures. :(

I did not pay income tax last year. I just get a hand written check from the small business account and then I set some aside for taxes

I will help! Poor Jeeps need to be rescued... :( Jeep adoption center anyone? :D :wrench:

I have the bare minimum on my Blue MJ, and Full Coverage on my WK my total is $163 ish with Geico. When I had just the MJ it was $64 per month. I just turned 21 so i am sure in the next few years it should go down, i hope.

1st: If the Master Cyl. pumps fluid but does not build pressure does it need to be replaced or would there be another cause? 2nd: When I bleed the Clutch the fluid comes out the front of the valve and around the threads, not out the end like my last one did. do some bleeder valves work this way or does it need to be replaced? 3rd: Where is a place to buy a good replacement Clutch line? better to be safe than sorry right? There no leaks I can find and i don't lose clutch fluid over time, just can't build pressure to work the clutch.

I would replace it with a new one, while you are at the parts store you will need to find the proper sized nuts to fit the bolts/studs as the new mount won't come with any.... I will see if i still have my BA/10 mount somewhere, and post some pictures for reference

:thumbsup: I love it! :popcorn:

all mine where there. before i did my swap, afterward my mechanic was lazy and did not put all the bolts back on..

:drool: Looks AWESOME! :cheers: a petal powered PTO winch on the front would be awesome

So i got a phone call from the person doing my taxes for me. what i thought she said was i owed $2945 federal and $6035 state... WTF? :grrrr: she called back apparently i miss heard what she said... state was $635 :bowdown: on a scale of 1 to 10, my stress level within the past 10 min had gone from 3 to 70, and back down to 5. I work in a bricked metal building, i should know by now never to take important calls inside, might mis interpret $635 for $6035.... now i have a killer stress induced headache... at least i will be able to pay my taxes after all.

:eek:

I used wine on linux to run photo shop. I have a older laptop but it seemed to work well.

Well looks like I can't make up my mind what i want to do with this MJ.... Pulled the engine, transmission, and transfer case from the donor XJ today. We did it the hard way for sure and it took 10 hours, but we did not break anything. :D our method was use a chain hoist to lift the drive terrain and move the cherokee back inch by inch till it was clear. at this point I have no idea how on earth i am going to get that engine into the Red Comanche. bot i think an engine balancer will be required this time.

1: I am addicted to Jeeps 2: If I am not at work I am working on a Jeep, or at least attempting. 3: I personally own 5 Jeeps... 1 runs well and 3 Technically run, and the last is without an engine. 4: I buy more stuff for my Blue MJ than myself and I still can't make it happy. 5: I am single, that might be in part of 1-4

I have a 05 WK Grand Cherokee with the 4.7 V8, I love it :yes: I really would have wanted the 5.7 V8 or the 3 liter Turbo diesel, only because I use my WK to tow stuff when needed. I personally have not had any problems with my Grand Cherokee. I do however have something against the last owners and their need to replace stuff with cheap aftermarket crap, and cut random speaker wires... My Room Mate has a 01 WJ Grand Cherokee Limited with the 4.0 I-6. he bought it a few months ago, and the last owner apparently did not keep it up well. we found this out a few weeks after he bought it. it still drives great, and is still dependable.

Almost makes me want to swap my D44... almost.. Great write up! will do on one of my other MJs when i replace their D35s

My Grand Cherokee is a 05 WK with the 4.7 it has been a good motor for the short time i have had it... I already put 10-15000 miles on it sense i bought in November. last week it had no problem moving 1,400 lbs of stone. normal driving for me is about 40% city 60% highway and i had been getting about 17.7 MPG. I plan to starting using fuelly.com to track my mileage. here is a linkhttp://www.fuelly.com/driver/blue88comanche/grand-cherokee my user is Blue88Comanche

more info please :D

haha! ive had my buddies grand over 120 to where the speedo was almost touching the orange line where odometer is. funny as hell. it was shaking so violently and he was freaking out telling me, "don't you think we should slow down?".. and it was HIS zj! :rotf: my Boss's Hummer H2 well we where not really going that fast.. his cluster is broke... my 4.7L 05 WK speedometer tops out at 140 MPH i think. however the GPS, and radar gun.., top out much higher.
