Blue88Comanche

Pretty Cool where do you find all these things?

don't forget about the Comanche Club Discount at Hellcreek. I think it knocks off 10% I love my MT springs from Hellcreek as a comparison the top pack is my old standard 4x4 pack the bottom it the MT HC pack

Thanks :D but you lost me on the Freeze/thaw thing... :dunno: it was a great day yesterday to work on it. better now then in the summer when the temp average is around 90+

Thanks! my grandmother had a huge pile of bricks in the back yard when the house was first bricked in, 50 years ago... now that I am Renting the house from her I can do these little projects that will make the house nicer, both by adding the patio and removing the unsightly pile of bricks. I am also making a fire ring in the back yard from my Mom's old side walk.. Guess I can get the recycle merit badge now LOL here is a pic of mom's fire pit, i will be making one similar only about 4 times larger and stacked 3 stones high.

I had yesterday off so I did some home improvements. Well 5 hours and just over 950 bricks later I came finished my Patio and parking spot. Its not long enough to pull the Jeeps all the way on it but is big enough that if it rains everyone can step out onto the patio with out stepping into a mud hole. Before, a mud hole. one of several loads of Bricks

here are some more pics of my sig:

Alabama's Pistol Laws are a little twisted in my opinion. Alabama is now an Open Carry state meaning you can walk around town without a pistol permit as long as the pistol is visible, However you are required to have a Permit to transport your pistol in a vehicle. I could Open Carry walk to the 20 miles to the shooting range if i want but i can't transport it in my Jeep. the ONLY times i can transport without a permit as previously stated are from the place of purchase to my home or place of business, but once home or at work it can't be transported from one to the other. however as long as i am on my property I can have it in my Jeep and conceal carry if i want, its just the public that requires a permit. Must be a specific Bama county thing for the OP. I got my pistol permit from my local county sheriff's office. Took about a week for the background check, cost $7.50. The permit authorizes you to carry it unloaded in your vehicle and transport it anywhere in the state or any other state that recognize the AL pistol permit reciprocal agreement (most all the southern states). While in transport ammo must be in a locked container not in the glove compartment or readily accessible - read trunk or pickup bed. In Alabama its the county sheriff that gives out the permits, and each county has different requirements. My requirements for Mobile County are, because i am under 25 I must provide a copy of my Diploma or GED, have 2 letters of recommendation stating my character and judgment, submit the permit application and pay $20. and because AL is a MAY issue state the Sheriff could may or may not allow me to have a permit depending on his judgment or mood.

I have the old cable driven cable, will that still be the same?

so, find the tooth count on the speedo gear, find the maching number on the sender (the part with the cable) and centre that with the bolt that holds it in. sounds easy enough. I shall report back tomorrow :wrench: :D

:drool: :popcorn:

my problem is i can't get the teeth to mesh properly... but it has to be done at just the right angle or so i am told... any help would be helpfull

Saturday I spent all day Driving around Baldwin County, AL in crappy weather looking for the Gun show. We looked at a bunch of pistols and held several, but never really finding anything in my budget. On our way home we tried to go to several pawn Shops but most were closed, the Last one before the interstate was open. He only had one Sig 226, and the Price tag said $600 which was just over budget. We talked for a while then I finally asked about the gun, he took it out of the case and I looked over it and he said "I can sell it to you for $450". So 30 minutes later I am the proud new owner of a 9mm 226. That night when i finally got home I took it apart and it seems to have been well maintained. so i cleaned and oiled everything. When I get my Pistol Permit I will be able to Take it to the range for the real test. if it doesn't work then the Pawn shop will pay for the repairs. Upon further research my Sig was proofed in 1985. I will post more pics tonight when i get home from work.

:cheers:

PM sent Thanks! :cheers:

I sorta jumped the gun a little, I think i ordered the High Alt for the 2.5 4Cyl. instead of the one for the 4.0 6cyl. the Part number for the part i ordered is 5300 5421 the part number for the 4.0 is 5300 3659 --------------- edit: the guy in the parts department said the part number changed, i bought it any way

congrats on the swap! :cheers: as for the axles depending on how much off roading and what size tires you plan to run, i may would start looking for a 3.54 or better ratio as well as keeping an eye out for a D44, ford 8.8, or Chrysler 8.25 for a stronger rear replacement

i also emailed the jeep parts department, i just got a reply saying there are some available in the atlanta wearhouse. the cost is $49.00

how much were they?

just called my local dealer (Mobile, AL), he said they can't get any... still won't hurt to call your local dealer.

there is a Comanche Club discount at 4wd.com or is it another webstore? more info please :D

the internet soes not have enough storage for the pics of jeeps i want... lol if it says JEEP i want it... :jump:

warn is my first choice if i had the money and wasn't on a budget....

I am looking for a winch and amazon has some good prices for superwinch and Smittybilt from 299-399 for 8000lb to 10000lb. what winch do you wheel with?

I had no other chose but to get my MJ. When mom and dad where buying the F-250 they traded in the Dodge Dakota v8 4.7L. that left me with my Grandfather's 1988 Pioneer 4x4. well lets just say I hated it to start with and leave it at that.... after about a year or so dad had it repainted as a gift and that is when i think I fell in love with my Comanche, and when my obsession began. now everyone at the auto parts store knows me as the Jeep guy, and my family asks what i did on my MJ last weekend.

where can i get one of those? last month my birthday cake had a JK on it because we could not find a comanche.. next year i was going to fix that and have a rc Comanche sporting the top of my cake :D that and it would be cool to have
