I made fun of the over glorified iPod touch too. But then I played with one in Best Buy and had to have it... :shake: I also bought it as a laptop replacement for college, mostly because I used the Internet only at school. 10+ hours of battery life is awesome along with Netflix :yes: I still don't really know why I sold it... :nuts: I am going to use the money to buy a Willy's Jeep this weekend, so I guess I lost one toy to get another! and if I don't get the Jeep well I am just going to get another iPad. as long as i have a toy I will be happy I love my IPAD and Iphone combo and I am an IT guy. I use Gotodocs and can edit any of my Microsoft Office Docs, I use a cloud sync program called sugarsync and my home computer, work computer, IPAD and Iphone all sync to the cloud, I have 20 gB worth of data I can access from anywhere. When I find myself needing the use of my laptop I use logmein to access my laptop at work or home. The best thing about a tablet is when you travel at the airport the security folks do not make you put it in its own tray or remove the cover. :yes:

Mike, You are a lucky guy! I had tickets promised to me for Sunday's activities but they fell through :shake: Looks like a beautiful day at the track!

Thanks Mike! Thanks to you I have a number of hard to find parts that helped make this Jeep.

Jackson Browne "Running on Empty" :banana:

X2 on the ding king for $15, the dry ice did not work for me and if you try to heat it up then apply dry ice you will cloud your paint.

OMG great find! It looks like the black one used in the two early Jeep Comanche commercials on Youtube.

Brandon, Did you plug the old speakers in and see if tey had sound? If not it could be the HU (head unit) and not the speakers.

Prayers for you, and your family Jeff.

For me that was my fuel sender unit having cracks and rust. Your fuel sender unit is located on the side of your gas tank where the fuel hose feeds in. You might be lucky enough (if you do not live in the rust belt areas) to have the gasket leaking, around the sender unit.

This is the closest vehicle I can find to what you are asking clean 91 4X4 I can find, but it is out here in the Bay Area. You can buy the Eliminator Stickers for it now if you wish. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/2424948801.html

Arent't Dana 35's with 27 tooth and the dana 44 30? I didn't think you couold interchange them.

I bought mine on ebay four years ago and I remember 3 or four different vendors one with kind of a funky blue light setup with blue lights and regulators rather than just the flexible strip. Now I can't find any of those guys on ebay any longer.

Correction Don, Cockers are ingenious at stealing or otherwise absconding food sources, but they have no common sense like for example a German Shepherd that I have witnessed avoiding snakes, opening doors, and darn near steering a truck. All that said I do fancy my cocker as she provides hours of amusement but nothing like Gus!

Don, you have got to get video of that, it would win some sort of award for sure. :cheers:

Don, LOL! In Gus' mind those Geese are the darn biggest North America Woodcocks he ever saw! Reminds me of the Sylvester the cat episode when he tried to "mouse" a kangaroo. :clapping:

Way back in late 1985, I was considering a 1986 XLS 2.8 V6 with power everything and it had the full time 4WD like the selec trac.

Thanks everyone! I learned and took much advice from many on this forum before I upgraded or modified anything on this Comanche. Don I actually have all the material from your writeup to upgrade the load sensor, but unlike the 99 intake, and iceland winch plate :wall: where I am too chicken to attempt the mod on a weekend so I can still have my daily driver, I have no excuse for procrastinating on the load sensor mod :doh: Much thanks to Pete, Eagle, Don, Rob, Offroader461 as well as all the members here that have contributed so much in the way of help, selling me great parts, and exchanging knowledge to make that black MJ Eliminator a reality.

I was in Maryland off of Long Green Pike for some R and R and did not see one Comanche on the road the whole four days I was there. I am not at all shocked they were picked clean long ago as Comanche's must be sort of a rarity out there.

Done!

Thanks Joe. I was in Japan TDY when Paka hit Guam, and could not get out for a week to go home as the Guam civilian airport runway was closed due to debris. Finally got a ride back on a C130 to Andersen AFB. Mama handled it alone with the kids and did well as always. We were w/o power for over two months in that ordeal, but was a piece of cake compared to Pinatubo. :ack: Always had a generator since those times. Still no power here except via generator, but at least now I can get gas locally by waiting in line for a couple of hours. They're talking more storms coming thru Wed/Thurs next week. Took a long ride thru the boonies today on the bike and after all the wreckage I saw, we were very fortunate here. Ran into an all-black line crew from Sumter, SC down here clearing trees and restoring aerial power lines, and stopped to thank every one of them. Great bunch of guys busting their @$$ to help. Was a wonderful experience talking with these dedicated guys in the middle of nowhere, AL. My daughter recovered her car today from her ex-house in Tuscaloosa, lots of dents and scratches from the fallen trees, but it's drivable. Lots of looting going on down there as there always is by the scumbags. Curfews in place and the cops are doing a great job. UA has cancelled finals and is letting the students out early as they are nearly dead in the water power-wise. She's been out leading her AF ROTC troops helping out in the more devastated Tuscaloosa civilian community areas and hopefully she will be coming home in a few days. She's tough as nails because she's been through a lot worse in some of the places she where grew up and learned well. Ah well, we be making it. :cheers: Thanks for the update Don, glad to hear you, Momma, and the children are OK. :cheers: Let me know if the beer gets low!

Cullman county is the next county west of me. They took a hard hit. I had to drive 100 miles south today in the MJ to find gas for the generator, and the devastation was horrible. The power lines were still on the roads but the trees had already been cleared. Several line crews on-site from NC, SC, VA, etc. giving our local boys a hand. Man, I've been thru the Mt. Pinatubo volcanic eruption, Typhoon Paka that leveled Guam, and numerous other typhoons, and this ranks right up there. 280 body count so far and many more unaccounted for. And dead animals and birds everywhere in the fields. Damn vultures and turkey buzzards survived though. We were very lucky in my area, just trees transplanted, but the main TVA feed from N. Alabama that 90% on the rest of the state was completely wiped out. I think we're in for many many more days w/o power. The Inet comes on maybe 1-2 hours a day, so that's good. We're stocked up pretty well on food, have water, and the generator will power the fridges to keep stuff from rotting. And the brew cold. :cheers: Don, I cannot even imagine anything worse than Paka on Guam! Sounds like your area dodged a big one let's hope no more storms are coming to your area, the South has endured more than its fair share of misery this year. Best of luck and if there is anyway I can help PM me. :cheers:

Sounds terrible, prayers to all of you. I can see retired USN Don (Hornbrod) still has his priorities in order by keeping that beer cold! Beer helps in times of misery, God bless you all.

Great looking truck, definitely a one of a kind barn yard find :cheers:

Thanks Johnny now I am really bummed :cry: Am I the only guy in California that has to deal with smog Natzi's? I would love to find a different shop around here to smog my truck, I tried three with the same results. If I find a SF Bay Area shop that doesn't look at the lights at startup I will certainly take note for others.

had mine smogged about 6 wks ago -- tech at the jeep dealer in fort bragg spent 25 mins trying to figure out why the light did not come on (or course it was missing) -- he finally went to the service mgr for advise -- he could not figure it out either -- they finally gave up and because all else was good -- they passed it . That is how I wish my story ended, but alas the smog techs out here weren't as forgiving. When they failed me, I lucked out and found a DRB II scanner on ebay, turned off the light and I was passed after a second fee :fs1: . I think some folks here are confused between the HO Maintenance required lights and the Renix module that is no longer available.
