Nice! And another product of Minnesota as well... thanks for supporting us.

I need to be the first to say it?... Nothing wrong with a little man-scaping.

:drool: ... and welcome!

Be careful with that! In the past, I've heard to many people saying, "he runs real good!" as compared to the flip side of, "she needs a little work".

If I were on the lookout... I ordered a few sets when I did, you know, just in case... I'd go to a sign maker or anyone with a vinyl cutter. Have them measure it up and they'd give you a big sticker to slap on there in its place.

I dunno... looks to be an awful lot of space between the cab and the rear wheels.

Typically, I prefer to not view hairy fellas.

Seems as though the only vehicles of mine that I was naming were the ones that I ended up selling and regretted later. I stopped naming them... now I've got too many vehicles. :doh:

When I was working on mine, there was a guy on ebay that sold just the stripes without the faded section at the bottom. I could do some digging to find the seller, but last I looked, he wasn't around anymore.

Surprised this hasn't been posted again. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Archer-Brothers-Championship-Jeep-/230879258949?pt=Race_Cars_Not_Street_Legal_&hash=item35c179e945#ht_500wt_1183

I had a friend in college with a pet turtle. Messy little creatures, aren't they? He couldn't go longer than a week without cleaning out its tank before it pooped everywhere and stunk up the whole place. Seemed to be able to spray up on the glass too making it not only a smelly environment but also not very pleasing to look at. I see yours has gotten loose on your seat.

Only temporary. I've got hopes of working on it this winter in time for enjoying something new for summer. http://comancheclub.com/topic/23055-hopscotch-on-a-car-title-vw-dune-buggy-build/

It's nice to see you adding to this truck still!... which is good, because it appears that there is a little less of the truck than I sold you.

Thanks guys! Lots of "floating" siding to get an old, crooked house looks fairly straight. Spent the morning finishing up the garage. I put the seal up around the garage doors and it's not noticeably less drafty in there. I went over and priced out what it would be for insulation too. Really not all that much but I'll need to add some additional bracing to the roof trusses before I'll trust anymore weight than they already support. Nice and clean!... let's see how long that'll last. The new stalls are a little less nice to look at, but it's all very functional. I looks tight, but there's tons of room around the green ZJ and the covered up Eliminator. As far as the two and a half in the back, there's still nice walking room around everything. Still have some stuff to finish up in the house yet but I'm happy that I can go out into the garage and find stuff. First time since we've lived here! :banana:

Yeah... tell me about it! That's where they always rust out, right? :roll:

:agree: That's a great example of a different twist on body panels! I'd love to have an excuse to put a set on an MJ but I've got plans for all my trucks. Guess that means I'll need to get another someday... I think it would be a great alternative for our rusty trucks of the north. Yours looks great!

Looks good, brochacho! Any plans of putting some of that pearly white over the POR-15 in the engine bay?

Standing on the snow blower actually! :laughin: Couple more pictures from the day... I'm trying to figure out ways of being more efficient with my storage since I've got way less space than the old shop. Made up a shelf for under my steel table, clever storage for grinding wheels and accessories, and a hanger for extension cords. Still have a little bit to go on the other half. ... note the snow blower in the front corner by the garage door. :thumbsup:

Starting to feel like a home again.

Sorry, dude... not really my cup of tea. I just like bright colors because they're easy to see!

... but make sure you align four mirrors just right with a fifth mirror angled towards a half moon to show the hologram inscription. :peek:

I like how I just read across the title of the topic and instantly thought of the phrase being used by someone who is ridiculously excited about it! "What?! A club?!... Just for Comanches?! OH, WOW!! Who'd a thunk it?!?!" Like some kind of super elite group that someone just found out about and wouldn't ever have thought existed for any good reason. Or like a quiet brethren using cool handshakes that mean different things and secret ways of passing messages back and forth without anyone else knowing about it but at the same time in plane sight as if keeping our information safe from prying eyes... Free Mason type of secret lifestyle kind of deal! Awesome... Now found out, you're likely to find yourself spiraling into a pool of knowledge only few can understand. Why is my truck more special than others on the road? Why do I find myself looking at other Jeeps on the road and somehow feel as though I'm looking down on them as if from some metaphorical pedestal? Yet, why does my truck break down at the worst times?... is it fate? Is it telling me something? Is someone telling me something? Is one of my new found brothers trying to reach out to me by some spyish means? What does this all mean? What does any of this mean? Who am I? How did I find myself with these questions? You may now answer this by saying, "I am a Comanche Club member" with a profound period at the end of that sentence... just be sure to put questions in the proper section on the site. Welcome to you. Make sure to get Pete your ring size for your decoder ring.

Yeah... I would! From the few times that I've said that here, I have to say that it made me smile a little bit knowing that someone pays that close attention. Hat's off to you, sir! Back on topic... er... off topic?... I look at the idea that if I were to do a full electrical swap, why wouldn't I want to go as new as I can within reason? Even the difference between my '91 and '88 as far as the condition of the wiring is astounding! Only a few years difference there, but going from the '96 to a '01 I think I'd see the same thing. How much difference is there between the '96 and '97+ electronics as far as engine performance or just easy of working on? I understand that it would be easier to just go with a late '96, but if there would be any benefits of going newer for any reason I think I'd be for it. As far as the '80s-tastic feel, I like that I drive a product of the '80s! I like the feel of it. I like how it makes me feel when I'm driving it. I like knowing that I'm enjoying something that was the leader of what it was and at the top of its game back in the day. If I was in the situation of updating, I would definitely want to do so without disturbing that feeling, But I digress...
