Alright who the hell bought it??? Do they want to sell it? :cheers:

Well crap. Now I gotta hurry up and talk to the wifey.

That's something I didn't know. :eek: Won't your A/C compressor be running? I'll have to try this. Only if your A/C works in the first place. :nuts: And actually the A/C will run in defrost mode also. The point is to help remove the moisture from the air and dry it out faster inside the cab to help with foggy windows.

Its on the NE side. Algonac I belive. If I tell you for sure where you have to promise to give me first dibs on buying it. :cheers: Adam, I would love to go up and look problem is its like 4.5hrs one way. I just can't afford to waste a day and not come home with it. So if I can get someone who knows what to look for and is local to go give it a once over for me and its ok then we can make the trip. Plus I haven't told the wife about it yet. :eek: :brows:

I found a manche that I am thinking really hard about buying but kinda want to know what I am buying first. It is in the detroit area and I was curious if anyone up there would be willing to go look it over for me. I really want to buy it but just wanna be sure there aren't things that I don't see in the pics he has sent me. I really have a tough time asking this on here cause I am fearful that whoever goes to look at it will want to buy it. I need some feedback. What should I do?

yup

<---Owns a CJ and currently no MJ I wave at any Jeep that looks like they "understand". That being said if I see a Jeep and think "oh thats just a soccer mom" and it waves at me, YBYA I will wave right back. Jeep Wave freaking Rules

IMO you should have loaded it on tehre w/ the motor in the front for better tongue wieght, also the trailer looks very heavy duty... BUT since the rear axles are farther back on that trailer then there supposed to be,(there is a forumla to figure axle location for optimum tongue load/balance of the trailer in general)even w/ the motor in the rear of trailer, it still looks ,like to much tongue wieght. The first time we loaded it we went the other way (CJ facing forward) and the front end of the MJ started to come off the ground right about the time the rear wheels of the cj cleared the ramps. We turned it around and still had way too much tounge weight for a stock MJ but I had to get it home. The trailer was borrowed last minute from a friend who owns a car dealership. It is a 26ft flatbed and it is extremely heavy. On the way to pick up the cj I wondered if the MJ could pull the weight of the cj and the trailer. the trailer was noticeable behind even when empty. But the good ole 4.0 came through with flying colors. Man I miss that truck.

It can be really scarry towing anything oversized with an MJ. Granted if you weren't using the first trailer you could get your hands on to get your CJ off the interstate it might be a diff. story. This was after a ~35mi trip home. No trailer brakes and way too much weight for the MJ to handle.

:cheers: nice

Dude I wasn't saying that. I am just saying I don't mind driving a $#!&amp;box. I would however compliment the hell out of someone driving a cherry MJ. And from what you have described yours is. Now Pics? :cheers:

I can see both sides of the coin. But I am also of the opinion that to each his own. I personally wouldn't spend $3000 on a paint job but thats me. I don't knock a guy if he wants to. It really does come down to getting what you pay for.

And a black one on the trailer...

What about one that slides into a reciever hitch?

before you tear your motor apart try listening. Get a long pry bar or screwdriver or something metal. Put it against the waterpump and put your ear up to the other end. You should be able to hear the squeak. You might also try a mechanics stephescope. Or a piece of vacum hose will work too.

Check the balancer. Make sure it isn't hitting the timing cover. If it is the rubber isolator in it is shot. Just went through that with the wifes xj.

Well put. I am not a big fan of the 4dr pickup with a 4ft bed. I haul too much stuff and at times I find my mj inadequate (sp?). I think it is neat looking but not sure I would want one. Would be great to run parts in though.

Guilty as charged. :oops:

My bad. I didn't see it anywhere so I wanted to share. Do I need to delete it? I don't want to make anyone mad. :cheers:

I have never seen one come apart. But I couldn't imagine it would be pretty. The outer ring probably ways 1-2lbs itself so it you spin that at 2000rpm and just let it fly what do you think would happen :eek: :eek: :eek:

That was a buddy of mine. He sold the manche and bought a TJ :cry: You can find more pics. at Jeeps4ever.com Under Crazycooter56 :cheers:
