Care to elaborate? We actually have a HUGE cluster of very active members right around this area. I am in Harvard, Halfway between the lake and rockford.

 

The locals are all getting together this weekend for the Jefferson swap meet. You should come.

You don't have to drive the MJ unless you want to. Its just more of a bunch of like-minded dudes hanging out. But, I understand you want it fixed.

 

I'll be driving the ZJ. :chillin:

if do you want some more pics. i would be happy to do some more.

 

 

You should start yourself a project thread for all the photos. :thumbsup:

 

Can you take a side shot of the coils? I imagine the bow forwards a bit. How about a couple shots of how the radius arms mount to the body?

Had this puppy for 2 years now and just found this site. I had thought I was the only person who knew these fine beast exist. Glad to be wrong. Planning on building one one of these days. Might be able to do it now that I work at O'Reilly's. Makes parts affordable.

 

 

:cheers:

 

To those who know what's great.

Just got this 87 with 136k miles, the previous owner put a $300 Maaco paint job on it in the original color, but besides that it appears everything is original on it. Even the tape player! I've been lurking on this board for months and combing ebay, cl, and other sites for a silver Comanche with 6 cyl, auto, a/c, p/s, 2wd, no rust and I finally found one.

 

Future mods: Mild suspension lift, rims, AT tires, exhaust, put new foam in seats (after 23 yrs they are kind of beat down). We just bought a house so the mods won't be as fast I would like, but slowly but surely, they will come.

First post! :wavey:

Just picked this up last weekend. I have alot of work ahead of me. :D

 

I see lotsa potential.

 

Yeah, it looks like crap I know. I'll fix that...

 

 

Mmmmm. beer...

 

I just don't think these two are going to get along to well

 

It was formally an 88 4 cylinder stick. It was gutted and everything when I got it. Missing all the interior pieces pretty much, dash is gone, and all the HVAC stuff was laying in whats left of the bench seat. Currently looking for a garage to put it in and then the games will begin! :cheers:
