reson46 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 It already has a name, Comanche. All of my vehicles were named by the factory. Willy Now that's some serious "out of the box thinking" Willy....... very progressive of you..... Actually I think of it as quite progressive and evolved not to give identities to inanimate objects. Nor do I assign vehicles genders. These are things, tools, objects to possess. They do not have personalities or humanistic qualities. At least personally they are not something to fetishize and I do not understand the need to humanize these objects. Willy
jbain Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 We name other humans so that we can differentiate ourselves from others. Saying "Hey You" in a crowd isn't very effective, We give dogs and cats names so we can differentiate between them as well. If we buy 10 turtles and place them in a tank we will name them so we can start to learn their differences and eventually tell them apart. Every ship from the beginning of ocean travel until today is inanimate but it's given a name....... this is done for the same reason as above...... Trains, hurricane's and even storms are named.... again to differentiate. Here we are on a website with countless Jeeps all with the same name....... should we differentiate? .... If the need didn't exist why would the factory just not call everything a Jeep? Should history have recorded the Titanic sinking as " A ship hit an iceberg" "Thinking of a nonhuman entity in human ways renders it worthy of moral care and consideration" someone from Harvard recently wrote this on the subject...... how many of us here have spent countless hours and resources giving our Jeeps care and consideration? But ultimately there is no correct answer, some people feel very passionate about naming their MJ's and some find it silly..... you decide if you think yours deserves it..... and like Willy says above these are my personal opinions. Sorry I hijacked your post..... H3RESQ
ComancheKid45 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 :agree: Anyway H3RESQ, how bout a new photo to get us hijackers back on topic! :rotfl2:

mnkyboy Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Those are nice. I recently painted my first rc body,previously I had always bought prepainted ones. It came out pretty nice but nothing like yours, now I can appreciate how much work goes into one.

pooslinger900 Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 this thread should never be on page 4! I know it's RC season but no new toys or adventures for this beauty? :popcorn:
H3RESQ Posted November 25, 2013 Author Posted November 25, 2013 Well it is cold and sunny here right now. I took it out for a spin yesterday for a couple hours. It has pretty much just been sitting in the garage last couple months waiting for some snow.
H3RESQ Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 New seals going in the Cherokee so drove the Comanche last couple day. Forgot how fun it is to drive. :yes:
H3RESQ Posted April 8, 2014 Author Posted April 8, 2014 HAHA, hey guys!! Sorry I guess the update would be.....I built her, now I'm just enjoying driving her. She has been reliable and so there is not much to update. She got a new ball joint recently and a new battery. Otherwise just fluid changes. I guess the update is....she is great. I am very happy with how she turned out. Wheels great, drives great, looks great. But....the reality is you guys probably just want pictures..........I'll get some fresh one's up soon!!
nick6053 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Nice work! I really enjoyed reading your build, I like the bedsides, my truck is a Michigan truck and has the wheel well cancer, I think I may " fix" it this way... lots of cool ideas, thanks for taking the time to document it all. nick
H3RESQ Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 If someone wants this thing.....20k cash! (firm), or will consider trades for 4 seat wheeler (must be streetable), car, truck.(trades would need to be 22-25k private party value)

H3RESQ Posted May 27, 2014 Author Posted May 27, 2014 The MJ has been SOLD. Thanks to everyone on here that followed my build.
