RockinMJ Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 While waiting to pick my daughter up today I spotted an mj across the street. It was at auto repair shop. Talked to owner of shop and gave him a comancheclub card to give to the owner. It was there getting a slave cylinder. Nice looking comanche.

RockinMJ Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Got the doors on today . Made it look totally different. Well I was going to try and put the xj tank where the spare was but have decided against it. Going Tuesday to pick up a Dakota tank. Found it for 40 bucks off a running 99 Dakota.

H3RESQ Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I think it looks great with the 97+ door and fender color, Especially with those charcoal wheels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockinMJ Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 So undecided on color. I still have plenty of time though. haha. About to go pick up my door panels. Found them on craigslist. Guy didn't want to separate so I'm getting the rear to but for 50 bucks I couldn't pass up. I will have to paint them but no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinMJ Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Got one of the door panels painted tonight and it turned out great. Before and after pic. Started fabing xj brackets for seats. We also picked up a new boxer pup today. Her name is Piper. We already have one boxer who is 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Dude Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 You named her Piper because they also built a Comanche, right? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinMJ Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 No my wife came up with the name but that is pretty cool. She will get a kick out of that. I have tried to name pets after jeeps before and it was vetoed rather quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Dude Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Yes...Piper was very big in using Indian names - Apache, Aztec, Comanche, Cherokee, Cheyenne, Navajo, Navajo Chieftain, Mojave, Pawnee, Pawnee Brave (had a 720 cu. in. 400 Hp engine!) Saratoga, Seminole, Seneca, and Pocono - although that one was never put into production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
