New here

[Dedaw]

Hey all, new here! Saving another (my first) Comanche from ultimate doom. Just wanted to say hey, and show off my truck. I'll make a project thread once I start working on it more. Picked her up for $1600. Needs paint, loses some oil, and the gauges are out of whack. But I love it. :cheers:

 

 

Nice tread, but they gotta go!

 

Backed into a giant @$$ tire, pitch black and my view was blocked. :dunno:

 

Interior's in great shape, minus the extremely saggy driver's side.

 

Bought her with 133k on the clock

 

Can't forget the stickers. They add 5HP and 2 inches of lift.

 

 

So... hey. :wavey:

[jimoshel]

Sounds like a Jeep nut. Your in good company. Welcome. :cheers:

[Dedaw]

Hahaha yes. I've quickly turned into a jeep nut, and didn't really think I would. Silly me. I've already seen 79873474 jeeps I wanna add to the collection. It's very nice being one of the only Comanches around my area, and will be the only nice one once I get a lift under her.

There's actually quite a few people with 'manches in washington. And i think i've seen about 10~ people on CC that live in wa.

 

 

Don't scrap the turbines.

 

 

Oh? People actually like them?

 

 

I have them on mine atm. Untill i get 33's & swap them out for some nicer rims.

[Zenobian_84]

First of all, a very nice truck to start out with. I don't know what it is, but that int/ext color combo is one of my all-time favorites on an MJ ;) :yes: You also lucked out getting it with only 135k on the clock :thumbsup:

 

Secondly,

Don't scrap the turbines.

I personally love the turbines. :chillin: Just picked up a set myself and got 'em put on. If you decide to ever give 'em the proverbial "boot" I'd be more than willing to send a few clams your way for the center-caps. Can't ever seem to find any down here that are worth buying; either that, or people want an arm and a leg for them. :nuts:

yea some do. I think its due to them being original and kinda rare. If they had some offset to them Id probably use some myself

[Dadinator]

Welcome.

 

I am also one of those who didn't think he'd like jeeps. I was all about sporty cars when I was young. Mustangs, Corvettes, etc.

 

Why would anyone want anything that slow that handles so poorly?

 

Now I don't have a sports car and have 2 jeeps. The comanche and the wifes TJ. She actually got me started on them. She wanted a jeep so I bought her the TJ back in 97. We still have that same one.

 

Though, I'd still kill to have a GT500, or a Viper. :brows:

I was actually looking at your build thread a while ago. Beautiful truck. Not many lifted comanches around us (that I've seen).

 

Thanks everyone else. :)

 

 

Just got a new stereo and front speakers installed in her yesterday. Sounds amazing! Once I sign papers on my new job (hopefully next week), I'm gonna take her back to get a sub and amp, and complete my stereo system for an easy $650. :brows:

thank, its a POS in my mind lol jason and seth both have nice rigs and are close. $650 for stereo stuff :eek: i have a mj dana 44 that i could part with that would be money better spent :D

[TylerJY]

Wow, another guy from WA? We need to all get together for a meet&greet sometime.. I still am one of the only people on here from EASTERN WA though.

[mnkyboy]

Last year a bunch of us went to the "Don't fear the Jeeper" show in Vancouver. It was nice to hang out with other MJ owners.

 

We will have to do something again.

[TylerJY]

I saw that, that was a month before I got my mj.. I was hoping to go this year, but they didn't do it :(

First things first. Whatever floats your boat. :roll:

For some reason... I have a soft spot for this thing:

 

 

Just something about an American car, that can actually handle and looks drop dead gorgeous, just gets me. I am the biggest Mopar guy, but that GT... Drool. I really wish I had paid more attention to the one the Ford dealer I used to work at had. Back then it wasn't on my radar though. Damn shame. How my taste has changed.

 

Anyway, /hijack.

 

OP, welcome to the club. Lots of good info here, hope you stick around.

Rob :cheers:

Just bought 200mm Hella E-Code H4s and 100/80 bulbs off Amazon. Expect them on mid-next week. :yes:

[cody4359]

Of course. I'm going to get the parts and make it myself, using go-jeep's guide.
