Another Newbie

[ttruckinon]

Hi all,

 

New here and I just bought my Comanche a couple of weeks ago. It's a 91 2wd with the 4.0 motor and so far I am quite pleased with her. The seat needs "work" (I feel like I am sitting on the floor) and there is no headliner but the body is clean and she runs and drives good.

 

I am not an off-roader and I bought the truck to drive to work and to pull my trailer when I go to the track.

 

We (My better half and I) also have a 98 Grand Cherokee that I like so when I saw the Comanche for sale I grabed it. Looking forward to fixxing her up a bit and a lot of fun miles in her.

Welcome from another 2WD owner. We're a rare breed here amidst all the amazing off road rigs but I still learn a lot from these guys.

 

You'll have a lot of fun with that truck, I've had mine since it was new and I still love it to death. How many miles do you have on yours?

Ha, another Illinois guy.

 

Were going to outnumber those damn Michiganers, now!!!!

98000 or thereabouts. Now if I can just find a set of bucket seats.

Typo. they hired me cause I can drive, not cause I can type!

I will keep it 2wd. I just bought it to pull my trailer to the race track and for to and from work. I can always steal my wifes Grand Cherokee if I want to go 4 wheeling.

I haven't started racing yet, just track days so far. The last 3/4 years were on a Suzuki TL1000S. (#280)

 

 

I just picked up a GSXR 750 for next season.

 

 

And here are some pics of the new truck.

 

 

 

 

By the end of this season I hope to try entering a race or two just to see how I can do.

1. Mad props to anyone racing cycles. Big nuts involved.

2. Nice looking truck! That thing is clean. Be sure to post up in the comanche picture thread at the top of the forum.

Another welcome to the forum. Assuming your 4.0 is the HO in combination with 2wd and SWB, i bet you can really roast the tires! Anyway, nice looking Comanche and bike too :-D. BTW is yours a manual or auto tranny?
