Pete M Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 can't take her with me to georgia. She'll make a great base for someone's offroader or winter beater.the good:-clean Michigan title,-all new hard brake lines,-95 XJ double booster installed-bucket seats-strong running 4.0 in it. (A/C but has a leak)-WJ lower control arms-56k mile Dana 44 with 3.55 gears-upgraded heavier duty leaf springs-dual exhaust-90k mile late model HP Dana 30 with 3.55 gears, good brakes-AX-15 that's been converted to external slave-NP-242 allwheel drive t-case-gas tank skidplate-five 31x10.5" MTRs on Canyons. (2 of the MTRs are a bit ratty looking. I used to have 4 good ones until some passer by decided to knife a hole in one)the bad:-crack in the windshield-fuse box suffers from exposure to a past master cylinder leak-rust issues: one rocker is bad, one door bottom is bad, frame is rusty, bed is decent, drivers floor has new sheetmetal welded in, pass floor is rusty but no holes.-throttle body return spring is broken-interior is apart-no carpet or headliner -bad shocks$650 takes it all.build thread is here: http://comancheclub.com/topic/1484-project-how-i-feel-mjs-should-have-come-from-the-factory/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohic Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 :( Sad... but probably for the best. Wouldn't want to bring another rusty-disease spreading truck into a clean environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 you say that, but the 88 is coming with :yes: the reality is that it costs too much to justify transporting the 90 and 86 down and I have a rust free truck waiting in GA to become my next project.

Automan2164 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Killing me with the hoisting of parts... I want to sell it for you, but it's a bit hard when I read into it and find out that it's going to be missing components. How much for it as it sits with the D44, AX15, MT/R's on the canyons, and semi-running condition we last saw it in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpace6a Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I don't need anymore projects...but man its tempting to hook up the car trailer and come get em both from you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 yeah I know. :( sorry 'bout. It's just that I've gathered all my favorite factory parts together and it's really tough to let them all go for cheap just so I can then start all over again gathering parts in GA. another guy might just strip 'm and junk 'em, but I'm trying reeeealy hard to keep my gals out of the scrap man's hands. :( the 44 is never for sale. I guess I'd like to see 500 for everything (including the np242 and driveshafts but with the 35 and original leafs reinstalled). Just make sure that the new potential owner understands how much nicer your trucks are than this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy90 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 So this is a riunning and driving Comanche? Where at in Michigan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 not at the moment she isn't. replace the TB spring, replace the fuse box, reassemble the interior, etc and she could be running. it's a project that stalled and needs to be finished. I'm in 48193. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 So going off what you said above in response to Rob, 500 would take it complete with the d35 swapped back in, np242, driveshafts, and on the Canyons? If so very very interested since I could easily swap my black interior and brand new BFG ATs over from my '86 then try to sell that thing. TB spring and fuse box won't be too bad if that's really all it would need in this case. Just in need of a running MJ at this point or I'm stuck driving a '97 Taurus for the foreseeable future, not something I really want to be seen driving (it's "light demin blue metallic" to boot). Huge plus that you're only 2 hours from me, been looking at some much further away. Any chance of getting some more pics? If you want email or phone number to send them to, just shoot me a PM. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 just like any other non-running rig, I can't promise that's all it needs. :dunno: I just know that those were next big things on my to-do list. The big ticket items are all in good shape. there are pics in the build thread, but I can for sure go get some more. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 oh, and she'll need shocks. the ones I have are old. I'll work on scrounging up a better set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 I have the stock 4wd leafs that can go back in it. You ever seem seal the driver's floor pan? floor pan still needs finishing. I know. I suck at life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Ah, bottom of doors are gone. Explains why it doesn't look too bad in the other pics, you're a master of hiding the problems with angles. How is the frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 the 3/4 pose is an industry standard shot for showing off your truck. :thumbsup: that's all I was doing in the older photos. the frame is certainly rusty, but I can't find any spot that's rotted. if someone buys the whole truck i guess it'll come with the 5 canyons/mtrs. If anyone wants a rust-free truck, go down south or out west. this one is a good candidate for a winter beater or offroader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Wish you could bring the 4wd components with you so I could meet up :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
