Ah Pete,  I was going to ask how he was able to store it sideways.  I could fit more vehicles in the yard if I knew his secret

I’ve seen that he’s down this way. I’ll have to try to catch up with him at some point.

Ratchet straps on the axles to the tie downs in the floor

I was just going through YouTube when some videos from the AMC Homecoming show in Kenosha popped up. This video starts with a walk around of my Comanche. There is also another Comanche around the 20 minute mark.

 

Its in a couple of other videos too, but none where it was actually walked around like in this one.

More parts!

It’s just a higher flowing mechanical fan since it creeps up over 210 when running at 75+ for over 2 hours.

More parts is never a bad thing

This is true! And it goes to show that a project is never truly finished. I’ve had this truck 5 years and still don’t think I’m anywhere near done with it.

They never really are. There’s never been a point where I’m searching to find something new to do to it

I believe it’s from an XJ with the towing package.

5 years ago today I brought this truck home! Doesn't feel like that long.

Fuel pump lock ring as gasket replaced as it started leaking. Other than that, it’s been a solid daily driver.

Can’t call it a pavement princess anymore. My parents took my mom’s JKU, my brother’s girlfriend’s family took their JKU and I took the MJ. Good times!

No, the pinstriping is only minor now that it’s been washed. I was more worried about where I smashed the diff off of a rock

That's such a nice truck.  That had to be painful.  I tweak when I think I see a scratch.

Thank you. It wasn’t too painful, no cosmetic body damage was done aside from a couple of scratches. They can easily buffed out, you can’t even really see them unless you know they’re there.

Picture of where the axle caught a rock. Plus a couple more from the trail.

I don’t know, Pete. I’m thinking more along the lines of keeping this more as a daily driver and getting a wrangler for wheeling. 

[Pete M]

also good.   but if you're going to wheel it, ya gotta protect it.
