TuttuT Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I love this jeep! going to be a long rd to recovery. It has a cracked frame in the reat but aquired another pair of jeeps who need help. So I have my work cut out for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuttuT Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 The black one has the broken frame. I have repairdd thr ignition system and brakes. I stopped really hard one day and the leafspring mount on the rear drivers side busted. The driveshaft fell out as well. I jakced it up put the shaft back in and refilled the fluid. I found some ratchet straps and three quarter inch cable and strappped it back together. ...... Now it has a small whole in the top of the radiator somewhere.... And the water pump might be foing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuttuT Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 The red one aka kicking wing needs some work. I originnally stumbled across it when i was suppose to go hiking... It jas all the parts TuttuT needed..... But he is pretty much a work truck. The frame is in amazing shape but the floor is gone on the driver side. On the positive side someone has already gone through the trouble oftaking out the interior. But had to gwt it towed to a friends bc 4 jeeps is two too many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuttuT Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Inside drivers door.... The frame is solid though 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuttuT Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 The Jeep gods have been kind to me!!!! The third MJ is in good condition but needs just a few things to be road ready. I fixed the colymn shifter link on it and POWWOW... Fired right up. Theses comanches are tricky but seems pretty basic when it co es to fixing them. It has the speing swap done too the rear.... Not sure wheter to swap it back or lift the front.... Also need to work on the steeri g column. I thinkthe previous owner installed an automatic trans and put in 4×4....

eaglescout526 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Well...lighting is something to be desired. Well it seems like you have good chunk of work cut out for ya. Trucks look nice though, shame one was owned by Fred Flintstone. Be sure to register them and you'll get a build date and build sheet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I'm guessing the lens is dirty? or maybe the phone case's window? awesome trucks though. I've got no doubt you'll give them all the attention they need. they just need more steel thrown at 'em. rusty trucks need lovin' too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 what components do you have now? also, clean your lens. at least that's what I'm assuming is causing the fuzziness of the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
