Belto Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 with all the searching Ive done in this past 3 days, and all the reading here in the past 2 days I'm overly exited to buying it, but the guy won't pick up the cell,, it goes directly to the machine,, and he has not returned any of my messeges nor emails,, so probably his out off the island on a trip,, so when he gets back he should get back at me,, but Ill still call him every day till he pics up..

Pete M Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 also where a good online parts store..? Depends on what you want. A lot of stuff is shared with the Cherokee XJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildman Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 also where a good online parts store..? I like Rock auto for general replacement parts, but some of the parts are as good and less at Advance Auto Parts store (Partsamerica). www.rockauto.com/ www.partsamerica.com/ Both of which you should not have a problem getting shipped to the Island. And that MJ is clean looking, and the price is right. Stay on it, it should be a good deal for you :D And Welcome to the Club :waving: a1awind - Great list, got it printed out :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I need this truck for work/offroad project... Are you sure this is a 4x4? I don't see the emblem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1awind Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 i think in PR it would more than likely be a 2x4 ...being tropical. finding that list was the jackpot pete should make the list a sticky in the tech forum. I was surprised to see the talon has a jeep letter designation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Welcome, Belto. If you have technical questions that you can't express in English, send them to me in Spanish. My Spanish is terrible, but my wife is from Chile and she may be able to translate. If not, I met her through a Jeep friend in Chile who speaks English pretty well, so we'll be able to get you some kind of answer. www.quadratec.com has a lot of stuff for the Cherokee, and many Cherokee parts also fit the Comanche.
