Actually useful PO

I’ve heard some nightmare stories about the condition that previous owners have left their Comanches when passing it on. The more I look around and try to preventatively maintain, I realize that one of the people that owned this jeep really cared for it and was also a big fan of cruiser54. A ton of cruisers fixes that I’ve gone through have already been done
 

I knew I had some sort of aftermarket injector but finally got close enough to see that he had put the Bosch 746 4 hole injectors in, which saves me a few hundred bucks. 

 

They switched to the HO air box to simplify the vacuum tree set up and delete the EGR at the same time. R134a conversion already done. The list goes on. 
 

It’s sad to see that they weren’t a member of this forum though. I would love to be in contact with the owner that did all this work. 
 

The guy that I bought this Jeep from originally got it for his daughter as a first car, but she didn’t like it and wanted a white wrangler. He got her the wrangler and sold the truck to me. Super unfortunate story there but not surprising lol.

You are very very fortunate. What else did they do?

 

The PO (original owner's son) of my '88 Ranger did a lot of thoughtful things and took very good care of the truck. But he also did some stupid things to it too. He was 16 once, ya know.

That is awesome!

 

I was lucky enough to buy a Comance that had recently spent 15 years owned by a Jeep dealership.  They did a couple things that saved me a ton of headache including putting in a new clutch and installing dealer air conditioning, R134a.  I even got all of the service records from their ownership.  Unfortunately it was their parts running truck and they differed a lot of other maintenance, but it was generally simple stuff.
