I just took a day and dropped the Comanche back to 8" of lift. Last week, I was out in the "back twenty" and got a little too top heavy for my liking while traversing a particularly steep part of the property. The very back corner of the property is all rocks in a wash gulley that hosts a wet...

As I search through the internet, every once in a great while I find something that I just might need to file away for later use. I've seen 'em for years and always assumed that the Quigleys and Pathfinders of the world used the same old truck/F-150 staples as every other Ford out...

I am working on getting a trailer towing package attached to the rear of the Honcho project. I'm looking for pics of various towing recievers mounted to the back of the Comanche. I've seen Draw-tite's setup. It utilizes the three stock locations on the factory step bumper. I'm curious to see if...

FINALLY, THE BLONDE JOKE TO END ALL BLONDE JOKES! There was a blonde woman who was having financial troubles so she decided to kidnap a child and demand a ransom. She went to a local park, grabbed a little boy, took him behind a tree and wrote this note: I have kidnapped your child. Leave...

I'm passing on the deal because of age and health concerns. Some of you young whipper-snappers may want to tackle this. There were little over 22,500 of these things produced. I've given all the details of the machine in the "other tech" forum under 1982 Scrambler. If someone is interested in...

Guys, I'm passing on the Scrambler. In the event that someone else might give it a proper home... I'm reporting the following. Body was in fair condition. The hard top was there, and the guy had a set of doors for it. When pressured to put more bang for the buck....he came up with a second set...

That I may be using up all my luck. Guy was sittin' in the Food Lion parking lot near my jobsite today. As I pulled in, he said he'd been noticing my new Comanche for several weeks and always wanted to look at it up close. As we talked, he asked if I knew any Jeepers that were in the market for...

I finally have lined up a set of hi-steer arms, Chevy knuckles, spindles, caliper trees and a new draglink/tierod system for my lift. Thing is, now I've heard two different opinions on whether the Ford rotors will work with the chevy spindles. I am pretty sure that the pieces are...

In what world can this continue to be pulled on people that actually selected their brands over other manufacturers? This is sad. I knew some of the story, but this highlights even more than I was aware of..... http://www.daimlerchryslervehicleproblems.com/

I was on Ebay last nite trying to bid on a set of Chevy spindles and caliper stands for my upcoming hi-steer (at close to 9" up front, this is long overdue) and having no luck (some people will actually pay three times what things are worth.....no common sense I suppose)... and ended up backing...

We just got blasted. I was working about 13 miles away from the house in Purcellville, Va. when the darkest clouds I've seen rolled in... Left the job, and ran into a WALL of water and 70 mph winds.... It was literally raining sideways. I sat thru a light with about 5 car lengths between me and...

http://www.autonews.com/news.cms?newsId=6149 Summary.... LOS ANGELES -- General Motors is testing a new all-wheel-drive layout for gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles that places electric motors in each of the front or rear wheels. The system would work in front-wheel drive cars and...

I don't know if and when this has been a topic here (sure it has at one time or another), but I'm having extreme difficulty getting a set of 35 inch tires balanced correctly... Whether it be the technicians, or the devices they're using, they never get a true zero balance. I remember that Bill...

Wife, two teenagers and I loaded and unloaded 500 bales of hay thru the weekend. These guys pushed all day, and when 6:00 came this evening, they were ready to shower and hit the town.... I remember when I could....but the remainder is a blur... I'm going to sleep now. ;)

I'm off this a.m. to pick up this guy.... http://www.shepherdrescue.org/pages/otherdogs.html I'll be heading thru C'ville and probably wandering out 250 towards Crozet as well.... I'm looking at another early Ford stepside bed while I'm out there.

Don't know the name of these wheels, nor the year of the application, but they are my favorite F-150 vintage wheel design. I scored 4 in perfect shape yesterday.....for 50 bucks total. These are 15 x 9" to the inside of bead retention on the inside, so I think technically they're a 15x8...

Wonder if this is a good thing, and the final end of the trolls... Or a bad thing? As I remember the Q-T forums before, there were a lot of great Jeepers on it. Hope that remains as a constant.

I have the factory item . The Rollbar for a short bed Comanche in great shape.... No rubber boot mounting kit, however. Sold that to a fellow in Ca. about three months ago. Make offer. I'm in Va. and will not ship it. May meet you somewhere. I have also located a single Ridge Runner RV trac 33...

You still have those 2 degree shims? I'm about to alter a Comanche....and they might just be needed for the rear pinion angle. I really don't expect that you've held onto them this long....thru the move and everything....but it would be great if you did, by some odd chance. :) You can hit me...
