Most of you MJ guys have likely already seen this at the Comanche Club, but I wanted to share this little gem of forgotten Jeep history with everyone else. What you see below is the Worlds Fastest Comanche and holder or the land speed record from 87-89 when Gale Banks beat it in an S-15...

I have (had?) a potential buyer for my tires (trying to raise funds for my new MJ project) and he's shying away due to BFG being absolutely insane. The BFG website lists a 7" rim as the widest for the 235, but a 8.5" for the 30" even though there's only like a 1/4" difference between the two...

88 MJ, 190k+ mile 4.0L It's sounds like a cross between a bolt being shaken around in a coffee can and a spoon in a garbage disposal. It doesn't have a particular rhythm to it and it isn't obvious as to precisely where it is being emitted from. I've pulled the oil pan and valve cover and...

Yup, it's that time of the year again. We've got 4 or 5 Comanches lined up so far, most seem to be pretty well built. Which trails we run will be based on the trucks that arrive. I didn't get to do the hard trails last year due to various issues. (cough..failed-fram-filter..cough), and so now...

The players: -86 MJ; 180k+ mile 2.8l, no wiring harness or dash (previous owner removed them after a fire in the harness and then never put them back since it ran good enough for farm work, I've since added wires to the lights and what-not to make the truck street worthy), it is 4wd but that...

Holy COW has it been a loooong time since I came up with the design. But I was finally able to finish up all the prep work and arrange a time to have Rob (who also did my rollbar) weld it all up. Jeep on! --Pete Everybody needs to know sombody who knows somebody that has a lift. :D Welding the...

Those are the *only* choices. I have a minispool in my 78 Ford Dana 44 front, but I could swap the spider gears back in without to much difficulty (gotta pull the ring gear off to do it). There is no budget or time (I leave next Monday) for anything else. Which would you run? I do have...

Say you were going to drive this: To this: which is 24 hrs from Michigan (spread over 4 days so hopefully the drive is still fun and doesn't become a chore), and you didn't have a tow rig. The first weekend is in Moab with Rick and his MJ and friends, then my best bud Mike flys in to...

If anyone has seen this on the web already, I apologize for eating up another two minutes of your time. Apparently my original post here didn't go through cause I can't find it anywhere. But I have a question for you, why did you click on it again? :laugh3: My truck *desperately* needed some...

Here you go! MJ on the right. Notice the size difference, the mounting difference and the bulb usage difference. Let there never EVER be further doubt as to the NON-interchangeablity of the two, regardless of how similar the exteriors may look. :D Jeep on! --Pete ComancheClub.com

The weekends of: May 7th in Moab, Utah May 14th in Colorado at a to-be-decided trail May 21st at the Rockport Offroad Park (RORP) in Illinois The difficulty of the trails we run are dependent on the participating trucks. All MJ owners are invited, your truck doesn't have to be lifted. :D Go to...

I've found two different series at amazon and was wondering if anyone has experience with them. "Backcountry Adventures: Utah" and "4wd Adventures: Colorado" by Peter Massey and "Guide to Colorado Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails" and "Guide To Moab, UT Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails" by...

Come one, Come all, to the first of what we hope will be many Jeep Comanche Pow-Wows! This one is for the midwesterners and is being held at The Badlands on October 23rd . Now, we don’t have anything big planned, it’s just a few of us from the Comanche Yahoo Group getting together for the...

What I'm working with is a 127K mile 88 4.0L that was stripped down to the head gasket for inspection and is sitting on an engine stand. This is going into my 88 MJ to replace the tired and leaky 186K+ mile 4.0L. I'm at the crossroads of whether or not to upgrade the camshaft. The cam never...

Just wanted to share some pics of my newly completed rollbar. I am SOOO geeked about it! :D Everyone sporting those tacky double-tube over-glorified chrome lightbars can now officially bite me. :moon: It's made of 2" DOM .120 tube and is welded/bolted directly to the frame. A local fab guy...

I'm trying (possibly in vain) to get a functional speedometer in my Jeep. I have an 88 Comanche with a 99 TJ tranny/t-case. I'm told that it's impossible to get the speedo cable to work with the electronic t-cases, so I got myself a 91 speedometer to wire in. Using my 91 shop manual, I've...
