Thanks Dan, that is the issue for me, too many projects. This one was a daily up until 18 mo ago. Pulled 2 rigs off road to save some insurance money. My youngest was starting college.

Hi all, Came to realization that I do have too many Jeeps (8) and not enough time to give them all the attention they deserve. 1989 Jeep Comanche. Short bed “SPORTRUCK” 117,656mi 4X4 automatic(column shift), Lear cap Dana 30 front 35 rear Newer 18 gallon fuel tank, alternator, oil pan Converted to o...

Frank, my deepest sympathies.

Thx Dan, I did drop down to non-voting last year.

Thanks Franky. Lots of life "events" kept me off trails but hope to get out sooner than later, maybe with another NEA club or open run. Enjoyed wheeling with you all. Taught me a bunch.
-Steve

PS: those of you that remember Tyler, he's driving now. Scored him a 98 XJ..

After 14 years with the club, last 6 of which have been MIA, it is time to bow out, to allow room for hopefully a more active member. I will get back to the trails as my Jeep addiction continues (current count 8)and look forward to seeing you out there hopefully sooner than later. -Steve Bonin

I tried to color match...part of the flex plate still had some factory over-spray..Allied mixed it too green, so we did some tweaking in the shop(added some silver) to get it a little closer. Now I'm freshening up the engine bay 'cause it just seems wrong to put a clean motor in a nasty engine bay w...

Commando getting a little love....

The rebuilt 304 coming back together, hopefully I'll be ready to fire her up in a few weeks.

Ive heard of the Torqueflight904 having a three speed 'indicator' on the column as opposed to the instrument cluster, I've only seen one of those in person (also somewhat rare). http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z227/titaniumsteve/86MJ/KIMG0071_zps5vphalz1.jpg As for a true manual on the column...t...

Jeff: The road trip Comanche (http://jeepincrossamerica.blogspot.com/ ... start.html) is dressed in the '98 front end, the Commando should get some work this winter,
Frank: ..The 304 is going back in the Commando...machine shop should be done with their work by the end of month.

Let the JKU go last month and picked up a new (to me) MJ... http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z227/titaniumsteve/86MJ/KIMG0062_zpskjgohkqy.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z227/titaniumsteve/86MJ/KIMG0005_zpsvqvp6ail.jpg A '89 2wd SporTruck auto 4.0 shortbed....super peppy compared to the '86!

Busy couple weeks at work, but I've managed to get a little work done on the Jeep.... I blasted my last pair of wheels and my racks... http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z227/titaniumsteve/86MJ/NCM_0269_zpsvh3uxhrw.jpg Welded up the top of each rack post... http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z227/ti...
