Baystate Jeepers

Let the JKU go last month and picked up a new (to me) MJ...


A '89 2wd SporTruck auto 4.0 shortbed....super peppy compared to the '86!

Nice! I love those things, I've always wanted one. Maybe someday...

my god you are worse than me! Do you still have the Commando?? What ever happened with your road trip Comanche??

Do you carry a dealers license ? Ya should be required to ! What a collection . When you said Blown 304 , I was thinkin something else ! FjR68

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.

Ahh so it got a black accent on the hood! looks good! What are your plans for the Commando? Are you on the JeepsterCommando forum? Lots of awesome people on there. I am hitting Moab with them next year after EJS.

Commando getting a little love....

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

What color is that ? It looks to be greenish , Teal ? I thought the early Jeep engines were a light silvery/blue something or other. Its purdy. Hope it runs well for you. Got a complete 360 if it dont. Good luck. FjR68

The 360 in my Javelin was that color

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 without making a little effort to clean things up.

COMMANDO update:
Cleaned up the engine bay..


First firing....

Got her home, 114 break-in miles this morning...

Nice, she looks good.

Steve!!! Hey, still have the Bronco. Rebuilding the motor this Spring. She'll have '69 heads and a 4 barrel.

Joe I got a 390 just begging to go in the bronco . Cheap FjR68

Glad to hear Joe, the Bullnose has reminded me of the Bronco quite a bit. Glad she is in good hands!
