The bushing on the oil pump camshaft went bad and destroyed the sensor end while on vacation. Luckily it failed within a couple of miles of a little former Jeep (Chrysler) garage staffed by a jeep mechanic. It was a $290 fix with part and labor, but he stayed an extra hour past shop closing and tracked down a used camshaft. A new part was a complete unit from Chrysler for $300, and would have taken a couple of days to get. Timed everything to TDC and now it runs great again. They lost the jeep dealership in 2006 and the waiting area was filled with real vintage jeep posters. There was a AMC sign on the garage door warning customers not to go into the shop area. The "new" dealership said they could get me into the shop in 5 days.

The comanche is awesome. It pulled me out and kept on wheeling!

I fitted a set of 55w driving lights in the gap where the front fog lights would of beenin the front bumper
then I changed the oil in the diffs as we've had bit of flooding over the past few days and wanted to be sure the oil was ok,dont know why I was worried as it was fine

Changed it to green. I have no clue how to mount there's things. I'm thinking maybe hose clamps around? Or maybe harness it somehow with a U bolt. Mmmmmm

As for as my Jeep activity, moved it out of the parking spot as I finally had the Triumph Spitfire delivered.
