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.

Lift is great. Nice and flexy in the rear. I havent disconnected the front yet. I need bigger, wider tires now.
The comanche is awesome. It pulled me out and kept on wheeling!

"E" stands for EMPTY, does NOT stand for ENOUGH

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