Let me know if you can't see it.

Also have some other parts, odds and ends in the garage. Have a steering column just like the one in the pics, but complete with a good airbag, wiring harness, and key.

Wouldn't happen to have a 3 spoke steering wheel would you?

I do at my mother-in-law's place, but I don't know what kind of condition it's in. It sat out in the sun and rain for a long time on a home-built playset for the kids. I'll check though. If anything, there's a ton of 'em at junkyards around here. If you can't find one, I can pull one for you for the cost of the part from the yard and shipping.

Nope and nope. That's an AC condensor and the pipe has the crush in it, unfortunately.

Now what are you talking about in regards to tank? You talking about the catalytic converter next to the steering wheel? I could see how that would look like a tank.

I've been looking for one for my Comanche casually for a while. Most at the yards have the Center jeep part missing for some reason.

The horn button? Yeah the one that I have is missing the button too... 'cause it's on the steering wheel that's on my Jeep lol.

I'll see what I can dig up next time I'm at the yard. Any particular color?

Bought this for my wife...





Removed the Jeep from daily driver status, now I'm driving around the 300M... until such time as I can scratch up a little more dough, sell the car and buy a small pickup.

Haha... well, I'm enjoying it tonight! As I walked out the door for work, I snatched the keys and said, "I'M TAKING BIG RED!" and shut the door before she could answer

Well, as usual, pics make it look better than it is. Mechanically, it's excellent. The transmission was rebuilt 3 years ago and it shifts every bit as good as a new one. The fluid is red and has no odd smells. The motor cranks right up on the first turn of the key.... in fact, I think it starts up quicker than the car and the Jeep.

BUT, the truck needs a paint job. Clear coat is mostly gone and the paint has been "buffed through" in some spots. But the body is probably about a 9/10. Just has a dent in the bumper, a small ding in the passenger side front door, and a couple small dents in the passenger side front fender. Very good candidate for a "restore." The interior is probably a 7/10. Needs new headliner cloth, the driver's seat has a tear in it but it's not terrible, and the dash has a crack in it and needs a new bezel.... other than that, just needs cleaning and shampooed carpets as well as some new switches.

Overall, it's in great shape though. The PO replaced the water pump, battery, and shocks shortly before putting it up for sale. So it rides solid. It really almost drives like it was brand new. The motor has plenty of grunt... and the mileage - 203k

But it has the towing package from the factory (verified through VIN matched RPO codes sticker in the glove box), HD trans cooler, hitch, 7 pin trailer connector, 3.73 rear end with posi and electronic traction control, and tow hooks and skid plate (I mention them because it's 2wd).

We picked it up for 2900 and I'm pretty pleased.

That's a solid deal but too bad it is 2wd lol. Still a nice rig and will suit your needs.
