August already? This Summer (or Winter for those of you in the other hemisphere) is flying by in a hurry.

I hope you are having loads of fun driving, building, repairing, dreaming about, buying or off roading your Jeep.

My 1987 Jeep Comanche MJ Pickup has been in the shop for the past 2 weeks getting a completely new clutch system from the master cylinder..to the slave cylinder..to the pressure plate, release bearing and disk assembly.

It took only 2 days to get the entire job done...with the exception of a $5.00 spacer bushing in the clutch pedal. I have been waiting for that little part to arrive from the manufacturer for over a week and a half..and still waiting.

There are two possible reasons for this delay:

  • 1) Chrysler is in bankruptcy and what little efficiency they once had is completely gone now, and
  • 2) Old (uncommon) parts are more difficult to find as well.
Anyway, the old Comanche should be in great shape again once it's all done.
