ComancheFan1991 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 What are the differences between a '91-'92 Base and a '91-'92 Pioneer? Me and my parents have an interest in buying a '91 or '92 4.0L Long Bed Bench Seat Automatic Comanche, but dad doesn't like the GM supplied 2 spoke "Station Wagon" steering wheel. Did the base trucks come with the "Station Wagon" steering wheel at that point, or did they come with the three spoke one used on the Pioneers?

Minuit Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Pioneer standard features over Base per my 1991 sales brochure: - Short or long bed (according to my brochure, base shortbed = SporTruck. Not sure if that's true or not) - Graphics - Power steering - 15x7 wheels with black hub caps - Color keyed fender flares - Black windshield and side body moldings - "Hockey stick" armrests - Carpeted cab backing - Carpet - Fabric bench seat, buckets optional - 3-spoke steering wheel, color keyed (the station wagon wheel wasn't even available by '91) Pioneer was a middle ground between Base and Eliminator. You could pretty much option it up however you liked, from essentially a striped Base truck to almost Eliminator level (although those awesome cushy bucket seats were Eliminator only) I should probably scan my sales brochure and post it up here. It's got some great pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 The two spoke wheel wasn't even offered from the factory on the 91 and up base or whatever trim MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnj92131 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Just to confirm: My 91 base truck has the 3 spoke steering was original equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Did you have a specific a MJ in mind? The steering wheel is like a two-minute swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 If the steering wheel isn't to your liking there are literally millions of steering wheels out there that will fit. If you have a harmonic balancer puller or a steering wheel puller it should take no more than 5 minutes. Only thing that could possibly present a problem is getting it on straight.

dunnc1991 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 My 91 base is also rocking a 3 spoke. I wouldn't let something like a steering wheel keep you from buying a certain Comanche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheFan1991 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Did you have a specific a MJ in mind? The steering wheel is like a two-minute swap. I don't have one in mind, I was just wondering. They seem to be hard to find, probably because they didn't make that many, and that they were te best two years.

ComancheFan1991 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 The two spoke wheel wasn't even offered from the factory on the 91 and up base or whatever trim MJ. I wonder if GM needed all the two spokes it could make for it's P-30 "Bread Van" Chassis, as those used the two spoke up to at least 1999. That is why I asked if the base trucks still had the same steering wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheFan1991 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Just to confirm: My 91 base truck has the 3 spoke steering was original equipment. Are the armrests the same as the rear armrest on a Cherokee, or are they different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 The "hockey stick" armrests are on the door cards, so they're the same as the front doors. There was also a centre console available, to go between buckets, pretty well the same as the XJ's as well. Don't think there was ever a centre armrest/console that went with the bench.

I was wonder if the rear door armrests from the Cherokee were the same as the base Comanche door ones, as I think that the rear door armrests on the Cherokee were rectangular.

Eagle Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Older Base models had idiot lights. Pioneers got gauges, but the tach was still optional in the Pioneer. Did the '91 and '92 Base models still have idiot lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minuit Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 :yeah that: Unfortunately the idiot cluster never went away. Not even after 1997. I like the way the gauges look more than the 87/88+ full cluster, but it's just useless. Side note: I don't think I've EVER seen a 91+ 3/4 cluster.

Same Here, as I like the look of the idiot cluster better, as the style fits the look of dash more. Column Shift autos only came with the idiot lights.
