Great to hear! Thanks for the positive feedback

Looks like your Jeep is spring over axle in the rear, like an XJ is. Comanches are supposed to have the spring under the axle.

Yeah I know I could make a newer one work, but I'm used to how the older gauges look lol. Plus this one is out of my grandfather's truck and if I can keep it working I'd prefer to do that.

This has been awesome to watch. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Looks like someone door swapped it. Black door panels and limited XJ seats. Also has the actual vented windows that wouldn’t have been on a 92.

Yes they reused the Cherokee pic for the Comanche specs. But the numbers are correct.

THATS WHAT THE LETTER CODE MEANS?

Are your springs over or under the axle? Stock configuration for the Comanche is under, not like the picture above.

There at least 3 different bump stop heights so that measurement will vary based on which one you have. The factory measured the distance from the top of the axle tube to the bottom of the frame and should be as indicated in the pic below .

Browse to your MJ’s year. https://comancheclub.com/forum/28-comanche-registry-vin-decoding/

maybe stupid question, but where can I find the Registry section?

Here is a pic of the OEM one cut down for the SWB on top of the LWB one, notice the ribs of the LWB are rounded and don’t go to the edge. And from the ‘88 and ‘91 accessory catalogs, respectively.

Welcome, glad you found us. When you get a chance please post its VIN in the Registry section. Sorry, my 4x4 is lifted and the others are 2WD.

Hi, My name is Caspar and I live in Norway, a small country in Scandinavia with only about 6 million people. I am currently rebuilding a Cherokee XJ with an LS engine, and I have also recently acquired a short-bed 4x4 MJ. There are only 14 of them in Norway. I ordered a list from the DMV and called all the owners. The vehicle I bought has been unregistered for five years, so it has to go through a technical inspection before I can register it again. During this inspection, I received a remark stating that the vehicle appears to be equipped with a lift kit. What I am wondering is whether anyone can help me find the stock measurement from the rear leaf spring up to the rubber bump stop on the frame. On my vehicle this distance is 18 cm, which I believe is more than stock.

Aftermarket made both SB and LB versions.

Interesting about them being LWB only. Whoever put the mat in my truck did a pretty slick job cutting it, I never would’ve thought.

What’s sad is you can get reproductions circuits like that for other cars like GMs and even the SJs. But the early XJs you just simply can’t. Which honestly there’s a better upgrade but I respect staying with original year equipment.

I bought one many years ago for about $300. I think it was $300. All I know is when I saw it I did not hesitate to buy it. It’s in good shape and still in good shape.

Only LWB versions were made (with and without the logo) and could be cut for the SWB. They can be rolled up and put into a sonotube for shipping.

Probably pretty darn rare, but not terribly expensive. The bigger expense is probably getting one shipped to you.

The cab is getting reunited with the frame for final body work and then paint.

Yeah, looking at clusters on eBay the newer clusters look like the boards are made differently. Not surprising with the ownership change I guess.

I feel like I probably know the answer but how rare/expensive are these in decent condition? it would be nice to have a spare mat in good condition (without all the wire showing) to switch out when I eventually start taking it to car/jeep shows.
