Thank you all! This is awesome. I couldn't believe it when I started sanding down the bed since it was repainted when I got it. Previous owner got rid of it to build a rock crawler. I only know of 3 other Comanches that are solid in my area since the plow guys drop salt like it's going out of style and most vehicles rot away up here. Wait til you see what I have planned next for my build! also, updated pictures I found on an old phone to my build thread .

Figured since I can't stop driving her, when I should be buttoning up some things. I my as well take some pictures. I do still have to finish the interior, and sound system. I plan to buy a DIY rear bumper kit. Sprayed 10 cans of fluid film underneath the cab,bed, and unibody rails. I still have a lot to do. Very happy so far with my build.

Long overdue update since it's hunting season here in western New York. Warn m8000 installed behind the ARB Bumper. Noticed the ball joints on my $50 Craigslist axle were worn. Upgraded to alloy USA ball joints. While doing that noticed the tie rod and draglink were worn. Track bar is new, but plan to upgrade to adjustable . I installed a new draglink, end, and tie rod with end that is for the 95' grand Cherokee v8 ZJ. Fits great with no issues. Toolbox installed, working on the interior next . I don't have much drive time before the salt drops . Made a new friend locally who is a veteran Comanche Club member. Bought many much needed parts and a 90' sport truck 4.0l HO swapped 4x4 truck off him that is very solid from Florida. Pictures and build of that to follow. Also, my custom plate arrived 👍. and the wimpy old one.

The link to is not found. I am in the process on wiring up my 96' doors, pw and pl using a 4-door Cherokee harness. Plugged it in and nothing. I assume I need relays or a ground? I plugged the factory harness into the the same spot on my 87' fuse panel so accessory. Any help would be greatly appreciated . Thank iad

Nice build. Solid start! Reminds me of mine when I acquired it years ago. It was also listed as an 88'. Title being 87'. Previous owner stared to build it his way, gave up and sold it. Lucky me. It will be worth it when it's done. Drove mine for the first time on the road today. Well worth all the hours and work. Following.

Future plans include but not limited to. -warn m8000 -lights of some sort for front and rear -Dirtbound rear bumper, most likely DIY -finish interior -8.8 ford or dana44 rear -decide to build a dana30 or swap -upgrade the steering or oversteer/highsteer -tint, radio, speakers, remote start/keyless entry -long arm front suspension...much smoother ride -maybe a visor if I can find one - Not driving in the salt ridden roads of Western New York. -who knows, it never ends. Just real happy to finally drive her.

Maiden Voyage! She is road worthy for the first time in long time! Looking forward to the next stages of my build. *drivers side headlight was out. Replaced both so they match for now. Finishing up the interior is next. A lot of things I figured wouldn't work do, including fuel gauge and horn and all gauges except alternator which charges at 14+.

Had a local small company I deal with do it. He has done a few newer ones on Comanches over the years. Many reasons why I deal with the smaller privately owned companies. He also installed the rear free of charge using the 30 year old seal I had for it. I am happy with the result for the two hundred it costs to do it all out the door.
