Update: Money spent so far. $1400 1988 Jeep Comanche - CL pickup in my metroplex. Not bad, down from $2000. $241.40 to the State of Texas - Title, Registration & 'Classic Truck' plates. $380.85 Kwik Kar Service - Oil Change (PZ High Mileage), Rear Diff Fluid Change (Syn. 75/140), Coolant flush/fill & limited slip supplement Had to get it done there, because I don't have the tools at my house right now. Good thing I did because the rear diff fluid came out black, probably hadn't been changed in years. $17.54 RockAuto.com - Standard Motor Products #DL22 Door Lock Cylinder So that I can actually lock this thing. $21.80 O'Reilly Auto Parts - 552BP/536BP Flasher Relay, 7.5 Amp Fuse, 10 Amp Fuse, 15 Amp Fuse, 20 Amp Fuse & 25 Amp Fuse Having problems with turn signals, brake lights & reverse lights. Figured I should try this first, because it is simple to change and also the cheapest solution if that is the problem. Next up: The hunt for a shift boot or CJ center console, finding a rear mount for my spare, matching buckets or a bench, straightening out my headlights & figuring out how to get my d*** glovebox open (opened once & never again). - Brett

yea I want to do that. I've been to a couple JYs around here and haven't found any good quality CJs. I did find two MJs with some parts on it but the guy was waaaay overpricing it. IE $75 for an old dusty shift boot. No thanks. But thanks man. Thanks man! Yea it was a pretty good steal on CL. Knocked him down from 2000 to 1400, not bad. And yea man I definitely need a JY buddy. I'm up in Denton and there's a few around here but nothing really found yet, or like I said before, super overpriced. Let me know if you're ever this way. And yea I had to go with classic plates, I figured i was gettin in titled, registered & plated anyways I might as well make it unique. Just barely made the 25 year cutoff, plus emissions exempt now! :thumbsup: Ha thanks man. Yea I still own my DC5 Acura but can't get it inspected, so now this is my around town DD. Yea I think so. Yea as soon as I get a chance I'm gunna rip it out and check for damage. Then I might just rhino line the whole thing and call it a day, since this is just a DD. I don't know yet tho, depends on the noise level in the cab.

yessir, mesquite to be exact. now residing in Denton.

Hey Guys, So I just got my self a new (to me) Comanche and it seems as though I have a lot of work to do on it. It's my very first Jeep, but not my very first project car. I am however lost on the how-to's on fixing her up, building and maintaining a Jeep since my previous cars were Acuras and Hondas. Any help or advice on where to look would be much appreciated. I have been scouring the forums and have seen some cool write-ups an project trucks. Anyways lets get down to it. Details: 1988 Comanche (Don't know which trim level) 4.0L Inline 6 5-spd Manual SWB Images: Front View Driver's Side Passenger's Side Rear View Engine Bay Nice Job of "repairing" a vacuum hose :hmm: Left Interior View Right Interior View Shifter with no shift boot 88 Cluster with no tachometer Dash with missing ash tray Driver door with no locks Left headlight not pointing straight Only one wiper (And yes that does say 'Classic Truck' on the plate :thumbsup: ) So that's what I got in a nutshell. Definitely some stuff to work on, but I guess it could be alot worse right? Let me know what ya'll think! - Brett
