1986 Jeep Comanche Custom (base) 4x2 Pickup Olympic White
Manufactured: September 1985 Toledo Parkway Plant, Toledo, Ohio
AMC 2.5 TBI Fuel Injection OHV 4 Cylinder gas engine
Aisin (Toyota) AX-4 - 4 Speed Manual Transmission
Original Blue Interior, Celtic Vinyl bench seat and black rubber flooring and AM Radio with 2 front speakers. No additional options.
First sold to a Painter (1st owner) for business use in Los Angeles, California.
I’m a 2nd owner and bought it as my first car for college. It had a faulty engine, transmission slipped many times, too much play in manual steering gear, brakes halfway working and worn interior. The previous owner drove it to the ground.
I decided to rebuild the engine and swapped the 4 speed manual with the rebuilt AX-5 5 speed manual. I added power steering and replaced the heater core. I also changed the interior from blue to black and added options such as the adjustable bent windows, remote mirrors, tilt steering column with a 3 spoke steering wheel and intermittent wiper switch, passenger vanity mirror, AM/FM Cassette with DNR sound system and 4 speakers, analog gauges without tachometer and optional Jeep cast aluminum rims.
Fun fact: I’ve driven the Comanche around Los Angeles, Ventura County, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Oakland, Alameda, Guerneville, Santa Cruz, Sacramento, Palm Springs and Macon, Georgia. Pickup currently resides in Los Angeles, CA, under my registration.
