Yup, exactly what I installed on my truck. In black!!!

My 91 has 153,000 original miles on the 4.0 motor.

Ok, I'm a senior citizen and love jeeps. I have three. One is a daily driver. The Comanche is another story. I'm a hot rodder so my truck is tricked for car shows. But add to rarity, there are 10 million Chevy c10 on the show circuit. All lifted, all have a painted frame and to add insult to injury every jeep show I go to, the new jeeps are the popular choice. Folks just walk past the Comanche to look at a new jeep 6 feet in the Air with $20 thousand in bolt on accessories. On the good side, when someone does stop to talk to me about a Comanche it's a very positive conversation with a lot of. I wanted one, I loved the one a had. Wish I had another one. The best part, only once in six yrs of car shows I've only come across one restored Comanche. Those who do stop to look always comment about how great a Comanche is/was

I found out the hard way that the XJ flare kit ( raw plastic) worked on my truck. Of course the rear flares do not work. I did not do my homework on the flare kit to realize the difference even though the advertisement was for a Comanche.

I bought the headlight doors/grille kit. The quality is OK. The parts fit ok, but there is enough space between the three parts that minor adjustments can be completed. The design of the parts kind of hides the imperfections. I had to modify the square hole for the plastic clip on the sides ( side lamp location). I moved the screw clip a few millimeters to one side. As long as you only modify one side of the four sides of the hole for the clip, there has not been a problem. The Comanche got a little bling-bling this summer at a car show. But, this is as close to the grille & headlights photo I have.

Another possibility is the seals for the heater box/duct work. Everything from the cowl vent down can dry rot and cause a leak.

Pretty much stock Comanche. 160 thousand on drive-train and suspension. mods: custom painted graphics ( Scallops) 2003-06 Wrangler wheels Instrument cluster (dummy lights) replaced with Jeep gauges Bench seat removed and replaced with bucket seats & console. The Honda CT-70 stays in the bed of the truck at car shows. ( It's my off-road vehicle!!!!) Nope, this truck has "never" seen off-road adventures.

Primer: The high end PPG stuff Bodyfiller: Evercoat Paint: PPG's Shop Line Clear: PPG's Shop Line How my truck was painted: The truck was edged first. All the jambs, fender, hood, tailgate, inside bed edges, wheel well edges, fender well edges and grille edges were painted first. The truck was assembled and painted as a single unit. Now to correct for overspray, the truck had a third coat of clear added during the paint process with the specific intentions to water sand and buff the entire truck. This allowed me to water sand between the cab & bed, and all those transition areas between the edges & exterior of the vehicle.

The resister wire, made into the harness was the problem on my MJ. I had the exact same issues. I replaced the dizzy, and just about everything else on the ignition system before I found the problem. I had to cut out the resister wire (about 3 feet long) and replace with standard wire. I added a in-line resister fuse ( from local auto parts store- its about 6 inches long). I have not had an issue since. You can tell the resister wire when you unwrap the harness running next to the block. It's a softer rubber type of wire sheathing as compared to normal more rigid sheathing normally found on most wire harness components on the vehicle

I used XJ seats in my MJ. They work great, they just don't fold forward. I just get behind the seats from the other side of the truck. It's a minor pain, but not that bad to gain access behind the seat(s). But how often do I really need to get behind the seats?

The resister wire on my 91 went bad and caused all kinds of havoc. The truck would intermittently fail to start when hot. Replaced almost everything in the ignition system before I caught the fact that the resister wire running along the side of the engine block was the problem. I added a $5 part from Auto Zone and 3 feet of standard wire to replace the resister wire on the truck. No problems since.

Nice ride!!!!!!! Look forward to your updates on the rebuilding.

I was equally surprised to win best truck, jeep/4wheel vehicle at a Mopar show. I thought for sure the Dodge Viper truck was going to win first place ( nice truck)

Got Yah! I was looking for ComancheKid 25. Yeeks!!! Finally found you!!

I had a similar problem.The issue was different bulbs made by different manufacturers. When I replaced all the turn signal bulbs made from the same company, the problem was resolved. I had some sylvania and some Chinese made bulbs. So replacement with the same company made bulbs made all the difference !
