i wouldnt recommend it. i have a 88 jeep wrangler with the 2.5/ 5spd and 33" tires. i regeared to 4:88s and it is gutless. you can't get any lower gears for the d30 and probably shouldnt have wasted the money on the d35 lol

i was trying to buy the truck under the assumption it would be good for parts.the owner says it runs perfect and just needs a battery. he said he will put a good battery in it so i can drive it on the trailer.so a running comanche xls 2wd for 400.00. yea i will be picking it up next weekend

i don't know the vin yet. i havent got the truck yet.as soon as i can get the truck i will verify what trans is in it. this guy has only had this truck @3 years so there is no telling if it was changed before he got it.

talked to the owners son and he says it is a 4spd

i didnt drive the truck but just looked it over. maybe someone put a 4spd shifter knob in it?

i refuse to run a plastic drop in bedliner for that very reason. cost extra money but a rhino lining[ or equivalent ] is worth it

it has the dana 35 axle. i checked.lol. the only reason i was asking about the cluster is the 86 has a full gauge cluster and my 88 has idiot lights. i can find a cluster at the junkyard from a cherokee with a 4.0. the 86 parts truck is a 4spd manual . i am waiting for the guy to call me back after i gave him an offer.he originally bought the truck for his son bought he wanted a nissan and this truck needed too much work so we will see

i knew 86 was a odd year. this one is an xls with the bucket seats and a very nice center console that runs from under the dash all the way to the rear of the cab.i assume the doors are the same?doesnt really have anything on the truck that i have to have but parts are getting tougher to find so i am still going to try and buy the truck

when i converted mine i used my factory 88 radiator because it was new. i spliced a radiator fill neck from a late 90s dakota truck[available at any parts store] into the upper hose and used a 13lb cap from a 88 jeep wrangler. removed all the heater hose mess and used bulk hose to connect the heater core back up. bought a universal overflow bottle and mounted it near where the old coolant bottle was. works perfect and have actually done this on a 90 cherokee also. also a perfect time to back flush the heater core

oh yea the parts truck has air conditioning and mine does not.being the different motors will any of the ac stuff work to add air to mine? would the lines and compressor be the only parts that wouldnt work?

i own a 88 2wd 4.0 5spd. i am looking at buying a 86 2.8 4 spd 2wd for parts. i am trying to find out what parts will interchange. i know the motor and trans will not work. mine is a shortbed and this one is a longbed. the front clip is good and i know that interchanges.will the dash cluster interchange? is all the suspension the same? the tailgate is bad but one taillight is good.any things that are comanche specific that will not interchange? i know 86 was the first year
