I have about a qtr mile paved driveway with a big hill in middle. 10 or so years ago I found a 90 MJ metric ton with a 7.5 fisher plow. truck was very rusty when I got it, but got about 7 seasons out of it before removing the plow and putting it on a 98 Cherokee that was not rusty but had been rolled (lightly) and has just shy of 300k but the 4.0 runs like a champ. Tire chains make this rig unstoppable. Sold the metric truck to a jeep guy that parts them out for almost what I paid for it. Love these trucks, but the Cherokee will last decades of limited yard use and the Comanche was in danger of breaking in half or tearing itself to pieces. never understand why the inner bed seemed to be galvanized but the floors, frame and bedsides were not?? I guess if they were they would last forever and they couldn't sell us new trucks

I hope this is the right spot to mention that I just put a pair of burgundy buckets on ebay, removed from a 90 pioneer MJ, complete with (slightly rusty) brackets. Also center console although I think those interchange with XJ so not nearly as rare. Located in Maine, but can be shipped anywhere in US, but it's kinda pricey. I had high hopes for this Comanche when I bought it, but like so many around here the frame was shot beyond repair. HERE
