Located north of Atlanta in Georgia...guess I need to update my profile.

The interior is red...I kind of wish it was two tone, too. I'm discovering little things that need to be done just a little at a time. Thanks for the link, Minuit, that will be really helpful. Just discovered my driver side door leaks a little so gotta tackle that pretty quick.

I bought this '87 Comanche Pioneer, basically because I wanted one when I first started driving and couldn't get one. It's in good running condition because I had to drive it back about 200 miles on the interstate, through a major city's rush hour and then country roads to get home (calculated I got 20.42 mpg for the trip). Now, I have a lot of work to do, and I'll post my progress, but hoping to also get some feedback and direction/wisdom from the community. I'm not what you would call a natural mechanic, and have to use the Haynes books whenever I work on a vehicle (already ordered the Haynes manual for this one). This is the automatic transmission with 4x4 and the 4.0 Liter in-line 6 cylinder. It came with old, bald tires so I've already put some Goodyear Wranger Radials on it. Following are a few of the things I plan to do: 1. replace the rear bumper/fender 2. install a cross-bed gull wing toolbox (black steel) 3. replace the rubber stripping that runs along the bottom of the windows (don't know what that stuff is called, but it dry-rotted on this vehicle) 4. general tune up (plugs, wires, etc.) 5. potentially replace the bed-liner. I don't even really know the normal steps to start out with, but basically will have to do a little at a time. Any advice or comments are welcome!
