Nice to see you on Insta and CC, I love your build, hows that JK D44? you would know me as jeeper.Creeper on IG -
Seats look like stock MJ/XJ buckets from that era. Nothing special, they do look nice - at least the seat backs look nice. Winner winner, stock XJ seats but re upholstered some years back. It is in fact running and driving, I cannot comment on the lift questions as I have no way of proving or disproving that, it came with the lift... To register it in CA you simply move to GA. All kidding aside, I just moved here and had an engine swapped vehicle in my future, lucked out when my GF found this MJ.

So I got rid of the street comanche a few months back as you all are aware of. I sold my immaculate XJ as well the other day, for this. Its a 1990 Comanche pioneer, it has the metric tonne package. Its got a locked D44 rear and d30 front with chromolys and geared to 4:10. It is dark blue, it's got custom metalcloak TJ long arms up front with there 6" coils. SOA in rear and all around a 5-6 inch lift. Now the major stuff: Built LM7 5.3 from a 2005 silverado with just under or around 400HP. A built 700R4 and a new/rebuilt NP241 T-Case. All the swap was done using Novak adapt parts and painless harnesses. It still needs some work, its not 100% done or perfect. But here we go on round 2 of an MJ for me.

The sleeper Jeeper STREET COMANCHE #59
Comanche SS replied to Comanche SS's topic in the Street Comanches
I havent been on here in months, and I am ashamed to say that the Comanche is bieng towed away, one last time. My parents were fed up with me having more than one jeep and took it upon themselves to sell it. I did however manage to grab the entire body kit AND plaque before they sold it. They sold it to someone who has no intrests in jeeps or Archer or Street comanches. I Grabbed what was important and am not too upset. The MJ didnt have anything left on it that was Important to the SC, the suspension, grill, and driveline were all changed. All thats left for SC on that truck was the VIN information. So, I have an extra complete Archer Body Kit with the #59 plaque. I know your all gonna be upset that I sold it, but I tried my best to salvage what I could and use what power I did have to save what I could. I'm not pushing super hard to sell the kit, but I also have no use for it. So if anyone wants it PM me. It is complete and painted. It is in good condition as long as you keep in mind it is 30 years old. The truck didnt have original axle, suspension, transmission, bumpers, rims, or anything left of a SC. I will be on this forum until the body kit sells, (strictly to a member here) then I will be signing off until I get a regular MJ one day to build the pre-runner our of it that I always wanted to. Thanks guys. The MJ had a good run, but with a blown head gasket, not working Ac system, in need of a transmission rebuild, and a new bed, cab corner and paint. I hope the best for it. It is a decommissioned street comanche, and now just a Comanche. If someone is intrested in the body kit send them my way. I will be in touch with jeepnut for official registry updates. -
From what I've researched they were dealer specific to a dealer that is no longer in business that was somewhere between Los Angeles and the border. No specific evidence I have seen where it was actually at. They were developed only in '87, or so we thought. Somewhere someone saw one listed as an '88 but no VIN info to run it, so could have been a miscommunication. There were 100 made total and documented. Less than half are accounted for currently on the SC registry. And for the question about the SC package, it was a body kit, and suspension. Finding an all original, all matching perfect condition one is next to impossible to find. Other than 24 and I believe 52 that are on the registry. Even mine is incomplete. It was swapped with an AX-15, and normal MJ suspension, Body kit is dissassembled. Head gasket is obliterated, gonna need an extensive rebuild or new entire engine. Doesnt have a D35 anymore, has normal MJ and XJ bumpers, Has Sahara rubicon rims. Mine won't ever be as glorious as an all original one, but the cool part about mine is that is accurately documented since '87. Any other questions pm me.

I didn't get the chance to see it, but myself and the owner of the SC website both spoke to him. It is believed to be real, it all lines up. The badge is the only odd thing, and it has not been describable yet. I have the all the contact info and pictures of that truck if anyone is intrested to investigate for themselves.

The sleeper Jeeper STREET COMANCHE #59
Comanche SS replied to Comanche SS's topic in the Street Comanches
No hate from me. Since you couldn't flip it quickly, you now have a new plan and when that doesn't work the plan will probably change again. Seriously, I can't take anything you say seriously. But good luck anyhow. :cheers: I know I have been giving off the vibe, thats why I am ending it with "stick around". Also, this isnt a new plan. Its the same plan as was before, and as with any project its never going to be "finished". and besides, whats wrong with having plans and amitions? -

Comanche SS replied to Comanche SS's topic in the Street Comanches
Havent been one in a couple weeks, the Comanche has gotten tons of work done. Started with the brakes, all new calipers, drums, MC/BB, e-brake, pads, rotors, shoes, hardware. Then exhaust: headers, downpipe, plumbed, small rocket style muffler, goes out the side infront of rear tire. Currently its getting cooling: water pump, radiator, hoses, heater core, thermostat, t-stat housing. Next week is A/C: condencer, compressor, r134A covnersion, all pipes hoses. And slowly but surely accumulating new doors, fender flares, trim, bedside, cab corner. I am getting it painted, not giving any details on that because I know ill just get more and more hate for whatever I choose even if its stock red. So stick around.... -
also, if your going to do a engine/trans swap consider an OBDII swap or maybe if you have funding a whole v8 swap. I am saving to put a hemi in mine one day. Thanks for the idea my project will most likely be slow going because all of the funding is coming from myself because my parents are evil haha Well best of luck to ya! Post some Pics!!!

I also wondered this, but I found mine on the street comanche registry site. But furthermore I would like to know if there is a site.
-
Yes that is true, it is his first after all. The only reason I mention that was becuase if it was me and I was gonna go through an engine swap and I did an I6 then wanted to do a v8 it would cost more in the end. keeping economics in mind. An I6 is always a solid solution.

Ive been keeping an eye on the spectre air intake that takes air from behind the firewall near the washer motors. -
Great looking truck! I have a similair setup as you. I have the 18" wrangler rubicon wheels powdercoated with some nice 255/55/R18 sitting pretty. I would like to have mine as clean as yours, and its nice to see another red comanche with the 5 spoke wrangler rims!

Yeah, here in San Diego there is JBA as well as some other small shops with dynos.i know a drag racing team that is managed by one of the employees at JBA so I get to go their for discounts sometimes. Also groups get discounts so that's the idea. -
Hey Mark, just seeing how's it going up there? Are you gonna get another MJ?
