Comanche SS

You keeping it again? For now, but if you've caught on I'm not very reliable haha. But I do hope to keep it. Poor teenager problems.

But Bo, he has e3 diamond fire spark plugs[/size]! That's 35 HP right there. OP, get it dynoed. You'll be disappointed. I'm planning on doing a group dyno day with a few of my rich friends and there Hennessy raptors, cayennes, and m3's.I'm gonna be the bottom of the barrel but it's a good way to get all my friends and their cars together. I'm just stuck between taking the white one in or the srt8. Maybe I'll just be bold and take the MJ in. Just out of curiosity, has anyone put the ZJ sway bars in and MJ or xj? I heard they fit and work pretty well, any first hand experience?

Yes I am the owner, and yes its all original. It is no longer for sale.

Its on there again for 13999$ now, just an update.

It seems you have found the info you needed. If you are looking for more info I will gladly go into the dealership and ask around if I find anyone. Thanks for the update!

It seems like the build thread on one of my other jeeps would be helpful. I didnt want to stroke it so I beefed it up like your saying with tons of bolt ons. Here is a list: Mustang bosch injectors 24LB knn cold air intake knn intake box engine is tuned for 91 octane but can be tuned to any octane level. e3 diamond fire spark plugs msd ignition system Banks high flow titanium plated steel headers fully custom hand built banks/flowmaster/magnaflow exhaust repositioned front o2 sensor for ease of reach and moved out of harms way banks downpipe optima yellow top battery new water pump and belt tensioner With all this done, I compared it to my comanche which is basically stock accept for new injectors. The cherokee on 31's and having 4:10 gears with atleast a thousand pound increase has better throttle responnse, better MPG and is quite a bit faster. I would estimate about 250HP after all those upgrades and the torque curve is immense. And as most of you know the throttle response and torqiness of these 4.0 is better than any engine out there.

I have read up on your 92 eliminator, that's a rare truck as well. I'm having crisis with it because I want to make mind special, really make it mine. But, I know nobody would buy it afterward and the whole forum would be down my throat about it. But good luck!

Trust me I know I have tons to learn. The first couple jeeps I built were nothing special, no special edition, no special parts just all the bolt on parts I could get my hands on. This comanche I have is my first really in depth project. I know I've got a far way to go, I'm still trying to grasp the whole thing where a car isn't custom till it's something not everyone can have. But trust me I try not to be condescending towards anyone because I know basically everyone on this forum knows better than I do.

Awesome, we'll if you get to researching before I do I'd like to hear what you find. Maybe even start a new forum about it if you find someone or something. Maybe a discussion about reputations of different companies would be helpful for a lot of us.

I haven't looked into hornbrods, but I certainly will now thanks for the info. It'd going to be awhile before I am ready to do that anyway do I haven't heavily done any research on it.

Thats good to hear, I was considering a stroker but I saw some flags. First off I saw a forum I think on NAXJA where there was a small community of guys who had strokers and all they were saying was the strokers werent lasting up to 20k miles. Depending how large of a stroke you are planning might vary that. But, since mine is a daily driver I am not gonna risk an engine blowout every other year. Thats too much for me. Instead I am going to do some research and look into building a high horse engine thats relatively 4L. I know it can be done. All I am planning on keeping is the block if it is in good condition still. But, all new internals and I am looking to get close to the amount of power as those strokers but as you all know there is no replacement for displacement.

Yeah, no problem. I'll be keeping an ear out for SC #50 and #52. With all that you said you are pretty confident that it is a legit Street Comanche and just some varying differences? Thanks for the update!

I wasn't sure about the language either. He said that "Al Unser" was the way it came and I asked what that meant or why it was there and that's when he explained the few trucks build in every state and that the few that were built/sold in California were 50,51, and 52. I'm not saying I believe it's another sort of branch of comanche, he was saying that. I'm not questioning the experts here in anyway, everyone here has atleast one thing to teach me. But it seems nobody else is communicating to this guy so I took charge, also Jeepnut asked me to track this guy down if i could and so I did.

I got ahold of the owner. I can't tell if it's legit or not. He claims he bought it from the dealership with the plaque the way it is. He goes onto tell me that there were a few made in every state and there were approxamitely three in california that were made in 1988 #'s 50-52. Once again, this is where I tell him I own #59. Then he asks what state I got it from and I don't know who knows the history of my truck but it has been in San Diego for a great amouint of time and I am certain it was in CA the entire time. I explain this to him and say that Jeep/AMC never released these trucks outside of 1987 and most likely not in another language. But, I am not 100 percent sure I am correct about that(it just makes the most sense for them all to be english). At this point I didnt know what else to ask other than if he knows of any other "Street" comanches around and he said his dad bought #50 and his brother had #52. But, both of those were apparently repossesed for lack of payments soon after they bought them. To me, these stories are not adding up or making sense so I if anoyone wants to investigate further about these trucks just PM me for the numbers of the owner(s).

Okay I got ahold of the seller, it's the sister in law of the owner and I asked her first off why the dash plaque was not original and she said no it is. Which doesn't make sense because as all of you know they were all made consecutively in California all in English. After she didn't know that I asked why it was listed as an 88 and she said "it's a special edition and only 100 were made in this year". I then revealed I own number 59 and they were only made in 87 she immediately said "Oh I'm sorry I have to go, here's my brother in laws number" I called the brother in law and it was a business number. So I'll try again during normal business hours tomarrow for further information. I briefly asked about the rims like someone had mentioned and she didn't have much to say. So I'll call again tomorrow for an update.

Ehh I really should be and am bieng asked to by my parents but I really don't want to. I don't really know what's going on with it right now, so if someone comes along and has money then who knows.

Full built amc 20 going in pics on link

And remi if your still around you should come down with me.

Hey guys I've called him and texted him multiple times. If he replies then I'm going to take #59 down to him (he's near me) and do direct comparisons I'll take pics as well. Also the owner of the Comanche registry is saying that the person who owns that might know of who owns #'s 50-52 so I'll get more info on that as well. He mentioned these in Buick forums like 6 years back I've been trying to contact him awhile. I'll update soon

Oh I don't need ut for weather. I live in so Cal, but it is going to be purely for handling and as I said it will have a hemi one day

I was looking into it, I agree, the 242 is what I'll get. And the point of the truck is to be a good driving truck. It's a street truck so awd wouldn't hurt the reputation of it. Ricing it? Like a civic? That's not what I'm doing. And the truck will be getting a hemi down the road so I'm not worried about not having enough power. I have a d35 front already. Hot it off of a parts wagoner awhile back. It was custom

Just a idea...AWD comanche for street? AX-15 will bolt onto NP/NV242 and 249 which are both capable to do all time all wheel drive and will send 100% of power to front or rear as needed. Will also be putting dana 35 up front. Since its a street comanche mine as well....?

Oh sorry I just glanced at it.

it might just be me, but that bumoer is not what SC came with?
