I found my Comanche, it took 18 months of scanning Craigslist but patience will prevail. The under carriage is as clean and white as the day it left the show room floor. All the hardware and bolts are bright and shinny, the leaf springs are not even rusted! I don’t think this truck has ever been on a dirt road. The odometer shows 260k? It is hard to believe the condition of the vehicle with the miles shown, it’s mine now. The kids were selling it for their parents and said it was towed behind a motor home to 22 years?
This truck will stay pretty much original. The 2.5 needs to go, not enough power at this altitude. I think I will look for a 95-96 Cherokee 4.0 and move the drive train over.
