I'm gonna have to rewire the radio anyways, but I'll check what month it was made. Where is that build date located? Its not on the inside of the driver side door for some reason

Question about wiring harnesses: I'm gonna swap the whole dash and everything from this 87 Chief into my 89 Base. I believe the 89 computer is a little better than the 87 computer, but could I just take 100% of the wiring from the 87, put it into mine, but keep my computer?

Just some basic stuff that came with mine, the back of the warranty booklet is actually partially filled out with the first owners information, I only included it because there's no address, but there is an Allstate insurance card that has his address on it that I left out

Yea I may eventually look harder to find evidence of decals, but the hood is rust free and straight as can be, the paint is a little dull tho, although its uniformly dull...

Yea I was just skimming through it, gonna post it if I don't see one already up there. But what is the Genuine Jeep Comanche Outfitters stuff! Reminds me of the ford freewheeling program thing. I never even heard of it til I saw those posted by @fiatslug87

Ah then mine could be authentic chrome, also "through the brochures" I wish I had a collection of those. I do have a 1989 mopar accessories booklet that came with the owners manual. Unless your pretty much positive it's somewhere on the forum already I can post pics for anyone interested.

Well either way, if someone is reading this a few years from now, I have no plans of using the trim but will definitely hold onto it, so message me if your interested in buying

Ok cool, and I didn't know laredo was only long beds. I wonder if the trim on mine is from a Pioneer, and has been painted chrome in the middle, it did almost seem like the chrome was bubbling in some places

While you are here, what can you tell me about the other bigger style of trim, I think I've only seen them on Laredos. https://www.streetsideclassics.com/vehicles/0809-nsh/1988-jeep-comanche-laredo

Oh ok, I mean there is considerable bondo work on the lower portions where the rubber is, well at least where there is still metal left. I wonder if the rubber was his way of taking attention away from it, obviously if he did that much effort it would have been long before the amount of rust it has now. Well either way, a full set of Laredo/XLS chrome belts is still nice to have, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say its from a Laredo since the XLS was only on a long bed haha.

Hm, I wonder if the previous owner took the stickers off and added the belts. Also are you saying the belts specifically with chrome are from a Laredo or XLS? Because I swear I've seen pics of pioneers with the chrome ones.

Well it might be the same belt rubber you showed on that pioneer, but this one has chrome in the middle like the XLS.

No its slightly different than that, I just found a pic of an 86 XLS that has what looks identical to it, but obv that would only be for a long bed and mine is a short bed 87 Chief trim

So can anyone else find previous sales of the little rubber trim pieces that go on the bottom of some of the Comanche Chiefs? They also are on XJ limited trims(assuming the trim is identical), maybe more I'm not sure. But I couldn't find any on ebay, I can't even find any pics on google images of another Comanche Chief with this trim, all I see is the black decal version.

Regardless, I would use the list a lot, theres a lot of junkyards in the Atlanta area or around it. I only know of a few like smaller private owned yards that have lots of olds, I know one in Griffin that has 3 j10s, one with a basically complete interior. But the ones I go to the most are the bigger names like pull a part, gray n white, and lkq.

Haha nice, I wish I would have known about their rarity more, because I swear I've seen some in junkyards before

Yea I know, same as how 21 slot grilles aren't worth $500. I was just surprised to see so many of them all listed around 60-80

I see the cab vent covers going for crazy prices, glad I got a set of those

Is there a way to see sold items?

gotcha

Gotcha, might have to run to the local junkyard soon. Also, the rubber trim going around the Chief, I have every piece but the front fender on the driver side, which luckily should be the same as an XJ. If I see a limited XJ I'll grab the piece to have a complete set for an MJ. I don't really see myself ever installing them to mine, but what would be an expected value of a complete set for an MJ?

Oh ok, so are they all pretty much equal in terms of quality or sought afterness? Or is there 1 that everyone wants?

Ok. And from looking at that post, I'm guessing the ROL were known to rust out or something?

Oh wow ok. Well now that I see that, how do I tell if some I see in a junkyard are factory fog lights?

Ok, from the looks of the rest of the truck I doubt this one will be rust free
