Finally, after covid is over and I've settled into my home with my own shop, the progress is continuing!!! I'm so excited to be working on it again. Over the last week and into tonight, I got the engine bay, inner fenders, and fire wall primed and ready for paint. I strung the Comanche up by a chain block so I can get it at working height and i got to work. If you have any suggestions for paint in the engine bay and on the frame let me know because that's my next step.

I found this code under the cowl in the front, can anyone decode or tell me when I can find info on this? Thanks guys

It's nice to meet such awesome MJ owners and also meet a fellow eagle scout! Keep the jeep going brother!

Yeah, mine isn't on the road yet, but I see one in my area on rare occasions (maybe once a year). But other then that I never see any.

I'm actually just outside of Winona MN. I found this MJ out of Ladysmith WI

Title says 1991 but parts say 1988 1991 Jeep Comanche 4x4 Long Box 4.0L BA10/5 np231 dana30/35 bought out of Wisconson, unsure the history before. Under the impression it was gonna be made into a street truck by some teenager, was sold due to "unexpected pregnacy". Then the next owner was gonna chop it up for non-rusted body panels and noticed how nice the frame was and couldn't do it. Bought it for him half torn apart, ready to be rescued.

Project #1: Tear down: I started on the interior and the engine bay because 90% of the rust is in the floor boards and the engine bay was already torn down. The floors were a bit worse then I was expecting but are mostly solid so a few patches and some rust inhibitor paint and I will be all set.

This is my "1988" Jeep Comanche MJ. This Comanche must have have and interesting past, because the VIN and the vehicle do not line up. The Jeep was posted to facebook with the title "1988 Jeep Comanche Longbox." It was an almost rust free WI jeep. I got it home with the title and did a little homework, then to find out, the title said 1991. No big deal right? Then I remember what I was reading. If I'm correct, they stopped using the BA10/5 and renix engine harness in 1989, but my jeep has both of those. I bought it the beginning of the year. It was complete but didn't run. The previous owner claimed he was gonna cut it up for patch panels on his other comanches, but he saw how nice the frame was and couldn't do it. Although it supposedly spent it's entire lift in Wisconsin, the frame was 99% clear of rust, although I found out the floor pans are not as nice but not bad for 30 years in WI.
