every time I try to add the marker it goes to do it and doesn't show up on the map. guess it could just be me.

There are two Comanche's in Packwood. Both belong to 2 Volunteer Fire Fighters. Myself, who owns a 86 Comanche 4wd & Dean who drives a 91 2wd. Tired to mark the map but wasn't successful. We both are located in Packwood, WA.

eaglescout, sorry but this old girl has a bench seat with fabric. But thanks for the information.

Packwood, Washington I happen to be a Volunteer Fire Fighter hence the name choosing. To be exact Rylee, your maybe 1 hr & 45 mins away from me atm if I head down Hwy 7 twords Elbe.

Year: 1986 Make: AMC [Jeep] Model: Comanche [MJ] Trim: Custom [Base] Engine: 2.8l v6 [GM LR2] Miles: 183,799 [Current] Transmission: Ax-5 [Asian Warner] Transfer Case: Np207 Front Axle: Dana 30 4.10 ratio Rear Axle: AMC Model 20 4.10 ratio Wheel Base: 119.9 Build Date: Unknown Sticker is there but nothing legible, Current Location: Packwood, Wash. Status: Road Worthy Project Notes: NOT FOR SALE!, Has a Dealership Winch added to stock bumper also has the lead with it. Both still work. Had the stock Fog Lights but removed because they did not work. Also has a Edlebrock Fuel pump bolted to the underside of the bed. I didn't add it. Needs to have Varajet Carb adjusted along with clutch replaced or adjusted to be derivable, also may want to replace windshield to be safe. As the new monkey wrench has been thrown, I have decided to replace the 2.8l/Ax5 with a better suited engine and transmission 4.0l H.O/Ax-15. Also paint option will be changed to Dark Honey Metalic as I swap parts from a 1995 Jeep Cherokee Sport which has the tan interior/ bucket seats, center console, and many other parts.

Where to Start. I have been chasing The Jeep Comanche 4x4 down since I have owned 5 Jeep Cherokee's from 88 to 95 because I have always wanted one. It has taken 10 years to get my hands on this Comanche and I ain't letting go.

He did all the proper restore stuff to this old girl. But drove her into the ground. About six months later I received a call stating that he wanted to trade of he would take $800.00 for this busted down jeep in his yard. I didn't think anything of it. Until he called and asked me to come over... So I did. Next thing I know is We're talking about mods to happen in the future for his 86-MJ if I buy it from him. He tell's me what he wants for it so I gave him $400 up front and told him that I have a amp/subs sitting in my jacked up XJ that I will trade him for this old truck. It wasn't until today 8/25/2020 when I get a call saying that he wanted it off the property and I could pay an extra $40 to have him tow strap it down the highway to my house. I am a Jeep guy, my instant answer was simple. "No"." I will be there with the parts needed and I will drive it home". Well, guys I did just that. I drove this MJ 120 miles to my house in another small town with a limp clutch. And parked it in the driveway. I have yet to get it into my name and would like to register it here so, I was asked to do this off the facebook page. I love this rig. But the engine and transmission has to go. 2.8l v6 with a Ax-5. I am not a fan. Some help and tricks would be nice most of my other rigs run a 242 L6 Chrysler and Ax-15's I have read a lot and I would like to give this old girl a run for my money. This rig has some problems like the clutch is very touche so to speak. Not sure if there is air in the hydro clutch but I have to put x amount of weight on the clutch and put it to the floor. I have to push/pull the stick to get the truck into 1st, 2nd, 3rd but 4th is pretty easy. I can't get her into 5th gear. Reverse works. She has an issue with dying if I remove my foot from the accelerator. But that can be adjusted on the carburetor. Interior is almost all original it's a maroon red with black dash bezel. The shiftier boot housing is grey so it's not original. I am currently waiting for the Historical records to come from Oregon. It does have a dealership hidden winch in the front bumper. Yes, it does work. I was surprised as much as you guys. This isn't a hard project to replace parts and put it back on the street/trail. Most of the hard stuff is done. Besides this isn't work to guys like us. We do this because it's our passion. I always told my brother that I would own a Comanche. Too bad that he passed away in May of this year. He would of been excited to ride in this rig. It was a dream to drive this down the hwy in my town. I have yet to give this thing a name and will be doing so after I drive her around. I will try to keep an update on what happens.
