88BlueMJ

Thank y’all for your help!

My 8th digit is P... 1JTMW64P2JT153391 When I do the VIN decode its unclear which trim package it is... Unless I am not using the correct decoder.

How do I know if I have a Base or Pioneer MJ? And does it matter when looking at parts?

A few months ago I acquired this 88 Jeep Comanche from my father-in-law. Being a Jeep guy, I have always admired this unique deviation of Jeep's historical line of production. This truck had been sitting in his garage for over a decade collecting dust. I wasted no time making offers to buy it, the truck had sentimental value to him, so he was not in the market to sell. It became a joke between us every time we would get together… I would offer to buy it and he would say: “over my dead body”. Well, my friends, he kept his promise…earlier this year he passed suddenly of cancer and in his will he left me and my wife the Jeep Comanche that I had desired so greatly. This is my 3rd Jeep but 1st Comanche and I'm super excited to get started building it!

1988 Jeep Comanche Pioneer Engine: AMC 4.0L, I-6, MPI Powertrain: 5-speed manual, floor gear shift, 2 W/D Body Type: Jeep Comanche Pioneer, 2-W/D Pickup, 6.0 foot bed, 113 inch wheel base Gross Vehicle Weight: 4001 - 5000 lbs / J-20 Truck = 5001 - 6000 lbs Model Year: 1988 Location: Between GA and SC Status: Not currently running but hopefully soon. Notes: I acquired the Jeep from my father-in-law who recently passed away. I have always admired it and hounded him about selling it to me but he never would. It was willed to me with the condition that I keep it in the family and enjoy it. This is my 3rd Jeep and 1st Comanche and I'm super excited to get building it!
