From what Ive Learned at Tech School: To check tie rod ends for looseness, jack up front end, grab wheel at each side (9 and 3) on a clock and try to shake, if there is looseness, it could be your tie rod ends. To check steering shaft looseness, ( the one that goes from steering wheel to steering box) grab it and gently move it around, if there is alot of play, it may be steering shaft u joints. I would first start with the tire shake though. Any play in the steering system will be multiplied greatly bby the time it reaches the tires. another good thing ive found was to have someone turn the wheel and look at where the steering shaft meets the steering box, if the gear on the steering gearbox moves a little and the tires don't move at all, it might be your gearbox. Sorry I started to ramble on Hope this helps

Hello everybody, time has come to sell my truck but I'm having a problem putting a dollar amount on it. Help is much appreciated What would you sell it for? What would you buy it for? Specs: 1989 Jeep Comanche 115k miles Short Bed Brand new flat/matte paint job sprayed legit, not aerosol 100% rust free including floorboards with the factory shine still on the paint. 4.5 inch rustys SUA lift Daily driven, runs and drives great but Engine was not maintained well by P.O so it leaks but I'm including a perfect running 4.0 with 120k in with the sale. Pioneer head unit small dent in each door chipped off piece of the header panel bed lined bumpers 5 speed manual with decent clutch No rear window trim 235 75 R15s with decent tread older black steel wheels Thanks to anyone who has any input! :waving: Pictures are before installing stock fender flares, Thanks!

Hey quick question, With SOA on a cherokee Dana 44 rear will a cherokee 6.5 inch lift leaf spring provide 6.5 inches of lift on a comanche? Just trying to design my future lift, Thanks!

Not exactly a Comanche but pretty unique.

Got the header panel on and took a couple pictures after Pickens Tech School. I like how I park in the only dirt parking spot everyday in the huge parking lot. Thanks! -Tyson

That Waggy Header Panel is still at UPAP. Crazy kid tried to charge me 110 for the panel because it had 4 headlights and a wiring harness -_-. But i painted up my old one and threw it on. Ps. Your Comanche Is Amazing, what lift do you have? -Tyson

Update So I decided to paint my comanche last week for less than 50 dollars and it turned out pretty cool. I used Rustoleum Professional Flat Black In a gallon and I sprayed it with a 10$ harbor freight spray gun. I also coated both bumpers with bedliner and ill take some pictures of them tomorrow Just need new rims and tint and it will be 100% black. Thanks -Tyson

Drove along Shelf Road Yesterday Tyson

Do you know if your rear bumper is factory? I have one that is identical but mine is chrome and the P.O had no idea.

You have my dream comanche.

Went for a drive along the Platte River today with the Mj and the dog. Tyson

Hello Everybody! Id like to introduce my Comanche. Shes got 4.0 5 Speed( I think its the poopy one) d30 d35 4.5" with 30 inch tires (donuts) Buckets with center console from a later cherokee Removeable Doors Future Plans 4.10s 32s Camo Paint Thanks! Tyson

Ive Emailed him several times and no reply, and he reposted it on craigslist recently, Hes taunting me :fs1:

Hey guys just wondering if you think this deal is good enough for me to buy. I have no need for another comanche but I have an extra garage space and 700 in the bank. http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/2551570421.html Thanks all!

Found a bed on craigslist and just wondering what I should pay? How much would you pay for a short bed? How much would you pay for factory d44? Thanks Guys! Tyson

Thanks for the replys! Do you guys know a ballpark estimate of the fuel economy with 31s and 4.10s or 3.73s on highway? Thanks!

Hey Everybody So I Have an 89 4wd 4.0 5 speed with an insane case of death wobble. Ive been lurking around a couple of forums and saw some of the causes were bad trac bar bushings Lca bushings, tire alignment, shocks etc. Now what I'm wondering is if i buy a 4.5 inch lift kit with trac bar, shocks, lower control arms and all the bushings and add 31s will my 3.07 gears be able to handle it? Does anybody have an idea of what the MPGs will be? The jeep will be used almost only going to breckenridge on I70 so the speed will be around 55-75. Thanks to anyone who can help. :waving:

:help: :help: I was wondering if anyone could tell me the thread size of my shifter? i have an 89 comanche and I'm pretty sure its a ba10 Thanks!! :cheers:
