Grab on to that window crank with vicegrip pliers and yank it straight out of the door! :wrench:

Seems that big of a tire would snap a dana 44 into pieces. :dunno:

Nice rig, but the price!!

I just swapped my bench out this weekend for some buckets out of a 86' manche. Shoulda done this a year ago! The only issue I found was that the seat belt buckles between 86' and 89' changed. :nuts: . To bad becouse the 86' ones had a cool AMC logo on the buckles.

How can you tell if you have metric ton springs?

I thought about that but I think the parts can be better served in my other two comanches.

southern Colorado

The chief has been rolled onto its top and has to much body damage, I can salvage the skid plates and axles for my other Commanches. Good engine, transmission, transfer case the bed is in good enough condition too.

it has the 4.0 and 5 speed. Front skid plate and gas tank skid plate as well. The rear diff is open from the factory or limited slip?

I am looking for some info on what was the off road package, I have the skidplates and heavy duty axle (dana 44) anyone know what tranny, and what kind of limited slip was stock in that axle? I am going to be removing all the parts from this 88 chief for a 4x4 swap eventually. :brows:

I would love to do that with a long wheel base bed. Might solve that light front problem too.

That is horrible and sadly what society is coming to. My prayers and thoughts for the family and friends involved.

I have mine to show newest first.

What is a good swap for the 2.8 v6 if I want a bigger engine?

it has a nice looking rear bumper fabricated on it and it looks like the 44 up front was done very well if it is not stock yes it is an 86 so I am not positive on the rear.

I went and looked at the truck this morning the body is really straight needs paint, with only some surface rust red interior. Crappy dana 30 in the rear, but a dana 44 up front. I didn't they came with 44 fronts and 30 rears. PO says that the headgasket is blown is the reason the 2.8 is not running. I am getting the rig for $400 dollars now to get it 50 miles back home :brows:

You have quite the parts stock there. I am looking for some chrome light bezels and grill just like that too.

I already have two. A 89 pioneer longbed, a 88chief shortbed (parts). Now I am going to look at an 86 with a bad 2.8 engine for 500$ It has a topper and bucket seats, which I am really after. Like I really need 3 comanches :nuts: Maybe put the bench in it and get the engine running and sell it. I will see tomarrow. Till then :cheers: :chillin:

Everyone do yourselves a fovor! If you havent allready throw out your crappy stock bottle jack as either mine is broken and won't fully extend or they are poorly designed. I found out the hard way on the side of the interstate on sunday. I now have an adequate scissor jack and the stock one is in the dumpster! The guys at the tire shop didnt take the tailgate off when they put my spare back and scratched the paint and bent the tag. :chillin: <<

I bought an 89' pioneer with great paint and stripes, body is straight, immaculate interior 188,000 miles (most are towing miles behind an RV) runs great needs muffler. 2wd 4.0 $1,650. I would not pay any more than $3,000 for one though.

(insert racist comment here) That thing is UGLY!! stupid (other racist comment here)

I would take my sidearm regardless!

Keep the TJ and buy a MJ! Both are fun although I would preffer to have a CJ5 as a trail rig over a TJ

If the high bidder is in this group and needs dome lights so bad... post a WTB domelights I'm sure he owuld have better luck than outbidding, quite possibly the sellers friend. Look farther and some lights with broken tabs have been bid up to over $16.00 :eek:

OMG the domelights are up too $75.00!!! WTF http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=014&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=330155163724&rd=1
