Hello Fellow Comanche Degenerates I’m excited to introduce my 1988 Jeep Comanche here on the forum! I bought my Comanche in April of 2024 and plan on restoring it to it’s former glory. I’ve been in love with these trucks for years, and when I found this one in my home state of Montana, I had to have it. It’s essentially rust-free, which is pretty incredible considering its age, and I’ve been slowly working on some odds and ends since I bought it about a year ago. It’s a 4.0L inline 6, 5-speed manual, 4x4 with a short box – pretty much the perfect setup in my opinion! The paint and body are also in great shape (for an ‘88). I’ve been taking my time figuring out exactly how I want to approach the restoration process, and I’m really looking forward to hearing advice and ideas from all of you. Looking forward to connecting with other Comanche fans and sharing the journey as I make this truck shine! If you have any tips or thoughts, feel free to share – I’m all ears! I will give you a rundown of what I have accomplished so far keep you updated as I complete upcoming projects! I also have a YouTube Channel and will be giving updates on there as well. Introduction Video https://youtu.be/SL-PyVJPCao I have been a Jeep guy for a long time. I’ve owned a TJ for 7 years and is what the majority of my YouTube channel has been based on… until my Comanche came along and dare I say… it’s my new favorite! Adam - Montana Offroad

about to hit 190k mileage and runs pretty well. it has good bones and is a california truck. all typical eliminator specs....4.0, 2wd, bucket seats, slide window, etc. getting it ready for radwood 2024!

I ordered a replacement EGR valve from Rockauto, but it is significantly different from the factory one (much larger diaphram). It came without the vacuum transducer and does not have a port to connect the original vacuum transducer. From the limited information I can find, it looks like the transducer interlocks the EGR operation to only open when there is exhaust pressure. Has anyone ran this setup or similar EGR without the vacuum transducer?

Send me a message if you have one.

2:00am here, working on getting my Comanche to almost new quality. Decided I wanted to share with you my excellent results Materials required are photographed!

For my friends that want to restore to OEM. Get ideas of what you want out of your Comanche. I really enjoy the 80s stock looks and packages.

I am looking for factory interior lights. B pillar and if they made them roof liner. My jeep was basically bare when I obtained it. Thanks.

Does anybody have any insight or experience removing the factory, integrated trailer hitch from an '88 XJ? It's the kind that bolts to the rear bumper, in addition to the frame rails (see below). I want to put a standard 2" Reese hitch and use a drop shank to accommodate my lift, but I'm kind of stumped on how to remove this one.
