Hi, this is a very general question, but I've done research on this topic but am having trouble finding something close to a definitive answer. I'm looking into doing a Comanche resto for a first vehicle, as i really like the vehicle, but the reliability due to it being over 30 years old is the main reason holding me back rn. Time commitment isn't a problem for me especially during the summer, and I have a budget of 13-15k. Is it realistic to get one in reliable working condition, a solid body, and interior and exterior within those parameters, and if i do all the work i can myself or with a family member's help? The main use for this would be a DD for at least around 6 years, and some light yard work/pulling a small trailer. I've read the 4.0L is the most reliable engine, and this question is also based on myself finding a Comanche with one and no frame rust within under half my budget. thanks for any help in advance

I just picked up my first Comanche last week and had a few general questions about it. First off it is the 2.8 V6 motor that has not had the best reviews. I have no money to drop a new motor into it and was wondering how long it would last me. It has 96k original miles and runs great. It needs a little bit of work but is it worth it with the 2.8? The truck has no rust anywhere and is a solid truck for the year. Also I'm not sure how to post pictures. I'm new to this website. Thanks.
