LoTGoD Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 2 part post: 1. Can you still get new Comanche emblems out there? Dealer? Aftermarket? 2. Anyone have a layout of emblems for each model? My 90 never got them put back on after the previous owner tried to repaint everything. The only one on it right now is the 4.0 Litre emblem on the tailgate, and I would like to know which ones I need to get to restore it back. I guess I'll need to run the VIN to see what model it is?
voltageyz0 Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 there are 3 ''comanche'' emblems one on each side right in front of the door and one on the tail gate. and there is a jeep one above the grille
Dave88 Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 i just saw some comanche emblems on ebay. ill get you the link

BLHTAZ Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 It will also have THESE on both sides if it is 4x4. They go just under the side vent behind the doors and are pretty much even with the level of the door handle.

Usually on the tailgate it has the emblem for whatever engine it has...
LoTGoD Posted July 3, 2008 Author Posted July 3, 2008 Excellent...thanks guys. So would I need to run my VIN to verify what specific model I have? I just checked, and I can get the 4X4 emblems from the dealer still....but they run $17.00 each :roll: I'm going to call on the Comanche emblems today and see if they can still get those.
89eliminator Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 no you don't need to run the model. I'm pretty sure that the layout is the same on all 87-92 MJs. The 86's had different style letters and different engine options. You will need the JEEP letters on the front end, 2 Comanche on the fender, and the engine option on the tailgate.
BLHTAZ Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 The "comanche" nameplates are discontinued. I checked the Chrysler national locator and there are none in any dealership or warehouse in the country on that system.
mjeff87 Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 I've got a bunch of Comanche emblems, plus a set of "4X4" ones, if you can't find any. Hit me backchannel and we can figure something out (like give me your mailing address and you can have them..... ;) ) Every time I see an MJ in the 'yards, I pull them off, if they are still there. Jeff

BookspanS Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 If you want the 4X4 emblems, just go to Advance auto, or Auto Zone and you can get 4X4 emblems for maybe 5 bucks
jteckmann Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 It will also have THESE on both sides if it is 4x4. They go just under the side vent behind the doors and are pretty much even with the level of the door handle. My '86 had the 4x4 emblems on the tail end sides of the bed, just about even height with the top of the tail lights. But I don't know if the factory switched locations at some point in time, or if mine were added on by a PO.
Pete M Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 86-87 had them at the back of the bed. Jeep switched locations in 88.
manche Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 try junk yards i broke one of mine of when i power washed and i found 4 comanches at the junk yard with all there emplems but no 2.5l engines :cry: i need to upgrade to a 4.0 but i got 243,887 miles on my 2.5l so ill run it till it dies then upgrade
BookspanS Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 i got 243,887 miles on my 2.5l so ill run it till it dies then upgrade One problem with that....the engine won't die :rotf:
BookspanS Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 yep...the 2.5 and 4.0 Litre engines are like frikin superman...except their keyptonite is everything hooked to them :wall:
Kenosha Warrior Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 well arnt they cast iron gm iron dukes? Do I need to slap you? ;) Iron dukes lived shortly in CJ-7's and AMC cars till 'round 1984 when the XJ debuted. It was powered by a carbed 2.5L AMC designed unit which gained TBI fuel injection for 1986, the first year of our beloved trucks.
Pete M Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 A common misconception. The iron duke and the AMC 2.5L are very different. They aren't even the same displacement if you list it in cubic inches. :cheers:
mancheflo Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 Does anyone know if there’s still some around? Found 1 on eBay for 20 but I’ll be needing two unless there’s a good way to take them off if my fenders now and put them back on new ones
Eagle Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 Used only. They are attached with double-stick trim tape, which you can buy at any of the parts chains. Use a thin knife blade to slide under them and peel them off.
mancheflo Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Did they stop putting the engine on the tailgate in a certain year?
RustyRodder Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Nope, at least not for the 4.0. Not sure about the 2.5's
