Arch_Stanton Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Hello all. I've been lurking for a while now and thought I should introduce my truck. It is a '91 short bed, 4.0 auto 4x4 that I have had for about 2 years now. So far I have replaced a lot of suspension components, and it has new rear leafs, new coils up front with JKS adjustable spacers, a JKS adjustable trackbar, and WJ lower control arms. I took off the 16'' wheels that were on the truck, and swapped on some 15'' Jeep wheels from an XJ, then put on the 31'' BFG all-terrain tires. I took off the Tonneau cover and put it in the garage, but I'm still still thinking about trying to fix it up and put it back on. I had a generic roll bar, but I didn't like the look after all and sold it. I thought I'd want a topper, but unsure of that now as space is limited. I also have a tool box that could fit in there, but right now the bed is empty. There are several small things I need to get done on this thing, and it needs a new headliner and paint, but it's slowly coming along and it's been fun to own for the last couple years.

MiamiMJ Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Finally picked up my first MJ. It's an '89 LWB, 4.0L, 2wd with 57,000 miles. It needs some work (starting with that yellow paint), but I'm thinking I'll keep things pretty simple and use it as a DD. If anyone has any opinions, I'm all ears. I've been following along for a bit and am glad to have found this group. So much helpful information and a bunch of really nice people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of 7 you've scrapped 3. Quit it. technically, the last shell was written off through insurance when i had it given to me. and the second one was a freak accident. from all of these trucks have taught me a VAST knowledge of things and life experiences. if you think three comanches sent to the bones by a member is bad, you havent been around cc that long. but no more clutter, on this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vakarian Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hello Comanche Club! I got my first Comanche and loving the truck. It's 1991 4.0L Pioneer Long bed with 138,000 miles configured to an AX-4 transmission and, D30/D35 axles. A bunch of my friends laugh everything I get out of it since I am tall guy (6'6") and driving a little truck. Been doing basic work before I start to upgrade and lift her. I am looking forward to all the knowledge I can learn from everyone here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickin’Chicken Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hello all. I got an '87 Comanche recently. Also have an '84 cj7, '81 Scrambler and a '94 Land Cruiser. I've bobtailed 13" off my Scrambler and plan to do the same to my long bed Comanche so that it's the same as a short bed with longer wheelbase. Here the Scrambler is: and here's the Comanche.

PCO6 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Here's mine. It's an '88 2WD Eliminator with about 108,000 mi. on it. It's pretty much stock, the only revisions being a SONY radio and the cleats on the side of the box. It was originally red. The previous owner had it painted black and the painter did a good job of it. My plans are to convert it to 4WD this summer, install a 2" lift and put 245/75/16 tires and MOAB wheels on it. I've also included a shot of its garage mate ... my 1989 Cherokee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
