That picture was taken somewhere farther east, Bowron River area. On 4/22/2018 at 1:13 PM, wyldcdn said: Terrace BC, building my brothers dream mj. Along the way one for me.

PCO6 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Here's mine parked next to what may be the only other Comanche in town. I don't see it very often and think the owner visits his son who lives just down the street from where I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture was taken somewhere farther east, Bowron River area. I got kinda lost in PG on my way through the first time. Google literally sent me in a circle. Going down the main drag along the river coming from the east on 16, it must've thought going all the way to the end of that and across the river was shorter than the signed 16 route and I blindly followed, but I got down there and I guess it must've screwed up which lane I was in and I never even noticed it was recalculating until I was driving down that same strip along the river again. It sent me across the bridge, back the way I came, then across another bridge and back onto sixteen. The next time as I was getting sent back around after crossing the first bridge at the last minute I made it into the other lane and got headed north out of town... or something. I eventually made it back onto 16 heading west out of town but I can't say that I could pick out the route that I took to get there for the life of me.

Highway 16 basically dissolves into nothing when you come in that way. You're supposed to turn left on Victoria, but the better route is to turn left on Queensway only a couple blocks into town. Otherwise yup, you wind up going over the Cameron Street bridge, then you're over by the brewery and get turned around, then you get onto Highway 97 and go back to the actual junction of 16/97 in the middle of town. They've talked about a bypass route and fixing some of that... Hasn't happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they hard to convert lol No, pretty much just get an XJ Cherokee that has the parts you need and swap them. Basically just get one that has the same engine and fuel injection, then take the transmission, transfer case, front axle, front driveshaft, tcase shift linkage, etc out of it and install them in the MJ. The only thing you'll need is to have a new rear driveshaft made, as finding a 4wd Comanche one is rather elusive. There's a few builds here where it was done, and lots of threads on it in the tech forum. My green one started out as a 2wd, although I bought it half converted.

Nibbs Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 https://classifieds.castanet.net/details/factory_built_jeep_turbo_diesel/4146828#. Hi I live in Kelowna British Columbia Canada and have a 1986 Comanche turbo diesel 2.1 Renault. I talked my friend into buying it from original owner who towed it behind his RV, this was about 2005 and I bought it from my friend in 2011. It has 233,000.00 kilometers on it. Extra long box and large diesel tank. Have original box canopy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
