'97 comanche


Recommended Posts

I'm starting to think this thing's a scam. I remember awhile seeing two posts, from two different places on CL, several hundred miles away both selling this truck at the same time.

 

The actual truck is probably tucked away safe with its creator. I mean really, who could possibly have the know-how, ambition, resources, and money to do this... and then sell it?

That was the plan all along for mine before my wife fell in love with it. It does not cost that much to do the conversion.

 

Here is a break down of what I have spent thus far,

 

89 MJ $400

97 XJ $1200

MJ D44 $225

Tail gate $125

New NOS rear bumper $160

Front fenders $50 for the pair

stock 97 XJ radio $20

seats $300 (2 different styles of buckets so far)

front Bumper cars $20

97 XJ 2 door seat tilts $50

Dashes $50 (had 2 different ones)

Rubicon MOABs $175

4" lift Kit $250

new A/C system $100

 

Total $4300 I bumped the total up in case i forgot some stuff.

 

Stuff sold

All MJ stock stuff $500

All not used XJ stock stuff and carcas $500

Other crap I sold that I did not need (2 97 Dashes and seats) $300

 

Total $1300

 

Total spent $3000

 

It is not to exspensive to build one if you wait for the right deals to come along.

i was thinking more about this one i saw once on here that was apparently a 2000 cherokee that was possibly cut off behind the windshield and under the seats and the back half of a comanche ( that had the exact same treatment) welded on to this. - apparently the frames were a different width, but this was overcome with some gusset plates welded on.
