My new Comanche...

[JCole]

Ok guys n gals I have just recently bought my first Jeep Comanche. It's an 89 model short bed 4x4 with an ax-15 and 4 liter.

I bought the truck for 700 from a girl in KY that had buried it in a mud hole. :cheers: I have been looking on here for a few weeks now and

I have found a lot of information. I have used the search feature, but still have a few questions.

 

1. Will a reese hitch from a cherokee fit the comanche? :???:

2. When people on this board refer to a "waggy" dana 44 rear end on here are they talking about the fsj?

3. Is there anyway to tell what model my jeep comanche was? It has been painted silver. :dunno:

 

I will post some pics tomorrow as I will be reinstalling the cylinder head on the renix engine.

 

Thanks all

1. No - you'd be better off with a universal type hitch from u-haul IMO

 

2. :dunno: I've wondered that too. I belive that a Grand "waggy", the older version is an FSJ. As far as I know the XJ shared the Wagoneer/Cherokee name for several years until the Grand Cherokee (ZJ) came out.

 

3. You should be able to get the model from the VIN#. Search VIN id.

Most of the time "Waggy" is a FSJ when we're talking axles. If the subject is a front end (grill and head lights), then its from an XJ Waggy.

Thanks guys

Wal Mart has a very good universal hitch. Waggy refers to the FSJ. The sixth number in the VIN is the series.

1=S

2=Base

3=Pioneer/Islander

4=Sahara

5=Laredo/Grand

6=Eliminator

7=Limited

If you want to send me your VIN by PM I can run it through Chrysler for you to give you a build sheet. I would also need your milage too. I'm a Jeep dealer tech and have access to Chrysler info.

Huh, my comanche is a sport truck but my 6th number is 6. Are they the same(sportruck and eliminator)? :dunno:
