webbjeepxj Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 1986 Comanche Custom 2.5L, 2wd, 5 speed $100 Didn't run when I bought it, but threw a new CPS, battery in it and it fired right up, then drove it home! Check out the bondo action on the bed. Its actually in pretty good shape. The rust is pretty minmal underneath and there is only one real rusty spot on the drivers side, the passengers side is pretty rust free. I had some 31x10.50s ProComps on Grizzlys that were on my XJ till I went to 33's. I was going to put them on craigslist, but I'll keep'm on the MJ for a little while.

Comanche County Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Is that a stock paint scheme? Don't see a lot of two tones around. Good deal for 100 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cody4359 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 cut past all the rused thru metal til you find solid. u can take a lil screw driver and hammer then tap around to find the thin stuff, ull be able to tell by the feal and noise (and looks) if its just surface rust or more. fyi its a PIA to try weldin thin metal and even worse when its half rusted thru. keep the gaps tight and itll be fine http://c2cfabrication.com/store/index.p ... e694kjk1i4 youll find your floor pans here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webbjeepxj Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Update ..... So I decided on the MisMatch Rat Rod style. Snagged a ton of stuff at the JY today for $40. The guy at the counter said if I gave him $40 I could take as much as I could carry. Here's the bed which I'm picking up next week. Wood Grain Bezel Maroon backing board. Here's the other stuff. This yard has 3 Comanches, all in pretty good shape, 2 have missing motors. I have some blue, grey, red, nice assortment of goodies. Wheels with some used 30 inch MTRs, wheels have a little rust, good for the Rat Rod style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee21490 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The back spacers don't look very safe.. Unless the pic was taken before you tightened them or something, The nuts look like they're only 25-50% threaded on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
