SubSonic Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Great Looking Comanche. Anything special under the cowl, or just for looks? Great color, and looks like your body work was pretty good as well. I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrawombat Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Looks great! I think a set of JEEP stickers for the tailgate would really set it off. http://www.jeepsticker.com/mj.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakestrum12 Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Thanks for the kind words guys. Here is a little bit about the truck: My Father bought the truck new in 87 as a 2wd, it was passed down to me after 13 years and 187,000 miles. I've pretty much done everything to it over the years. Rebuilt the stock 4.0 after about 215,000 miles, it still ran fine but it leaked oil out of every spot possible. I converted it to 4wd about the time I re did the body, and rebuilt the 5 speed transmission. It runs and drives great, but unfortunately it doesn't get a lot of miles these days. Hobbies change and then suddenly the Comanche just isn't a big enough truck to pull what needs pulled, but I keep it around for the thrill of driving it! Anything else I didn't cover, just ask!

buxmj Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hey great work. With my mj I say it has earned it's right to rest. Looks like the same for yours. Although mine is no longer my dd, I have to get mine out for the thrill of driving it also. Keep it forever. Buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
