89comancheowner Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 This is my 1989 2 wheel drive pioneer that I picked up on sat Jul 2. I have wanted one for a long time got this one for 800.00. It has new tires, clutch,pressure plate and throw out bearing. Other than that its a little rough. This is the pics of the truck before it came to me. Now its at my house
banshee Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 'its a little rough', not really you should have seen mind the day it arived, your's looks good and only $800 did you drive it home, or hall it??? the only thing mine had was a good drivetrane and the rest rust, good luck... B...
comenschen Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Looks like the front end is pushed in pretty good...perfect excuse to do a 97+ conversion!! Heck yeah! Keeping it 2wd, or converting to 4wd?

treklight Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Good Luck! I love to watch the 97+ conversions. Can't wait to see what you have in mind. :popcorn:

89comancheowner Posted July 13, 2011 Author Posted July 13, 2011 Well just like all good things this is not a good thing. The guy sold the 97 out from under me o well happens all the time.
89comancheowner Posted July 15, 2011 Author Posted July 15, 2011 :wrench: Took the front end off the bumper mount on the driver side was smashed in so i cut it out. Getting ready for the new parts from the very clean 1989 jeep Cherokee that I picked up today. So now I can convert mine to 4wd when i get a manual 4wheel drive trans. GOT LUCKY FINDING A WHITE ONE
cody4359 Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 and 2 door bucket seats..... i need a set :wrench:
89comancheowner Posted July 16, 2011 Author Posted July 16, 2011 I officially got the parts jeep home and the wife can not believe that i am going to strip it o well. I will do the front firsts and then start on the dash changing it from blue to gray and then the seats and console. Then the 4wd swap i have the manual trans that was in it but it lost a few gears so I am going to take my 2wd manual and have the output shafts changed.
89comancheowner Posted August 2, 2011 Author Posted August 2, 2011 got my front end changed over here is a before and after what do you all think. Before: After:
comenschen Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Niice ...front end wasn't clobbered in too bad then huh? Same wheels I have for my truck, looks great! What size tires are those? I was going to throw some rubber on my wheels for my DD, but wasn't sure how big I could could go on that rim.
89comancheowner Posted August 3, 2011 Author Posted August 3, 2011 Not smashed to bad had to cut out bumper support on the frame and weld in one off of my 2 door Cherokee donor. The tires are 31/10.5.
Thunderbear Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Let me know what kind of interior parts you're going to have left over? Looking great on the exterior!
89comancheowner Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 bought a stripe stripper wheel and went to town on the stripes i really did not think it would work but I was wrong it took me 15 min to do one side. Here is a before. Here is after
89comancheowner Posted September 4, 2011 Author Posted September 4, 2011 Well found this really clean 95 and had to have it. It threw a rod out the bottom of the motor but other than that it is really nice. So the plans are to put the doors on for power windows and locks. Change out my blue interior to the ultra clean gray interior out of the Cherokee. Got a three inch lift coming it will be here Wednesday. Ok now the fun part Taking all the drive train out to make my MJ 4 wheel drive hell ya. Note my MJ is standard and going with the auto thats in the Cherokee.
