North4x4 Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 I haven't posted anything in a long time, or so it feels. I haven't forgotten about the comanche though. I've been really busy the last month or so finishing up my degree so I haven't really done too much. That being said I was able to get the front end back together, including the addition of a new JCR offroad front bumper. The truck is still in primer so hopefully soon I'm going to spray the whole thing in plastidip. That way when I do actually get around to finishing up the paint I can just peel it off.

North4x4 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 This past weekend I took the Comanche to the 4 Wheel Drive Jamboree in Bloomsburg. I was surprised to see only 1 or 2 other Comanches at the show, it really amazes me how rare these trucks are to see. Before going to the show my goal was to try and get the truck to be all one color. I didn't take many pictures of the truck at the show but I did snap a picture before we headed in on Friday.

TdubYah Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hey North4x4 I was reading the forum and had to register to let you know I have the blue Comanche you posted at the beginning it's in rough shape due to rust but it's now located in Spartanburg SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North4x4 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Do you have any pictures of the blue Comanche now? I've always wondered what happened to that truck, that thing was one of the reasons I got hooked on having a Comanche. You didn't purchase the truck off of ebay did you? Also, if you every want to get rid of the front bumper on that truck let me know. Hope your taking care of the rust issues, that was a very beautiful truck.

North4x4 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 I'm thinking about listing the Comanche for sale. I really don't want to but I've gotten to the point where I need more room. The problem is I'm not really sure what to list it for. There aren't many Comanches that have been swapped with the newer interior and drive train. So what do you guys think that I should put her up for sale for? I was thinking around $4,500. Here are all the details. The truck is originally a 90 LWB 4.0 5spd The donor cherokee was a 98 4.0 The front axle is a D30 that has been completely rebuild with 4.10s. The rear axle is a D35 that has also been rebuild with 4.10s The trans has been rebuilt and shifts perfectly. The odometer in the cherokee said 200,000+ on it but I believe the motor was rebuilt. It has great oil pressure and runs flawlessly. It has 31x10.50x15 BFG all terrains tires about half tread. Everything I did was pretty much documented in this build thread. The truck drives excellent on the road. The only things I have left to do is to put the ebrake in and finish up the body work. The truck is Plasti-dipped at the moment.

COFFMAN Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 NOOOOooooooo with all that good work, I think you would regret it.................................. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North4x4 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 I probably will regret doing this down the road but right now I need something bigger, and I can't really afford the keep the comanche as well. I have a son now that is almost 2 years old and it really sucks not having something that will fit the whole family in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had been sitting for a year with the window down. It was full of water inside and the floors rusted a little. The motor has a new knock as well. Other than the knock,and ruined carpet she was in pretty good shape. I DD her 15 miles a day and love every minute of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
