Dad is now addicted

[RandysMJ]

Last week my dad bought a 1987 Comanche. It's 4wd, fairly new Jasper 4.0 with header, AW4 auto,177K miles, ac, cruise control, bucket seats, full console with floor shift, d30, and a D44 rear with limited slip (non metric ton). It also has a chrome rollbar with 3 KC's, factory front hooks, drawtite rear hitch. It also has a cargo light (i'm gonna steal it shhhhh.) The rear has a 1-1.5" AAL. The paint is fairly new, it used to be silver. He is the 2nd owner. It runs and drives great. There's not a scratch or dent on it. His plans are around 6" lift, 33" Trxus MT's, 4.10's, lockright front and Detroit rear. Similar to the way mine was before the axle swap. What do you think?

that's the exact same interior I have.

and it's too pretty to wheel.

As mine once was.

I'm gonna have to go eagle and say:

Don't wheel it, find a beater to trail break.

[SuicidalPenguin]

That's a nice looking truck. I personally would be afraid to wheel that thing.

[jared]

very nice find, it is pretty, but nothing is too pretty to wheel.

[RandysMJ]

Sorry it's gonna get wheeled. :D But probably not that much. He has a 80 CJ7 with a SOA 33's and lockers that he's only wheeled 2 times in 2 years. People told me not to wheel mine too. I've wheeled mine pretty hard and haven't put a dent on it yet. ;)

Now that's sexy! How much did he pay for it, if you don't mind me asking?

[Pete M]

If he's paying for gears, I'd get 4.56 to push those trXus around. They are a heavy tire.

[RandysMJ]

He gave 2000 for it.

 

He has the 33" trxus on his CJ right now with 4.2, 4spd, 3.55's. It does good, so i think the 4.10's will be alright for him. Plus i think i can get him the gears for dirt cheap.

And a 3" tip :eek: But seriously, good lookin truck. I like the red and maroon interiors more than any others in an MJ.

Not put a dent in your rig while wheeling :hmm: :rotfl2: You must not have taken the right line :driving:

My junk takes a slight beating because its in the drivway along with some arseholeish kids to play hockey. Lets just say the MJ makes a helluva Zamboni. nothing like flying backwards into the driveway, scaring the hell outta everyone.

That's a really nice truck! Nice find! :cheers:
