SlimFisher Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Will a Cherokee rear bumper fit a Comanche? I'm looking for a cheap solution to replace the home made box steel one currently mounted to my truck. The truck will be coming to it's new home in 2 more days. I can't wait. I've been driving my wife's Mazda Protege for 5 months now. I surrendered my Blazer to her once my Son was born since it's roomier and hopefully safer.

Mitch Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I can't answer your question but your truck is in pretty good shape! Any plans for it... Paint? etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepthing07 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 No the rear bumper won't fit. who built your bumpers? they are hella ugly if they were black they wouldent looks so bad. same with the rims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimFisher Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Yea, it's pretty clean. A bit of bed rash, and the odd rust spot mainly under the doors and a bit near the front fender flares. I am planning to replace the bumpers and wheels. I decided to keep it pretty stock and clean. I'm going to replace the wheels if I am not happy with whats on there after I clean them up. They are original, just painted blue for some reason. As for paint. I always liked the Red Cherokee Limited's from around 89 I think. So I will probably repaint it whatever colour that is. I am also considering making it into a Comanche limited by adding the gold pin stripe and BBS wheels. For now, I just want to drive it. It's an 87 4 Cyl 5 speed, 2wd.

SlimFisher Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 HEHE, Jeepthing, that's what I said when I saw them. I think it was owned by some colour blind dude. Even the teal greenish blue decal think is but stinking ugly. I bought it cause it's got low clicks, little rust, certified and sniffed. The price was pretty good to for the shape.

500 MJ Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Yah dude, throw those tires you posted in the other thread on that and get rid of the brush guard and at least paint the bumpers black and you will be surprised how nice that truck will look then.

mike Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 hey are those tweeters mounted in the little square area just in front of the door handles? it's kinda hard to tell cause the pic is a little fuzzy. that gives me an idea on where to put some whenever i get some extra $.

mjeff87 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Yay! another all-black (AMC) interior. That makes 3 of us that I know of here that have it :D I love mine, but don't have A/C, and the PO installed a sunroof that doesn't have an inside covering to pull over it. It's like driving a pizza oven around in the summertime...... Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimFisher Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Mike, those are tweeters. I have no idea if they work. The stereo is older than the truck. mjeff87, black interior is sweet. Jeep was smart putting fabric on the seats. I had an S10 with no AC and vinyl seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimFisher Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 A steering wheel swap is definitely on the wish list. I don't like the feel of this one it's too skinny. I'm thinking mahogany would work nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I don't like the feel of this one it's too skinny. I agree. I put me one of them fancy steerin' wheel cover/wrap thingies on mine about 5 years ago to thicken it up some....it's held up surprisingly well.... I've been scouting the 'yards in search of a good condition newer style black 3 spoke wheel, but haven't found one yet that's been worth pulling. I like the looks of them better than the 2 spoke. Maybe I'll get lucky this weekend <> Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimFisher Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 Hey, that doesn't look too bad. It may be a good solution for now until I can justify dumping $100+ on a steering wheel. I also like your light bulb shifter. Mine is an 8 ball. I brought the truck home for the first time today. The license office was surprisingly dead. One minor incident on the way home. My wife and I stopped for lunch, when we were done the 10 year old battery just couldn't turn over in the cold. -10C or 20 American Degrees. After charging it up with my blazer for almost 30 minutes it finally turned over. My first bolt on purchase was a new battery from Crappy Tire. I went with an Eliminator Spiral something or other. 790 Cold Cranking amps and a 10yr warranty. Plus if you get stuck somewhere they will come and boost you for 3 years.

mjeff87 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I also like your light bulb shifter. Mine is an 8 ball. It's actually a cue ball :brows: I suppose an 8 ball would match a little better, but I wasn't thinking that the night I "borrowed" it from a local club :D Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimFisher Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 Must be the angle of the picture. It looks like a light bulb from here. I'm going to pick up a wheel wrap thing on the way home tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
