Mods:If adding a CL link is verboten please let me know and I will add pics.

 

 

 

 

1990 Jeep Comanche 4.0 5spd 4x4 longbed 143k.

 

I bought this a little over a year ago thinking I would like to get into Jeeps but have been missing Toyotas so...

 

Good

Runs well

AX15 trans with external slave conversion

Year old NAPA clutch, slave, master and line

8 month old NAPA battery and starter

2" budget boost lift

Year old shocks (4)

Grand Cherokee front swaybar links

Year old 31x10.50 Definity Dakota mud terrains (Pep Boys specials) on newer Jeep steelies. 95% tread left.

All fluids replaced a year ago

"Closed" cooling system removed with filler tee in upper hose

Upper and lower NAPA rad hoses, thermostat, and heater hoses new

E-fan relay wired to a switch

Engine grounds refreshed/updated

Interior fuse box cleaned well

Year old NAPA plugs, cap, rotor, and wires

Interior is pretty nice

Full gauges

Aftermarket sliding rear window in great shape. Lock works

Some wiring repaired. Nothing bad just old crusty wires replaced here and there

I am the second owner. NM native truck. No floorboard rust.

 

 

Bad

Slight engine knock. 15/40 oil mostly cured it.

When I did the clutch/bellhousing I did not get the flywheel turned so the clutch chatters

Kinda ugly

No headliner

Clutch master was leaking and got some on the fuse box (as usual)

Parking brake pedal ratchet stripped

Has been in an accident at some point so there is bondo work on the bed and door

Driver door hinge welds broke at some point and the previous owner welded them back on badly so the door doesnt quite line up and is hard to close

Dana 30/35 axles with 3.08 gears

Transfer case (231) is a little noisy

Needs to be aligned after the lift

 

 

There is probably more good and bad but thats all I can think of right now. Basically I bought a neglected truck from the original owner and threw a bunch of money at it then decided I don't like the vehicle. Its got good and bad points and is a somewhat rare truck to play with or leave as-is and use as a dump-run truck.
