UNL1MTD Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 1987 Jeep Comanche Sport (MJ) Short Bed 4.0L Inline 6 Renix Era BA/10 5 spd 2wd D35 with 4.10s (non c-clip) 31x10.50 BFG All Terrains (lots of tread) Red 195k miles I've owned this since 2007. Its been a labor of love to get this thing on the road and reliable enough to be a back up ride to my LJ, a dump runner, and a truck. I've never pulled the trigger to make it a wheeler, but instead put my energy into factory upgrades. With the onset of family and adding another vehicle, I do not care to keep it around and shuffle in and out of the driveway. Its always required a bit of love to keep running, but has never let me down when put into service. It was my DD for about 3 months this year while the LJ was in and out of the shop. I have put 2300 lbs in the bed when doing a walkway this spring and the truck did great with that payload. Generally speaking, I have put about 2 thousand miles on it a year and its done whatever I have needed it to. The 'Mods': -H4 Head light conversion with harness -Upgraded interior lights, Kick Panel lights, Underhood light -Electric 10 blade fan wired to a switch on the dash -Fog Lights -4wd suspension -Full Gauge cluster -15" Ravine Alloy Wheels -Bucket Seats and Center Console with new rubber floor mat -Factory Tow Hooks -Heavy Duty Battery Cables The Good: -Inspection good through June of 2013 -Brand New exhaust from header to tail pipe (less than 2k miles on it) -All brake parts (minus two hard lines) replaced since I have owned it including the pricey 2wd rotors. -Low % of body rot. I would be lieing if I said it was rust free, but its in great shape rust wise compared to the majority of MJs I have seen. -4.10s turn the 31s easy and the truck is fun to drive -New Battery (less than a year old) -Gets 17-20 mpg -Runs +- 10 degrees off of 210 (doesn't overheat) -Comes with a lot of spare parts (dizzy, starter, spark plugs, steering, control arms, etc.) The Bad: -Its got a BA/10 with near 200k miles -Its got dings and dents like a 25 year old truck would (its been used) -Paint is from the AMC era, clear coat issues, old, etc. -Herculiner in the Bed looks like crap where the Sun has been hitting it -Still has an oil leak (changed valve cover, RMS, oil adapter seals) Doesn't leak as much as is visible on the bottom of the trans -Oil Pressure Gauge doesn't work (changes sensor twice and have run a mechanical gauge, pressure is good) -No Headliner -Broken Visor Clip -Broken Driver side mirror adjuster plastic trim -Vent Windows leak a very tiny amount -Shifter is rigged in place -Clock doesn't work right Price - $2500 Located in Dahlgren, VA I'm not on the boards all that much, but send me a pm and I will be sure to check it as soon as I can. -Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
