ttruckinon Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Hi all, New here and I just bought my Comanche a couple of weeks ago. It's a 91 2wd with the 4.0 motor and so far I am quite pleased with her. The seat needs "work" (I feel like I am sitting on the floor) and there is no headliner but the body is clean and she runs and drives good. I am not an off-roader and I bought the truck to drive to work and to pull my trailer when I go to the track. We (My better half and I) also have a 98 Grand Cherokee that I like so when I saw the Comanche for sale I grabed it. Looking forward to fixxing her up a bit and a lot of fun miles in her.

Xacto Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Welcome from another 2WD owner. We're a rare breed here amidst all the amazing off road rigs but I still learn a lot from these guys. You'll have a lot of fun with that truck, I've had mine since it was new and I still love it to death. How many miles do you have on yours?

The last 3/4 years were on a Suzuki TL1000S. (#280) I just picked up a GSXR 750 for next season. And here are some pics of the new truck. By the end of this season I hope to try entering a race or two just to see how I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROADLESS Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Another welcome to the forum. Assuming your 4.0 is the HO in combination with 2wd and SWB, i bet you can really roast the tires! Anyway, nice looking Comanche and bike too :-D. BTW is yours a manual or auto tranny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as quick as my old Dodge 1/2 ton with the 318 Magnum but it ain't bad! LOL It's an auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
