The "hulk" 87 Inline 4, 4 Spd Manual, 2 Wheel Drive.

I have been searching for a good Jeep Comanche for quite a few months and any time a clean one came available they were either way to expensive or gone the next day.  I talked to the wife and got permission to jump on the next one I found for a reasonable price and clean.  Here is what I have.  It has 31/1050R15's on some nice aluminum rims.  The rims and tires brand new were $1200.  I did not pay that much for the entire truck.  The truck was sitting for 8-9 months.  The guy I bought it from said he bought it for his 19 yo daughter hoping that her "redneck" friends would fix it up lol.

 

The Hulk

 

 

I pulled the two seats and the crappy plastic liner/insulation and it was soaked.  I was really worried it was gonna be a disaster under there but it had a "restoration" not to long ago.  

 

This is what I found.

 

 

I hope to have it running with in the next couple weeks.  I put a new battery in it and changed the spark plugs.  It will turn over but won't start.  It needs the head gasket done, it looks like someone used RTV...  I am planning on leaving it mostly stock for now and just getting up and on the road and then down the road I'll do the Cherokee 4.0/AW4/Front end swap.  I am not planning on starting anything until the rust is taken care of and she is running.
