Automan2164 Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Hey all, just wanted to toss an ad up for a fellow Comanche Clubber who hasn't been on in awhile. Kitch is selling his MJ as he is venturing out on his next chapter of life. He's moving out and getting hitched. He bought this truck from a friend who bought it from me some years ago. It's been a number of years since I had seen it, but I stopped out to look at it today. Unfortunately, the midwest took a pretty firm grip onto this one, and it's too late. Kitch drove it for awhile, enjoyed it, then set out to lift it. The front arms were fabbed up for him by a neighbor who maybe shouldn't have. (Please no comments, keep them to yourselves) 1988 Jeep Comanche SporTruck 4.0L BA10/5 231 89K original miles D30/CH8.25 3.55 gears SOA rear, VERY temporary lift in front 8" coils IIRC, adjustable track bar Cab has been boatsided Rollbar welded in bed It is still a good runner from what Kitch said, but I didn't hear it run. He knows what it's destiny is, but would rather see it go to a Comanche Club guy who can put the parts to good use before sending it to the big boneyard in the sky. I told him I would toss it up here for him and see if we can find a good home for it. Asking price is $800, OBO... He is aware of what it is and what it isn't. Any offer will be considered. Rob
onlyinajeep726 Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Holy mother of rust, Batman! Even the thermostat housing is rusted... how? Thought those were all aluminum...
schardein Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Holy mother of rust, Batman! Even the thermostat housing is rusted... how? Thought those were all aluminum... Parts store replacements can be had in cast iron.
Automan2164 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Posted September 7, 2014 Price Drop and bump. $500. Any reasonable offer will not be refused. Lots of good parts left on it, including a low mileage Renix engine. Rob
neohic Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Should've brought this one up with you too. I'd totally take it in if it wasn't for the drive.
Automan2164 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Posted September 9, 2014 Bump for the couple guys I ran into at the Junkyard looking for MJ parts. Rob
rustybottoms88 Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 I have the uniframe to make this truck whole again. If new owner needs one hit me up, hate to see it go to scrap. GLWS.
89MetrictonJeep Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Bump for the couple guys I ran into at the Junkyard looking for MJ parts. Rob I have a 89 with a 2.5 tbi that blew, looking for any standard trans to do a motor and trany swap. any parts left ?
Automan2164 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Posted September 28, 2014 Whole truck is still available. Where are you located? Rob
Tommy Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 I can't have a whole parts truck at my apartment, but if he gets to the point of wanting to sell parts, I'd be interested in the rear end and the bed and possibly doors/fenders. Heck, maybe the front springs too?
Automan2164 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Posted September 29, 2014 He can't have this in his driveway much longer either. Truck needs to leave as a whole. Any reasonable offer will not be turned down. The owner knows what it is and is not. He just wants to see it go to use before ending up where we know it is headed. Rob
Tommy Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Understood. I'll see if I can figure something out. I'd love to swap some parts with my dd.
89MetrictonJeep Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 I'M located in Cedarburg Wi i can tow it all away if the guy above doesn't want it
Tommy Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 I've found a friend who agreed to let me use her garage. If I can get a trailer I'm definitely interested. I'm planning on swapping some cosmetic bits and maybe some suspension bits with my dd, so when I'm done the drivetrain and interior will be intact and the body will just have some uglier bits on it. If I can get the trailer...
Automan2164 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Posted September 29, 2014 Just let me know who wants it and I can get everything set up. Rob
Tommy Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Would you/Kitch be available Thursday to make a deal? I think I've got all the logistics figured out on my end. After I get what I need from it I don't see why I couldn't figure something out with 89MetrictonJeep to get the engine/trans/wiring for his swap. Two Comanches saved by a single donor, wins all around.
Automan2164 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 I'll send him a message now. I should be available after 4:30 or so. Rob
Automan2164 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 Sounds like kitch has some stuff going on with work. He said Wednesday or the weekend works better.
Tommy Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Ok. I'll have to see if I can get there this weekend. Might have to wait until next weekend
Automan2164 Posted October 11, 2014 Author Posted October 11, 2014 I believe it is currently scheduled to be bought this weekend. Rob
