87sparTruck Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 1987 Jeep Comanche 4x4 BIG TON - $1500 http://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/4899671354.html Not Mine 1987 Jeep Comanche odometer: 220000 paint color : red size : mid-size type : pickup drive : 4wd fuel : gas transmission : manual title status : clean cylinders : 6 cylinders condition: fair The time has come to part with my rusty, trusty Comanche. I'm the second owner of this truck, and I've had it since 2004. She might not be pretty but she has always started up when I've needed her to. Affectionately named Betsy Lou, this old gal has been more reliable than any Honda. She loves to work, and with 4 liters of raw American power, you can put 2300 pounds of anything in the back of her 7 foot bed. She has the Dana 44 axles mated to the bulletproof Peugeot 5 speed manual and 3.07 gears with Posi. Yes she will spin all 4 if you want. I put in a new clutch about 5 years ago, and some new heavy duty rear leaf springs a couple years prior to that. Oil is always changed with 15w40 Rotella to keep the bearings happy. Pretty sure I did an oil pump too. Fuel tank is newer too, I replaced with a 26 gallon tank. Mechanically she's a champ. I've driven her to Florida once or twice and while she's primarily a backup vehicle for me, when I've asked her to put in work daily she can and will. I've done 110k miles in my time with her, so that says something. Frame is solid, and the body is meh at best but most are that haven't been restored. Anyone that knows this truck can see the value of her and possible potential. I can send pics via text if you desire. Like I said not pretty but she's a horse and I'd drive her anywhere. Just not a pretty ride. The ideal owner would be someone who's gonna either restore her or use her as a work beast. Vehicle is clean CT title and registered.

acfortier Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I had considered getting this, but got more pictures of the rockers, cab corners, etc. Not too sure I want it anymore :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
