jeeppapa Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Welcome, you did really good on that truck considering the scarceness of the Comanche there. It looks in decent shape. It might be cheaper to have brackets made there. Take that bumper to a mettle shop and get an estimate on getting it straightened. You might get lucky and your headache will be gone maybe for allot less then shipping. Some of the dodge trucks ran the same type bumper. I have a bent on both ends original on my 88 Eliminator and FRY bumper on my 87 Pioneer 4x4 long bed. Frankly I prefer the FRY much stronger. An auto restoration shop should have a line on a good mettle guy. I'm kind of liking that red interior. Your lucky it's in such good shape. Makes that rare truck even rarer. Best of luck to you. I'll look for your build. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roar Nesbo Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Got it back from the shop today, a few small things to get it approved. Most of the faults are small and easy to fix, but there are two things that I need some help with: 1. The joint (don't know if it's correct in English?) on the left pitman arm needs to be replaced. Can this be salvaged from a Cherokee or do I need to order one? And if so, which one? 2. They couldn't find the vehicle identification number under the car. Where is this located usually? I have my doubts they'll find it, I was probably stupid when trusting a Hells Angels member and bought his car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 1. There is no joint on a Pitman arm. Which part are you referring to from the below diagram? Image Not Found The VIN is on the left dash and firewall body plate on domestic models. Your export may be different, but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've circled the "joint" or whatever it is that I need in the picture linked below https://goo.gl/photos/4aH1jipmZUngTWP5A The VIN might be different here, insane rules on vehicles. But I will look for it, I might have covered it in paint by mistake. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 That's the Tie Rod End (TRE), left hand, to the Pitman arm. P/n 52005739. The other end attaches to what is commonly called the drag link. One of these off a Cherokee XJ will work, but they are not that expensive, so it's best to get a new one if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will salvage from the XJ i have on hand just to get it approved for the road, and at the same time order a new one. Thanks again, really appreciate the help you guys provide! Edit: Sure thats the right PN? The manufacturer doesn't list Comanche as a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Sure thats the right PN? The manufacturer doesn't list Comanche as a match. P/N checks out correct for MJ, XJ, and ZJ. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dautomotive&field-keywords=52005739&vehicle=1991-42-348------------4-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roar Nesbo Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 So I got a picture of the car I might own shortly. I just looked quickly, but these doors won't fit my Comanche, right? https://scontent.fsvg1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t34.0-12/19970597_1461135360631947_170674142_n.jpg?oh=eb449c70b3aee133175c0315d983a953&oe=596686C5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
