1991 Comanche to become a nice daily


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, So this is my first post here and would like to say Hi. My name is Mike and I am from Vancouver, BC. Until about two weeks ago I didn't even know a Jeep pickup existed until I came across one on CL. I was browsing for an XJ and then I saw a Comanche and was like woah a pickup Jeep, how cool. So I messaged the guy and well, here I am. 

 

Here is some details of the MJ

 

1991 Comanche

4.0L replaced from a 1993 Jeep TJ with 138k kilometers

5 speed ax-15 trans

Rebuilt Dana 35 rear end

2wd Short Box

One rusty rocker and dents and dings all over it. 

Wiring/half @$$ repairs all over it

 

Paid $1k Canadian plus a $150 tow bill

 

So here are a couple pics of the beauty

And here we go...

Found a donor XJ with a mint gray interior that I will swap the Buckets/console/dash etc.

My plans for the Comanche are

 

97-01 Front end conversion

Replace basically everything that needs replacing

Interior swap

Get all dents fixed and repaint

New rims and tires

Design a custom decal set for it

Bed liner

Interior rust proofing

 

This one is close to what I want it to look like

I think the Comanche would look good with my other two vehicles

 

My XJ

And my even more rare pickup

 

My Syclone

So I am really looking forward to any advise/tips I can have and will do my best to help out in any way I can and I will update stuff as I go.

 

THanks

 

Mike

Heh, a youngin. I swapped a '93 motor into my '91 back in august. 243k on the "new" motor, still less than half what the first one had. :D

You know it's a Vancouver truck when they rebuilt the turdy-five... Don't mind me, I'm just a 'Toba hick who likes making fun of city folk. Last time I was in Vancouver was three months ago. Too warm, had to leave early.

 

Looks like it's in pretty good shape. The Syclone's cool too. Don't see many out this way, and the few that are are pretty well done.
