Knucklehead97 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I was planning on buying that Ford Escort that I posted about a month or so ago. But the guy has stopped messaging me back and my interest has went into something else... Jeeps! Go figure, right? A guy today on Facebook posted a very nice auto, 2×4 Comanche for sale. Waiting on a message back to figure out the price and actual condition. But upon finding interest in this Comanche I think I've decided if I buy ANOTHER vehicle then it needs to be something my family and I can utilize more than a little car. Preferably an automatic Comanche (I'm the only one in the fam that can drive a stick) but a Cherokee would be acceptable as I already have brand new tires I could slap on it and a lift kit. A Cherokee can pull a trailer and hold a lot in the cab if I lay the seats down. And a good thing about Cherokees and Comanches is I know how to fix pretty much anything that could go wrong on them. Hoping and praying for a Comanche. But looks like I will at least be joining the XJ club soon! I'll keep ya'll posted on the Jeeps I'm looking at. And if anyone has an auto Comanche ot Cherokee for under 1800 around upper Alabama then I am definitely interested! Thanks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadan Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I've been fighting the jeep addiction as well. A friend recently bought a lego kit of a CJ-5, and now I have been looking at CJ's as well. Then I found this, and the urge to spend all of my money is strong lolhttp://omaha.craigslist.org/cto/5571578496.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 This the Comanche I'm looking at. I've seen it around town and it is CLEAN. I just wish the guy would message me back with a price because I'll even skip watching Captain America: Civil War tomorrow to go look at it. That Jeep bug is rough, eh? :D And yes I noticed the grill is upside down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knucklehead97 Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 He wants only 1500$. I'm going Sunday to look at it as thats the nearest day he's off work! Very excited right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 That looks to be a very nice truck indeed :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnj92131 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Family car? Cherokee, not Comanche Besides, many, many more Cherokee's out there than decent Comanche trucks. Also look at a Grand Cherokee for a family car. It is more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 By "family" car I mean for my mother, siblings, and I to all be able to drive and haul stuff easily with haha. My brothers and I thrift a lot and would have gotten many pieces of furniture if I had only had a running truck at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadan Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Wow, that is a clean one. For $1500, I would leap all over it as well. is it a 4 or 6 cyl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I'd have given the guy $1500 for that thing before he had time to finish saying he wanted $1500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 I'm jumping all over it trying to get to it before Sunday because someone could easily get to it begore I got off work. It's a 6 cylinder. Plans are a 2" Cherokee lift I have sitting around, possibly 31's after I wear out the set of 235's I have on my other Manche. Might get 4×4 swapped in before Winter if I feel like it. Oh and as soon as I get it I will be ordering Volvo injectors, premium plugs/wires, changing the oil filter nipple to take bigger filters, and adding a touch screen radio I got for 15$ :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Oil filter nipple, as in changing to the HO one with standard threads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Oil filter nipple, as in changing to the HO one with standard threads? Absolutely! Motorcraft Fl-1A's are like 4$ at Walmart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Guy selling the Jeep just messaged me. He said he can not sell the Jeep until he has the title put in his name (don't know the situation on that) so now I'm playing the waiting game till the title comes back. He said I was first in line for it when the title comes back, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buxmj Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Good luck! That would be a nice purchase. Throw your siblings in the back and you are good to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
