JustinStelter Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Just bought a 1988 Jeep Comanche Chief. This is very similar to the first Comanche I bought when I turned 16. If my wife found out I bought this Comanche, she would think I'm in a mid-life crisis. Can't tell her until I find a new place to sleep. The Comanche seems to be in fairly good shape for its age. Here are my questions: 1. As I begin to make minor repairs, should I seek original parts (when available), high performance parts, or just standard parts available at a local parts store? 2. What can I do to the 4.0 engine within reason to maximize performance? 3. What does the VIN tell me/you about my Comanche: 1JTMR63S8JT077852? My goal is to keep this Comanche as original as possible, but to install simple, easily reversible upgrages like: K & N air filter? 2" suspension lift upgraded stereo system brush guard tint windows 3/8 or 1/2 inch wheel spacers solid, one piece lug nuts headers? LED foglights? Remote entry/start? Rollbar? Rhino line the undercarriage? More specifically, right now, the Comanche needs (please recommend original, performance, or standard): 1. battery cables 2. starter 3. shocks 4. complete tune up 5. brakes 6. lights (LED or original?) Thank you in advance for you advice. Sincerely, Justin, aka Comanche Lover for Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
