!!!Crew Cab Comanche!!!

[dfreeman616]

if i had a welder and another driving vehicle besides my comanche, i'd do something like this in an instant. i already have the cherokee body i'd need.

[zjrog]

That thing is way too long, I know its been said. The second one is a bit too short. I drive a F150 Supercrew and it fits in my garage, but I often wish it had a longer bed...

*that* would give 99% of the members here little woodies.

 

go pat!

 

 

I even think Eagle would like this. Saving another MJ body from scrap.

A four eyed crewmanche? NO

 

 

 

 

 

 

But a two eyed crewmanche would!

hey, it could have 8 if you wanted...

[rockhardzj]

hey, it could have 8 if you wanted...

Well, if your going for 8, you might as well do 16, or 24, maybe even 48!

Last I checked, I've been driving a 2003 WJ. :D That 4.7 blows 4.0's out of it's @$$ any day.

 

And I have yet to drive my MJ, but when It's done, it won't be a piece of junk, so HA!

 

My only piece of junk I have is my 98 ZJ, but once the MJ hits pavement, the ZJ is going on eBah!

I know the guy who owns the long one. Those Pics were at Camp Jeep I think. I can get more info on the truck if you guys want. He has a few XJ's and MJ's in his collection from what I remember. He is a great mechanic. He also has an older Tug that has a deisel in it. not sure if it is from an isuzu or a jeep deisel but it has torque out the whazoo. If I find more pics I will let you know.

[dfreeman616]

cj10a? those are sweet tugs. i believe it's an isuzu diesel

[UNL1MTD]

I was also at camp jeep and I snagged a couple photos of the Comanche Crew from different angles.

 

[JeepcoMJ]

what I really want to see is pictures of the frame rails, and of the interior.

[Eagle]

I've been wanting to build one of those out of one of the XJ hulks I have around here for about 5 years, but I don't have the time or money or workshop to pursue it. I wouldn't use a longbed box though, I'd use a stock shortbed.

 

That one is very nicely executed, though.

[pingpong]

HIs CJ10 is just bad @$$ he had it at one of the Annual runs a few yrs ago. I got a chance to look at that rig also a few yrs ago, and man is it nicely done.

[Red Dog]

Bought my MJ new in 87 and drove it for almost 20 years before the wreck. Rebuilt the engine once and performed more misc repairs than I care to remember. I was just hoping for this after all those years of loyalty to Jeep pick-ups.

I can still dream.

[Mountianrider]

Very nice work. I saw a similar four door rig on ebay, not quite as refined, but still nice. Missing the visor, which I happen to like, along with the Cherokee roof rack.

 

Supposedly Jeep quit the Comanche because of flagging sales because the Comanche did not have a club or crew cab. Dodge did with the Dakota.

 

It's obvious that the Cherokee platform could have been utilized to produce a crew cab version. So is this a Cheromanche?

The question is, would this kind of machine have sold well enough to have saved the Comanche?

 

Personally, a short bed is the fastest, most economical, and most fun to drive. The long wheel base is no where near as nimble. I think Jeep had it right to begin with. I've converted at least one person in to a Comanche Nut with that Go-Kart short bed I sold him. His Chev and Ford now just sit and I bet he sells one of them by next year.
