jeeppapa Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Found a Comanche Custom 2.5L 2wd got most everything worth getting. Didn’t have time to get the fuel pump. Carpet was worn in a few spots but still good. Never saw a Custom before. Anyone know what made a Custom? Had no idea they were out there.

Strokermjcomanche Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Did you get the interior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeppapa Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Did you get the interior? Got the carpet, lights, console, visors, bottom half of the seat had a fitted seat cover in great shape got that and seat brackets. Didn’t pull the steering wheel. With the other exterior stuff the price was getting up there. FYI there’s a D60 under a 87 cherokee at a Yard called Jones in Little Rock Ca. This is the D60 I found under the MJa few months ago.

DirtyComanche Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 That's not a D60. (Neither of them are. The Comanche has a D44 though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeppapa Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 That's not a D60. (Neither of them are. The Comanche has a D44 though.) The round diff with the mettle plug appears larger the regular 35 so that is kind of throwing me a bit. It on an 86 or 87 cherokee. An one know any info on the Custom Comanche?

An one know any info on the Custom Comanche? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The diff on the Comanche had a 10 bolt pattern not a 9. From what I’ve read that is the way you tell the difference between the 44 and the 60. My comanche has a 44 with 9 bolts not 10. The how I’m figuring it’s a 60. It not a good pic but I counted them 4 times because I wanted to make sure. Sad news I drove an hour and 15 to pull it and it had already gone to the crusher.

Eagle Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 The Custom was 1986 only. Don't remember for certain but I think it was the top trim level in 1986. The Dana 44 has a 10-bolt cover. https://www.extremeterrain.com/wrangler-jeep-axle-identification.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8valvehero Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Looks like an AMC Model 35. I had one in my ‘86. AMC had their hand in everyone’s parts bin, so no surprise. Should be near identical to a D35 with slight visual changes depending on year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbscomanche Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 did you grab the lights? Any chance you'd cut a deal on those or just the passenger side @jeeppapa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeppapa Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 did you grab the lights? Any chance you'd cut a deal on those or just the passenger side [mention=29524]jeeppapa[/mention]? Yes I got them. I have 3 sets in various condition. Meaning plastic mount broken, weathered, or a crack in part of the lens or a chip on the edge of the lens. None have any holes in them. Text me at 816-516-6856 and we’ll talk details. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a question for my own education on the subject. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 It's a Dana 35 with the early cover. Some had rubber plugs and some had the metal plug. Either way that is a 35. It is worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The early D35s are sorta better than the later ones since they aren't c-clip, but that's like saying it's sorta better to accidentally break your left hand instead of your right, neither is really any good at the end of the day.
