rubiconron Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Did the Comanche ever have a Honcho edition? I think I saw one with Honcho II decals on it. I'm not sure what year it was but it was 4wd with a roll bar. It was in pretty rough shape, but I was just wondering if it was a unique option or commone one.

beaterjeep Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 There is the 86 only models; X, XLS, and Custom. From 87 up to 92 there is; Pioneer, Sportruck, Cheif, Eliminator, base, Laredo. And honestly I feel that even I'm missing one or two models as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And honestly I feel that even I'm missing one or two models as well. The Metric Ton / Big Ton models. Or are they considered packages under the others. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdriver1 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 mine is a 90 pioneer metric tonne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubiconron Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 I will take pictures. As I said in the first post...It is in rough shape. It looked a lot like my Pioneer model. It was sitting on the side of the highway earlier this week. I left my card in the truck and asked the guy to call me if he was interested in selling it. He called that afternoon. So I will probably buy it if all of the details work out. Thanks for the input guys!!!! Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two I have laid eyes on, one was a Pioneer and the other is my base model/custom order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 no....the only ones were the: -chief -sport -"x" -eliminator -laredo the honcho was in the Fullsize cherokee's and J-10's You missed - Pioneer - XL - XLE But I agree on the Honcho. I never heard of an MJ "Honcho II" edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summerinmaine Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Mine is an 87 Pioneer SWB that seems to have the Metric Tonne package (at least, all the components I've heard of), but I thought the package only came on LWB vehicles.

Oizarod115 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 don't forget anyone who was in love with honcho trucks could've easily had some decals made up for his MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowey Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 don't forget anyone who was in love with honcho trucks could've easily had some decals made up for his MJ. I do like them. Very cool looking from an era when vehicles were getting 'cookie cutter' looking. But I grew up riding in the back seat of a Hornet Sport Wagon.....

All of my literature says that it was a LWB-only thing. But since all the parts just bolt right in to a SWB, someone could easily have swapped it over.

I bought it from the daughter of the original owner, and I'm 99.47% certain it was never modified. It has factory tow hooks and what passed for a factory brush guard on the front bumper, so my guess is that for '87 Jeep used the D44 with the off-road package.

Pete M Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Holy cow!!! I was digging around and found my 87 dealership brochure (somehow got separate from the rest of them) and the offroad package in 87 mentions it came with the "heavy-duty rear axle"! This disappears in all subsequent brochures. Feelin' better Eagle? :D The metric tonne package is still "longbed models only". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 couldn't you basically order your manche any way you wanted it? cause i have a base model no power windows/locks, with a/c 4.0 and full gauges which wouldn't normally be in a sportruck right?

Yes. Mine is the same thing. Base model but was custom ordered. I actually have the order sheets, build sheets, and the original worksheets the OO did when figuring out what he wanted to order.
