CODriver Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I feel like I must be blind since besides my own I havent seen another MJ since August... . Being in Colorado I would expect a decent amount. I remember back when I first saw one I was a huge XJ fan and didn't even know what a Comanche was, and I thought, "What knucklehead would grind off the back of their XJ to make a pickup?" So anyways I've been on the hunt for an MJ since then, how often / where do you typically see Comanches? (Meetups excluded) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tugboat95 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 There is one other one in my area. A black and yellow one. I've seen it twice since I bought mine 2 months ago, but have no idea who owns it. I was told there was a green one recently but the owner passed away a little over a year ago and it disappeared shortly after.89 ComancheEliminator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Not often. Besides the two members I’ve met from here I see about two to five a year. Sometimes it’s the same MJ I have seen once before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdog Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I've seen a few in Denver more in the summer and nicer weather Stock 1988 swb 4.0 ax15 np 231. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I think I've seen 5 (still driving) around here in GA in the last few years.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87MJTIM Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Besides the one in my driveway, I've seen about three or four around me (Frederick MD). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Every day. They aren't rare, I have 2 of them in my driveway! Â In the wild (and not counting Jeep gatherings), not many at all. A single digit number in the last year, for sure. I did see a really clean red HO longbed in Tullahoma, TN a couple of weeks ago as I was coming home from a junkyard. The ones I used to see regularly around town, I haven't seen at all recently. I'm even starting to see less 97+ XJs, and clean 96- XJs are starting to get downright uncommon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Whats bad is these trucks are literally hidden in the most remote areas too. I can tell yall right know where a black one is in the middle of Nevada just sitting in someone's yard with about 20 truck camper shells on other peoples properties.  So MJ's are out there, they are just hidden.

fiatslug87 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I have three and the funny thing is my neighbor directly across the street also has one, we've been neighbors for 24 years! I've been meaning to post it's VIN since I don't think she's on here.

Smokeyyank Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 In my huge town of 7k people there are 3 I known of. One is a HO that is clean, other is a rig beat to crap and last one is decent 4 banger. When I was in Denver I saw one every now and then but not often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastChief Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Iv only seen three in my life. I work in Los Angeles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCO6 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I've only seen 2 here in town (pop'n 90,000) including mine.  There's a silver one just down the road across from where my kids went to elementary school. He uses it a fair bit but to him it's just a "truck".  I saw it parked on the street one time so I pulled in behind and took a pic.    Last summer I came out of a store and saw this one (on the left) parked next to me.  The guy was just passing through and stopped in to the same store.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I have seen only around 3 in as many years and one is a guy I work with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I know of five, including mine. I have seen three in person. I have not seen @JeepTractorGuy‘s, but I know he is near me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scguy Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I live in a small town of about 4500, I know of 3 MJs. Mine, a red short bed with a roll bar, and another short bed that is sitting for probably 15+ years. Owner isn't interested in selling.

olddude Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I think that I may have seen 2 in the last five years. I also live in a small town. Actually, I think one of the two was seen in Athens, about 45 min. north of here. Very rare to see one here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ωhm Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 A long, long time ago, I was surrounded by hundreds, if not, thousands of MJs. Even more XJs. Now I live in the "Land of the Ford Ranger". Haven't seen one in over 30+ years, but I keep looking and looking and looking...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I see a couple per year in my town. I can double that if I need to do something on the military base. But if I want to see 10 or more, I can drive past a friend of my body shop guy's place. He buys every 2.5L MJ in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CODriver Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Yeah, they're getting pretty hard to find... I recall on 285 near Evergreen seeing the back of a parked Comanche, but it was dark and I only saw the taillights and some lettering on the tailgate, but it was probably just a Dakota. Hopefully this summer I see a ton more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaterComanche86 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I know of 3 around Baltimore, ones a shop truck, another parked in a driveway by my old high school, and the last is in my neighborhood with the front axel torn apart (been meaning to talk to the guy). Oh and mine so I guess that’s 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75sv1 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I used to see about 5 of them every week, say 5-10 years ago. There was a Comanche Chief here for a few months. Could have been a Summer Intern. I think I saw one a few months back in a town about 15 minutes from me. I would say, that I see a lot of XJs. The Jeeps seem to have survived more that anything from the 80s and 90s, or ever '00s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMO413 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I've seen three in the town I love in and that's it. Mine I believe it's the only one that is driven constantly. The only other ones I've seen I had to drive to Dzimms house to see his and Pete's 1/2 a Comanche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante2 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Seen about 6 in my travels around the state. I live in central Oklahoma, and I have the only one in our town (pop about 6000). There was a long bed across the river but it disappeared awhile ago. There is a black one with a factory roll bar about 40 miles from me that I have thought about trying to get once I have my shop built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
