89 MJ Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 August 2020- CoastChief's "White Rabbit " Build Thread - https://comancheclub.com/topic/60618-88-40-white-rabbit-ca/page/2/ Year/Model - 1988 Jeep Comanche Sportruck (MJ) Drivetrain- Stock 4.0 I6 - Stock Peugeot BA 10/5 - Stock Dana 35 Cooling- open cooling system conversion Electrical/Ignition- Stock Suspension/Steering- stock - have Tokico Trekmaster shocks ( stock ride height ) Interior- Mostly stock. 1st owner added aftermarket temp gauge, and old school carpet kit. Brakes- stock drum Lighting- H4 headlamp harness upgrade Exterior- Snug Top “ BAC-PAC “ Yakima Roof Racks with loadstops Wheel & Tires- Stock steel wheels - Mastercraft Courser STR tires Misc- Have turbines/Warn brushguard/ rear window to install Best MJ story- Think just buying the truck, and learning more about it from the first owner. While cleaning his garage I found all the missing details. I found the rear window, window sticker, every receipt imaginable. It was reassuring to know it was cared for, and had been on plenty of adventures. I feel even more responsible to keep it really nice, take it on my own outdoor endeavors. CC is Awesome! Why? The members are extremely generous not only with information, but in any way they can be. I have seen people really go out of their way to help one another with their MJ's. I think it is awesome we are all working to keep these trucks alive as long as we can. I will always be extremely humbled by how many people are willing to help, and contribute to others' success on this website. In the beginning, I was overwhelmed by the idea of owning a rare older truck. With the friends on here I'm more excited than ever. Look how clean that engine bay is Congrats @CoastChief! And thank you for helping the MJ community with your reproduction side moldings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickS Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Beautiful truck! The mirrors are interesting. What was done to fill the holes from existing SporTruck mirrors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buxmj Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Congrats and well deserved mjotm. I am in awe of so many of the builds on this forum, from simple to epic, but I really appreciate seeing some of them kept as original as possible, but I am biased though. Buck.

What was done to fill the holes from existing SporTruck mirrors? they don’t really work, but I’m keeping an eye out for someone that does good body work. The previous owner just put the screws that mounted it in the holes. On 8/25/2020 at 11:59 AM, Car Enthusiast said: Nice seat! Did you recover it? It’s the original, just keep it covered.

I thought of taking it off, but its really useful. I could quickly build a deck across the roof rack and haul camping gear next to the kayak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
