89 SWB

[89 MJ]

Doesn't seem like a horrible price at $1500.

 

1989 Jeep Comanche base model
2.5L in-line 4
4 speed manual
rear wheel drive only - NOT 4 WHEEL DRIVE.
short box

Runs-ish. Engine sputters and surges while driving and idle when tank gets below half. Feels low on power. Low compression in cylinder 1, top end looks gunky. Sounds clunky when running. Engine probably needs a rebuild or to be swapped out.

Key cylinder spun in steering column, so that’s fun.

Been using it for home improvement projects and picking up lumber, but haven’t had the time to work on it.

Since I’ve had it, put a new clutch master cylinder in, entirely new exhaust from header to tailpipe, bitchin’ Wally World seat covers, header panel with rad LED headlights, repaired a power steering pump leak, etc.

Had plans to convert to 4.0L engine and 4 wheel drive, buuuuuut here we are. Have a timing chain kit and a bunch of gaskets for it that come with.

I also have the build sheet from Jeep if you want to decode that nightmare.

Give a call or shoot a text if you’re interested.
