I have a 1988 Jeep Comanche. I haven't had it long and I have no mechanical knowledge 😄 Running on YouTube and Google to help with it so I can't answer much about it. It's a 2wd, automatic, and I've got the 4.0L in line 6 (renix). It's a short bed. Body is in great shape, and it runs and drives. I've done some work to it, and have a few more mechanical things to do but nothing major left. Mostly little things and cosmetics. 

 

I'll eventually do more mechanical updates and upgrades but currently just checking things off the list of problems it had that the previous owner knew of.

 

I saw a guy down the street from me with one and liked it. I was lucky enough to find this one online. 

 

I updated the lights and grille/surrounds, currently waiting on a front and rear bumper to arrive from dirtbound off road, and have a lot of other things in mind for it. 

 

Sticker with the build date is faded and damaged, can't see the date. 

 

Located in Jacksonville Florida. 

 

Black with Camel interior, bench seat, vinyl, column shift. 81,907 miles. 

 

I currently have it, it stays at my home, and I have a clean title for it. Tagged and insured.

A recall that a dealer would just laugh at you for. Even though there are recall O2 sensors left lol.

[jdog]

yeah most will probably do that. but you might get lucky(don't know who will pay)

Replaced the O2 sensor earlier this year. Thanks for the information, I was curious if the bench was stock. I guess it is lol

When I first got it I tried to call the local jeep dealer in search of a part and the parts guy actually laughed and was like no ma'am that's discontinued 😆

[eaglescout526]

They say its discontinued but what they won't tell you is if anyone in the country has it. 

[DaffodilRex]

I was lucky in the beginning. A local junk yard actually had one. I got a lot of trim pieces and little things I needed from it but it was pretty picked over. That's where I got my red tailgate. Once I realized the MJ and XJ were pretty interchangeable I had a lot better luck though lol.

welcome to the world of old trucks.   thank goodness the XJ sold so well or we'd be pretty screwed.

those are '06 TJ Rubicon rims.   I've got a pair of 06s on my trailer and a set of 05s on my Liberty.   best rim ever!  8" wide and with just a bit less backspacing so the tires push out a smidge.

Thank you! I had no idea. I have to figure something out though because as much as I like them, the rub. No U turns for this girl 😬

[Pete M]

where do they rub?

I haven't tried to narrow it down or figure it out yet. I just know it rubs when I turn too sharp. I hadn't gotten there yet lol

[Pete M]

if it's rubbing on the flares, a small spacer lift should alleviate it.  

[MiNi Beast]

i bet rubbing on lca. wj arms or jk arms  would correct this..

Out there working on it yesterday and it looks like it's on the flares closest to the door side. 

[Pete M]

well, you've got options:

 

-small lift to pick the flare up out of the arc of tire travel

-smaller tires

-stock rims (should change the tire travel arc just enough to clear)

-trim the flare a bit

-ignore the noise

-never turn around again

[Jesse J]

I would go lift or trim personally

[89 MJ]

I wouldn’t trim. I would do a lift. You should get by with just getting a front spring spacer.

depends where it's rubbing if it's on the pouter fender than don't
