scaleless Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 Just got a text notification. I saw a white Comanche (with Pioneer stripes, though) sitting at a auto shop recently, and I almost stopped and asked about it. If this is that truck, I won't forgive myself lol. I'm heading over and I'll update with pics and a VIN when I get there. Anyone need anything? I'll ship.

scaleless Posted May 25, 2021 Author Posted May 25, 2021 VIN: 1JTMU64S8HT184505 I'll throw it up on the registry shortly. Had the pleasure of meeting @cjate on the yard! He took the tail lights and the parking brake. I'm grabbing the seats, the interior trim, the tailgate, and probably the topper. Edit: they want $120 for the topper so definitely not lol
Pete M Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 I'd grab that center console too if it's not horrible. there are 8 bolts holding the bed on, plus 2 gas tank bolts, plus ebrake bracket bolts, plus random electrical harness bits. I think all are 13 and 15? plus some had 2 bolts going from the spare tire carrier to the bed and some didn't. and the spare carrier is good you should grab it too. plus the rear bumper. plus the rear springs. plus saw off the whole rear frame. plus I can show you how to slice off rockers if you're really into saving the important stuff

Dang, should I bring 2 trailers? Unfortunately the rear bumper is pretty mangled and the spare tire carrier cable is cut, but everything else seems pretty ok. The bed is pretty straight. I have two wheelbarrows full of stuff today, though, so I might have to make another trip! 14 minutes ago, Pete M said: I'd grab that center console too if it's not horrible. You mean you want me to grab the console for you or you just recommend I grab it in general?
Pete M Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 in general. but if you still have it I'd take it off your hands a cable can easily be replaced. a rustfree bumper that's mangled on the ends can be fixed.
Kaiserman Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 Might as well buy the whole Jeep at this point! It looks like it's worth saving.

I'm very disappointed that Pull A Part doesn't let you, even if you offer 3x what they paid. I'm sure it's some dumb government reason. The truck is very clean inside and out, but they installed a sliding rear window really badly and it leaked enough water in to rust the floors away. Nothing that can't easily be fixed, though! It even has cruise control!

scaleless Posted May 25, 2021 Author Posted May 25, 2021 Right, right! I had to leave so that's something for the second trip. But I definitely at least want to grab it.
scaleless Posted May 25, 2021 Author Posted May 25, 2021 Currently debating on asking if they'll sell the entire rear half of the truck and I'll make a Crewmanche.

500 MJ Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 How about pulling the (rust free / dent free) doors too? And don’t forget the headliner and center sun visor clips.

KoopaKid Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Cool, i'll let you know once I've sorted through the mess and put it back together again. Currently hunting for interior trim. Upholsterer of previous owner made a gigantic mess of things.
