Previous thread:

Year/Model - 1991 Jeep Comanche Pioneer

 

 

Drivetrain- 4.0L HO, AX-15, 4x4, D30/D35 3.07 gears. Planning on swapping in a D44 with 3.55 gears (already purchased) and re-gearing front to match.

 

Cooling- Stock

 

Electrical/Ignition- Stock, relocated ignition coil to firewall

 

Suspension/Steering- Stock for now. Planning on replacing rear leafs with MT ones from General Spring, new shocks all around

 

Interior- Full black interior, not fully installed. Need a carpet or vinyl floor, and a few more trim pieces installed.

 

 

Brakes- Rear LSV deleted, replaced with YJ unit by kryptronic. Have a double booster from a XJ ready to install.

 

Lighting- Stock halogens, installed some aftermarket YJ fog lights on the front bumper, wired them up. Rewired headlight harness with kit from eBay.

 

Exterior- Still the original paint! Plans are to repaint with same color, eventually.

 

Wheel & Tires- Turbines, refinished and powdercoated silver. Tires are 235/75R15 General Grabber ATX.

 

Misc- Exhaust was completely refreshed by kryptronic

 

Best MJ story- Had an 88 in high school, was one of my first vehicles. Always turned heads, was a great little truck. I stupidly sold it after doing a ton of work to it (young kid, dumb decision) and regretted it ever since. Still get lots of people asking about it, where I got it, plans for it. I'm sure I have a better story from my HS days, but I can't remember!

 

CC is Awesome! Why? 

Great group of guys. I've been on plenty of forums where folks love to point the finger, be defensive, etc.--nothing like that here. Folks can ask a question and not be ridiculed

This is real looker with those later Pioneer offset line graphics.

I really have to hand it to Chrysler, the one great thing they did for the Comanches after the AMC buyout was some excellent graphics packages.
