89eliminator Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Yes, i've bought another Comanche. Over the last year or so I've purchased/sold 2 other very clean MJs. Both had already been modified by the previous owners and I realized that I much prefer to have a clean slate to start a build with to put my own touches on. I saw this new one posted on a Comanche facebook page. Was only 4 hours from me and the deal was way too good to pass up. I am now the owner of an 88 4.0/auto Pioneer longbed. It has a dana 44 rear with heavy duty leaf springs. Full power interior, bucket seats, and best of all absolutely zero rust. This will be a slow build but my plans are a slight lift and keep it my street ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to still run electric but its good enough to work out of, especially since most my tools are M18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89eliminator Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 Been slowly collecting parts. Plans are to LS swap it. Got a 5.3 out of an 01 Silverado along with 2wd 4L60. Just started the tear down process of yanking to the 4.0 and prepping the 5.3. Will be running s10 headers and Novak mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I am very interested in how the LS swap goes. Love the garage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 Got the 4.0 out. Will start tearing into the 5.3 next and clean it up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 Test fit of the Novak mounts. Seem to fit up really nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 Making slow progress as of late Due to clearance with the steering box and LS power steering pump along with the overall alternator height, I picked up some brackets to relocate all of that. Pump is sucked in closer to the engine centerline and the alternator is much lower. I also picked up a winters sidewinder shifter. Biggest remaining puzzle piece is the harness.

ThatJeepGuy Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Love the sidewinder shifter. There was a ratchet shifter in my orange truck when I got it home, the winters is absolutely preffered. The side to side for each gate takes a little getting used too but no hesitations on going this route again. Are you going to integrate the LS with the factory cluster, custom gauges, dual computer setup and retain factory cluster, holley terminator setup? Also are you going to retain the older body or go to newer body and dash setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
