87 Comanche Chief Restoration


Recommended Posts

Just picked up and added to the collection of MJ’s with an 87 Comanche Chief. This truck is almost fully optioned out from factory with all the skid plates, Tow Mirrors, RollBar, Bedlight, 4wd 5spd, and Air conditioning. The body is 99% rust free, the plan now is to do a full day 1 restoration on this truck. Here’s a link to the guy I bought it from’s build thread

Very nice. Take good care of her. :driving:

Absolutely will, it’s gonna be a long and steady build on it, tracking down all the og parts is gonna take some time but it’ll be a build that gets better as it goes, but it all starts with getting her running

Any progress yet Jake? This truck is going to be pretty cool when its finished.

Sadly not much yet Carter, the header panel and new drivers fender as well as a front bumper have been hung, and I’ve done lots of parts collecting at the junkyard and on marketplace picking up Turbines, Trading the Bench for Buckets with @acfortier.

I currently have all of the air conditioning parts I think except for a compressor. Getting my Daily XJ going took over, and as soon as that was done my dads daily blew, so now we are trying to figure that out. The Chief is looking like a spring project right now (especially because it was -15 here last night). It will get the rear bumper off my black MJ and a Rollbar solution in the works, And of corse fix all the electrical issues. Here’s how it sits for now Hopefully it’ll be ready for road-trips this summer with my black truck.
