Jeeptard Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Just purchased my first ever restoration. I hate to admit but initially I wasn't planning on restoring a Comanche but this one just sort of fell in my lap at a price I couldn't pass up with pretty cool story behind it. I bought this gem from the second owner that purchased this vehicle initially in 1992 with 55k miles on it. He then proceeded to drive this beauty from 1992 until 2017 as his daily driver racking up a measly 230k miles. Currently the truck is sitting at 285k miles, hasn't run in four years and need a whole lot of love. I found this website and thought some like minded folks would appreciate the truck for more than just her rough appearance. some notes on what this baby has upgraded seats original brake lights sliding rear window I will get more pictures when I have time to really get in there but this is going to be a full resto. If you have any questions or warnings or whatever feel free to let me know. I sort of jumped right into the deep end on this one. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxyjeep Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Welcome to the club! Start going through Cruiser54's list of electrical upgrades and make sure the cooling system is solid (I'd recommend upgrading to open personally). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is a '92, he already has the open style cooling system (i'm jealous) Nice find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked the guy if he replaced the grille and he told me he had done it himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
