jeepin4on4 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 The drive over Sherman Pass in Mono County California to Carson City Nevada did prove that with only 83k original miles on the Inline 6, the old gal was severely under powered. As California Title reads: Class is AH, Body Type is MH Cab: 1987 AMC Comanche Class 1D Laredo package, electric windows and locks Engine 242 MFI Transmission 4 speed auto 4x4 (still researching the transfer case) Front Dana 30 Rear Dana 60 Cab forward including the frame is Factory as far as I can tell. Rear of Cab to the bumper is where it gets very interesting at the least. Custom 35 gallon fuel tank (works perfect, gauge works) Frame is stretched behind the cab and at the rear (it retains part of the OEM spare tire frame work) The frame is beefed up to hold what I can tell is an 8 stack of leaf springs (SUA) The rear duels are 8 lug, the front is the standard 4.5x5 with a wheel spacer and another rim with the tire, Front and rear are different. The camper part is a typical 1980' style Winnebago Warrior (what i could find at least very similar) It will take several months before any work starts on it because I have another Comanche and my XJ that are first. The build process will be posted in CC to keep everyone who might be interested of the progress, and I might show the build on my YouTube Channel.

Pete M Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 the 89/90 computer will give an 87-88 a few more horsepower. other than that, do make sure that all your sensors and fuel system are in perfect working order. and complete all of Cruiser54's MJ tips (the link is in the link in my signature).
