majastee508 Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 looking to purchase a SWB MJ in the New England area. I'm located south of Boston Ma but willing to travel a bit for the right truck. don't mind a project but would prefer it to be relatively stock and have a 4.0.
The86manche Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Have you checked Facebook marketplace? There were a few of them on there. I'm in the lowell area and I'm always checking on there.
jpnjake Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 I see alot of swb mj’s on marketplace, I’d suggest looking for a 2wd and converting it if you want 4wd since 2wd trucks are the ones that live. Or buying someone else’s unfinished project isn’t a bad idea either
majastee508 Posted January 16, 2023 Author Posted January 16, 2023 ive been keeping an eye on marketplace but seeing mostly longbeds pop up locally. have a hard time getting info from some sellers as well. i sold my last mj about 2.5 years ago (regret it) that i had converted to 4x4 using a 97 xj donor. i purchased a gladiator soon after the swap and it wasnt being used so i let it go. now realizing that wasnt what i should have done with it. hopefully going to look at one tomorrow night. if all goes well ill post it up
jpnjake Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 White 91 Swb That’s one in RI 3500$ 88 black Swb This one’s in Everett 9000$ (2.5l) 91 Red Swb In Connecticut, eliminator, 4000$
majastee508 Posted January 17, 2023 Author Posted January 17, 2023 thanks @jpnjake. the white one is a 4cyl and couldnt get any other info out of the owner. the black one in evrett looks nice and clean but is also a 4cyl and 2wd so not really what I'm after. the red 91 in ct isnt currently running but looks solid underneath and is also a 2wd model. id prefer not to start with a 2wd although not out of the question for the right deal. having to grab an xj to complete the swap just adds to the overall upfront cost and additional labor. trying to hold out for a factory 4x4 for now.
jpnjake Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 No problem, those are just the ones that I had my eye on for a little If I see more you may be interested in I’ll shoot them your way
The86manche Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1236723390528002/?mibextid=dXMIcH I've seen this one a few times. Olympic edition 4x4 that could be scored complete. But it's out in New York. Might have to drive to find one.
acfortier Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 Is that Olympic Edition with the roll bar LWB?

The86manche Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 This one just popped up. The bed needs some addressing but key parts makes the patches now! Go get her
majastee508 Posted January 19, 2023 Author Posted January 19, 2023 thank you. waiting for page approval
majastee508 Posted January 28, 2023 Author Posted January 28, 2023 Thank you all for the added support in trying to track down a new to me Comanche. I was able to find a 92 eliminator locally and it will be a project for sure but is a running driving factory 4x4.

pizzaman09 Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 It's always worth waiting for what you want. I spent 3 years looking for mine. Ended up in a very similar spec, Eliminator 4x4 with and an AX15. I wanted AC too. I seriously considered purchasing one as far away as Phoenix, and they weren't necessarily what I wanted. Finally ended up finding the exact truck in Reading, PA only a 5 hour drive away. It was a 3 owner truck with 250k miles, perfectly straight body and only one rust hole to address. Congratulations on finding your Comanche!
