anamals53 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I just came into possession of a 88 short bed. it was a project started that I will finish. 1988 Jeep Comanche. 4.0 automatic 2wd 162k original miles. 4.5 inch lift and no death wobble. Very nice interior. Needs some bodywork and paint and a few odds and ends. New parts list: Battery Alternator Rough country 4.5” coils and control arms Rubicon express adjustable track bar Rubicon express adjustable sway bar quick disconnects Skyjacker steering dampener Skyjacker M95 monotube shocks Rough country extended brake lines Rear lift shackles Front rotors Calipers and pads Rear wheel cylinders Drums, shoes, and all new hardware Fuel tank Fuel pump and sending unit Fuel injectors Radiator Thermostat and housing Fan clutch Water pump Flowmaster 40 muffler 97+ header panel Grill, headlights, marker lights Tail lights lenses 32x11.5x15 AT tires Cheap Bluetooth head unit Skar speakers(factory sizes) Pioneer 1000watt amp Winch bumper. this is what I'm starting with, in the process of replacing the head gasket that happened on the way home with it. the prior owner said that it had been sitting since 2006 and was concerned about it making the trip. I knew there would be issues so no big deal. thanks for all the advice and information ahead of time. just to start which tailgate handle will interchange? 837568540_Thebeginning-anamals53@gmail.com-Gmail.mhtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Yeah I can't imagine it being a newer Chrysler code. Its got to be an AMC/Chrysler code for when the customer wanted an MJ without the decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anamals53 Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 on 7/31/2023 at 6:30 1JTMG6415JT200065 aka Mater met his end. having to stop hard because the cars ahead 3-4 seconds stopped in the hammer lane because a blue light was flashing a half a mile ahead. because the road sloped to the left and the rear brakes locked the back slid around to the left leaving me fighting it coming all the way around. in a sideways drift I crossed 2 lanes till a freightliner tried to come in the pass door. Impressed that I walked away I found another 88 for a project . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anamals53 Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 I would like to introduce. 1JTMR65T1JT200090 my new 88 project.it is in rougher shape than the last but runs better and is already 4x4.so far a reman steering box, new exhaust, shocks sway bar links, and in the process of new coils. Ordered some for a 4x4 but it seems that it has rwd springs from the factory. So return the 4wd springs and got new rwd on the way. Going through Cruisers check list in the mean time.It's got some floor board and driver rocker replacing with a bit on the driver side wheel well on the bed. Got a new driver fender an a set of 88 doors . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
