Factory Turbo Diesel Comanche Owners

Hi all!

 

I'm curious to see how many of ya'll have a factory turbo diesel Comanche. It still seems like nobody knows how many of these were sold or still exist. It would be nice to know if anyone else on here has one of these unicorns. Running or not, let's see em!

 

I currently own two in Alabama. First is a running 1986 XLS. Second is a non running 1987 Base model

Rumor has it Automan2164 still has one, but he's not active much here anymore. 

 

Wait.

I think this is the first I’ve seen you post since I’ve been on the forum. And I’ve been here something like 5 1/2 years. Glad to hear you’ve still got it.

I don't have a turbo diesel Comanche, but I am a big fan of diesel and had even considered if I ever need to "re-power" doing a TDI swap

 

BTW, what part of Bama??? I am in the NE corner, about 25 miles east out of Huntsville:L:

Mine doesn,t count. But given how few there are, I'll speak up anyway. 1986 XJ w/2.1 TD (J8S-814). 4WD w/5 speed manual. I have a tough time finding out where to look for BTDT info on maintenance and repair. 

 

Recently found some interesting J8S things here:

Just tell the browser to translate.

Your 86 was the only only one I have seen in person and that was Over 10 years ago when frank owned it before cayden. I have stripped down and 86 xj with the diesel but the engine was already dismantled before I touched it.
