1989 Jeep Comanche SporTruck (base model) 2WD

 

4.0 L, 5 speed Peugeot BA10/5 standard transmission, short bed

 

Build date: February 1989 (same as me!) in Toledo, Ohio.

 

Current Location: southeast Louisiana (Northshore). I have wanted a Comanche for many years and it is everything that I hoped it would be.

 

Status: Runs, drives, and shifts great! I just bought it 3 days ago, but have already driven it all over the city. Only a couple of issues I've noticed thus far, mainly the taillight fuse keeps blowing. I haven't started cruiser54's tips though so hopefully doing those will help. AM radio still works. It wasn't outfitted with AC, just the fan with the bi-level option. Also, there is floorboard rust, but I haven't yet pulled up the carpet to see the extent of it.

 

Exterior color is pearl white (PWB) with the "SporTruck" decal. The original decal is faded, but I will eventually order a replacement decal. Interior is gray with vinyl bench seat. Previous owner upgraded to LED headlights, but I'd like to find some OEM ones to switch them back. Also, the passenger vent window is just plexiglass. I'd like to get some of the openable vent windows. I bought it from a guy up near Huntsville, AL and we trailered it back here to Louisiana.
