70barracuda Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I know its not a comanche but I think itll fit well here on the forum. Just picked up this 86 Cheif. 2.5 5 speed. Drove down with my buddy and roadtripped it 700 miles home and into a snowstorm. Not one single hiccup and got 22 mpg! This is gonna be a completely stock build, its already perfect in the looks department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gjeep Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Very nice -- that's a 1 year only graphic package unique to '86. All caps and solid beltline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the difference between this and the other chief decals? My friend's 84 chief looks exactly the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gjeep Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 84-85 (some early 86) had upper and lower case font 'Cherokee Chief'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70barracuda Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 Thanks guys. I'm excited to get this thing back to near perfect mechanical condition. Going to be my daily when the comanche is down for upgrades. Ill get some better pictures once this snow goes away and I can get it all cleaned up.

70barracuda Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 On the lookout for this grill guard if anyone has a lead. Still undecided, but still want to try to actually find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen their Instagram stuff when I was researching. And not necessarily a goonies build, but I really like the way that one looks and it fits the 80s look perfectly.

Gjeep Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 For what it's worth, Mopar 2nd gen accessory brush guard looks and fits a lot better. Will see if I can find pic. Grizzly Products (long gone) also had one available that fit really well (sold a couple few years back to I think members here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
