70barracuda Posted February 22 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.
Gjeep Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Very nice -- that's a 1 year only graphic package unique to '86. All caps and solid beltline.

Gjeep Posted February 23 Posted February 23 84-85 (some early 86) had upper and lower case font 'Cherokee Chief'.
70barracuda Posted February 23 Author 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 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.

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 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).
