Jeep Comanche
In about 2 weeks I will be getting a 1989 Jeep Comanche, and Im not really sure what I want to do to it. Anyone with MJs, are welcome to post pictures to give me ideas on what to do. O, its 4x4 so thats even better.

It all depends on what you want to do. Also aftermarket support has come a long way for these rigs, compared to when I started wheeling them in 04.

That is a cool build if you can weed threw all the idiots posting just to post.
I currently have 3 Comanches. I DD a '88 2wd 4.0. Have a '87 Chief that needs a tranny and a '89 Pioneer that needs a drivetrain. Just need a place to do the work. The DD. I dont really have any good pics of the 89. The 87 is the red one.

Mine never had the comanche badge on the front fenders and it is an '87.http://www.comancheclub.com/forums/v...p?f=27&t=21903
Mine was in far worse shape than yours before I fixed it.
My floors were fine (although they are a problem for most). The biggest problem I found is the rust behind the fender flairs. It is not a problem on the front fenders because front fenders are widely available XJ but the rear is the bed. It is tough finding a bed in good shape.

Awesome.. just rermember to build rock rails for the back of the bed.. or cut the lowers part off. Also Make sure you have a good Gas tank skid. Check out my webshots page.... and you can see what is possible with a MJ.
