stop

it's good on gas and parts

I do have an extra true trac for the d30 and a lunch box for the rear and a few othe Xj lift parts kicking around
hmmmmmmmm

noooo leave it alone is what I'm telling myself

but there is that voice in my head that says go ahead and lift that crap it will be cooler.

No leave alone it's fine the way it is

but wait it will be way cooler a bit bigger........

We will see what happens

Here's mine  , a daily driver , I like it alot ,    but it's time to buy / drive something made in this century so I'm probably going to sell it.


It's an 88  short box 4x4   , has   the 2.5   tbi    with a 5 speed and  an  NP 231 behind that ,  it has 4.10 's  in the stock dana 30 / 35  axles   and it is lifted 2-3 inches ,  tilt steeing column  , power steering and brakes   , am/fm / cd   .  There's a YJ  roll bar in the bed.   It doesn't burn a drop of oil .

 
I've replaced many items on this truck   with new parts  ......

The radiator , clutch fan , water pump , alternator    , starter , unit bearings , brake rotors & pads  ,  brake drums  / shoes / springs / wheel cylinders ,  park cable  , all of the bearings in the rear axle , tires and rims are off of an 06 Rubicon , some tune up parts , buckets and console from an XJ  and so on  


There are issues but nothing stopping me from using it daily......
There are various dents  ,  some rust , the windshield is cracked , the clutch slave  is poor , some punks / thugs stole it last year and messed up the column and the headliner.



(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v29/JeffH/Comanche.jpg)


There are 224,000 km on it  .

 I 'm asking $1500.oo   ,   a fraction of my original investment , thats with the tires and rims as shown above , the price would be much less if I keep the tires n' rims and the buyer brings their own rubber.

I just got an 86 Comanche 2.5L 4x4. Unfortunately it needs more work than I have money for right now. Still have to track down papers for it anyways. It's being parted out in the for sale section :(

In the past I have owned 3 others:
86 Comanche 2.5L 5spd 2wd
88 Comanche 4.0L 5spd 2wd
89 Comanche 4.0L 5spd 2wd

They were all beaters that did not run and were free to me, Parted out long ago :(
