Back when these first appeared (1986) I wanted one so bad, but it wasn't in the cards (or in the wallet!)
In 2008 I found this 1987 Jeep Comanche on e-bay and bought it sight unseen. Then I went and drove it home (4 hour drive one way). Over the last 3 years I have put a lot of mechanical work into it, because at 214,000 miles a lot of things were just plumb wore out!
I drive this truck everyday and I love it. All original, no lift or anything. It is a 4.0L auto. short bed base Laredo 4x4. The only thing I did out of the ordinary was install a Posi-Loc cable system for the 4-wheel drive engagement (I despise vacuum pumps).
Now I have to deal with the ever increasing problem of RUST, the arch nemesis of AMC.
Larry's Comment: Kelly...that is a very nice looking Comanche MJ. The paint looks like new in the photos.
