1989 Jeep Comanche
Year: 1989
Type: Unknown
Engine: Uknown

This Comanche was emailed to us from an enthusiast and this is what he had to say!
"Jason, here is an old shot of the 88 Olympic edition Comanche I was telling you about I will get a better shot of it without all the junk on it. I paid $600.00 bucks for it and it only has 58,000 miles on it....... I have installed tow hooks on this truck but modified the original factory install so you don't have to cut holes in the lower air dam. They may be good pics for a Tech Page and it's really easy too."
Description:
1985 Jeep Comanche, (Original MJ Concept/Prototype) This truck was the 30th MJ off the block when Jeep first rolled out it's Comanche concept, before they were "official" in 1986. It's birth was chasing Baja trucks for the 1000, and if I have my way, it will be returning! It has the optional 2.8L, 173 CI, V6 from the 86 models, the uni-body design (of course), and beefy tube framing on the entire frame. A custom front and rear bumper, and skid plates protecting the gas tank and front end... I'm probably going to pre-runner the whole thing... while trying to keep it original as possible. (I say that now...) It's already seen it's share of off-road abuse from me, and despite needing a tune-up, floats like a boat on water, and actually crawls around pretty well too! So far only 49,000 original miles... I couldn't be happier. -James
It has the 2.8 L GM motor in it. I have put a 2 in lift on it now. It also has a straight pipe stack coming out the side of the body and up beside the bed. I am going to add new tires to it sometime, ill try and send pics whenever i do. I am attaching pictures of before and after the lift.
It's only two wheel drive, and i want to convert it to a 4 wheel drive, its the four cylinder and a four speed, so what do you recommend doing to convert it? everyone tells me not to do it because its such a pain, but i love this truck and its in such good condition, its got two dents to get pulled, 59,000 miles, and the interior is in mint condition.
This is my 1988 Comanche. the love of my life. the original owner kept it really clean. i added a three inch lift, new cherokee wheels, tailight covers, and i have a set of 30x11.50 super swampers and i just added the brushguard. the picture on the hill was when i first got it. it was very clean before i started wheelin it but its still in good condition with a few added scratches.
My Comanche has been in our family for more than 19 years. The truck was manufactured in June 1989. My daughter purchased the truck from Casey & Akin Chevrolet - Jeep in Jackson, Tennessee on Feb. 21, 1990. The odometer reading showed 975 miles on that date, It now shows 130,670. She traded the Comanche to my son in early 1995. In August 1995 I bought the SporTruck from my son. I have owned my Comanche longer than any other vehicle, and I have no plans to sell or trade it.
My 89 Comanche is still about as original as it was in 1989. It has the original 4 cylinder 2.5 L AMC engine and 5 speed manual transmission, and looks almost as good as it did the day I purchased it. My truck has original red paint and black SporTruck stripe and it is 100% rust free. It is a short bed model with 2 wheel drive.
On May 9, 2009 my SporTruck won a first place trophy for mid size stock trucks in the
annual Strawberry Festival Auto Show in Humboldt, Tennessee. My Jeep pickup has
always been reliable and is fun to drive. When I drive my SporTruck down the road, I feel
just as important as the dudes driving huge extended cab mega trucks of today. I know
my Comanche turns more heads than their trucks do and I am able to drive by more gas
stations without stopping to fill er up.
