Sexy + Tough = Jeep Comanche on 2040-cars

Now you can own the LEGEND, the Sexy, Tough JEEP COMANCHE.  They are so rare that you will have the only one of these classics in town!

*1987 Jeep Comanche*

The Jeep Comanche was manufactured only 7 years from 1986 to 1992.  It is the heavy duty truck version of the Jeep Cherokee and this one is a rare “classic”.  It is a tough, high clearance vehicle that gets great mileage.

I purchased her in March 1999 to fix up for my son and worked on her from 1999 through 2012 as I could.   I registered her for road use in June 2012.  I’ve just now got her totally renovated and repaired as close to new condition as possible, but must sell her.

This Comanche is the straight 4 cylinder (150 Cubic Inch) standard bed with 2 wheel drive.

Wikipedia reveals that this vehicle was the first to use the new “Unibody” construction that is so widespread today because of the stability and durability.  Jeep named the frame for the Comanche as the “Uniframe”.  The frame is over 8” deep.  That is much deeper than conventional mid-size truck frames.  This was the first Jeep to use the new “Quadra-Link” suspension on the front end which gives greater ride comfort and axle articulation when off-road.  The Comanche has the longer leaf springs on back which gives better load carrying capacity than the Cherokee without creating a hard ride.  It has the Aisin AX=4 (four speed) standard transmission and gets 25 miles per gallon on the highway.

Listed below are the costs of the renovations done to date.  I just got her out of the body shop as the final step in the renovation and have only driven her +-200 miles since I’ve had her.  Everything is brand new.
