[@willohwhite2372]

Agreed. I'm sure whatever they do to it will be sensible, but I'd rather see it kept stock and used as a long-term feature on the channel. There are so few examples like this left, and what makes it special is that it hasn't been "cheap Jeeped" already. I'm not even a particular fan of the MJ, but anything of that vintage that remains untouched is most valuable to the hobby as it is.

I think 2-3" lift with 31" BFG's ,white letter's out would be just perfect.Lunchbox locker in the rear.Old school Warn brush guard and 8000 winch,Sweet.

[@willohwhite2372]

I can see why you bought this, but I'm afraid it's not the best choice for a cheap jeep challenge. Doing anything to modify this truck, especially as a budget build, is approaching sacrelig. Further to that, although it's essentially an XJ, it's not a build that everyone can follow along with and feel like they've duplicated on their own because it's just too rare. With that said, Maybe while you have the transmission out, swap in a 242 transfer case. They are cheap, plentiful, and worlds ahead of the part time unit that's in there. 2" of lift, some top quality dampers, proper narrow tires (8.5-9.5" width), locking differentials and call it a day. This is one of those vehicles that really lends itself to enjoying the original condition rather than hacking it up like most of the other examples that are left.

[@MrJoshItIs]

Agree with pretty much everything you said! I don't know much about the stock transfer case, which is it? Also, maybe Detroit in the front and Tru-trac in the back would be a cheaper locker upgrade.

[@willohwhite2372]

@@MrJoshItIs I'm not sure, but I think this would have an NP231, similar to 207/208 chain shift on the fly part time with 3 drive modes. The 242 brings in the full time option which is the hot ticket for daily driving on snowy/icy roads. The only consideration is that with a full time 4wd case, you can't use a lunchbox type locker in the front, it has to be a selectable or a limited slip that will allow the diff to operate normally on asphalt while in full time (like a varilok/hydralok). If you've ever driven a full time 4wd vehicle with a front locker, engaging the front locker while in 4wd makes it impossible to steer. Any automatic locker that could engage while in full time basically makes the FT unusable. I would go so far as to swap in the NV247 which doesn't have the 2wd (I have no use for 2wd for any reason) but uses a progressive coupler in the diff during FT, making it an outstanding performer in mud and ice. It locks mechanically in 4low. Most people don't care about the FT that much though, it's just a few die-hards like me that love the FT. My first FT 4wd was my 75 440 Ramcharger which I still drive, and I'll never go back to a PT 4wd.

[@MrJoshItIs]

@@willohwhite2372 My Jeep has an ARB in front, Detroit in the rear with the NP231. When in 4wd and locking the front, it is pretty damn hard to steer unless in mud/ice, so I get the idea. When driving in iced up roads, I engage 4wd (no front locker though). I had a Sub' with AWD and that was a beauty in the ice & snow.

[@willohwhite2372]

@@MrJoshItIs that's exactly what I'm talking about! I'll bet you can probably drive over anything in front of you though, with the ARB/Detroit that thing must be like a stomper! They aren't glamorous but upgrading your diffs is probably the biggest improvement you can make.

[@stoff3r]

Lsd in the front maybe?

[@leightongoard]

How about a mild overlander? Good tires and fill the bed with some cool camping gear. And some light body armor.

[@1978JWJ]

You are still better off swapping an AX15 into it. Which should be plentiful to find. Put a 2 or 3in lift, some 31s and a decent winch and front bumper.

[@silas1409]

Exactly my thoughts ^^

[@johnpearson492]

Woohoo! A Comanche. I purchased a completely stock 88 Comanche 4x4 short bed sport truck last year in Los Angeles. It was rust free with 180,000 miles. I drove it 3,500 miles home to Pennsylvania with no big issues. It was completely rust free and perfectly awesome to drive. Mine did have the original BA-10 transmission at 180k and it shifted very well. I sold it on Bring a Trailer around Thanksgiving last year. This is a nice one, way better paint and I like the cloth interior. Mine had a surprisingly nice vinyl interior.

[@ridgewalker2416]

31” tires and enough lift to clear them and let it articulate. ARB front bumper with a receiver hitch to handle a portable winch which can be carried in the bed to add weight for better traction. Rear receiver hitch and wiring so the winch can be moved to either end. Spray on bed liner. Tool box to carry all the off-road gear and tools. E lockers front and rear. That should handle most of Moab.

[@toddrobertson1398]

[@shawnscott1254]

What a sweet find! Beautiful. I agree Roman, wouldn't do too much to it; maybe a 2-3 inch lift, would put new wheels & 31" AT tires on it, give it a wax, flip the grill around (the grill is upsidedown) and work on the transmission. Does it have the factory Dana44? I heard the Comanches received that from factory. Looking forward to seeing what you guys do with it!!

[@1RoadGarage]

I would do the same tire and lift combo as the outgoing cheap Jeep keeping the tires relatively thin but taller. Also, put a shell over the bed and get it bedlined. Go for a military look. Still stock but capable.

Wow - beautiful comanche! And a good old Renix 4.0 They're just as good if not better than the High output.

True on the Renix. Very good system. They're not that hard to work one either like most people say and want to steer from

Yep! I had a remix Comanche last year and it was great. I cleaned up the grounds and it worked perfectly. I understand swapping to newer 4 hole injectors help the renix 4.0L engines a lot. I was impressed with mine, over 20mpg driving it on Highway and very comfortable cruising at 75 mph.

[@brent0034]

Amazing find, brings me back to when I had a cheap Jeep in an 94 XJ with the I6 4.0 High output, which I did wheel and wheeled hard. Getting a find like that, 100% restore and if you plan on using it in MOAB need at least a 2" budget boost just to get it off the ground and some aggressive 31's, and add a spray in bed liner, don't forget rock sliders to protect that beautiful find.

Since there are some scratches and a little rust in the bed; why not start with a DIY U-POL Raptor bedliner (maybe tinted to match the original paint if you want to keep it looking more original). Obviously new tires, but tires will be somewhat determined by the suspension limitations being imposed. Maybe 30x9.5 or 31x10.5 in a good AT or hybrid tread pattern?

[@CollinDudley113]

[@davemiller3027]

I had the same truck years ago, swapped out the transmission to an AX15 and added a limited slip diff and new Chromeolie axles and BFG AT tires and drove it all over Southern California in the 90. We camped out of it and wheeled it all over. Great trucks! I towed back to Texas and turned it into a hunting rig and we still use it today on the ranch. 215,xxx miles later and other than required maintenance it’s only needed a new water pump, radiator, and clutch master/slave cylinder.

[@wk-2]

Hello from Poland! Make a little bit of lift, just 2" which is really cheap and easy in XJ/MJ (in the front springs from Jeep ZJ will give this amount of lift, and in the rear just add longer shackles for leaf springs). Then You can install 31" AT or MT tires. Don't reapair this Peugeot gearbox, throw it away and put AW4 automatic gearbox from XJ. It's the best gearbox for soft offroad and onroad use.

Get the AX-15 and maybe a stronger transfer case from a local junkyard. Install a bedliner, or even a bed mat so it doesn't more scuffed, and a tonneau cover. You have to take to off road so decent tires, maybe Wrangler SilentArmors, biggest ones you can fit without a lift. A good wash and wax, and be the envy of Jeep Nerds (like me) everywhere. There's something really cool about a clean, stock, old Jeep.

[@nickh4761]

[@Rskitalll]

I agree with the bed liner just got a line x and it is pretty amazing stuff. It also made the ride quieter than it already is. Also change the radio and add a CB.

[@gogmorgoaway]

Lol. You're both wrong. 6' and 7' bed. Still bigger than the little shoebox on the back of the Gladiator though, without an 11-foot wheelbase. The truck is too clean for serious off-roading, so I really appreciate you not wanting to chop it up. The rear bumpers are really tough to find in good condition, so that might be a consideration for you guys, whether you want to run around with it or not, cause I'm guessing you'll be off-road with it at least a little. There's a Westin universal one that fits alright and isn't too pricey. Jeremy's Radio Emporium if you want a reconditioned factory radio. As for the transmission, unless you're digging into it yourself, it's going to be cheaper to swap in a junkyard ax15 from an XJ than have the trans rebuilt. As you said parts aren't super common for it. You might find another ba10 in reasonable condition someone's swapping out... They're definitely not the toughest out there but they have been known to last over 200,000 miles for light duty on the street. I'm really looking forward to a stock for stock comparison. The Gladiator definitely has a lot of fancy tech, but it also weighs significantly more and the idiotic crew-cab only means it's friggen massive, and it's probably got 1000lbs on an MJ. Higher towing but not much more payload than standard but less than the metric ton package MJ, plus the tiny bed... I'm not sold on the Gladiator being a better truck, putting passengers ahead of cargo.

Great performance (gas mileage not so much) but it was still running well with original engine and trans at 185,000 miles and I expected to get many more out of it. Great little truck. If it was me I would probably put lockers on at least the rear to help traction since it is light.

I have an 06' TJ, and I had one of in 87 of one of those! Right up my alley, guys.

3" lift , 32-33" tires , bumpers, and a spare in the back. That thing is gorgeous!

Wonderful choice on the Commanche! If even just to spruce up and flip. I've always liked them very much, but I think the consensus is that the drive train options are kinda limited for serious offroading when you don't do swap jobs on the axles, tcase, drive shafts, etc. But I've always suspected they are quite good and fun for anything else. Can't wait for the next video! Great show as usual guys!

Great find! Refresh the suspension, tires, rhino line the bed, maybe some roof lights, definitely replace tranny. New radio and call it good!

I had a 1992 Comanche Eliminator 4x4 5 spd,about 5 years ago. super fun truck.

There was a military version of the Scrambler. I'm sure there are some still around but the only place I've ever seen them was on a Marine amphibious base when I was a kid. That thing was a go anywhere do anything Ox. They rarely went to government auctiosn because the Marine Mechanics would buy them.

It has some fried syncros, and I started to rebuild it, but I never finished it. Bit if you're going to get new parts for that transmission. Then maybe you could make this one work. I live outside of Raleigh NC

I got a long bed, Im doing spring over axle, napier fender flares, about 6 inch lift in the front, Iron Rock Offroad long arms, have 4.10 gears, getting 33s, JCR front winch and JCR rear. Once Scar Fab makes frame stiffeners Ill get a set and sliders. For mild, theres not many choices of lift, Id do hell creek suspensions rear springs and metal cloak tj springs and whatever spacer to make it level, 31s, tow hooks. Think for rear springs you have the choice of Rustys offroad, Zone, Hell creek and General Springs. Or spring over axle will get you about 6 inches.

Hey TFL, Congrats on a great project and series of videos! Really well thought out and executed. More to come?

Add a small lift. Maybe a 245/75/16 back county open range tire. I'm in Oregon we just had a historic record amount of snow. My Mazda Tribute did amazingly with them 19 inches of snow no problem on the valley floor.

Awesome find Tommy! I haven’t seen a Jeep Comanche in years. Can’t wait to see what you guys are going to do with it as far as upgrades.
