Last Saturday, I sold my 90 longbed Comanche as I thought it was in too nice of shape to tear apart for a 97+ Cherokee front end conversion.

Today i left Pittsburgh at 445am to head over to York, PA to look at a short bed to replace it with. A quick inspection and then 2 hours of waiting at uhaul (as apparently only specific people can hook up a dolly to a trailer) I was heading back to Pittsburgh. It’s body is a bit rough but very little to no that and a lot of the mechanical has been gone over. Plans are to slowly build it into a mild offroader.

1992, 4.0L, rwd , 5sp ~230k

NIce! Drove cross-country in one of these, also white, short bed, 4.0, 5 speed. It was an earlier one but they’re all more or less the same. These are cool little trucks.

Nice! And an 8-slot grille, what dark magic is this?

(Yes, I’m kidding.)

Great find. I need some of your luck to find a manual XJ.

Also, nice score for the short bed. I always wanted a Comanche.

It does! And the gladiator got 14 MPG on the way home towing it, which was better than expected.

Thats an awesome Instagram account, thank you!

And yes, the longbed was too nice to tear apart so luckily found this one. If you really want one, start looking sooner! They are getting harder and hard to find

Somewhere in auburn hills in some marketing/product planning office a person shed a tear for this new / old jeep truck combo.
