Comanche? Pick up?

same as an xj
 
Unless he was referring to the Jeep Comanche Custom, which was only offered in 1986.

:dunno:
 
He said "on here" so I assume he means modified one's...

I tailed a comanche through a parking lot just to follow it today, only because I would gladly sell most of my possessions for one! It was in okay shape, with no turn lights apparently... and it was the same color as my XJ!

Ah I want one so bad...

Great vehicle, exact same as a XJ from the rear of the cab foreward.

A comanche is basically the Ranchero ( or El Camino for you Sh!t-by guys) Falcon (or chevelle) with a truck bed. MJ is an XJ with a truck bed.

And what the heck is that last sentence about?

That's funny - I don't trust a Ford I didn't build...

The oddest "pickup" variation I've seen? A body man who had taken a Jag XK12 and chopped the back. Did it up like an ElCo/Ranchero. One of the strangest things I've ever seen - and that's going some!

(Honda 600 shortened 18" and removable hardtop for a runabout. Guy had a Greyhound bus he'd converted into an RV. Stowed the runabout in the centre luggage compartment.

(Yugo GV made into a lowrider - full graphics, tinted windows, actually a decent and well-balanced stereo setup. But, it's a Yugo - polish a turd, it's still a turd!

(Motorcycle for a guy in a wheelchair. Had a flatbed sidecar arrangement, and a bellcrank linkage for the handlebars. Moved the controls over as well, and made hand controls for the feet pedals. Did rather a decent job - I ended up talking to him at length about it!)

How well did the body stand up to the stereo?
I've heard horror stories about how weak the metal was.

Had a blue one that ran around here when I was young, sounds like the same set up.
 
Soooooo to answer the doods question, the Comanche, commonly referred to aas an "MJ", to follow the Jeep vernacular, was a production vehicle made to try and fill a market demand. It is almost identical to a cherokee except for the body design. Same engines, transmissions, most interiors, all that. from the seats- back is a bed. Thats about it.
 
from the front doors forward is virtually identical....floor pans are totally different so the seats are not "bolt-in" but can be modded to fit as i did...the MJ is SUA as the XJ is SOA and the "frame" on an MJ has more reinforments than and XJ does
