I had one of those, great little truck that I inherited from my father. Sadly it was totaled by an old man in a minivan. I replaced it with a year old Cherokee that had about 23,000 miles on it. It's twenty years and about 600,000 miles later and I still have the Cherokee.
@@elijahjohnson5872 It's doing fine. My daily driver was in the shop for a week and I drove the old Jeep back and forth to work, (100 miles a day) no problem. A couple of weeks ago I took it on a little road trip, drove it about 300 miles that day, longest drive in one day since driving it Illinois and Michigan in 2015. In the spring I'm planning on taking it on a drive around North Carolina's Outer Banks, one thing I've never done in it.
@@oof4dayz It's a 96. The engine was replace with an excellent rebuilt one about 300k ago (and I've been a LOT more careful about oil changes since). Transmission is original and it's on it's third clutch.
@@JeffDeWitt That is awesome, I have a 2000 Cherokee Classic with 4x4, it has the Toyota-made AW4 transmission and the straight 6, both original but mine still only has 135k miles on it.
Awesome, that's a rare one , at least in Michigan. It's been a few years since I seen a Comanche have a 98 zj,318 super clean southern wagon brought back to Detroit 5 years ago.. you don't get rid of old school jeeps..
@@SnacksDeCarGuy I'll check out your channel. Should upload the Comanche Cool. Had a 2000 xj,sold to the neighbor. Still running, Swiss cheese. But running
thanks for taking the time and upoading, nostalgia and all it's interestimg to see the factory recommendations even when sad lackluster or overly dealer oriented, haha.
The world made more sense then. At least in the US. Business was business, Christmas was Christmas, music was music. School was school. Now everything is some sort of trick or scam.
really ? i think its tiny, it need a 2 door and longer bed... the small bed is pathetic.. i never understood why people have short bed trucks and cant even put wood in without it hanging out
An oil can in 1989? Either that was old footage or they were using up old stock, because the industry had almost entirely switched to plastic bottles by the late '80s.
Could be. The "Before you turn the key" chrysler video also showed an oil can. I don't think I've ever seen an oil can in person. Well one that still had oil in it anyway.
My brothers Comanche has been customized for rock crawling and it can go mudding but man does it overheat quickly. And when it does it's probably 110 to 140 degrees in the cab and about 240 plus in the engine. And yes it has a working fan and I'm pretty sure the radiator works good as well.
I still have my 87 Comanche. Its a shame Jeep doesn't come out with a modern Comanche, but not based on the new Cherokee model that looks like a soccer mom car.
Hello, good evening, I am looking for the video guide for the 1988 Jeep Wagoneer Limited with the 4.0 liter inline 6. By chance they have it and if they published it or where I can find it. Thank you

How is the jeep now?

What year is it? That is awesome! Does that Cherokee still have the original motor and transmission?

@jason9022 awful
My dad bought a 1992 Grand Cherokee new from the dealer. I watched the instructional video over 1,000 times as a little kid. This is a throwback! Lol!
I wish the latest truck from Jeep would return like this, not Wrangler based.
Imagine if they started selling XJs and MJs again, they’d make a fortune
Cool nostalgia . I own an ‘89 Comanche 4.0 AX15 4x4 shortbed . Two ‘92 Wranglers 4.0 AX15 and a ‘92 Cherokee Laredo 4.0 AW4 . I love my Jeeps
Jeep was never the same ever since the Comanche stopped being produced and the grand Cherokee came along.
I mean that in a negative way.
@@michaelkuzmadutton7879the early ZJ was special
Just bought a 1992 Comanche and stumbed upon this video! it was very informative.
Awesome, that's a rare one , at least in Michigan. It's been a few years since I seen a Comanche
have a 98 zj,318 super clean southern wagon brought back to Detroit 5 years ago.. you don't get rid of old school jeeps..
@@MacGregor. definitely, I love this thing and ever since my first car, a 2000 xj, I have loved old jeeps.
@@SnacksDeCarGuy I'll check out your channel. Should upload the Comanche
Cool. Had a 2000 xj,sold to the neighbor. Still running, Swiss cheese. But running
@@MacGregor. thanks! I’m trying to make a vlog channel about my progress with it. Gonna do some tie rods soon.
I'm glad i watched this, i could've accidentally voided my 1989 MJ's warranty!
I wish I could still buy a new Jeep Comanche!
I love my 89 comanche! 165k and she runs like a champ, and soon itll be on 4.10 gearing :)
JEEP una excelente marca. 👌
This is the best. Just picking up a Comanche in a couple weeks and this is an awesome video to watch
Awesome. Look at the old can of oil at 6:08! Surprised the actor didn't have the spout that punctures the can to go with it.
Fantastic! I have a yj mj and xj The wagoneer looks ancient even when new.
well its fro mthe 60s man.. longest produced vehicle in the country ever just about
Thanks Lee. A leader he was.
thanks for taking the time and upoading, nostalgia and all it's interestimg to see the factory recommendations even when sad lackluster or overly dealer oriented, haha.
I want that chrome bumper off the Cherokee in this.
I wish i had experienced the 80s
same.. I must have missed something
The world made more sense then. At least in the US. Business was business, Christmas was Christmas, music was music. School was school. Now everything is some sort of trick or scam.
I think that the only thing I could ask/request from Jeep, is that they bring back the Comache. The gladiator is simply too big.
really ? i think its tiny, it need a 2 door and longer bed... the small bed is pathetic.. i never understood why people have short bed trucks and cant even put wood in without it hanging out
Love these old videos. Espeically the ads lol
I didn't know Freddy Mercury was a mechanic. Lol
Nate Kelly Yes! I thought the same thing.
Right!? XD
That Wagoneer though...

Make Jeeps Great Again :,(
I love watching these operating tips for cars. But I can’t seem to find ones for Honda. I remember watching my mom’s odyssey dvd back then.
i love this video
2:10 Freddie Mercury worked in Jeeps maintenance department in the 80s.
Pitty that Chrisler don't do Commanches. This 87 was beautiful.
Notice the beautiful AMC name still on the water bottle?!
this is so awesome.
How awesome is this?! Thanks for the upload! :)
Beautiful!!!!🙌
Lay down sally playing on the radio. Nice.
I still have my 87 Comanche. Its a shame Jeep doesn't come out with a modern Comanche, but not based on the new Cherokee model that looks like a soccer mom car.
