Barn Find 1988 Jeep Comanche! Will it Start?

I never expected to get my hands on one of these rare pickups! This is a 1988 Jeep Comanche Pioneer 4X4 Pickup with the indestructible 4.0L Inline 6 Cylinder Engine. The battery in this truck is totally dead, but after we hooked up the jumper cables it slowly started up and roared alive! Even after not been driven or running for years it still fired up on the first crank. In this video we took the ugly old racks off the truck and exterminated some pesky wasps that made homes in the truck over the years of sitting. We drove the pickup to our storage a few miles away and it ran just fine. More videos of this awesome find coming in the future! Including a wash / cleanup video, a full tour, drive and much more!

Hi Eli The car Guy, :-) ;-)
I like that tip from your Dad about the Comet on the squeaky belt. I'll share it with my son😁

[@jamesball1079]

Love these trucks, nice find

[@robganley9872]

Them Jeep AMC 4.0 engines. You can’t kill them

[@BrodieBr0]

That's a beautiful MJ! I've not seen one in that good of shape in a loooooooong time. Can't go wrong with the 4.0 either, they're tougher than some diesels...and even sound like them sometimes. haha That's one heck of a trick with the comet for the squeaky belt, never knew that one. lol Thanks for sharing!

[@shineingfox8710]

I just had a friend give me a 92 jeep comanche pioneer. It is a 4x4 5spd manual. Any tips?

For sale? I restore XJs & MJs. Need hard to find parts? Gimme a holler!
Edit,
Grille is upside down, as with a million I've seen online.

[@AnsleyBuilt]

What exactly does the comet do?

[@justinc8707]

Would you sell?

[@Eliyourcarguy]

I'm actually keeping it! Sorry, not for sale.
