That Comanche is looking good. I did not have the proper respect for these pickups back in the day but I do now. I preferred the old J series at the time. Rust runs rampant in all old Jeeps. My parents bought a 76 SJ and by 82 it was bad, in 84 I stepped through the rear floor pan. So when they bought the 86 XJ its first destination was Ziebart. Whatever they used for undercoating worked. When my parents got rid of that jeep in 93 it had surface rust on all the normal places under a car you would expect but the floor pans work honestly spotless. There were spots on the body panels that were starting to rust but not underneath.
Growing up in Columbus where we had less snow, it’s no surprise almost all old Comanches that are still rolling had Ziebart protection. Nice ride. I’ve always wanted one.
Great Job,,,My only suggestion is to replace that steering wheel with a tri spoke jeep wheel. Black would be good, they do make a tan wheel and even a wooden wheel would make the interior completly pop,,,but great job with the interior restore
What a great restoration project. These old MJ's are truly going scarce. its nice to see someone bring one back to life. i have one too that i wanted to rebuild and restore but because of title issues it may not workout for me. if all goes well I will keep the carcass and drivetrain and hopefully get another that i can save.
You did a great job restoring that Jeep Comanche. IDefinitely a rare truck. picked up a few pointers/ideas watching your video. I am restoring a 1985 Jeep J10 long bed. Mine does not have the rust problem. It does need to be repainted and has some surface rust on the bed and installation of the rebuilt 258 engine with Howell EFI. I will be watching Part 3 of your restoration.
Excelente restauración, lo particular es que fue realizada de una que cualquiera puede hacerlo, bajo presupuesto, en etapa, me gustó, aunque la ventaja es que en ciertos países las refacciones originales están a la disposición, en el caso de Venezuela, nos costaría un poco más pero no es imposible, buen trabajo!!!, Saludos desde Mérida Venezuela
Terrific video(s)! I just re-purchased my dads 1989 Jeep Comanche (coworker sold it back to me after 7 years). It's in relatively good shape but, due to age, it seems much like yours. The interior smells musty, definitely some moisture inside. After seeing your interior make over, I guess I'll tackle that too! I'm very much a DIY person, Build, fix and repair most things inside and out, but I've never been a "car guy". Can you rate level of difficulty for this interior make over? Scale 1-10, easy to hard? Starting AFTER the floor hole repairs because I'd hire that part out too. Thanks!!!
July 7, 1987 is the day I bought My Comanche ❤️ First clutch went 134,000. ... It still runs 👍 Original starter lasted until 2016. Still has original Peugeot transmission. Dealer installed AC died decades ago, thanks to a crooked Dealer mechanic shop 1989. 🙄 I can name most eVeRytHiNg that's been replaced since 1987. I joke, "like 4 of everything". 4.0 inline 6 cooling system is a hassle, runs hot because the engine over torques, cracking the exhaust manifold. That happened like before 70,000, 1989. Exhaust manifold has been replaced TWICE. 3 of the fuel injectors are original, 3 replaced 2007. I could list a book of memories via My Comanche. It's on My list to figure out how to update, & clean it up. It's difficult to locate a Mechanic that will do the work, that I trust .. AND come up with the cash. So, I basically do what has to be done & park it except for hay & truck stuff. My Jeep floor has less holes than this truck here, but so helpful to watch the process. 👍 Wish I'd win a rebuild, repaint via a television Auto show. 🤣 The idea of walking in seeing My Comanche all fixed up tears Me up to imagine it. ❤️ Is a love/hate relationship via that Jeep... 😂
Great story. I believe you do have many memories with your truck. That's great you've kept it. It doesn't sound like it's hurting you to keep it. Especially if you don't have everything rusted out from the roof to the road! Fix it now. It's paid for itself and even saved up for the restoration money for you. You can't replace it with anything new. When they start falling apart they fall hard and hit with a dull thud.
@@jollyjeepertheglen9697 Thank You & Yes, it's paid for itself... Original price new was just over $11,000. I still have the original sales brochure... It was My first new vehicle. And YES, I prefer older simpler vehicles. 👍
I dad bought a 86 Comanche new, the sad thing was it was a michigan car. The damn thing is soo Rusty and the thing finally gave up after 33 years and now he might have to scrap it due to a mixture of rust, engine complications (the mechanics and us don't know what's wrong with it) and money. :( love that thing to death
Those floors look like mine! I have an 88 with a 00 engine and AX15 mated to the truck with a 96 master and slave. It’s a peppy 2wd short bed. I’ve been scanning for interior parts, can you post some links? Thanks!
i know this is old. but if you search the comanche forum. there is a user who makes them. they do group buys every once in a while. or they use to anyways.
Hi, I have 1988 Comanche and my bench seat is in the bad shape, where did you get re-Upholstered it and how much ? Love your interior color my is grey and not color pop like yours.
I’ve been thinking about buying a Comanche but most of them are in really bad shape. One reason I haven’t pulled the trigger is because I can’t find a good source for parts. Have you found any good suppliers?
Where did your comanche floor mats? I have an 88 cherokee xj and the interior color that looks that same as in the video (I'm realizing "tan" is not the same "tan" that was used post 80s in xjs). I'm trying to find mats since mine didn't come with any.
My 98 Cherokee 2 door needs a new headliner, oem floor mats, and weather stripping. Can you link those parts? I’ve been unable to find those parts personally
That’s amazing man, thank you for saving this Comanche and returning it to its former glory.
Tanned interior looks so nice, great build
4/20/87
15 more days until it's 32nd birthday
Also nice
I’m in northeastern Ohio as well and I just bought a 1987 Comanche short bed and I love it! Been watching your videos!
Your videos are always such high quality. You deserve more subscribers. Keep up the good work.
I agree
Nice ,I'm own 87 jeep comanche pioneer 86,000 miles . I started rebuild witch coming out very nice .

Absolutely love the Comanche dude. The floors on my XJ were waaaay worse.
Growing up in Columbus where we had less snow, it’s no surprise almost all old Comanches that are still rolling had Ziebart protection. Nice ride. I’ve always wanted one.
Reminds me of my 1984 4 door jeep cherokee with the 2.5 inline 4cyl. Miss that jeep. Still wish I had it.
Subbed for the manche, I have a all black 87 myself, I need floors just as bad as you did.
Great Job,,,My only suggestion is to replace that steering wheel with a tri spoke jeep wheel. Black would be good, they do make a tan wheel and even a wooden wheel would make the interior completly pop,,,but great job with the interior restore

It was satisfying watching the quality work!
wow u killed this
Good job! Interior looks brand new
I have yet to get a comanche but I have had a bunch of XJ's. That floor isnt the worst I have seen hahha. Gotta love Ohio rust.
Nice truck & vid. It would be nice if you include pricing on these things in your video, that is helpful for others.
You're making me miss my Comanche's bad...
I’d love to find one of these to go with all my other jeeps, my j series trucks are crazy rusty minus the one I drive

Such a nice truck! Beautiful colour too, the white with tan interior is my favourite

I had an 89 with a 4.0 and a 5 speed. I sure miss it
Looks great!

That rust in the floor is not bad at ALL for that age of Jeeps
Awesome job!

Freaking love it!
Nice video bro! Keep going with your project. Regards from Mexico
Can you please post a link on where you find your parts????
Looked like it was Fred Flintstone's truck.
Thanks for your videos I really enjoy them, I have an 89 Comanche can you please tell me where you got the replacement seat belts.
I have an 88' Comanche that needs some work, where do you get your parts?
Did you ever mention about the place in Canada that makes the lovers for the comanche...I might want to get them for my Comanche
Great video! It’s helped me a lot.
Where did you buy the carpet and ceiling?
Where did you get the new parts from and great work on it.
GR8 transformation, what about the por 15 on the underside, especially the new panels?
I want to see more lol
3:15 Oh my.....
Who worked on your seats I need mine done
Better POR 15 the underside of the floor also.
Great restoration where could a fella find the metal floor mats ?

:( love that thing to death
Did you use glue to install the carpet, I heard that some do and some don’t? I honestly don’t know what I should do for my carpet installation
dont be afraid to drive on salty roads, just make sure your car has a propper OIL BASED undercoat apply it once a year

Do you guys think a Comanche would be a good first truck
where did you get the headliner?
Wait where did you get a replacement headliner...? I've got a Comanche that needs one.
yea man, me too
Did you guys figure out your headliner problem?
I need one also.
I have a video I did recently, rusty Comanche floor board.
Where did you find that headliner?? Please lmk
Dude you need to post a list of parts and where you got them. I would be very grateful as I am going to tackle this on my Comanche this summer.
❤❤❤
Where did you get a headliner because I couldn’t find one for nothing
i know this is old. but if you search the comanche forum. there is a user who makes them. they do group buys every once in a while. or they use to anyways.
@neo auto where did you find a headliner bro!? They’re impossible to find online
Where did you get the new weather stripping ?
Is that a Spor Truck?
Hi, I have 1988 Comanche and my bench seat is in the bad shape, where did you get re-Upholstered it and how much ? Love your interior color my is grey and not color pop like yours.
I’ve been thinking about buying a Comanche but most of them are in really bad shape. One reason I haven’t pulled the trigger is because I can’t find a good source for parts. Have you found any good suppliers?
Where did you get the front end parts and the weather stripping?
Where did your comanche floor mats? I have an 88 cherokee xj and the interior color that looks that same as in the video (I'm realizing "tan" is not the same "tan" that was used post 80s in xjs). I'm trying to find mats since mine didn't come with any.
Great job on the interior! Are you planning on a 4WD conversion for your Commanche?
Was the seat foam replaced? I want my 87 xj seats redone but they don't make foam so I guess they'd have to do custom?
Also, about how much did you pay for the seat reupholster
Those floorboards needed to be cut out and replaced with new metal, a coat of paint is useless when the base metal is already rotten. Just do it right
Hello! Where did you get the new rearview mirror? also where did you order the Custom Carpeted Mats?
Can you find the dome lights anywhere?
You should have just put new metal in the floor board
Is that the four wheel drive version of two wheel ?
How is the replacement mirror holding up mine keeps falling off
My 98 Cherokee 2 door needs a new headliner, oem floor mats, and weather stripping. Can you link those parts? I’ve been unable to find those parts personally
Where did you get the headliner and the fitted floor mats? Ive got a red 89 im restoring
I am restoring my 87. Where did you get that headliner?
What color did you choose for the carpet?
Where did u find the headliner can’t find one anywhere
A little late, but where do you find the headliner?
Carpet. It’s called carpet.
Hey how much did it cost for someone to patch up ur floor
Where did you get the custom mats
Show down part
How has the sound matting worked for you?
Where can I get after-market parts for a Comanche
