"Awesome little 4X4"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Starter, alternator, slave cylinder, master cylinder, AC, rear axles, ball joints, stabilizer bars, all of which are the result of serious 4 wheeling.

General comments?

Will go literally anywhere.

Has never left me "stranded".

Parts wear out... replace them and it'll last forever.

I too own a 1986 Comanche X and getting stranded seems a complete impossibility.

I also own an 86 Comanche and personally I love it. Mine is mostly stock with the exception of tires and I have only been stuck a few times. It is a great vehicle.

I own an 86 Comanche 4x4 and it has been a great running truck. It's a little low on power with only a 2.5 liter throttle body injection to propel it, but I'm in 4 low most of the time anyway. I only had the clutch master cylinder go out and also the rearend went out because I was powerbraking and getting a lot of wheel hop while doing so.. heck I'm surprised it held up as long as it did. The Comanche is an awesome machine.

I have 3 MJ's, and they are all damn reliable.

One has a 2.8, is fully restored, and is prepped for a 4.3 swap... another has a 4.0, and is off to paint, and my personal favorite, the Renault 2.1 turbo diesel... which will be the next restore project... up to 37 mpg.

I love these trucks, and though I restore them with minor lifts and don't 4 wheel them, I will be buying another to make an outrageous off-roader.

If anyone knows about a solid one, email me @ snow_freak20@hotmail.com.
