So my love for the comanche surpasses that of the cherokee. My first memory of a comanche would be in 1989 when my grandfather bought new an 89 black with red pin striping 2.5 2wd long bed. He shortly after had installed a white bed shell and a carpet kit. Growing up I was driven to school in it all the way untill highschool. It eventually made it's way into my cousins hands who attempted to convert it to 4x4 but failed and got rid of it.
Onto now..... I picked up this 89 4.0 puegoet 2wd d35 short bed with bed shell mainly for nostalgic purposes. For the next 5-6 years it will stay 2wd. The plan is to eventually build this to replace the cherokee which will be given to my step son.
So current plans are to get it running better hopefully with a full tune up. Verry sluggish to rev compared to my 2.5 and idle drops to around 500 rpm after a rev and stumbles to catch itself. Then I'd like to switch to ho cooling system. I will be pulling the d35 from my cherokee to do an ota lift in the rear and gain gearing from whatever it is now(haven't cleaned off the tag to identify gearing) to 4.10 . I will then install my coil/spacer combo on the front and adjustable lower arms that I just pulled off my xj. Then I'll throw on some shocks a track bar and a set of 31s. My eventual plans will include hpd44/9" full width with 17x9 37s, ax15 np231, long arm setup and other bits and pieces.
