Here is an original 1989 Jeep 4x4 Comanche pickup truck that's in rather good condition for its age. It's the Metric Ton 7 ft. Longbed (which was an option) with the Dana 44 rear/diff. and has a 4.0 liter engine, it's a 5 speed manual trans and 4x4 works fine. Paint on exterior is still good and I do want to feature how this truck has no rust on the frame and inside wheel wells because it still has most of the factory undercoating on it, pretty amazing for a 26 yr. old Jeep truck. I've seen many Comanche specimens before I decided on this one and they were all rusted up and not in that good shape for too much money. I try to show pictures and describe the truck best I can but always best to see a vehicle in person. If you do, you'd be pleasantly surprised how it's a very solid truck for an '89 Comanche and in its good shape, no it's not perfect but is a good specimen for full restoration if so desired, which wouldn't take very much to make it an even cooler truck or you can use it as your daily driver. For me, I'd set out to find one in good condition and not rusted up, this one was it for the price. I've enjoyed it but I've recently decided to sell it and hopefully to a person who too wants a Comanche in this condition. There is minimal rust on the truck, it means hardly and not much for a 26 yr old Jeep truck. I make mention anything of note, and as stated, the frame has none. To me, rust is a pet peeve of mine, it's one of the most important details to me on a vehicle, besides a good mechanical aspect. The only thing of rust to mention is as follows, a little started on rockers, one side a very small area started and other side just a small hole, I threw a shot of primer to protect it further. There's a few small surface chips and scratches on the truck, all of which is typical. Some rust is starting to bubble under the paint at top of one wheel well but not through. A few minor things small enough to fix easy. Inside the bed is in good shape and under the bed looks clean as well and inside the bed is good since I think it was hardly exposed, I believe a cap was on (and also, maybe a bed liner) seeing bed rails have the holes for attaching a cap. Interior is good and clean and has no dash cracks, all good shape. No headliner in and so typical for these trucks. The glass is good except for a small crack in lower left of windshield. You'll need to fix the E-brake, need a rearview mirror and a passenger window handle. I've recently replaced rear exhaust pipe and a new hood release cable. Body wise, I've described what I can and any dents of note are hardly noticeable, just small 2 minor mentions, one is more a crease dent on front left fender, the other a small dent on lower rear quarter, both hardly noticed. I really try to show what I can in pictures so you can see the inside/outside of truck. Engine runs quite good, the 5 spd. trans shifts well, the 4x4 works, all fundamentals are working well. This truck is a good find and not many can be found original and in this way. Options too, it has are the long bed 7 ft, tilt steering wheel, equipped with A/C but condenser was removed by previous owner, easy enough to get back. The bucket seats in it are not stock. One Jeep center cap is missing on a rear wheel. Tires are just like new at about 6 months old. There's a pushbutton start on the dash you just need to press when turning the key to start. Previous owner said it's just a bypass to ignition switch and has never bothered me nor does it pose any issue nor is it ever going to be. This truck looks good, the engine drives quite strong for the year and miles, really does. Be a proud owner of a Jeep Comanche which become more rare and rise in value as the years pass. The 1989 model year, AMC only made about 5100 and not all were 4x4's with the 7ft bed option. Comanche pickup trucks like these are usually beaten on and pretty rusted up and people are asking too much for them. On the other end of that, I've seen a few (on Ebay) over the years that were fixed up and restored nicely and they looked so very cool. A 4x4 stock Jeep truck that is almost 27 years old like this one in its good condition is not that common. It's a great candidate to restore and/or as a daily driver or 2nd vehicle. I've just decided it's best to sell this truck for reasons of finances and even so I do hate to part with I just will have to. That being said, I would like it sold to a good home, in that a person who wants one and who knows and appreciates cool Jeep trucks. It's also being advertised locally, so auction may end in advance. Email me with any questions, I'll be glad to answer them. Happy bidding!
