1988 Jeep Comanche Pioneer
Howdy all,
Just a few questions about the 88 Jeep Comanche. 1) Overall, how would you rate it? 2) Parts, are they hard to find? 3)Maintenance, does it cost an arm and leg and is it easy to work on? Basically, if anything needs to be done, can you do it with the engine installed in the vehicle? I am sure I will have a few more as I think more about it. Thanks, Jim |

Commanche is a great vehicle. It's the same unibody 'frame', engine,
transmission, t-case and axles as the Cherokee. Super reliable pickup. Carl "cowboy67" > wrote in message oups.com... > Great thanks for the input!

I bought it the other day and so far love it! Is there any website that you all have that specializes in Jeep Comanche parts? I have looked but really could not find one that was that specific. The part I am looking for is the interior courtesy lights. Thanks again! Jim |
