Drew's 1989 Jeep Comanche (MJ)
I bought this truck last fall to replace my beat up Cherokee , and it has been an addiction ever since. Originally I was just going to get another XJ and swap everything over, but then I ran across this MJ for $500 and couldn't turn it down. I had wanted one of these for years, and the excitment led to some very quick modding!!!
