WHEN I was 17, I stumbled across a "streetcomanche" completely destroyed in a junkyard. I knew I had to have one, sure enough 6 months later, I found one in Sacramento for $1500 bux. STOKED. That became not only my pride and joy, but it was the one included in all those awesome high school memories. It was a Red streetcomanche #54 of 100. For those of you who don’t know, the "streetcomanche" was a dealer promotion item in California. Archer Brothers Racing made a body kit for the trucks, and all trucks were equipped the same…Red on Black, 2wd base model with the 4.0 inline six and a 5-spd peugot trans. Over the years this truck assumed many different looks, I have purchased and sold it many times and I still own it today.

2001 – Purchased truck in stock form for $1,500 in Sacramento, Ca…painted primer grey

2003 – Sold truck primer grey to co-worker for $1,000, needed money.

2003 – Purchased truck back from guy for $1,000…he wasn’t into it and I wanted it back. I had the truck painted a greenish/greyish color (on accident, but it looked cool), lowered it and threw some 18" rims on it. I also installed a bitchin stereo system and did some performance upgrades.

2005 – Sold truck to roommate for $2,000…Needed money and he really liked the truck. During his ownership, it got stolen and was later recovered…abandoned having been crashed through a fence, down a hill bouncing off a couple trees and smashed into the side of a house. Done for? No way

2005 – Purchased truck back from ex-roommate for $100; a $250 pick and pull trip later (on one of their ½ off everything sales) plus $300 bux misc parts and a frame pull, she was on the road again J Returned to stock suspension, purchased new OEM rear bumper, had truck painted "Polar White" and scored some ’05 wrangler rubican wheels for it.

2007 – Traded truck to co-worker for his chevy 4x4, straight across. I needed money again, and could sell his 4x4 in the winter easier than the 2wd MJ, and I did sell it for $2500 bux.

2008 – X-mas day, ran into guy who I traded it to. He wanted it gone…reverse went out on trans, windshield cracked and dent in right bedside. I had cash on hand, $200 bux and I drove it home, complete with all my stereo, performance upgrades, wheels (with still new snow tires) and an extra set of wheels he got for it…merry x-mas to me J Unfortunately, they day after I got it home, I tore the motor out of it to put in a cherokee I needed to get running so I could sell, so it is currently sitting dead in my garage. Exploring my options…not gonna sell it again though.
