1989 JEEP COMANCHE with 2000 Jeep Cherokee swap and Sprintex supercharger.

I have spent the last 8-years and over $20k in parts not including labor and purchase price of the Jeep to build what you currently see. Everything is swapped correctly (no hack and splice). Full Cherokee harness swapped and OBD2 fully functional as well as airbags and other power options (AC, cruise control, power mirrors, gauges, etc).

Started with a clean rust free 1989 Comanche pioneer and tore it down to just a cab and frame. Then swapped everything from a 2000 donor Cherokee. The 2000 Cherokee motor is a coil on plug version and had 41,453 miles on it when I did the swap. Because the donor Cherokee cluster had idiot lights instead of gauges I had to purchase a junkyard cluster with gauges that started at 117,800 miles. The cluster now shows 145,949 (and rising as I daily drive this). So actual millage on the engine and transmission are about 70k miles. The current suspension and axles were swapped in about 2 years ago and the super charger kit was installed in February of this year. Everything functions as designed and runs as reliable as a stock 2000 Cherokee.

WHAT IT NEEDS

TECHNICALLY DOESN'T NEED ANYTHING TO BE ENJOYED AS I CURRENTLY DAILY DRIVE THIS.

BUT FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN WHEELING IT, IT COULD USE A FINISHED REAR BUMPER (THE CURRENT STEEL IN BACK IS A STARTING POINT BUT NOT FINISHED)

IT COULD ALSO USE SOME ROCK SLIDERS FOR PROTECTION OF THE ROCKERS.

THE SUPERCHARGER IS RUNNING ON MY BASE TUNE (RUNS GREAT) BUT COULD PROBABLY SEE AN INCREASE IN MPG AND POWER IF DYNO TUNED (CURRENTLY GET 11.5 TO 13.2 MPG DEPENDING ON DRIVE STYLE)

ALSO HAD TO SWAP TO A FIRST GEN CHEROKEE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR (RES ONLY NOT PUMP) TO CLEAR THE SUPERCHARGER. THE RES SEEPS A BIT (HAD PLANS TO GO PSC HYDRO ASSIST STEERING BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT) OR A RESERVOIR FROM A 99-04 GRAND CHEROKEE COULD WORK.

THAT'S ABOUT IT. DRIVES DOWN THE FREEWAY GREAT. NO BUMP STEER OR DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE HAD IT UP TO 95 MPH BUT THE RPM'S GET A LITTLE HIGH AT THAT POINT. YES I HAVE WHEELED IT, BUT NOT ABUSED. OVERBUILT IT FOR MY LEVEL OF WHEELING.

Jeep: 4x4ever

Mon, Feb 8 2016

Jeep is turning 75 this year, and it seems like the star of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles brand stable has been making cool ads that run during the Super Bowl almost as long. (Yes, we know this was Super Bowl 50. We're exaggerating.) In this spot, all kinds of active sports and nature stuff that Jeep owners do (or least like other to think they do) is shown with every kind of Jeep, old and new. Here's to another 75 years.

Jeep launches new ad with unreleased Michael Jackson track

Fri, 09 May 2014

We've recently heard much about how Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne plans to pump up the volume on Jeep sales, inaugurating new models and global dealerships. But that's the stuff outlined in five-year plans; right now, advertising and special editions are at the fore, and the late Michael Jackson, too. Jeep has begun airing two commercials to push its Altitude Editions, Call of Summer and Lovers of the Game, that feature the song "Love Never Felt So Good" from Jackson's upcoming album of new music.
A little more star power - and timely, too - comes from Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving. While Call of Summer features a few short shots of the former Rookie of the Year and two-time NBA All-Star, Lovers of the Game is all about his white Wrangler Altitude Edition and wrangling shots. You can watch both spots below, and if you want to hear the rest of the music track before the album hits, you can download it from iTunes.
