Supercharged Jeep Comanche on 2040-cars
Olympia, Washington, United States
|
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. SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS ON THE BUILD.

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 bringing Renegade Hard Steel with adorable matching trailer to Geneva
Sun, Mar 1 2015Trailers are hardly an uncommon site. They can, after all, be an effective way of adding cargo capacity when you need to haul more than you can fit in your car and truck. But there's something that just gets us about trailers made to match the vehicle behind which they're being towed. Like this one, attached to this unique Jeep Renegade. Set to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show mere days from now, the Renegade Hard Steel concept is a joint effort between various elements of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles group, including Jeep, Mopar and the FCA Style Centre. It's based on the Trailhawk off-road model, but is distinguished by its unique metallic finish, offset by matte black trim and a full raft of available and custom Mopar accessories. Though Jeep has yet to show us what it looks like inside, it's said to have a specially coated leather finish. And of course there's that trailer. Designed to mimic the Renegade's rear-end styling, the appendage will be used on the floor of the Geneva Palexpo to showcase the vehicle's Uconnect Live infotainment system through an oversized pop-up touchscreen display that mirrors the new 5- or 6.5-inch display that'll soon be available on the littlest of Jeeps, offering streaming content including music, news, social media and traffic conditions. We have no indication that a similar trailer could be going into production (minus, of course, the infotainment stuff), but it's worth noting that Jeep has indeed done something similar before. Feel free to read more in the press release, below. Related Video: 27 February 2015 Renegade Hard Steel Jeep Showcar The Renegade Hard Steel Jeep showcar, which blends style, off-road vocation, and technology, will be making its debut and the 2015 Geneva International Motor Show. Created by the Jeep brand, in collaboration with the Mopar brand and backed by the FCA Style Centre, the showcar "explores" the potential of a model that provides countless customization options, while also providing an outlook for potential future Mopar accessories dedicated to the new Renegade. Based on the Trailhawk - the off-road version of the range - the prototype is not a simple customisation in aftermarket but a design project that, with due respect to the peculiarities of original models, has led us to the creation of a unique and fascinating article.
Jeep teases pair of Moab concepts early
Tue, 19 Mar 2013With the 47th annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari coming up at the end of this month, Jeep is preparing to roll out six new off-road-ready concept vehicles. The first two being teased are the Jeep Grand Cherokee "Trailhawk II" concept and the Jeep Wrangler "Slim," and while we have no information on either, we at least get an idea of what they'll look like.
We can't tell why this Wrangler is called Slim, but it has a nice black-and-red paint scheme with a serious off-roading front bumper and five-spoke beadlock wheels. There's even less we can figure out about the Grand Cherokee's Trailhawk II concept except that it appears to be painted up in the same Crusher Orange paint job as the recently introduced SRT Viper TA. We'll likely more of these as well as peeks at the other Moab concepts as we get closet to this year's Moab Easter Jeep Safari, which will be held March 23 through 31.
