Project: "Sipsey"-- '88 Comanche

[8valvehero]

Hey gang.
I went down to Washougal (near Vancouver, WA) the other day and picked up a '88 Jeep Comanche Pioneer for $700. It's rough, but I'm super stoked to have it as a project. Eventually I plan to DD it and use it for camping.
Eventually I'm hoping to pick up a 97+ XJ Cherokee donor and swap about as much as I can from it in to the MJ.
Here's the link to my build thread over at Comanche Club:

I'm new to Skagit county so I would appreciate any available comradery.
Thanks for reading and CHEERS!

Nice find. I'm not a Jeep guy but I always liked the comaches. Keep us posted. BTW, keep an eye on the Walker Valley forum, it's local and there's runs up there all the time.

I'm not a Jeep guy but I always liked the comanches.

I hear this a lot. Maybe because they're reminiscent of Rangers/S-10s of the same period.

Hey!
I've got to bring this thing somewhere local to get my new perches welded on and pinion set.
Anyone have a suggestion for a place to go? or does anyone want to get paid to do it?
I can't seem to find a local fab shop in the Skagit/Whatcom area.
Help!
