Really nice work! I love Comanche's! I think it was the best small domestic 4x4 truck of the day. In the mid 90's I worked in a Jeep dealership down the street from Chryslers Jeep and Truck engineering facility. I acquired enough to help my brother convert his I4 2wd into a 4x4. I loved doing stuff like that! At one point, after Comanche production ceased, Chrysler found 5 Comanches that were tucked away at that facility (probably last year of production, 90? 91?) and offered them up to our dealer to sell as new... this was probably 95ish. Wish I had the money to buy one then.

Good stuff. Whats up with the duck? Is this a tradition of some kind? Why not keep te bedtop just in case?

[@Vintage4x4s_and_StreetRods]

@@dominikborowski, the duck is a Jeep Wrangler owner trend. I still have the bed cover, it just won’t fit with the rollbar.
