Commanche is a great vehicle. It's the same unibody 'frame', engine,
transmission, t-case and axles as the Cherokee. Super reliable pickup.

Thanks for the input. I bought it the other day and so far love it! Is
there any website that you all have that specializes in Jeep Comanche
parts? I have looked but really could not find one that was that
specific. The part I am looking for is the interior courtesy lights.

Thanks again! Jim
