This 1989 Jeep Comanche Pioneer RestoMod built and offered for sale by Hazard Buildz in Logan, Utah represents one of the most thoroughly executed MJ builds on the market today. Starting with a rust-free Comanche and completed as a full nut-and-bolt restoration, this short-bed pickup has approximately 2,000 miles since completion and features a Corvette-sourced LS V8, a brand-new 5-speed manual transmission, modern Jeep axles with electronic lockers, Wilwood big brakes, a 97+ Cherokee facelift and interior, and BMW Austin Yellow paint.
  • An MJ, perfected: The Jeep Comanche (MJ) was produced from 1986 to 1992 and has become one of the most sought-after vintage Jeep platforms due to its unibody strength, solid-axle capability, and limited production numbers. This example began as a clean, low-mileage, rust-free 1989 Comanche Pioneer and was rebuilt by Hazard Buildz as a personal shop vehicle, with only the cab shell, bed, tailgate, washer bottle, and a few interior panels remaining from the original truck.
  • Modern V8 motivation: Power comes from a Corvette-sourced 5.7L LS V8 paired to a brand-new Novak-supplied AX-15 5-speed manual transmission and a rebuilt NP231 transfer case. The engine was fully refreshed with new gaskets, seals, hardware, accessories, and a Holley high-mount accessory drive, while the transfer case features a Novak slip yoke eliminator and heavy-duty front and rear driveshafts.
  • Built to stand out: The exterior features a full 97+ Jeep Cherokee facelift, including updated fenders, grille, doors, and firewall sections, finished in BMW Austin Yellow with black spray-in bedliner. Additional exterior upgrades include Notch Customs fender flares, JCR front and rear bumpers, rock rails, tire carrier, functional 5.9L Grand Cherokee hood vents, LED lighting throughout, and 17-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in 37-inch BFGoodrich KM3 tires.
  • Comfort meets capability: Inside, the cabin has been fully modernized with a complete 97+ XJ interior swap refinished in SEM black and extensively sound-deadened. Highlights include heated Corbeau Trailcat leather seats, custom leather door panels and armrest, a WJ Overland steering wheel, B&M short shifter with stainless knobs, Alpine navigation stereo with front and rear HD cameras, a ZJ overhead trip computer, and a fully functional modern HVAC system.
  • Built, sorted, documented: This Comanche has approximately 2,000 miles since completion, retains a clean and clear title, and is offered as a fully sorted, daily-driver-ready restomod. Mileage shown reflects the original Comanche body shell, and detailed service records, receipts, keys, remotes, and an indoor cover are included with the sale.
High-end Jeep Comanche builds of this caliber are extremely rare, particularly those executed as full nut-and-bolt restorations rather than cosmetic upgrades. With LS V8 power, a manual transmission, modern Jeep axles with 4.88 gears and electronic lockers, Wilwood brakes, and a professionally integrated 97+ Cherokee interior, this MJ offers modern performance and reliability in a classic Jeep pickup platform—at a cost well below what it would take to replicate today.
