The comanche for the lighter weight, better looking body. Also depends on what tranny and t case are in each. Comanche is also alot cheaper to lift the rear. Swap in some 63's. The ZJ requires a 4 link. Not good for the budget.
I agree with ratlab no backseat passengers then go with manche, i have zj and i love it but i have nieces,dog,random ppl in back when offroad so that helps... manche is much cooler tho especially with bob tail and cage!
I just got a ZJ a few weeks a go just play around in and I love it. Also its not expensive to lift these either if you plan it out (coming from a 20 year old college student with out a job).
hurley if that is your black one on here i would love to have it just to keep mine nice and in one piece...but im commited now too much in parts,
looks like its the manche sold the zj today
ZJ's give you a lot more clean, dry storage space. But build the comanche and put some cool quick release seats in the rear, especially on a lockable swivel!!!!!
