I am looking for the back.  It is also unfornate but several dealers offer hitches listed for a Comanche, which is an incorrect listing. The hitches are for a Cherekee. Unfortunately the Comanche being a truck has it's own unique hitch & the Cherekee can not be shared.

The front ends were a whole lot alike ,the interiors of some years near identical in many ways, but the back end not so much. I owned a Comanche Sportruck (their spelling) short box, and I owned a Cherokee from a couple of years later. The dash, interior and many other things were much the same but like you said, the part behind the cab was a totally different animal body-wise.
I LOVED that truck, absolutely loved it, hated to part with it. It had been quite reliable even though as a farm truck I USED it like a truck. But when I traded it - it was clean as a whistle inside and out. The paint was near perfect, still had the shine of the charcoal clearcoat paint and decals, the interior was immaculate. That's the truck that had the big Alpine system in it that rattled the mirrors loose and cause interior screws to work their way out. 10 speakers including 2 subs aimed into the seat backs.
I had the hitch on it you wanted....... 2" receiver. I used to haul farm equipment, tanks and wagons with it, even through the fields. I'd just pop it into 4 wheel drive and haul the anhydrous tanks right out to the tractor with it. Bumpy, but I took it slow so it didn't rip the back half off the truck.
I did dent the rear bumper moving an outhouse once. That was fun explaining to the insurance agent.

Not sure where in MD you are but the 2 yards in the link get a lot of Jeeps run through them.  No Comanche's listed currently, but their list looks not to be updated since late August.  Might be worth a run down to look, if you are close enough.

Aftermarket bumper with hitch is another option. I think hanson makes one. Its tough to get a MJ hitch, let me check with my buddy he might know where to get one.
