Thought I'd share this link.  Found it a while back, bookmarked it, and just remembered I had it reading over your thread and your plans for Olive Drab.

http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f177/rattle-can-paint-jobs-702988/index2.html

Second page of the thread, post number 23 by diskman_1.  Check out what he did with his home mixed Olive Drab on his XJ.  Looked good to me and its cheap.  Post number 30, the same guy explains how he mixed the paint, thinned it, and rolled it on.

I think if I was going to do Olive Drab on anything, I would at least try this.  Its got to be easy to fix when you mess it up and its cheap enough you don't mind messing it up to begin with.

So i've got a little update for the thread, i finished the driver side boat side and and its ready to weld in i didnt snap any pics didnt think it was worth if since it just mimics the passenger side which there are already pics of. however i also got the rear bumper done which i think turned out killer heres some pics let me know what u think.

Got some updates, thing are moving alittle faster the interior is almost done, just have to get the seats mounted and mount an ammo can mounted for the center console. The front bumper is done just needs paint, heres some pics. originally i wanted to put a small stinger on the bumper but i dont have any DOM sitting around, so if any one has about an 4 ft piece of 1-5/8th .120 wall sitting around let me know if not ill porb. just add a stinger when i get some tubing for the exo cage.

That is some beautiful fab work Nate. Im gettin out of the way when that thing comes down the trail. Don't no if you already posted this but does that Comanche have the stock engine,trans,Tcase & whats the gearing in the axels?  That is a bad ass trail rig Nate. Your going to have some fun with that thing!!!

Your going to have some fun with that thing!!!

Ok so the drive train is a pretty big disappointment, Just the stock 4.0L, AX-15 and NP-231, the axles get alittle better but not much HP Dana 60 with a sterling 10.5 w/ the stock 4.10 gears so with running 37's 5th gear is going to be pretty un-usable. To lock everything together its just gonna be lincoln lockers front and rear. with the wheel base being so long im thinking this thing should be drivable on the street. maybe down the road when funds allow we might throw a decent gear ratio at these axles with a selectable locker in the rear, and then maybe a set of 40's. But as for know we are just trying to get this thing done so we can get it on the trail.

That looks great, nice work Nate but will the rig have the important stuff like heat, AC and a kickin stereo?

Heat yes, A/C ill have to look and see if this one came stock with a/c if so im sure i can make it work, kickin stereo? well there is currently no head unit installed but there is still speakers in the door so just have to try to find something cheap to play the tunes, however most of these things are falling pretty low on the priority list.
