Comanche
« on: July 14, 2010, 03:36:20 AM »
The winter project arrived today 91 Comanche on 1 ton axles and 37 inch military tires and rims, the engine runs and everything works mechanically except for the front suspension is a shit show. but it only cost 2k delivered to the door so cant complain about that. Let me know what u guys think, and any ideas for the build will be appreciated. The tear down isnt going to start until after summer wheeling season in case i need to get the the jeep back in and fix it. Here's some quick pics i snapped in the drive way.

My apologies nathaniel, I was reading it on my mobile device sir. Either way it is sweet and now your neighbors will think you guys are even crazier. Whats with the tail light area though? Needs to be painted black or something, that and the snorkle. How much lift does it have? looks like overkill from the pics, but I guess I'll see it tonight

the truck is like 5 different colors, but when its all said and done its going to be flat army green. The lift is total over kill its at 10" so we r going to come down to 8" and run the tires that are now on it. 8" will allow us to run the current tire size (37) with out cutting it up so it will still look like a truck when we are done.

so i said the front suspension was a mess, guess ill elaborate, currently there is no form of upper control arm. So to have something to keep the front pinion at some kind of correct angle the strap was used, it was good enough to drive the truck onto the trailer and then off into my driveway. So i guess it did its job, however when it comes time to throw something that will work in this think we will prob go with a tnt longarm set up, and theres a possibility that we could do a custom 3 link.
