Been building a Comanche

nickhuts · 04-04-2012, 10:08 PM

I have been messing around in the barn when I can get the time... but here is some progress pics..

Plan is to build something for under $4,000...I think I can, I think I can

1990 Comanche
37 Iroks (thanks to Scott at Sunfire Off Road!)
1986 Grand Waggy Dana 44s (thanks Paul!)
Spartan Locker rear,...undecided front,
5.13 gears,
SYE,
Karnage Off Road bumper,
XJ Frame plates from Liquid Iron Industries

The lift is coming from spring over in the rear and 3.5in YJ lift springs up front. This is my first (what I call major) build.

Should be on the trail for Memorial Day...hopefully...

What you guys think?

It will sit a lil lower than this...

Future exo cage

Did you build that front bumper? Resembles a Hanson but I like yours much better.

But you're right, that's a GOOD looking bumper. There are very few mass-produced bumpers for the XJ/MJ that I like, this is definitely one of them!

I got this one on eBay. Its made by karnage offroad products .
It took a month to get but well worth it.
