I guess I have another project...

Not so much project as an introduction, but I figured I might get a few questions on it so what the hey.

-D44 rear/ spool/ traction bar/ 5.13 yukons

-Full hydraulic steering using single ended ram mounted to 1.5" .375" 4140 tie rod

-38.5x14.5x15 TSL SX's on DIY beadlocks

-front leaf spring conversion, 15" front shocks

-sheet metal dash with all autometer guages

-cage

-RCI buckets and harnesses

-Warn M8000

-bobbed/ boattailed/ boatsides...lots more I'm forgetting.

NICE!

now dovenose it!

gotta love those trailer queens!

Looks great man. Love the dash setup.

this one is a trailer queen but drives on the street great every now and then. I also have an 89 with 4" lift and 32"s that is plenty cpapble and streetable, but I choose to daily drive my 97 dodge ram 5.9 truck.

Hey man. Nice MJ. I have seen it on the Rockyour4x4 page. I'm the other Comanche On there.

Do you get on ACFW also?

I'm on ATCF every once and a while but not too active. Jason went out with us sat up at windrock. Had a good ride, you should join sometime.

NICE!

 

now dovenose it!

Sure thing, I'll get right on that... How's this for a start?

Don't know if you notice but I don't think your shocks are going to work like that.

:teehee:

I prob would have been there on Saturday but I was in Nashville for a wedding. I would love to go riding sometime.

Thats cool. Current plan is fluidyne radiator mounted in the bed with 2 12" fans, remote mount trans cooler, swap from the current 10" front shocks to the new 15"s and build a tube structure for the front and hang the factory sheetmetal off that.

Yesterday I got the wiring harness shortened and spliced. had to take 36" out the main harness and remount all RENIX goodies on the firewall plus made some progress tonight. cut through the firewall(PITA!!!) and got the upper hoop bent to tie into the existing cage.

How much MJ is really left here? ;)

:laughin: love the matching tape measure!

don't forget the matching hammer also!

I really like the two tone though! sweet looking

got the front cut down and realized that I can use a stock radiator still.

awesome truck, love the work you have done on it!

Ok, I got the fenders on but I have run into an isseu. The front header panel won't sit far back enough to connect to the fenders so I can do a few things; one would be not run the header panel at all, also could legnthen the fenders to reach or I can run the header panel chopped up to let the upper tube come through( where my problem lies.) Give me some input on this, as I'm unsure on what I want to do and wether not I want to put that much time into something I know is goint to get broke. I really want it to stay Jeep looking but I am at a crossroads here.

Also in the pic here you can tell exaclty how much has been ditched from the front.

How much of a gap is there? An inch? 2? What about ignoring the gap and welding some mounting tabs on the bar to attach the header?

Made some more progress tonight. Got the hood and bumper cut down, more tube into it, new header panel trimmed and the fenders in a temp position. Front ain't going to line up perfect but it looks like the grill/ header panel issue won't be terrible.

looking good and props on the MOPAR collection

I just threw my fenders/header in a pile when I saw how much of a gap there was. I could have done something else, but at that point everything was pretty much, uh, odd anyways.

But I took more out than you did.

Far from done but the end is somewhat in sight. Today got more tube work done and some fiberglassin finished.

Here it is.
