I found this today :D A guy in Florida is selling a Comanche for his buddy. The link for those looking 2 buy - Rich http://www.floridajeepers.net/viewtopic ... b3253a272d

:eek: Wow, that is some chunk of sheet metal. That should fix the problem ;)

Flippin PO's, can't they tell that the carpet is wet? What did you end up doing to fix it. Thanks for sharing :cheers:

I am glad to know it is not just me. The replies are encouraging, thanks. The paint shop called and said they removed the decals and extra stickers from the truck. I will take pictures when I get back there. - Rich

My floor :eek: I have the replacement pieces ready to go in, that I cut out of the donor MJ, and they more than cover the damage. I don't know if you can tell from the picture but the inside of the frame has zero rust. The carpet is what caused the floor's sheet metal to rust. Why didn't the PO get the leak fixed :headpop: I can't understand. I drove the jeep 2 hours to get to the paint shop from where I had it parked. The heat from the motor and trans was intense and the Florida heat did not help anything. I packed every piece of carpet I had left over the hole. The bugs were driven out and into my lap also, lol. The passenger side has only a little surface rust wich is great. The jeep runs and drives fantastic. The transmission shift perfectly which almost made me consider keeping the pukegoat. So my project has started, the before shot

Sweeet :bowdown: Your gonna lift it to 6''? It already looks like it is lifted?! See if the 35'' will fit as is. Lucky bastid, lol-Rich

Was your wife looking over your shoulder when you typed that Catatonic? Lol, :cheers: Very nice and I agree 100%-Rich

I have to disagree with you on this one pingpong ;) If some chick caused me to wrecked my MJ, she would owe me a lot more than a party date :brows: -Rich

I don't have any input on the front spring conversion, but I take it from your name and sig that you have a Scrambler also? Check out http://www.cj-8.com/forum/ for another group of great people but with CJ8s - Rich

:bowdown: That is FanFrickinTastic! You have earned it - Rich

Oh s#@$, I am glad you are ok. Who was at fault? How much damage? Make a convertible out of it like Pete said. Dodge did it - Rich

I don't think we are a bashing sort of group. :cheers: I am glad you are offering us options for our LWB trucks. Welcome aboard, Rich

Sorry to hear it :cry: I re-posted this on http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/showthre ... ost2101738. I hope it helps, Rich

ROFLMAO :lol:

I am interested so I sent you a pm - Rich

They are expensive :shock: I am getting a dealer p$ but it aint much better. So it will be closer to $400 but it is an all metal, direct fit hood. Sort of a waste of cash but I really like them :?

I am frickin stoked. I just got an unexpected bonus from work, so I am going to start on my MJ now. I have talked with the paint shop and worked out a deal for the paint job, new cowl hood, fix the rusted out floor pan {I have already cut the pieces out of a MJ}, and the leak that caused the rust in the floor pan fixed . I am doing this first because the deed restrictions won't allow me to park it at home if it aint purty. Ooh, I think I have my TPI 350 traded for a new 44 front axle but I am going to have to figure out what is included in that deal. All I need now is a AX15 so I can order my TnT Y-link kit. I will be going down to the DMV friday to have the title transferred to me b4 I start anything...I know, what a slacker. I will be posting progress pics along the way. I hope you all excuse my excitement but I needed to tell someone. :-D - Rich

I lean back and forth :D I want an aw4 I just don't want the wiring headaches. I have a few other thing to do before a trans / tcase swap . just trying to get my ducks in a row :D Yeah, I would like to have the AW4 too. I was thinking that you would do it and tell me how it went :D When you started this post, I was really considering doing it as well. So I went to NAXJA and did a bit of research. It changed my mind. I'm not trying to say it could not be done, just that it would be MUCH easier for me to do the AX15. And I can rebuild it myself :twisted:

Cbaz, Did you get an AX15? I thought you were leaning toward the AW4?

I understand :-D

Nice work! Looks like it will hold up well 8)

Thanks for the info CW :wink: Any reason why you chose the regular shackle vs boomerrang style? - Rich

Hey, what type of shocks are you using and where are they now mounted to {axle side}? Did you add some type of boomerang shackle to your lift. And my last question is where did you get the u-bolt skids? Thanks for your help, Rich :D

If they did, you may not be able to get close enuf to it and you would damage the YJs tires :shock: Mr. I have onboard air :P Call and ask if they would remove it. I really don't think it will be a problem to get it out. We would just have to lug it half way across the lot - Rich

:D You are going to need a bit of WD40, sockets w/ext, wrenches, and a pair of extra hands {or vice grips}. The bolts are not that bad. Should not be too bad to remove. Drum roll.....the pics
