a photo, just in case the link dies:

wow, you have been busy.

that is shockingly clean. not one of the POs of my rigs was that thorough.

he definitely stretched the wheelbase a bit. 20" if I remember right.

found this on teh interwebs. This was more or less the XJ I was designing a few years back, but even more truck-ish. I like it

that topper and visor and just glorious! be sure to start a build thread so you can give us all the details

lookin' goooooood... Just be sure to wash all the appropriate spots once the weather warms.

Awesome! not sure why it's in the trees and missing the taillights but awesome nonetheless.

yeah, a bunch of us are waiting on some updates.

that's some sexy 'manche goodness right there.

things are really coming together! but are you sure it'll fit out the garage?

nice! And I agree, the piper might be the ultimate Comanche.

My buddy has an even more industrial version of those and they are awesome. Getting something that's "too heavy duty" is not a problem. stronger is better. Whatever you do, don't get plastic. that stuff tends to sag over time, even from not-so-heavy things. anything on your local craigslist or the like? and you can (and should) drill into the walls for at least some strap anchors for safety.

minor hijacks in the classifieds are tolerated unless they are negative against the item or if the seller objects for any reason. Conversation can drum up interest in the item or at the very least keep it bumped to the top. also, Manny is one of my favorite MJs out there. hats off to the builders.

limited slips were an option unto themselves.

I've seen a few MJs where they added in shortened XJ bars up top.

86 is a weird year though. It doesn't have to be 4.56. In 87 they became far more standardized in the ratios.

nice!

on top of the cab? or above the bed like a ladder rack?

I've got that one Turbine that was only ever a spare and it'll be on my wall. Never thought about the clock thing though. I might have to look into that...
