got my brake line made up today, well i really under estimated, so i had to route the line a bit different, lots of play now, also my line doesnt look so hideous any more i still need to tweak it a bit to fit the axle but it turned out decent also installed the front bumper gaurd XD need to get around to swaping my other 97+ mirror on, get the shock mounts welded on in the next day or two get it insured tomorrow

looking good, did you by chance vacuum bag the fiber glass?

more progress, took the truck for a spin, see proof it moves! its in its spot the other way around shocks mounted on the frame, neighbor will weld my brackets on later this week, wednesday or thursday :( id like it to be sooner, but his welder his dime. brake lines all mocked up for tomorrow! i get my extended rear line made up at truck works will have full brake power, yes i know, the line over the pumpkin is hideous, but hey it gets the job done, i could have re-flared the line shorter but didnt see the reason to chop a perfectly good flare off more to come!

took the beast for a spin today, sure as hell need those rear shocks + brake lines, also need a 4wd shifter, sucks shifting it into 4wd from under the truck got er stuck for the first time today in my neighbors driveway, first run out :rotf:

i was thinking the other day that its been a very long time since you updated, this isnt the update i expected :(

Sooo much win :rotf:

1) I'm in school to be an aircraft maintenance engineer mechanic specializing in helicopters 2) I've owned nothing but comanches 3) I'm on mj number 4, which is a keeper 4) I'm 20 years old 5) Have 5 brothers and only 1 sister

Sick lwb only way to go, I just finished the 4wd convo on mine. Just have some odds and ends that I gotta finish up :D

more pics! :D keep that progress coming, so is there such thing as laredo sportruck or is it your hybrid? :yes:

got my new drive shaft installed today :yes: even got some spicer u-joint and new cps IT LIVES! all i gotta do now, is mount shocks (gotta fab mounts up still) and run brake lines, alignment and grease and fill up with fluids

how long you think itta take to fab up a sick bumper to fit a warn m8274 winch? i still haven't made it down like i said back in 2010 XD

:yes:

looking good, in your sig i only see 4 comanches, wheres the other one??

you sir need a beefier tie rod :yes: i bent mine on my 2wd on one of my rock walls driveway :rotf: looking good, can't wait to see more pics

you check you brakes like shawn said? :yes:

i can't get one until i make it to pnp when my trucks on the road, what can i do to get by until i have one?

get flat style bush wackers! rockmj is rolling with em

well got my master+slave cyl installed, i got the pre pressurized package, ROCK SOLID, never had clutch feel like this before, our bmw and 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited doesnt even compare. great investment just had to drill 2 holes and after that it was bolt on :D front axle shaft installed, with the 4.5" lift the slip yolk only moved 1/4" roughly compared to stock drive shaft getting dropped off tomorrow to get shortened, cps comes in tomorrow as well

getting my drive shaft shortened tomorrow, i measured 50" u joint to u joint needed, this is with the slip yolk almost flush with the end of the transfer case, should i make it 49" for flex? (as in axle sliding in towards the x-fer case while crawling?) or should the 50" be good? will the drive shaft only slide out while flexing? input would be great. -Devon

thank you, thats what i needed to know.

i used 2 ratchet straps, 2 lack stands and a floor jack XD got em in, then realised i had my sway bar links connected XD :rotf: trucks looking good!

91+ ax-15 requires new pilot bushing Part number pb77 Or pb77hd (heavy duty) Have fun with the bearing, Took me 5 days with recomended ways of removing it. Even rented the proper tool, Ended up using a hammer and center punch. Took 15 mins and was about 6 pieces afterwards but it was way better than spending almost a week trying to get it out.

finally got that damned bushing out, glad i only had to replace the one ( was missing the sleeve inside) i mentioned machine shop to my step father and he said he could get it out. well he was right, its out :rotfl2: empty hole new bushing (have 3 spares XD) then i beat the new bushing in, used 18" of 3/8 extensions went right in after 15 mins with the BFH all bolted up truck supports itself again :yes: getting closer every day, to do list: install front drive shaft run rear brake lines shorten rear drive shaft tape measure alignment get a new cps drill holes in firewall for new master cyl get stock air box or get 'warm air intake" and get new pcv valve (sat on it while trying to undo the top torx e-12 bolts) i can't wait to be able to drive a comanche again there is NOTHING like it

ive never seen pics of your white truck! just that one teaser pic a long time ago, or was that your son's gf's? :???:

It started life as a 1989 Cherokee Pioneer , to be honest after a few brews we chopped it and welded half a reclaimed manche bed and cab to it (6-7 years ago) after numerous run ins with solid objects the first of 3 97-01 clips went on. i always wondered why your sig said your comp rig was a manche, makes sooo much more sense now XD
