Not much as far as any updates. Did purchase Dana 30 HP. The metric ton is completely cannibalized and just a cab shell.

Finishing up the rear bumper. Will be getting it ready for primer and paint

Thinking on selling the bed off the Comanche. I like what Fred done with his

Grinded the welds smooth. Still a few more details to finish.

Will be changing the looks of the front end

Cut out rear bumper. From 2x6-3/8 tube. Integrated 2-in receiver.

Science fair project (electrolysis) worked rather well I think. Just take a old battery charger 5 gallon bucket distilled water and arm n hammer washing soda. Cleaned the rear bumper brackets. Wanted to ask my neighbor if I could use his swimming pool. For bigger experiments lol.

Tire wheel combo complete. Have the 4.0 aw4 231 tcase out of the 88. To swap in. Than axles and lift.

Pictures of tires, wheels, and extended brake lines. Last picture is electrolysis project removal of the scale on the rear bumper brackets. If it works out. I'm going to use a small kids swimming pool. For other larger parts.

Toxic Orange build will be getting Rubicon wheels extended brake lines. I think everyone knows what direction I will be going with.

Sorry for the pipe dream. I just can't keep moving forward with this build. With my history of building a lot of nasty bad A$$ Jeeps. I just can't keep on with lowering this Comanche. So erasing the chalk from the drawing board. Here are a couple pics of old tack off's and new parts. Will show what the changes are in a couple days.

Not much known purchased for a few parts. Was a 88 Metric Ton Olympic Laredo. Not much left of it. Sad 😭 to say. I will be scraping in a few days. Another Comanche warrior has fallen.

89eliminator I'm South west of South Bend (Walkerton)

Little more fab work done to the roll pan. Dimpled die center section for four 1 inch and 3/4 exhaust ports. Added a little bling to the front valance

Thank you MiNi Beast. Head lights are pretty cool And the Metallic Black Stainless paint I did on the grill, dash, pass door handle, emblem, mirror, rear brake drums and center console. Turned out awesome I think.

It will flow with the body lines when I mount it permanently. I am needing to set it back another 3 inches. Than the sides will line-up with the front fender flairs. It be fine. I like it. Also going to be applying for membership with SCCA with Toxic Orange. Was shocked that they have a Chapter 40 miles from me. Hoping to have it painted and a few other addons completed before the end of May. Than hit the track. Don't care if it's slow. Still will have a blast. SoCalJeepComanche I do respect your opinion.

A little metal fab after work tonight. making up a rear roll pan from some tin I had laying around.

Adding a few pics. Working on the rear roll pan.

Advanced a little more on Toxic Orange today. Added 30 MM front sway bar to stiffen up the body roll. Received new door seals. Fabbed up new lower front valance. Came across some Metallic Black Stainless paint. Last pic just a teaser

Today was a little productive. Added the DRL headlights

Took some time out for Toxic. Added the power heated RX8 buckets. Real pain making up brkts. The design engineers who came up with the floor pans. Must have went to work for Ford and designed the 6.0 power stroke. And laid in the center console. for now. Awaiting to pull the 4 speed out and go automatic. FedEx dropped of the next addition DRL Head Lights'

Have added 2 inch lowering blocks and XJ shackles to the rear. Put in a pair of good used rode hard front coils removed the . Height of the rear started out at 35 inches. Front was at 33 inches. Toxic Orange is now sitting at the rear 31 inches & front is at 30.1/2 inches Wheels and tires also added And tool box with added led lighting with third brake light

New addition to Toxic Orange Power steering for the first time. Added the Pump Shaft Lines and box all from a 4.0. Other then the lines shaft and box. The pump was free. so I purchased everything else and did the swap from manual to POWER STEERING!!! And you can't see it but I also added to the box a Stock pitman arm from a TJ. Just to get the geometry correct with the TracBar and draglink.
