thanks farmerbrown! still long process left but itll get there..... here is a new attachment for the trailer. i will finish it on my next nights off. but i believe we are all fans of our whiskey soooo what better addition to an expedition trailer than a mobile bar? the frame..... first idea.... enjoyed the three glasses put would prefere an even number. couldnt fit four sooo. I added the backing....and a drawer for... couple shot glasses... and cork screw and possible whiskey stones. i will be finishing the front doors and side handles monday when i am off next. but i would enjoy your thoughts and ideas.... thanks for checking in.

so i decided to take the sleeping bed off and do some adjustments to it.... cut the bed and input another hinge so that when the shell is on i can access the cargo space fully. It now folds over once and opens up all the way. carpet laid and measured Cut to size and rolled up for glue Glued and Stapled finsihed carpeting the main sleeping platform. Enjoy. :laughin:

I know I know I know. its been a long time an i appoilgize. and i am sure yall have gotten tired of my rebuilding of the same trailer and so on and so forth. so here is the deal.... i have pulled it out of storage and started to actually make progress on it..... pulling it out of the trailer. A little of what was stored in the trailer. now empty....yes thats a drawtite that i have sanded down to bare metal, primed, and painted. just waiting for my comanche to come down to TX. From Idaho. truck axle still under it. Removed.... ANY ONE LOOKING FOR A REAR AXLE? Comanche Specific! working on the shocks Shocks and axle mounted. T Tires mounted!!!! JPR SLPR is ready to roll to its new location for the bed swap, painting and interior build up. Thank you everyone for your patience and please bare with me as i promise i will be making regular updates now that i have room to and time to work on this. :cheers:

well just update on the ct.... got her all registered and pretty much to what i want her to look like. just a mirrors on the way in the mail and a frame cover. then itll be complete. what do yall think??

just came across this thread. truelly an amazing piece of work. hope you still have the truck. :bowdown:

Johnny quest mentioned a expedition type trip. I'm not sure I'll be ready with my rig but this is a trail I've always wanted to drive since I found out about it. http://www.oohva.org many different sections.

So i got a new rust free bed! i am also in the process of buying a house. so its been kind of crazy on my end hopefully ill beable to work on it one of these days. picked up the bed for 300 bucks as well as.......>

I paid 800 for it. it runs and everything. just need to fix up the lights on it and put mirrors on her so it will be street legal. they are fun little bikes. my folks have one back in idaho (CT90) that they want to put back togather since i bought this one.

my new daily driver and adventure rig. Figure it will be a good fixer upper and use as my daily driver here in the beautifl Texas weather.

well i know i havent had any updates. sorry everyone. been busy with work and i am now buying a house so hopefully that will go through and then i can actually work on it slowly but at least a little... also i bought something to go in the bed of my MJ while i tow the JPR SLPR.....i think it will make the perfect addition to the truck and trailer! and my pannier bags and medical kit what better way to spend an expedtion than with a HONDA CT110!!

i seen your post on the wildernest sight many few moons ago and you mentioned something about another "project" good to see you were able to come through with it. good job and keep up the great work ben. :cheers:

Could fit way more but this is what we have... exluding my brothers XJ thats not in the pic.

this is what i used to do a 4 and 6 connection. http://comancheclub.com/topic/19339-trailer-wiring-for-4-wire-and-6-pole-receiver/

so i am not sure if this has been done or not. and since i don't have my truck here with me i decided that i wanted to start what little projects i can for it and hopefully it will fall togather once its here. i see a bunch of cutsom interiors and different switch plates and auxillary switch locations. however i want my truck to be moded but still look stock. what i did was take an XJ trans and wiper swictch plate and a cigar lighter switch plate and made a stock like plate. this is pretty simple and can be done with only two beers. my end goal is to find someone who can print a sticker that will match the stock ones. ill show you here in a few...... this is all youll need..... as well as a dremel tool and jb weld peel the sticker off and make your cut lines cut out the switch and notification light area. take a cutter or grind wheel and make the edges square take the switch area and place it over the cigar lighter area.(ensure the socket it removed first) trace a line for your cuts. i forgot to take pictures of this part but cut just inside the lines so it is not to big and it will ensure a tight fit. if you need to use the grind wheel to make it work. added the toggle switches and lights switch plate and cigar plate fit tightly togather and can now be welded. i used jb weld. if you have something better please post your ideas! welded the back. it will set in 6 mins but will take 4 hours to be completed back complete....one of my lights fell out. but since i didnt want the plate to fall out ill leave it till i know its hardened. front is finished. sorry about the blury PHOTO!! here is the template concept i have came up with. it will go in this order. left side of steering will be the fog and cargo light. right side will be roll bar lights and rocker lights. then the cigar lighter will be aux fan and aux power to the interior. well i hope you enjoyed this!

yxmj posted all in fun. as a joke... thats why comanche club is comanche club! we all have a good sense of humor. you can't come on here and post for advice and then immediatly turn into a J/A. we understand your upset and frustrated and we are all more then willing to offer you advice take the constructive criticism and have fun with it. as for advice your what 18-19 y/o? so that means your buddy is probably the same age right? so of course you immediatly want to resort to violance. first of all how much do you care for this girl? is she just a high school fling or is she something serious and someone you can see your self settling down with? find out what the true reasoning is behind it. if she is just a piece of pie then let it go. if you truelly love her then talk with this guy like adults. don't get hot headed and freak out on him. talk it through shake hands and continue on with your lives.

:dunno:

found a place where i can work on it! :banana: ill bring it over possibly tomorrow and within the next week we should have some progress!!

Shelby I'm not sure how the texas tags work but i think i will try and see if i can get it put on. thanks for letting me steal it since you were unable to use it. also was able to pick up my axle yesterday wahoo. :brows: came in last week but with my timelline they are always closed before i get off work. now i just need to find a place to work on the trailer at. anyone in the north texas area have an area for me LOL. thanks everyone for the comments, i hope you enjoy it and sorry for the slow build. it will be worth it i promise.

Trucks looking good. Any new updates

I got spring packs from hellcreek a few months ago. They are still selling them.

yup i think it is definetly a winner. :cheers: cheers shelby

well i ordered the axle. i couldnt go 62 but i was able to go 60.75" good enough for me i suppose. I am trying to decide on a name for the trailer. i currently have it as SporTrailer but i was thinking of others as well.... 1. Sportsman 2. BaseCamp 3. Mountaineer 4. Bivouac 5. SporTrailer 6. Outdoorsman What are yalls thoughts? any other suggestions

So should I get brakes on the axle too?

Thanks ben. Ill be looking into it. As far as building one haha I'll leave those skills up to you. Once I finish up the academy I wouldn't mind taking some welding lessons though.

sorry there have been no updates on the build. started the police academy and the trailer is in storage until i can find a place to work on it. i do plan on buying parts and stocking up so i can get alot done once i find a garage. from yellaheaps suggestion i am swapping the axle out to a trailer axle and adding in a sway bar. any suggestions on what trailer axle i should use? i believe the axle is 58.5" thanks ahead of time.
