Little jeep

And she sits....

Thanks! I've been itching to get out there and work on this thing but here in NJ were having an ice age so I'm going to have to wait it out

Getting the diffs under the truck was a job but we got it done

Yea that extra 3/4" of steel hanging down might get in the way when it's 23" off the ground

Shave as in take off the spring perches and shock mounts because you can see in the pics that I did?

Yes it does. I made frame rails for the front half and there will be a sub frame in the middle for the 4 link arms to mount to. The existing rear frame rails will be stiffened it will be used in mud and rock crawling

Made 4' tall saw horses to build the jeep on. Sat it on there today and sat the tires next to it for fun. That should be about where ride height is

$2700 in total spent on those parts

And for the next couple weeks I was on Craigslist looking for deals and getting the major components I needed to build the coolest Comanche I could think of that still had a chance of driving down the road here in NJ 46x19.5x16.5r Baja claws Cucv (military Silverado) 1 tons Dana 60 king pin, 14 bolt rear, 4.56, locker in rear Np205 transfer case, divorced Sm465 4 speed manual trans, 2wd. Low gear then 1-3 And finally the motor. 350sbc converting to carburated

started with a very solid Comanche. Long bed with roll bar. Truck was listed as 6cyl manual on Craigslist and when I arrived in Delaware to get it I noticed it was v6 and auto. Not what I wanted but I figured if I can get it for a good price I'll take it and strip it down to the shell. I was able to take it home for $1000

Going to post my build thread. If someone can tell me how to add pictures it would be appreciated

Building a Comanche with 4 link front and rear, 1 ton diffs, coil overs, full hydro steer, and 46's
