Nice looking truck, looks like all the right parts are there, just needs a little tweaking. I see you live in Lusby? Shoot me a PM, I live in Lusby as well.

Yea I agree. sorry for the dark pic, but yes there is a place for chain mounts.

hanson makes xj/mj front bumpers already.

Yea it's pretty nice, and yes it came with just the bumper and bolts, not even any sort of directions although it didn't need them. Worth the money? That's a matter of opinion as is with most aftermarket stuff, and in my opinion I would say yes with a disclaimer that if it were about $100 cheaper it would be a lot more marketable.

As promised. Ended having to come out to panera(yes I was "that guy" on his laptop writing his novel, haha) because internet on base blows hard. The bumper mounts to all existing bumper frame mounts with some additional bracing on the bumper itself. It was a good but tight fit and took a little persuasion to get all the bolts to line up just right. It is very good build quality and really looks good on the truck. By the way, no license plate mount is included, not sure what to do about that yet, oh and neither were those d-rings. Any other questions feel free to ask.

I'm currently at ft leonard wood, mo doing some military police training with the army interestingly enough. I'll be heading to okinawa at the end of may though. The Comanche will be sitting in my dads garage for 3 years until I get back :(. Wife tried to convince me to sell it but I don't have the heart haha.

So turns out I'm leaving for the field :wall: (Marines) from this Thursday until friday of next week. Bad timing for sure. Won't be able to post pictures up until then. If someone else doesn't have it before then it'll be priority to get pictures up when I get back for sure. Sorry to make you wait a little longer!

No prob, internet here is pretty slow, but I'll manage. Tracking says all 74.0 lbs of it will be here this coming Thursday. Should have it on by friday night or saturday.

Hey I pulled the trigger and ordered one, tax return season was good to me. They shipped it yesterday afternoon, I'll be sure to post up pictures when I get it in.

Update: Went to the jy last week and picked up newer door and window seals as well as some sun visors out of a cherokee with mirrors on them. I failed to realize that the comanche and cherokee sun visors are different sizes but just redrilled holes and it was done. door seals and window seals were a snap to put in and the truck is so much quieter inside now and the doors close better and the wife likes having mirrors on the visors :roll: new starter solenoid, truck only wanted to start on the 3rd or 4th try, new serpentine belt. I was attempting to put a new harmonic balancer in this evening but, I got the old one off and I just can not get the new one on. I got tired of trying so I said screw it, I'll figure it out tomorrow. Any suggestions??? I am stumped. no pictures yet, it's dark out so, tomorrow. sorry!

Thanks, the previous owner had put them on with aluminum spacers for the bigger tires, was thinking of getting rid of them at first but now I like them with the blue.

I'm in southern maryland (calvert county). Sorry for the late response.

Not really a build update but an update nonetheless... I tested out everything at Rausch Creek Offroad Park in PA this past weekend and everything worked great. I don't have many good pictures because my buddy(red toyota) broke a front axleshaft around 3pm on saturday and we just packed it in and headed home not wanting to mess with it so I didn't get to do as much testing as I wanted and didn't get to too much challenging stuff but there is always next time. No real damage for me, a few frame rubs(need rock sliders!), small scrapes and a leak in my brand new rear pinion seal :mad: Not one to be outdone, I went for it... not enough momentum, didn't make it far. That isn't coffee in that cup!

Yea me and you both, luckily I've got a friend that lives right down the street who only uses the lift to change his oil and stuff. So I pretty much have free reign of the place. BTW, I tried your CPS fix posted on other parts of the forum, by brakleening the flywheel as its moving(I have a leaky RMS) and I went ahead and put a new CPS in and saved the old one, seems to be doing a lot better, thanks for the info.

yea that was the name of the guy who I bought it from, too. Truck is a long way from Texas now though.
