187Camaro

Hate to say it. Sold comanche. New owner will give it the attention it needs. I have been too focused on other projects.

I don't remember. It is kind of a bastard pack I made. I used the mj main leaf and probably 2 wagoneer leafs than than mj leaf. I think It is 4 total with the thick flat leaf at the bottom. Truck isn't close at the moment. I don't know the year of wagoneer the springs came from. I got them from a friend already pulled.

Those are 265/70r17s in most pics. Current tires are 33x10.50r15 sxII swampers. Rides great. Stock mj shackle. Wife's xj had 3 inch trail master and my comanche rides way nicer. Yes it is SOA in the rear. I never drove it stock so I can't compare. It is actually a little soft in the rear for the amount of weight I have put on it but I don't want it to sit any higher. Only issue since completing was grenading factory motor mounts skidding firewood.

Looks like you are off to a solid start.

Did a little bodywork this weekend.

Brought home some yard art.

Finally got 2 post put up a month ago. Installed long arm on wife's xj. Traded into a yj with what I was told had a bad fuel pump. Changed that only to realize it was just a bad connection. Now I am getting the spiderwebs out of the 7 and getting ready to restub rear frame and do an axle swap.

"Upgraded" my TV stand

I have some 38 tsls on recenterd h1s. Also have a set of 37 krawlers on wheels. I have a few options. End goal is to be on 40s when finances allow. Sold my quad cab dakota to get the ball rolling.

Well. Might get some heat for this but, I just ordered 5.38 gears for ford hp60 and a 14 bolt that I have had stashed. Also have a long arm kit for wife's xj on the way. Hoping to copy design from wife's kit for mj. I will keep ya posted....

Hauling a little firewood.

Not much new. Did buy some used STTs and mounted them on some free wheels. I think it looks much better. Not a bad $100 upgrade.

Recently did a complete remodel on my bathroom. I think it turned out pretty decent. Little irritated that most items had to be ordered twice due to wrong stuff shipped or damaged.

Not much new as of late. Have been getting some firewood. Lots of blow downs from a storm in January.

Any opinions on a lunchbox locker for the Chrysler rear in the mj since I do haul a bit of weight from time to time? Don't really care to start snapping axle shafts but would like a locker for in the snow.

Have a pic of starting the control arm swap. Got it done but haven't taken pics. It steers and rides much better. Picked up a ZJ for $150.00 as a parts rig. Though I don't need any parts off it. Seemed too cheap to pass up as I'm sure one of my buddy's will get it from me and just wheel it as is. Sawzall and 33s . 😆 Got the silver WJ for free from my sister. Threw a 2 inch pod lift on it so I could put some tires on it that I already had laying around. Gave it to the wifes friend that needed a commuter. She has been driving the wheels off it with good luck. All it needed was a starter. And lastly I picked up a model 20 and dana 30 for my CJ7. Rear has one piece axles, detroit, 4.56s and disc. Front has matching 4.56s and supposed to be aftermarket shafts but they look stock to me. Either way price was right even though I have to use my rear housing. I want to get everything swapped over and do a lunchbox in the front so I can play in the snow. Might be a bit before this happens though.

I did get these today in the mail. Hopefully I can get them installed this weekend. They were cheap so I'm not expecting a ton. But for 2 bills delivered I thought its worth a shot. On a side note I think I am picking up some geared and locked axles for my cj7 this weekend also. Kind of stoked about that.

Not sure why, but I added a snorkel. I did manage to get most of my firewood in and its still clicking along. I think lockers are next on the list. Any opinions on a lunchbox in the front for street driving?

I like that I can get in tighter spaces with it then I can in my full-size.

I gave it a quick Rustoleum spray bomb. Did it at night with just a beer box for masking. I think it helped even for a quick makeover. Eventually it will get grey raptorliner. Cut 4 loads of wood in 4 days. Guess it doesn't matter how it looks if it works. I did manage to break a motor mount skidding logs. Now I'm waiting on ups for some cheap replacements for now. I plan on buying some bombproof ones when I swap the motor. That will be spring hopefully. Old mounts lasted over 30 years. If I can get the winter out of some cheap ones I will be happy.

Got the winch installed. Straightened the rear quarter a bit more. I remember why I am not a body man. Went and cut a load of firewood.

I realize it seems overkill. I plan on mounting my high-lift, chainsaw, axe, and a shovel to it. So I figured it needs to be sturdy. I had a couple 50 inch light bars already. I had ordered cab mounts but was sent ones for a curved light. So then I ordered a curved light and was sent another straight one. Got tired of getting wrong stuff so made due with what was on hand. Ha.

I did throw together a headache rack. Not sure

That is a great idea. Thanks can't believe I didn't look at that.

I used the factory bumper brackets for the rear. I hope they are strong enough. I don't plan on pulling anything heavier than my Rhino or a couple quads so it should be fine. Had to get creative to pull the dent below the taillight. Used winch on wifes jeep to pull it out. The knock off bumper kit I purchased took a little extra tweaking. One part must have shifted when getting cut out. Not a huge deal but it did take a little work to make fit. Still worth it in my opinion for under $150. Guess I need to order a winch now.
