My last restoration project for a friend. poison spyder rock sliders and rear bumper w spare tire mount.Fishbone front bumper, old man emu hd 2" lift on faulken 33 s .Interior pulled and tub was painted inside and out new front fender . chassis done with line x .Parts and paint alone were around $12,000-13000 plus labor, total was close to $20,000 . That was a one owner garage queen never even in 4wd.

Just because it looks like it could climb a pole Does not mean it can.This lj wrangler hit the pole anchor cable not the pole .The pole and transformer came down on the hard top.Looks to me like the rock sliders stopped the cable from cutting into the main tub. The jeep then rolled over the pole anchor ,pole pieces and debris and did heavy tub, frame and tank damage.Leaking all three fluids in the end.
Driver didn't even have a scratch.Maybe a winch would have helped? lol

I hear that,Florida truck so it has corrosion on both sides of windshield frame in and out.New heater core while interior is out(never seen one last 37 years).Thank you for your helping ,I am more of a fabricator than mechanic and need some guidance.Most of my experience is with cj-5 s and 7s and a Comanche is not a cj. My first jeep was bought 1987( when I was young and was a 72, cj-5, 304 v-8, 3spd .I am really happy to have found like mine people to help me with a long time dream .I have wanted a Comanche since H.S. 86-87

Thank you. The floors fixable and the jeep overall isn't bad. I pulled the dash today and found the windshield needs to come out .

I am almost finished pulling the interior out to weld in floor pans ,its a little rougher than anticipated. Before and after shots of the tank .I used a wire wheel , elbow grease, 40 grit sand paper, p b and acetone. The primer is Home Depot farm and implement $24 a qt. and top coat is Rustoleum flat black oil base also from depot .I applied with a small hot dog roller. Pics of the floor. but not bad overall
