Dielectric Grease as Belt Treatment

I have a set of NOS bumper brackets, PM if interested. Also ashtray light and possibly the seat trims, I’ll have to look.

I got tired of scraping my hands on the wing nuts that secure the hi-lift jack so I made a couple of knobs for it. I couldn’t find M12 knobs but luckily had some M8 ones from a previous project so I pressed out the nut, drilled it to the smaller diameter of the M12 nut, heated the nut and pressed it into place. Not very technical, but makes it much easier to install/remove.

In my opinion, not necessary if you’re not running a lot of accessaries, lights, stereo, winch, etc. I’ve been using cables from NAPA on my stock ones for years, work perfectly.

I replaced the bumper mounted hitch receiver with a Draw-Tite MJ hitch, it was too unstable/wobbly feeling. I flap disked it to bare metal, gave it two coats of Por-15 and two coats of Rust-Oleum satin black. Used 1-1/2” inch zinc plated perforated square tube as spacers and bolted it to the WilderNest. The support jacks will now use the hitch. Also got a dual hitch extender so I could offset a foldable step (think I need to extend it to the left a little more) for entry into the WilderNest which folds up for travel.

Montana Manche Restoration
fiatslug87 replied to Montana Offroad's topic in Member Projects: Your Comanches
I know at least two people on here have had them. I couldn’t find one so I made one out of 2” angle iron that I bent to follow the angle of the light tabs, closed off the ends then had it powder coated.- 57 replies

To move your axle use a ratchet strap on the frame, side you want to pull the axle towards, and the opposite end of the axle. -
