Floor support are installed

Some rust in between my 2 bed support on driver side, a pile of mud wash chilling there when i pull the bed off, its a pretty hard to get place when washing underneat the truck. So i took the support out and trying to keep most of the good metal with my spot weld on so i can replace it at the exact same spot! repair the lip on the frame Good ole cardbord trick has never failed me That was the last place to repair! Still need to weld my floor support tomorow before going back to work. On my next time off in 2 weeks ill be ready to start painting the floor, frame and engine bay. can't wait to be done with this step and starting to reasemble the manche

i will take a look at this brand! Thanks

Thanks

Take some time yesterday to clean underneath the comanche. Today i prepared the welds and applied some seam sealer on both side

Thanks! Thats a lot of job for sure, but ive liked every minute of it so far

Finally floor are done! still need to weld the floor suport that i recive last week

Dropped the bed at the body shop yesterday! I chose chrysler stone white (Pw1) for color, you can find it on newer xj’s and many more chrysler model. can't wait to see the result next week!

They fit so well! No trimming needed just some love tap with a small hammer some place to get the pan pefectly lined with the tunnel and rocker

Thanks!

Passenger side done! Still waiting for my floor support to show up. Back to work tomorow so driver side will wait another 2 weeks

Top and passenger side of the tunnel done!

Nice job! What color did you use? I am not sure wich white to use between the original one or stone white from newer xj and tj

Some trimming done today to recive the floor pans! The fit on those key part floorpan is near perfection, would recomand to every one planning to do this job! No big deal, just cut where is the rust Also started to weld the top part tunnel from my 87 donnor

Epoxy primer done last week Just finished to apply 2 coat of eurethane paint And after 2 month my floor pans are finally home

Finally back working on the comanche after the hollydays and work! I'm still waiting after my floor pans to show up, almost 2 month since i’ve ordered them I spend the last two days sanding the underneath of my bed.. took me around 10h lol. Pretty happy with the result, no bad surprise so ill be ready to put an epoxy primer tomorrow!

Not leaking but its so rusted out that it will eventually crack near the bottom crimp! like JZLAjeep said ill make one using a T and elbows

Thanks! There is no tarrifs on car parts (yet) lol! But the shipping is the worst part! Sometime i can pay more in shipping than the actual part on rockauto, but its still cheaper than local auto parts

Thats what i tought too, but i was wondering if there is too much pressure in the hose or something cause the oem one are crimped onto the pipe

I would love to buy it but I'm from canada

Is there a place i can find this piece? Or can i make something myself to replace it? I'm not looking to change over an open cooling systeme if possible.

Pull the donor out of the shop using the winter tow rig Started prepping the cab waiting for the floor pans getting home..

Successfully pulled the 87 backglass today also took a couple more thing ill need later like drip rail and the metal plug in the front off the bed ( don't know how its called lol) cut a floor section that ill use as a patch Also take off the bushwacker from the 87, ill not use them on the manche but maybe one day ill use them Now i need some space in the garage

Pull somme goodies out from the spare comanche, a grey dash bezel that will go in my 88. 2 doors XJ seat in really good condition with mint comanche seat bracket on the right! Not sure if I'm going to use them or not. And a rainbow interior lol. Grey dash, Red door card and mint red sunvisor! Dark blue backboard, everything else is black.
