Finally had time to post my build.I'm 16 and i bought this truck about a year ago.had to have a truck and always wanted a off road jeep.jeep comanche it is.Where i live your lucky if you see a jeep comanche drive by in a years time.i wanted a inline 6, 4x4, short bed, and 88 on up.perferably wanted grey interior, red exterior, and aw4 tranny. well destiny found its way.Finally found one after looking desperatly on craigslist for a few months about 4 hours away.Had every thing i wanted plus it even had factory 4:11 gearing and trac lock rear diff. I don't have many build pictures because as soon as i got it i worked on it day and night.well heck i do at least one thing to it every week it seems.always have something new coming in the mail for it.

Motor, drive train, and transfer case-
body has 162000 as of now but motor was rebuilt at 100000 by squelch in Missouri somewhere.pretty much every sensor is new and has cold air intake which will be changed to a uni foam air filter and i had the muffler shop put on a flow master 40 with 2.5 inch piping yed into duals going straight back with 3 inch tips.best sounding jeep ive ever heard.Tranny was swapped in because the 4x4 was swapped in by the previous owner and i added a trans cooler but other than that is stock for now.transfer case has been rebuilt(buddy had a comanche for about a month and wanted to race and as soon as i hit the gas the axle twisted off the welds and broke the drive shaft off which then took the transfer case out).
Interior-
swapped in jeep cherokee buckets, nice consol from wally world, bed lined floor, have 750 watt inverter on back bord with out let on slanted tool box in bed, pioneer head unit with pioneer speakers and 6 by 9 kenwoods in 2 little boxes, white face halo guages with stainless steel bezel, swapped new style guage cluster before that too(had to cut hole for shift reading in both), winch in cab switch, wired a switch to the ele. fan so i can over ride it and turn it on when i want, gps, radar, midland cb, fire extinguisher, tinted windows, window air deflectors from junk yard, summit racing hood pins, and a reupholstered headliner that was done right before i got it.
