COMANCHEROB4WD

FINALLY got a chance to take the Comanche down to Wellsville. Note to self: bring a camera. Here's an "after" pics my buddy took when we got back down to the bottom. I will say I did a lot better than most of the guys I was with, even had to pull them out with my tow strap a couple of times. Overall, a fun trip. Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found

:cheers: I might try this later...lol

Yes you do John. We'll still be out there if anyone else wants to show up.

I've got a baby coming in february so that could work out as a way to get out of the house! lol

A couple of guys from work are planning a wheeling trip over in Wellsville, OH. If anyone is interested in joining us, we should be there pretty much all day next Sunday (12/18/11). PM me for more info if you're interested or just show up and look for the Orange Comanche.

:cheers: LOVE IT.

Thanks! LOL...I know. I've been waiting to take it off and paint it so I didn't mess with it. I noticed when I bought it. I've seen a lot of these with upside down grills. Oh-well... :rotf:

My kids love it. When I told them I was going to change it my 4 year old suggested a pirate ship...so we compromised.

So the confederate flag on my Comanche (as part of the General Lee paint job) apparently offended some people. Usually I wouldn't care, but these are actually people I care about so It's getting a face lift. I'm going with (my original idea) skulls and lucky 13. Here's a couple pics of the PO Adam freehanding the skull on the hood and the aftermath of my crappy painting. Enjoy! (More pics to follow once we get the rest of the truck painted).

Here you go man!! Thanks again, these were in GREAT shape and a lot easier to install with the brackets! Image Not Found Image Not Found

Just got a rollbar from another CC member! I will post pics later with the rollbar and lights installed. I also just picked up a bunch of random parts from the PO. Front fenders, new gauge cluster with tach, driver side mirror, spare tire, headlight switch, and tailpipe. Not sure what I'm going to do with all of that but it's always nice to have extra parts.

I'm interested and willing to pick it up. Still available?

:agree: Me too...and not just because it's mine. Although, the engine in the 2012 (on the right) is ridiculously responsive.

Looks good man. Gotta love anything camo... :cheers:

Just another day at work: Image Not Found

:popcorn: one word: awesome.

It's rustoleum...ORANGE NUMBER 214084...that's all it says on the can. It took about 12 cans to get it covered.

:agree: Those tires are great in the mud...and surprisingly quiet on the street. You just have to keep the rotated or they don't last long.

About me: Name is Rob. I'm 29 years old, sales rep at 4WD Hardware, 2 kids (boys 4 & 7) with a little girl on the way (due in Early Feb.). I own / have owned a few Jeeps: 88 Comanche Pioneer (my first Comanche!!) 94 Jeep ZJ (Grand Cherokee) 77 DJ-5 (Postal Jeep) 87 YJ - LONG term project...very LONG TERM. 95 YJ - SOLD 97 TJ - Sold Anything else you want to know just ask! Here's a couple of me after getting my kid's hands tattooed on my chest and how you can usually find me while working on my Jeeps... Image Not Found

Thanks Brandon. Glad someone likes it. I let the kids help with the numbers so I'm getting a bunch of crap from the guys at work for the lines not being straight. I think they're just jealous because 1: they don't have a Comanche and 2: they wish they could pull off that paint job. It was a lot of fun to do...and the kids like it...and that's all that matters to me.

Here are some pics of the front fenders before and after. I have another set, but I'm saving them until after winter. These pics are from before grinding and what little prep I did for paint: Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found

It has a 3" lift on it now (best guess). I'm looking into the RE 5.5" SOA down the road. Here are some new pics. I decided to give it a new paint job (rattle can special). My son helped so my lines are a little crooked, but he loves it. I'll post better pics one I get the bedliner applied and the black touched up. Let me know what you guys think! DISCLAIMER: I like the Duke of Hazard and thought it would be fun to do a General Lee paint job. 99.9% of the people that have seen this paint job and know me understand this. It's only a paint job...Enjoy! Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found

So I bought this MJ to get me to work during the snowy winters and to be a fun toy for the trails. I picked it up for next to nothing and decided the first thing it needed was a little cosmetic TLC. I took the stock fender flares off because they were cracked and found a nice little surprise. The previous owner attempted to put cut-out fender flares on it but (from the looks of it) changed their minds after cutting the fenders...resulting in a fiberglass/bondo/rusty mess. I decided for the time being to smooth it out the best I could by removing the horrible excuse for bondo and redoing it myself. It's far from perfect but a lot better than it was. I also decided to cut the rotting pieces off the far back/bottom of the bed instead of wasting more time, fiberglass, and bondo or trying to weld in a patch panel. I'll be replacing the bed as soon as I can afford to anyway. Here are some pics of where it started and where it was at when I decided to stop for the night yesterday. I didn't get pics after I took the flares off but I'll post more pics once I'm done patching it up and after my rattle can paint job. I know it's not perfect, but it's mine...and it's a HELL of a lot of fun. Future projects: Replace front fenders (already have just need to put on) Replace truck bed Add Rollbar Winch ready front bumper New lift Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found
