Lived there for about 4 1/2 years in the Frt Worth area, Cleburne to be exact. Loved it but missed the Mountians and "gasp" Snow in the winter. lol

Wow it's been 2 years sence I've been on here, I quit getting on the computer for a while but didn.t think it was that long, Lol. It said last log on was Thu Jan 25, 2007 WOW! Well I,m glad to be back on.

That's just too funny, I saw that years ago and forgot all about it. I was just to Beaver a few months ago to visit friends.

Wow CW I havent been on here for some time, and I have to say the MJ turned out very nice. I havent even looked at mine sence summer parked on hill with other Jeeps been broke so don't want to look at something I can't fix. but yours looks great.

Hey Lee thought I would stop in and check on the progress on here, looks like you need to add to it, or did you give up untill after Christmas, I'm trying to get mine going again head gasket time, did you deside on axles yet I may have found a 80s J20 for a replacement for the Waggy if you did.

Wow CW I havent been on the computer for a while,you shure have been buisy lol nice winch same one on my 90 MJ a little slow but strong as heck great winch Ive had mine now for 14 years and never a problem (knock on wood), great job.

just do a coil spring conversion on rear,and bob the bed take it right to the rear flair, a guy I ran with a few years ago had one done this way unfortunaly he only had it for 6 wheeling trips as he really needed a new master cyl and put it off one to many times lucky for him he got out before it droped 200-250 ft strait down,he ran 6" TJ lift w/2" spacers for 8" total cut the fenders alittle and moved flairs up he was running 37" boggers flexed real well.sorry no pics even if I knew how to put on here.

I forgot to mention you also could go to a spring shop and have them make you new ones (rear springs) mine cost me 150.00 installedand are 2.5"-3" lift w/bushings, you mite also put an add in the wanted section of these forums I mentioned for control arms off a TJ,XJ,ZJ aftermarket of coarse lots of guys going w/long arm systems and looking to sell old control arms I got a set of fixed arms never used because the guy had bought adjustable ones I only paid 20.00 for all 4 well worth a try spacers are cheap try joining a club that gets a discount at the local 4wd shops or check out the vendors in all the different forums they mite offer a dicount remember real jeeps are built not bought and a project built on the cheap (but safe ) is always a bonus,scavange the U-Pullit yards for anything jeep that in good shape and if you don't need it chances are someone else will,and trade up for stuff for your sons comanche. sorry for the long post but its late and I'm just rambling lol.well again pm,e-mail any time and I will try and give all the help, advice,that I can....Sean.

Wow when I started replying to tread no one had posted got a phone call and like 4 or 5 posts lol,anyway I see you are from OH you should check some of the local jeep forums for parts here are some of them hrja.org,noth east crawlers,black list wheelers association,great lakes jeep thing,West Virginia Jeep club,try some of them to find some parts and meet people in your area I'm on hrja and wv jeep club awsome people just as they are here but a little closer for parts and trail rides and such. again hope this helps.

you mentioned a SOA but did not say what you are planing on for front a SOA is only good for rear as you are puting the leafs on top of axle the frt has coils you can go 3" in frt with out having to mess with the control arms anything more and you need to replace the lower control arms.if you find a used lift for a Cherokee,97 up wrangler the supention is the same for a cherokee and frt wrangler so if you are going for the cheap this could help, if you want new National Tire and Wheel has a special on a kit frt coils rear add a leafs and heckthorn shocks, you can use this kit to start with and always add control arms and frt spacers later for 4"-5" of lift and SOA rear. hope this helped a little Good Luck...Sean.

bdjr I am surprised that you got 2" out of ZJ coils we have put a couple of sets on before and never got more than 1/2" of lift 1st set was used coils out of V8 w/47,000 mi and 2nd were brand new a friend at jeep garage gave me also V8 coils and still only got 1/2" lift you are not only person to say you got an inch or two out of them. As for harper.631 I personaly would just start out w/1 3/4- 2" spacers and 30s so you can still flex good,but if you are looking for a bigger lift and tires you can combine these and a 3" kit for 5" and 32s and a little triming or 33s and alot of triming, 4 wheel parts has a great deal on a 3" kit in there suspention specials section for 225.99 and not really my favs but good deal none the less pro comp has a buy 3 get one free during october 150-160.00 each for MTs. or you can look for a used 3,4,or6" kit for a XJ or if you find one for a TJ wrangler you can use the front stuff from it and do a spring over on rear I have done this before and some kits are a little different as to how much lift you will actualy get my skyjacker 4" tj lift only gave me 3 1/2" of lift,also new coil isolaters will help a little also (about a 1/4" if yours are wore clear out mine were) every little bit helps. Good Luck....Sean.

Leaf spring conversion 2 1/2 wrangler frt leafs SOA W/ FSJ 44s or a 44 frt and 20 rear and have at it Guy in my club is doing this to a XJ but putting 4" leafs and running 39.5 Iroks. http://www.jeepinwv.com/ and go to pics buildup on exo/fullsize/leafs you will see it all kind of pics just an idea and best part no death wobble.

Thanks anyway just thought Id throw that out there. as for the paint you talking in the bed if so have you thought about Durabak? Pretty good stuff Ive been thinking about using it or maybe checking on the Cabela's brand as they show- white,dark grey,sand,tan,grey,olive,and black. I mean its no Rhino liner or Line x but for 68.00 a gallon and rool on your self not bad.I just found a guy that has 3 comanche's 2 2wds and 1 4wd 1 4.0 and 1 2.5 and 1 no motor or trans not shure what trans the other two have going now to check on these 300.00 for all w/parts he says so have to run,later....Sean.

Looks good can't wait to see what you are going to do to it next. If you decide to get rid of those adjustable spacers let me know if I can aford them Id be interested. Thanks ... Sean.

Wow that rollbar turned out great looked like it fit a Ranger splash to begin with I used to work for a local Offroad shop and sold/installed a couple,that things looking less and less like a DD and more trail duty all the time keep up good work. Sean....
