Not mine. The truck belongs to Mnkyboy. I want to say he had to have the center up higher due to the trans tunnel. Otherwise, I'm sure they're just sitting on modified frames. I'm hoping he chimes in to connect the dots. Anyhow... I think they look great!

Still at it...

:banana:

Time to bring this one back up?: http://comancheclub.com/topic/28725-anyone-here-who-barely-grows-facial-hair/ :yes:

I really dig this truck. It's not all that over the top, but the function and form of it really makes for a neat rig! Hat's off, sir and great build so far. :thumbsup:

I like it when people put in the ad that they want a certain price then immediately after say that they'd take less. :hmm:

Right click... save as awesome. :thumbsup:

Nice. Exact same setup I've been thinking about for the last year or so. Nice to see it'll work! :thumbsup:

Planning on another set of Treadwrights or something else? After running them for a few years now, how do they wear and what's been your overall opinion on them?

Disgusting. Just disgusting. I can never get over the condition of some vehicles in "junk" yards down south. :fs2:

Truck is still looking great!

Fixed it for you, Pete. :yes:

Yup: Do some looking around here. There's plenty of other threads on using rear ZJ springs in the front to lower a MJ. I think there was only one or two members who actually posted anything on the outcome though. Maybe you could finally settle things with some good pictures!

Sorry to disappoint, Don... returned them months ago. What I remember though is that I would've had to make up about an inch worth of clearance from somewhere. At the time, I really didn't want to deal with it and Monroe had their "buy four get whatever free" rebate going on. Being that these came as a package of two shocks, they wouldn't let me use the rebate on them... even though I technically bought four shocks. The story ends with me returning these and using Sensa-Tracs in their place. Still, I bet others would still like to see what it'd take to get these on a LWB. GO FOR IT!!! :wrench:

I honestly think it'd be possible, but you'd have to fiddle with things a bit. Like you stated before, probably bend a little more on the lip of the fuel tank to make some room, but I think you'd need to loosen the straps on the tank and shifting things forward too.

ZJ = '93-'98 Grand Cherokee. I'd pick a set from a salvage yard before buying new. For one, it'd probably be cheaper (which I'm all about) and second, even if they don't get you as low as you'd like you can go old school and start cutting the spring. I'm sure many here would shy away from cutting coils (sure, plenty have done it, but it still doesn't make it the best solution), but for that matter you could cut the coils you already have. It will affect spring rate and whatnot, but a cut coil is a cut coil regardless if it came from the rear of a Grand Cherokee or from what's already in your truck. If you go that route, the it turns into a guessing game. Only cut a half coil off from the spring at a time. That way you can sneak up on it instead of just jumping and over doing it.

:doh: Find someone who does. Anyhow... back on topic, this is the route I'd go with. This topic comes up from time to time and this seems to be what comes up most.

You are correct, sir. Dude's name is Comanche Camper and his truck is incredible. http://comancheclub.com/topic/41584-91-with-camper-suspension-upgrade/

Plenty of us VW/Jeep guys around here. I've got a couple aircooled, but I also helped my brother build his '87 Cabby VR6. Stupid fun car!... anyhow, you should really put together a build thread. :D

I used autozone 2inch blocks n yea Home Depot diy lip lol. Could find anything else to make it with. Really wanted that red comanche race car lip but can't find it I'd go the same route that so many VW guys go when making up a DIY spoiler use a spoiler or the plastic lower portion of a newer bumper. Maybe mid '90s Explorer or something similar. As for the real deal, unless you remove one from a SCCA truck there really isn't any other options. Might be one leftover floating around out there, but highly doubt that guy would be willing to give it up. :peek: I like the look of your truck. You should really put together a build thread. :thumbsup:

Very cool. I'm a big fan of Wes Anderson films and this definitely has a similar feel to it. I like it!

What did you do to lower the rear?... blocks, I assume? Also... uh... that a piece of lawn edging being used as a front spoiler? :hmm:

Small fortune?... off of a Jeep site?... I think you're forgetting one major problem here. Raise your hand if you consider yourself a cheap-skate. :waving: Yeah... me too. You're probably right. If I crank out some of these, I'd only sell the adapter frame. Too much liability in just about everything these days so if I've got my hands on less parts, the less that things could potentially be any of my fault. Pretty much just a fancy piece of stainless... that's what I would offer. If the buyer were to choose to put some barb fittings in it, cut up their fuel sender, install some fuel hoses, and install it using a fresh o-ring and locking ring then that's totally up to them. :D He's in Minnesota, not Ohio. Thanks, Marcel. :thumbsup:
