Yup... aftermarket. I went back looking for old for sale ads just to see how they mount up. Been shooting PMs back and forth with Ed on this one. Thanks again for posting pictures for everyone!

Ah crap! I wanted to fit in but I think I did something wrong...

*COUGH*... Rob... *COUGH* :D

Is it too hot in Topeka? Sorry... best clip from that show ever. :laughin:

:hmm: It was cheaper the first time: http://comancheclub.com/topic/36761-1987-comanche-4x4-for-sale/

Interesting. It hangs in place by being held in with the rear window gasket/trim, correct?

Jeep ZJ rear coils will lower the front of a MJ about 3" so I've read. They're easy to find too... unlike other other such lowered suspension components... (shameless plug) :yes:

Maybe 5 degrees with the sun this afternoon. About -6 and breezy when I left the house this morning. Mornings like this makes me want to take off the mechanical fan and throw it away! For reals... howls like the truck is trying to sprout wings and fly away.

:D

Hu. I was on the impression you wanted to swap out the front suspension under your truck. :dunno:

Cool! Just cool! And now I want one.

10 degrees? Lucky... :fs1:

Eh? :hmm:

^22233x on it's way.

Part #22937x has been discontinued by the manufacturer. What?! Lame... :fs1:

If you do any other color for the hood, you could always cheap the color down into the boser. Otherwise, if it'd all be white I think the body lines will be subtle.

Awesome. Makes me think how beautiful mine would've been at one point. :shake:

I'm just excited to see where this goes!

He had a bunch of the mechanical stuff all figured out that all I had to do was connect all the dots. Everything went fairly quick because we both had very little time off work to work on it! I actually just redid his factory strut housings to he can lower it a little more. He got a set of Konig Rewinds for it too. Hopefully he'll be updating his build. As far as the hood, yup... same hood. Honestly, I'd do the boser in the header panel and leave the hood stock. I'm just thinking more along the lines of keeping the lines tight. Unless, are you thinking of trimming the header panel too?

The headliner! I forgot about the headliner! Good call. Most of the styling/mechanical cues were based off of the most stereotypical Euro looks. If I were to go Euro... I'd push it as far as I could. Huge thumbs up for the Mk1 crowd though. My brother and I did a 2.8 Vr6 swap from a '94 Passat into his '87 Cabby: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4824285-VR6-87-Cabriolet http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5228135-Modifications-and-Drag-Times-87-Cabby

I've been thinking about this all night. Start with some '97+ doors for the one piece glass, graft in some Mk3 door handles, obviously the boser hood, single center mount wiper, smoothed front bumper (don't forget the Euro plate!), roll pan rear, smoothed fender flares, side skirts, and snowflakes. Interior wise, I totally agree with keeping the bench but recovering it in a VW material. Match that with '97+ door panels with a cloth insert to match the bench. I think the newer door panels would match in pretty well with an updated dash. Any dash?... I'm thinking working in a Mk3 dash! Probably swap the whole wiring harness over too. That'd make it easier for wiring in the 3.2 Vr6! Hey, you guys made a TDI work in a YJ, right? Yup. This creation needs to be built!... You go first though. You on VWVortex at all?

RML? 18s would fit the bill! I'm sure you have a hook-up in the VW world, right? Now you need to find yourself someone who can make you a carbon fiber hood. Get wrenching! :wrench:
