shelbyluvv Posted September 25, 2016 Author Posted September 25, 2016 It is public, Bureau of Land Management, and open to ride and play on. This is the same dune taken from the top. Our house is behind the hill. Less than 1/4 mile away! Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

shelbyluvv Posted October 17, 2016 Author Posted October 17, 2016 I made the mistake of letting a idiot ride my wife's 09 LT Z400. Needless to say it didn't come back under it's own power. That mistake has cost me over $800! Damage so far has been a front shock, headlight, ECM, handle bars, rear grab bar and tail light. Never, ever will anyone ride our quads again.

Wiggilez Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 That sucks :( but with that much damage I kinda want to know what happened.
shelbyluvv Posted October 17, 2016 Author Posted October 17, 2016 He stood it up trying to ride a wheelie and broke the tail light and grab bar. He then slammed into a JK and did the rest of the damage. I'm pissed but it is back together and runs perfect. Everybody keeps telling me to sue him for the repairs. That's not who I am or how I was raised. Karma comes around. This is my puppy we got a week before this happened. She is a 6 month old Shepard. Her name is appropriately, Karma.

HOrnbrod Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Looks like the cat and dog were forced to share the same sleeping space and neither one of them is happy about it. :yes:
shelbyluvv Posted October 18, 2016 Author Posted October 18, 2016 They don't like to share. The bed is Karma's but Ellie Mae claimed ownership. Neither one wanted to give up their share. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
EUREKA Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 I would really like to see the missing images from post #34 if that is possible.
shelbyluvv Posted January 30, 2023 Author Posted January 30, 2023 Guess who is getting rebuilt again! I left her sit for far too long. I am going to finish her this time.
shelbyluvv Posted January 31, 2023 Author Posted January 31, 2023 I feel like I've been here before...
shelbyluvv Posted February 3, 2023 Author Posted February 3, 2023 Today I got the bed off the truck. If you're wondering why I'm completely blowing her apart again this is why... I thought it was a good idea to use her as a Jeep for about 3 years. This mud has been hanging on for over 5 years! Never again will this truck ever see mud.
Pete M Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 I might need to swing by for a visit and help wrench
shelbyluvv Posted February 23, 2023 Author Posted February 23, 2023 Onyx got a spa day to get all the mud off the rear frame. Since the hood, fenders, doors and rear axle all have issues the best thing was to buy a donor Jeep for parts. I feel like I've been down this road before... The XJ will provide plenty of needed parts to get her back together. I also jumped on the Gladiator bumper band wagon and installed a $50 Sport bumper on her. I still need to trim the ends for the box but that will have to wait until I get the leaf packs and everything else cleaned up. I found a nice exhaust kit on ebay for a S10. I figured I could make it work and work it did. It practically bolted right on. Slowly but surely she's getting back to her prior self.
JeffK Posted May 22, 2023 Posted May 22, 2023 I've been out of the Comanche loop for a while. What all is involved in mounting the Gladiator bumper? It looks good BTW.

shelbyluvv Posted June 16, 2023 Author Posted June 16, 2023 Parts have been aquired to change the altitude and attitude of Onyx. Time to take her in a totally different direction. Stay tuned.
shelbyluvv Posted July 28, 2023 Author Posted July 28, 2023 The parts rig is starting to give back to Onyx. Door, fenders and hood have been put on my girl. I added some Labaron hood vents while I was in the process.
Drahcir495 Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Going to enjoy seeing this rebuilt . Love the look of the gladiator bumpers.
shelbyluvv Posted July 31, 2023 Author Posted July 31, 2023 "I do declare, Mr. Beauregard. You are my hero." What in the world am I doing to this poor truck? There are going to people that love it and those that hate it!
shelbyluvv Posted August 1, 2023 Author Posted August 1, 2023 The XJ continues to donate parts. I pulled the shackles, cleaned and painted them. I then painted the undercoated frame with chassis black. I couldn't make the bolts black so I painted them a nice hammered gray. I'm waiting on a few more parts to come in to button up the rear suspension and axle.
