buggy79 Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 Whats up?Been checkin the site out for awhile now like it alot!Got me a 89 comanche 4wd I have been working on for about 6 months,Has 4.0 auto and alot of rust!!Well not so much anymore since I cut it all off the bed,frame,doors, bumpers,front fenders,and floorboards.So now its more like a truggy 4 link front and rear installing a 14 bolt and looking for something for the front.Well here's some pics I`m not using the d35 in the pic anymore I did all that before I picked up the 14 bolt! and here's one the day I picked it up(for free)
89eliminator Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Nice tube work. Welcome to the club. :agree:
buggy79 Posted November 30, 2008 Author Posted November 30, 2008 Thanks for the compliments on the tube :D It`s my first time ever bending a cage.But thats why it has taken 6 months to do.Never built a 4 link suspension either so we`ll see how it works out when I drive it :dunno: aaron
JeepcoMJ Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 nice job, but that's a dana 35 rear and a dana 30 front...
buggy79 Posted December 1, 2008 Author Posted December 1, 2008 nice job, but that's a dana 35 rear and a dana 30 front... Yeah I know I have a 14 bolt for the rear and looking for something for the front as well?Have a d44 from a chevy need one from a ford if anybody has one close and wants to trade or sell? aaron
pingpong Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 I must say I like. But I have some questions/request. I would like to see how you linked the rear. Here is a pic of my junk. I had the cage done proffesionally.. but I am in the process of redoing it again. I think I am going to leaf spring the front and link the rear. Depening on where you are at.. I have a few d44 laying around
buggy79 Posted December 24, 2008 Author Posted December 24, 2008 Got a few updates to show,got the 14 bolt almost done and the d44 ready to run my links to in the front also picked a D300 for $150 so I can use the front chevy axle and plan on twinsticking it
jtdesigns Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Your trucks starting to look like Halo's Warthog. Need to mount a 30mm chaingun on a turret on the back of that beast...
BookspanS Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 And don't forget he has to have the Spartan suit to complete the look :rotfl2:
ejndssn Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 I'll take one and a fast boat too :brows: brown water navy :cheers: btw where did you get that pic is this a rocal .50 :drool: :drool: :drool:
pingpong Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 You are going to need to "clearance" your floor a lil.. but good choice on your setup. Will be stupid easy to drop a chevy D60 up front :smart:
reson46 Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Got a few updates to show,got the 14 bolt almost done and the d44 ready to run my links to in the front That's a 10 bolt, not a D44. Be careful around those jack stands. Personally I wouldn't think about getting underneath that as it is. There doesn't appear to be much preventing it from moving front to back. Willy
buggy79 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 The jacks stands are more stable than they look but I`m still not gettin under there. here's a few pics of the front done and at ride height. also picked this up for free the other day an eaton rear ff out of a 65 pickup with 456 gears so it will be going in the back.
Pete M Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Nice Eaton. :D I bet that weighs a few pounds.
Bounty Hunter Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 buggy79, nice looking rig. I love boggers cut like that, I'd run them for my trail tires if I didn't drive my jeep a few hours to the trails. thanks for the phone call, appreciate a jeeper trying to help out a fellow jeeper. I think I have somebody lined up to pick up the transfer case when it's ready, keep my number :yes:
buggy79 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Posted January 23, 2009 Thanks for the compliment :cheers: Its my first truck build built a few buggies pretty much the same>Thats the only way to use boggers is CUT.Not a problem tryin to help out I should have it out in a week or so but if you could get it picked up sooner I`ll get it out. aaron
pingpong Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Just a question.. Have you cycled your front suspension? It looks like if you get it twisted up.. your uppers are going to be in your oil pan. Also are you running a single triangulated 4 link? Got any pics of the frame mounts for me to ponder?
buggy79 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Posted February 13, 2009 here's a few progress pics got the rear shocks and springs mounted and a few poser shots,Nothing binds and everything looks good so on to next step
1999MJ Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 do you plan on running a larger tire then a 35 in the future? Looks like your real close to the shock at full stuff with the 35's. May just be the picture
BLHTAZ Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 do you plan on running a larger tire then a 35 in the future? Looks like your real close to the shock at full stuff with the 35's. May just be the picture I was just wondering that too. Looks like those shocks need to be angled in just a little bit to allow better tire clearance.

I am pondering stopping uptravel there or move the shock in at an angle to eliminate that problem. aaron
