RustyRodder Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I installed my factory rollbar, remote spotlights, repaired the front/rear foglight wiring. Found that I have low voltage. And got stuck in the wet field, since 2wd comanches lack any traction uphill in the mud... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Got the front of my lift in. Still have a bunch of adjustments to make and I still have to set rear pinionangle and burn the perches on. I am having fitmentissues with the rear control arm drop brackets braces. They are the RRO ones. They are keeping me from property reinstalling the trans crossmember whichneeds to be done in order to set my pinion angle correctly. My other issue is the rear driveshaft. My 4x4donor vehicle is an 86 long bed with the NP207. I had to order a driveshaft from a junkyard for a short bed. But a short bed never came with a 207 transfer case. It must be shorter than a 231 case because it's most likely that's what the shaft is from because with the pinion near correct angle the shaft wants to fall out. I still have the long bed shaft and I guess I'll get that one cut down and use it if I have to. And another thing I noticed, the sway bar when angled down all the way hits the lower tank on my radiator. I have longer links to put on but I'm a little worried about it popping my radiator if flexed too far. I'll repost this to the tech section to see what of any suggestions you guys might have. Here are a few pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I agree. that'll come with the next round of upgrades as money allows. (along with work lights, functional license plate lights, turbines, and maybe a better truck box) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wounded_Fighter Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I drove it today. I normally drive it everyday but some days it just feels like an accomplishment that its still on the road. Good feeling. It's the little things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On mine, today I cleaned the C101, relays, IAC, adjusted the TPS & TV cable. And checked grounds/alternator. Alternator is dying, yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreasemonkeySC Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Leather wrap steering wheel replaced the plain Jane model. About 25yrs ago I was working in an aircooled VW restoration & hotrod shop. We had a 75yr old guy that was a heroine addict who did all the interior work. He could custom wrap a steering wheel, and stitch it up in 30min flat. Made some amazing multi color custom wraps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreasemonkeySC Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I was actually hunting for a pic of the one he made for me. Black kangaroo leather, and bright blue thread to match my car. I guess my pics are lost to time!He taught me how to make headliners, door panels, seat covers, ect.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreasemonkeySC Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I literally finished 5min ago. I was installing my new to me So topper bed cover.$500 used, and a 1 3\4hr drive to get it.It's in excellent shape, and after I can see well enough to give it a few tweaks tomorrow, it will fit perfectly. I even hit the jackpot, and it's the correct color to match the Comanche.BTW: it was from a 6ft bed Toyota Tacoma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
