the never ending story, just ended

[MancheKid86]

the plan is to sell everything off this vehicle, and sell some stuff out of the cordoba as well

and possibly buy this comanche,

You might want to knock about $250-$300 off your price. They are rare, but arn't made of gold.

I suggest that you sell the carcass to someone that can rebuild it, and then not buy another MJ.

honnestly man,

you think if it could be fixed i wouldnt fix it?

so what i @#$%ed up, who hasnt?

i made one mistake that cost me 2 1/2 years of work,

i have seen comanches in j/y's for sooo much less damage done to them.

the plan was to rebuild the truck, throw a 400 ci v8 engine in it, and then throw a roll cage all around it,

it was going to be a secret, and i was going to show all of cc what i did when it was finished,

i live sleep and eat comanche not jeep, comanche.

if i didnt, i would have trashed the truck so fast when the clutch didnt work the first time,

so uppon further inspection to the the truck once i got the engine/tranny out, it was deemed unfixable,

frame is 4~5 inches bent/twisted, and the firewall is like a run over garbage can bed is completly fubar,

the only salvageable stuff is the drivetrain and the 3/4 tank of gas, which i am salvaging,

saving, and selling the rest of the bent and twisted metal to a salvage yard, ill start over new,

learn from my mistakes, and build the next one with a full on roll bar :yes:

 

until then, all you guys keep on truckin without me, and ill catch up sooner or later

sounds great :clapping: :jump: can't wait to see the nest comanche you got goin :D

part of screwing up is taking the ribbing that others give you afterwards. we all go through it. :D

 

if you're going to build another, then by all means, take lots of pics and share. plenty of us here who want to see. :yes:

i have found a comanche!!

i am in the process on trying to make a deal with the seller,

its a 1989 6 banger with 4x4. I'm a bit short on the money right now,

but in a few weeks i should be able to buy it,

so i hope the guy who is selling it will work with me on this one,

i am excited :yes:

I'm a bit new to MJ's, but are LB roll bars that rare? I picked upi my factory SB roll bar for $40.
