did you do bags front and rear on the dakota?

[1990 Pioneer 4x4]

Just the rear, but also cut one spring off the front coil and raised (lowered) the leaf spring mounts in the rear. :D

cheapass! u buy a brand new truck then hack the coils instead of buyin lowered ones :rotfl2: lol i had a ranger that i welded up the diff, heated the coils til it was on the bumps the took all but 1 leaf out so it was on the bumps. ya rode like crap but it looked cool. you take the manche out much?

I did edit the floor boards... That Permatex rust stuff looks like a good option, but i think i'd use POR 15 with some kind of bedliner materal on top.

 

I wonder if there is any reason why I wouldn't want to replace the carpet/mat with some kind of bed liner material. Like would I have an issue with too much heat on the tins?

I used Rust Bullet to coat my roof, really easy to work with and is a durable finish. Just make sure you have good ventilation and wear gloves. I love that rear bumper/ :drool: :drool: Don't let it sit again, Comanches hate to not be driven.

sometimes with coils you buy, you cannot get the proper spring rate you desire, so some times, you need to cut them.

i would recommend only cut them if you know what you are doing :thumbsup:

 

your coils, when you cut them, became super stiff, thats all, didnt do the proper math :yes:

[cody4359]

i knew what i was doin lol, free lowering kit when i heated them :yes: . i was going for bumpstops, not ride quality. also i was 18 so i had no $$ and didnt care about ride. lower spring=firmer ride, weather its a heated coils, cut coils, or the proper lowering coils they won't ride factory like.

[cody4359]

any new pictures of the mj in action?

[1990 Pioneer 4x4]

It’s been sitting in my garage, needing a bunch of work. :wrench: Your MJ project is looking good.

[Paul Bruchal]

Nice build :cheers:

I really like your rear bumper! Did you build it or buy it? If you bought it, where can I find one?

[1990 Pioneer 4x4]

…wish I had the skills :shake: had it fabricated in Lakewood, WA (strongweld.com).

WEAK! The baby needs to know what its like to ride in the comanche before its even born. Better bust it out and tend to its needs. 1 year parked is BAD news.
