STERLING STINGER Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 work truck, but i still love it painted rim with crappy tire on it no idea how this prevents rust....has anyone seen one before? as you can see, it needs some work, but i have been looking for a 91 with low mileage for around a year now. this is after i got it home and cleaned it up a little, it was almost black with tree sap and crap when i got it. any suggestions on tires for those rims?
glundblad Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Nice truck with a lot of potential. I never realized how nice white comanches are. Are you planning to keep it white? Yea, those tires look a little small. They look like the original 225 wrangler radials. I cannot offer any advice about replacing them. I went with 235 "silent armor" wranglers. While I like them a lot, they are not big enough for anyone on this site. Are those seats cherokee leather seats? They look great.

Pete M Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 that's one sweet condition truck for a PA jeep. make sure you wash the are inside the bedsides right above the rear flares. :thumbsup:
freakjeep93 Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 make sure salt doesnt stick in the flares so it doesnt rust out.
STERLING STINGER Posted November 29, 2009 Author Posted November 29, 2009 Its already rusted out there :dunno:
Pete M Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 Its already rusted out there :dunno: bummer. didn't look that way in the pic. :(
freakjeep93 Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 i think hes acually talking about the white one pete as ib the pic there is no evidene of rot pon the plow truck...? am i right strling?
WahooSteeler Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 That electronic rust inhibitor thing does work. Well, I don't know if THAT brand/model works, but there are units out there that work. It won't prevent rust, but has been shown to dramatically slow down the process. IIRC it basically sends a low voltage negative ion charge throughout the frame and metal parts and slows down the chemical reaction.
JeepcoMJ Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 the maroon work truck looks rust free...very nice. and nice factory meyers plow :D...my bro just got one for his MJ as far as washing behind the flares, he means to wash out (by hand, using a self-wash or pressure washer) up inside the bedsides. water will arch up and over the top of the wheel well, kicking out all salt etc. and prolonging the life of the vehicle. nice swb too...but lose the darn cab lights, they look terrible on MJ's IMHO. and welcome to the club :D
STERLING STINGER Posted November 30, 2009 Author Posted November 30, 2009 no I'm talking about the maroon one, there is rust on the drivers side above the rear wheels. there is also a little rust on the passengers side, you just don't see it. the maroon is in the shop getting new coils and leafs installed. wish i could do that project myself but its a little too much for me. as for the white 91, it is getting prepped for painting now. i am trying to find out what size tires i can get for it, i want to fit something meaty on there. they ar 15" stockies, but i painted them. any recs for tire sizes?

I can't remember if you said you were going to lift it. Might rub the LCAs on full lock a little, but otherwise no problem if you have the proper offset. Assuming you keep the same Jeep wheels, should be fine.

STERLING STINGER Posted December 2, 2009 Author Posted December 2, 2009 here's the new pics after the coils and leafs were replaced. it looks like a drag car to me, all jacked up in the back.....it aggravates me, i want it level!!!!! but thats what the 92 is for, not the work truck......oh yeah, you can see the rust band aid on this side...for everyone who said this truck looks rust free in the last pic!!! :rotf: what are these pics all about???? the one looks like it had a column shifter there at one time the other looks like an e brake was there i hate this, how can i fix these without fabbing something plus i am looking for 1 replacement light, here's some pics oh yeah, i threw a pic of the hood, I'm proud of it, it used to be almost black with tree sap and crud looks almost brand new now.....sorry, nooooobie....i know
WahooSteeler Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 You stole my truck!! On your white one, looks like the PO put in XJ leather seats and a center console in addition to moving the gear shift to the floor.
STERLING STINGER Posted December 2, 2009 Author Posted December 2, 2009 thats crazy, they are exact.......whats your address man.......just kidding :banana:
STERLING STINGER Posted December 2, 2009 Author Posted December 2, 2009 i was looking at your pic saying to myself, "when did i take that pic? and where the hell is that??" lol :rotf:
WahooSteeler Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Pretty wild. Here is a pic of what I intend to do when I paint it. Also, I've got @2"+ of lift on it now, sold the Canyons/30" B-stones for some Ravines w/31" BFGs. Otherwise the same.
STERLING STINGER Posted December 2, 2009 Author Posted December 2, 2009 is that photoshopped or something? my white one is my "daily driver" i was going to put 30s on it but I'm just going with the ones on the work truck, bfg 225/75/15 they lasted like 2 years now and theres a ton of meat left plus they are cheaper and look good
WahooSteeler Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 yeah, one of the guys on here photoshopped it for me so i could see what it would look like.
