STERLING STINGER Posted November 27, 2009 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WahooSteeler Posted November 30, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted November 30, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STERLING STINGER Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WahooSteeler Posted December 2, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STERLING STINGER Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 yeah, one of the guys on here photoshopped it for me so i could see what it would look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
