Dave Stark Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 I was at the JY yesterday & i was talking to one of the guys that works there, he told me that one of their regular customers drives a FACTORY step side Comanche. Supposedly they only made 50 or so according to him, but for some reason i think he may be getting the Comanche & the J trucks confused... I did a Google search to no avail, anyone heard of this?
Automan2164 Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 There was a "factory looking" stepside Comanche on ebaynot too long ago... Definitely one-off, but very well done. I am with you on the getting the j-trucks and the Comanche confused... Easily done, and I have often been led to "A cool old Comanche like yours is sitting over here for sale..." To find a j-truck sitting there. Not a bad thing by any means, because even the FSJ trucks are BA, and I would love to have one as a workhorse. It'd be a sweet tow rig for the MJ's also. Rob L. 8)
HOrnbrod Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Probably talking about the dually MJs with the extended Hanneman rear fenders that were built in limited quantities by a Cali dealer, si?
Dave Stark Posted March 6, 2010 Author Posted March 6, 2010 Probably talking about the dually MJs with the extended Hanneman rear fenders that were built in limited quantities by a Cali dealer, si? That's actually what i thought at first but he said it was definitely not that. I don't know, next time i go back i'll see if he can get me a pic...
jteckmann Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Pretty sure it was on this forum, but I saw pics of an MJ with either an old Ranger or S-10 stepside bed on it. I'm personally not a fan of stepsides, but in the pic it looked goodl, and the lines of whatever bed they used matched up well. It almost looked "factory" EDIT: Found the thread - http://comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14889
WahooSteeler Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Probably talking about the dually MJs with the extended Hanneman rear fenders that were built in limited quantities by a Cali dealer, si? I NEVER get tired of looking at that picture.
Dave Stark Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 Probably talking about the dually MJs with the extended Hanneman rear fenders that were built in limited quantities by a Cali dealer, si? Apparently Hannemann is still making the bed side flar for our trucks. $200 each... http://www.hannemannfiberglass.com/custom.asp?id=457567&page=109
Automan2164 Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Those are the baja flares, not the dually flares, although might work with some fab. Rob L.
Geonovast Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 I remember some time ago someone posted up a picture of an MJ with a stepside Ranger bed fabbed up, and it was very nicely done.

HOrnbrod Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 :ack: :ack: :agree: :ack: :ack: I agree, it's ugly, but beautiful under the hood. It's got a supercharged 4.9L stroker motor and freekin' flies! It's the Hesco delivery truck. :D
Wildman Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 From this thread: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14889&hilit=comanranger :cheers: :eek: I've seen that before :hmm: And that looks like the house down the street from me :dunno: Here's the rest of the pictures if anyone wants to :drool: over it...... Sure which I would have gotten more/better pictures of it at the time. But, I have not seen it around town too much the past year, only a couple times :(
the_wizard_of_fire Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 That looks like a Ranger bed _mfpdm_ :hmm: it is
mfpdm Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Yes it is a ranger bed. I think it would look better with the 97+ front on the MJ. Stealing your pic's again Wildman. :redX: :cheers:
mjeff87 Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 That has GOT to be your house Bob.....with a garage, attached to a garage, attached to a garage, with an attached shed....... ;) where you hiding the fleet at? Jeff
Wildman Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 No MJeff..........that's 3 housed down, and the man is a plumber and works out of that garage ;) And I only rent a 2nd floor apartment now.......no more "home-ownership" for me, I'm not tied down up here (hint) :brows: I rent a building 1 mile away, but it takes 2-1/2 miles to get there by the time you drive around all the RR tracks :fs1: This is where I hide all the MJ's - Oh, and no Comanchrangers over there :(
comanche87 Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Is there a chance might be able to find out what he did to make it fit? I might be looking at a fleet side ranger bed for the right price. Thanks
