Automan2164 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 How dose one fix a Boring truck ? . . . I'm getting Bord with my Comanche how do make this shoe box more fun ? Mike Turn it into a transformer? What do you want it to do? It has 4 wheels and a pickup box. It's not a race car, or a rice mobile. Just a utilitarian truck. What I would do: Get it running right consistently. Fix the rust. AX5 Conversion. 4x4 Conversion. Brush guard. Roll bar. Bumpers. Small lift. 30-31" tires. Drive the crap out of it. Bord=BorEd. Dose=DOES Rob L. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC-MJ Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 Brush guard. Bumpers. Roll bar. Those sound fun, i think i'll do some measuring and get some steal, Yes i KNOW they offer them but why buy what i can build ? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87Warrior Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Work on getting it in 100% shape by August. Drive it to the San Juans of Colorado and do EVERY trail in the area. Camp and enjoy life. Then drive it back. :yes: Take lots and lots of pics for us to drool over. Or you could even invite the Comanche Club members! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimoshel Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Been over every rock trail, including Imogene and Hayden Pass in Colorado with a 2 wd '38 Chevy 2dr sedan. That was when I was a dumbass kid and didn't know you couldn't do them things unless you had 4wd. :clapping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
