MJ is dead Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Swap the front clip and doors out for the 97+ one. Or sell it to one of us. :D
Automan2164 Posted March 19, 2010 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. ;)
AMC-MJ Posted March 19, 2010 Author 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

Pete M Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 better gears, bigger tires, and a little lift can go along way towards happiness. :D

AMC-MJ Posted March 20, 2010 Author Posted March 20, 2010 I don't know, i have just put a bunch of money into this truck and none of it was a FUN purchase :fs1: Mike
AMC-MJ Posted March 20, 2010 Author Posted March 20, 2010 It's been running right for a while now . . . I have just found the truck to be routine and boring . . . Mike
Darren Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Swap in a blown 514 Cobra-Jet, dry-sump of course, Stak 4-speed transfercase, 2.5 ton rockwells, and 54" boggers. But keep the body, interior, and bumpers all stock.

jimoshel Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Under the hood install a turbo charged Lamborgini. In the bed goes a hot tub and bar under a red and white umbrella. When a cop stops ya, offer him a drink. Sell me the truck and quit stewin about it.
AMC-MJ Posted March 20, 2010 Author Posted March 20, 2010 any place i'd go wheeling would swallow up that little truck like nothing . . . Mike
87Warrior Posted March 20, 2010 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!
AMC-MJ Posted March 20, 2010 Author Posted March 20, 2010 :dunno: trail riding a 2WD Jeep pickup :dunno: sound pointless :hmm: Mike
87Warrior Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 :dunno: trail riding a 2WD Jeep pickup :dunno: sound pointless :hmm: Mike If a Grand Caravan can make it to the top of Imogene Pass, I have NO DOUBT a 2wd pickup could make it :banana: Although you might smoke the brakes going down without low-range :ack:

Pete M Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Having just 2wd never stopped me from exploring 2-tracks. :D A couple hundred will buy you a locker for the rear. :thumbsup:
freakjeep93 Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 a stock 2wd mj with good tiers has amazed me with where they will go they are a very capable truck
jimoshel Posted March 20, 2010 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:
