1eliminator1 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 1989 jeep comanche eliminator. it makes driving that much more interesting. got it last march, just been slowly changing everything, going to get ready for a 99' swap has some rust at bottom of doors and what used to be rocker panels, bed is clean the day i bought it removed side decals, 2 inch coil spacers, and put 98 zj honeycomb looking wheels on its counterpart swapped grill
btm24 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Oh man at 1st I was like ok just a bit of rust but then I kept going and OMG! I'm so sorry Brandon
1eliminator1 Posted January 2, 2011 Author Posted January 2, 2011 well... i have the floor pan for the driver side, the passengers side is actually still good. i am going to replace my rocker panels with rectangular steel tubing anyway. and i am just going to swap the doors from my cherokee over which has no rust. so it will all be gone in not too long
drase Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Like those ZJ wheels, was going to go that route with my MJ, but got free TJ rims.
Rymanrph Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 That XJ looks pretty clean to strip. I didn't feel so bad about mine since it had been wrecked and the paint was shot.
comanche12 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 sweet mj and btw-you live close to me so we should greet someday :thumbsup:
Automan2164 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Good to see you back around here. I was wondering if you were still playing with it. I really like what you did with those ZJ rims. I have a set in the attic I was going to do away with, but they look darn good with the inset's painted black. Next time we all get together you should hang out. We usually do a junkyard run to LKQ in Rockford every few months. PM me your phone number, and I'll shoot you a text if you don't check back here often. Also, What are you doing with the rims on your donor XJ? :brows: Rob L.
1eliminator1 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Posted May 30, 2011 trimmed fenders, custom shackles, and a little bigger tires
SW86 Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 love those rims man and the front fender trimming really does give any XJ/MJ a whole new attitude. one of the first things i did to mine :thumbsup:
1eliminator1 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Posted October 10, 2011 Soon the 97+ grille will be on her. Getting cab corners next weekend, and then rectangular tubing for the rock sliders/rocker panels. the rust is going away :thumbsup:
1eliminator1 Posted November 7, 2011 Author Posted November 7, 2011 So the front axle disconnect is gone, put a straight axle through it. And now it has a 99 front end on it :thumbsup:
1eliminator1 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 I haven't been on in while. But that doesn't mean that the mj hasn't been worked on. It now has the 99 front end and doors on it with a working power drivers window! wooooo! And the other day my brother discovered that it has a d44 out of a cherokee in the rear. That means when I can afford tires they will be 33's not 32's. Next step is to finish trimming the bedsides
1eliminator1 Posted April 1, 2013 Author Posted April 1, 2013 As it looks now after I rinsed the winter salt off
1eliminator1 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 Time to get rid of the dreaded cab corner/rocker panel rust and replace it with some real metal. What is goin in And the right side is finished :thumbsup:
