88pioneer Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Very nice truck, and you can scratch the SYE off your list. Comanches are long enough that they won't need a SYE until you get a lot higher than 4 inches, so that makes your project a little easier :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buxmj Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Great find. Where are you in Florida? Sounds like it's always been a Florida truck but surprised it has not had a/c. Welcome to the club and hope to meet you in person sometime. Buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buxmj Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hey Eric, great buy by the way. Sorry I won't be meeting you for off-roading. Mine is not 4wd and I spent a lot of money on a new paint job a year ago and won't be risking a branch going down the side of it. Saw your add to sell the rollbar on CL. There was someone who posted looking for one about a month ago, did you see it? With black exterior (which looks awesome) are you trying to get the ac asap? I know when mine was out during one summer it really sucked. Take care, Buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
