98ZJ Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Amazing MJ, it's come a long way since the first owner did the conversion, and it's by far my favorite MJ out there! Awesome work man!
H3RESQ Posted July 18, 2012 Author Posted July 18, 2012 JUST SICK.... :drool: :drool: :clapping: I think this rig needs some attention from JP magazine. Have you ever considered a build tread on jeepforum? I usually just keep up one thread, I do not have a lot of time and do most posts and updates through my phone. Did my WJ on a grand cherokee specific site and wanted this one on a comanche specific site. Thanks!!....if a magazine comes a calling I'm sure I will answer ;)
RockMJ Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 build tread on jeepforum? This is way beyond the realm of JF being as its got more than a 2" BB and 30's lol. Looks killer man, props for the amazing work RockMJ
H3RESQ Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 Couple more pictures from initial flex/tune testing.
H3RESQ Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 Back in the shop getting the over cab cage work. Here is the start of it..
ncmountainMJ Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 :bowdown: ..... one day when my comanche grows up he wants to be just like yours LOL... awesome. Lots of pics of the cab cage please. I'm wanting to do something very similar
cody4359 Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 tell wess to build doubles of everything so i can have one :D
H3RESQ Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 Spent the day at Wes's. Buddy Luke came and helped out as well. While Wes got the cage going Luke and I shortened the rear a little for proper tuck in fenderwheels, worked on rear anti-rock, changed front coils, raised rear ride height, adjusted coil stops, trimmed front fenders some and dealt with some other odds and ends. Wes got most the cage finished and welded up and put his awesome idea of using a factory antenna mount on opposite fender for my cb worked out. Tomorrow will be little more support stuff for lower a pillars to firewall, putting cage back in and a crossbar for rear coilovers. She is almost ready to head to fordyce on the 1srt of the month.
reson46 Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Very nice! I want to do something very similar to mine. Willy
89Patches Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 You built the exact cage I've been thinking about, I just didn't know how to mount the front... Looks awesome but know if I do the cage I feel Ill be copying your truck, lol
H3RESQ Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 You built the exact cage I've been thinking about, I just didn't know how to mount the front... Looks awesome but know if I do the cage I feel Ill be copying your truck, lol Copy away, I'm not the first to run them behind fenders :) Keep in mind I landed mine to slider that is welded full length of cab into rockers AND are tied into "frame" area under cab. They are also tied into length of side of firewall as seen in picture. If your sliders are bolt on or just tied into "frame"area I don't think I would trust this design as well. Cheers, J
RockMJ Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I feel like a big FU is in order lol. Seriously, great work. Is the body reinforced underneath where everything is tied into? RockMJ
H3RESQ Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 I feel like a big FU is in order lol. Seriously, great work. Is the body reinforced underneath where everything is tied into? RockMJ F U TOO ;) Thanks, and yes the attach points are reinforced (similair to how the front coilover hoops are (plated)). Wish I could pick up your Mj for a dd. So clean!! GLWS!
H3RESQ Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Suspension is getting pretty close to being dialed in. Jeep drives great down the road. Hope to make time saturday gor a little offroad testing before heading to Fordyce.
TylerJY Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Really loving the cage. I am actually getting a real similar one done next month.

platinum5.9 Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Awesome work on the cage. Can't wait to see the Fordyce pictures and video's.

Crap, I never pay attention, I think like 2200? I will let you know next time I get it on the highway, might be a few days since I just realized I cracked my track bar bracket :doh:
89eliminator Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 um yeah, don't hate me but i am copying your cage this winter.
reson46 Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Did you have any thoughts of putting a bar across the base of the windshield? Willy
98ZJ Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Wow man that cage is sick, just amazing! I am glad you are keeping it a full bodied MJ and didn't bob the bed. The truck is so clean and built just right! Can't wait to see more pics!
