Exxon Valdez Jeep Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 x2 on the atlas. I love my 5.0 :thumbsup:
H3RESQ Posted September 22, 2011 Author Posted September 22, 2011 Ya, had a Atlas 3.8 in my WJ and loved it. Atlas was the original plan, just got into tera pretty cheap in time for Moab so went with it.
simmonsm Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 A couple teaser pictures of the cage. Got to admit I love that Wes has a plasma table. Makes brakets so easy. Also a shot of the beadlocks. quote] Inspirational...

Had to get them black immediatly. The wonders of peoples personal tastes.

Yea I like the black better, but that thing could have stock steelys and still look good, I like the stance of that thing in this picture

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you like were I'm taking it. I'll be adding some posts here shortly. Front 44 is almost ready for instal as well as new tires and wheels (Had one of the beadlocks break in half at the weld, there discontinued so I'll have to go with new wheels instead of replacing 1) Cheers, Jason
Cummins48 Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 The Comanche is lookin great. I'm picking up a Tj to start building tomorrow. Still want to be first on the list when you decide to sell it. I miss it quite a bit!
jeepdoc Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 here's a dumb question how tall is your comanche from ground to top of roof?I'm starting my mj project but i would like it to fit into my garage still.
camjeep3 Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 you shouldnt have to worry. my jeep is lifted 6inches on 35s and the roof is still lower than my dads stock tahoe
H3RESQ Posted November 9, 2011 Author Posted November 9, 2011 here's a dumb question how tall is your comanche from ground to top of roof?I'm starting my mj project but i would like it to fit into my garage still. He is right. Its not a tall rig at all. I fit easly in my "normal" single door two car garage. I'll try and take a minute and measure it tomorrow.
H3RESQ Posted November 9, 2011 Author Posted November 9, 2011 Been pretty busy since returning from Moab trip. I should have some updates on the MJ shortly. Did put some fresh rubber on it. 35/12.5/15 Cooper STT's The axle tube sleeves are in and welded up on the 44. Just about done with all the brace peices for it. I really hope to have it in soon! Cheers, Jason.
H3RESQ Posted November 29, 2011 Author Posted November 29, 2011 Well I've been busy lately so its been a slow go. The 44 is finally ready for install after sleeving the axle tubes and gusseting the C's, lower link mounts and sway bar mounts. Here is a couple pictures. I picked up my ARB compressor yesterday as well.
H3RESQ Posted November 30, 2011 Author Posted November 30, 2011 New compressor, and the start of getting the 44 in. Dana 44 ready to go in.... Dana 30 out and retired | \/ New compressor and start of 44 going in. Pulled out adjuster on Acos to lower front about 1/2 inch. Should get the truck to a level stance finally.
reson46 Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 What's the status of the D30? Is it claimed? Willy
H3RESQ Posted November 30, 2011 Author Posted November 30, 2011 What's the status of the D30? Is it claimed? Willy Ya, a buddy picked it up from me along with the extra shafts I had. Its taking the place of his LP 30 in his TJ now.
H3RESQ Posted December 2, 2011 Author Posted December 2, 2011 Its in!!! Front driveline will be done getting shortened and re-balanced about 2:00 today. ARB wired, switchs are in. Just mounting of pump, and installing driveline is left. Then a alignment of course.
H3RESQ Posted December 2, 2011 Author Posted December 2, 2011 how bout you fix that bowed tie rod! its ordered....lol.
cody4359 Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 how bout you fix that bowed tie rod! its ordered....lol. currie replacement or you doing a different setup?
H3RESQ Posted December 3, 2011 Author Posted December 3, 2011 how bout you fix that bowed tie rod! its ordered....lol. currie replacement or you doing a different setup? Just replacing. I like the steering fine. Its really pretty stout, I bent it with full weight of truck on it facing downhill in the lower crushers (browns camp). It was sitting against my diff cover when I did it. Wheeled it and drove it since then, including Moab trip. Just figure its time to replace and keep the bent for a spare.
H3RESQ Posted December 3, 2011 Author Posted December 3, 2011 Its all installed. Alignment tomorrow morning.
