f1tbiker6 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 some of you might remember i had a 2wd comanche a couple years ago. well I'm back, and ive got one thats 4x4!!!! 4.0 6cyl, 4x4, shortbed, dana 35 5spd, the rare black and white buckets, only rust is along the bottom of the doors, and above the rear wheels. none on the floors! Has a 3" "lift" on it.. the guy just stacked spacers in there. needs a downpipe. brakes need to be bled. e-brake needs to be adjusted. needs all the interior pieces put in. here's some pics of day 1. the downpipe needs replacing, so i pulled that out, giant hole, picking up the new one this weekend. also found a set of 3.5" clayton springs ill swap in. gotta find some quick disco's and lca's. floors are por 15'd, just dirty fancy shift knob from my integra :clapping: downpipe carnage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrawombat Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Saw this up on Craigslist for a month or so. His price started around $3500. What'd you wind up getting it for, if you don't mind me asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1tbiker6 Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 yea lol, his asking price was absolutely outrageous. we agreed on 1600, and he delivered from jersey, when he got to my place i told him it needed alot more work then he had originally told me. i gave him 1400 for it, and i still think he got a little much out of the deal.

terrawombat Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 That deal isn't too bad if the drivetrain is in pretty good shape and the rust is limited to the bottom of the doors. Looks like you got some extras with it, too, like the rollbar, which I still want to take off your hands, just don't know when I can get it.

f1tbiker6 Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 terrible @#$%ng day. today i planned to put the 3.5" clayton springs in up front. took a hour just to get one stock spring out. when i went to loosen the spring compressor the weld on the nut broke. that was exciting. so now I'm stuck with no passenger side spring in, the jeep up on jacks, and no money to go rent a new spring compressor because i had to terminate my credit card because it got stolen. when my dad gets home hopefully he rents it for me and i can get this done by tomoro. update: got to autozone. rented the spring compressor, very nice quality, and got the job done in very little time. pics from the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
