TCAR_Comanche Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Hi all! Our names are James Willison Jr and April Meyer. and this is our 1988 Jeep Comanche Stats= year: 1988 Engine: 2.5L L4 Trans: 4 speed recent mechanical replacements and upgrades: New plugs new distributor cap and rotor new oil pan new tires (though once we have the lift done those are gone.) She is going into the body shop starting tomorrow. sand blasting to start, then dura glas patch work, then white paint and rhino lining from the lower body contour down as well as the fender flares.
TCAR_Comanche Posted May 1, 2011 Author Posted May 1, 2011 the manche in your profile pic...is that the 3 or 6 inch lift ...I'm trying to decide what to get... april is happy with a 3 inch lift but I'm thinkin more of a 4.5 or 5 inch lift... thinking maybe the leaf over method may be the cheapest for me.
MJCARENA Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Welcome, sounds like you have a good plan. Take photos and post as you go. We all like pictures.

TCAR_Comanche Posted May 4, 2011 Author Posted May 4, 2011 seems the bed on my MJ was mostly rust and bondo, Ive decided to take a trip to indiana to pick up another one thats in much better shape for 300 bucks. So if anyone needs a bed ima sell my old one for like 80 bucks...it hasnt rusted all the way thru yet but it needs work. Ridin dirty.
