imstuck Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Just a few pics of my Comanche Eliminator after a 97 up Cherokee nose job,2011 Rubicon wheels,3" lift,and Liberty Renegade light bar.
Rymanrph Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 I really like the way that liberty light bar looks. Where did you get it? Every where I looked for one, they wanted crazy money for them. Nice truck.
Dirteatr717 Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 You son of a monkeys uncle! That is the most beautiful streetable Manche I've ever seen, absolutely love it dude! Want to share some more pics and details about the truck? -Nick
banshee Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 :agree: HOTT Totally love the light bar, home run, best idea i've seen?? B...
neohic Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Aren't those the JK style wheels? If so... wheel adapters? Axle swaps? :hmm:
terrawombat Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Aren't those the JK style wheels? If so... wheel adapters? Axle swaps? :hmm: I believe he said wheel adapters in another thread.
imstuck Posted September 7, 2011 Author Posted September 7, 2011 Wow thanks, guys I'm humbled by the responses considering some of the MJs ive seen on here. Yes those are KJ wheels with adaptors and the light bar I found on E bay for $279 plus $59 shipping. I'm still wet sanding and buffing the new front end and will post some more pics later. Now looking for a proper fitting tonneau. Any ideas? Ive heard a ranger one is close but what years?
imstuck Posted September 7, 2011 Author Posted September 7, 2011 here's a few more pics. Waiting for my new Hanson rear bumper to come to replace the slightly damaged stocker.
imstuck Posted September 9, 2011 Author Posted September 9, 2011 Thanks alot! Spoke to Hanson Bumpers last nite and they assured me my bumper will be shipped today. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! I ordered mine in gloss black instead of the semi gloss. They tried to steer me away from this but I just don't thing anything but gloss would look right because of the front bumper on my 97+ nose is shiny. It's taking a while but the sales guy David Kampa has been doing a good job keeping me updated on the progress. Apparently they only tool up for these bumpers as demand requires and then tear down and build something else. Hope to have pics to send you next week with it on! If anyone wants my old bumper they can have it for free. Gotta warn you though it looks nicer then it is. That center section is rusty inside (the only speck of rust on the entire truck) and you could not tow from there.
HOrnbrod Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Veeeeeery excellent mate! That front end sure looks nice. One suggestion: Since you have the chrome door handles and mirror, it's just crying out for a chrome grill. That would top it off nicely. Chrome and black...... :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:
imstuck Posted September 10, 2011 Author Posted September 10, 2011 Thanks, I thought about a chrome grill but to me it makes the truck look a little dated. Once I put the chrome Jeep letters and chrome Comanche badges on I think it will look a little shinier. Plus I bought a couple trail rated badges to go under the Comanche badges too.
HOrnbrod Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Plus I bought a couple trail rated badges to go under the Comanche badges too. That's a joke. Right? Thanks, I thought about a chrome grill but to me it makes the truck look a little dated. Dated? You see how all the new truck grilles look now? Chrome is back, and is still the King! I'm only kidding. I love your truck and what you have done. Love chrome too. :cheers:
87Warrior Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Beautiful truck! I really like how shiny it is. That is pretty darn rare for these trucks :D I have to agree with Don about the Trail Rated badges. PM sent in regards to the rear bumper :cheers:
COMJNUT Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 as a fellow owner of a purdy truck, yours is a purdy one also.
imstuck Posted September 11, 2011 Author Posted September 11, 2011 Great now you guys have me considering a chrome grill. This could cost me money,send some please! And not joking about the badges. Hell its a Jeep and its a lot more trail ready then one of those junk Compasses that they are on! Lol! Oh and about the free bumper, would rather someone pick it up versus ship it. You can call me@ 814-460-1899 if need be. Thanks Ricky
imstuck Posted September 11, 2011 Author Posted September 11, 2011 Oh and comjnut thats a sweet MJ! Want that rearend and posi! Hey, what brand and model is your tonneau cover made for? That looks great and I want one too!
HOrnbrod Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 No chrome! Rob Don't listen to him. Rob has very poor taste. :yes:
Automan2164 Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Hey... Is what it is. The Eliminators were a monotone truck. Color keyed everything, and if it wasn't color, it was blacked. The ultimate sleek sleeper. Any chrome on an Elim should be blasphemy. :nuts: Chrome is for "da hood" and retiree's. Rob :D
COMJNUT Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Oh and comjnut thats a sweet MJ! Want that rearend and posi! Hey, what brand and model is your tonneau cover made for? That looks great and I want one too! the posi is just a two hour install at most. The only downside to the rearend is I cannot put a locker in it...nobody makes one for it that I have found. The topper was on it when I purchased it, but I know it came from somewhere in colorado springs area...or it might have been ordered and shipped in. I priced them out for insurance purposes and they came to be around $800 for the aluminum diamond plate toppers. This one is so light, I can easily lift it off myself. I have thought of going with a chrome grill myself, try it and see if you like it, you can always sell it if you don't.
imstuck Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 These darn guys have me thinking about the chrome. We will see. still got that wet sanding and buffing to finish. Man I hate that crap!
yellaheep Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Nice truck! We have something in common......... :cheers:
