Ha thanks man, it works pretty good!

 

but still needs more done to be up to par with the wrangler i sold not long ago! i like to drive it where ever , beat it up and drive it home...

jamminz.gif Very nice close to the direction were goin.I'm gunna to steal some of your tube lines add them to mine. :D

Do you have any more pics/info on the skid, link mounts, etc?I'm still trying to figure out how I wanna do mine. Id love to double triangulate the front (dump the trackbar) but between the unibody and space limitation I'm leaning against it.

the Crossmember and links are Krustys, there are better options ive since seen, and there customer service and parts SUCK in my opinion suck...

 

skid plate is 1/2" HDPE i made myself with left over material from the 4x8 sheet of it i bought to skid my old wrangler....

 

My front end still uses a track bar as well...

Very Very Nice!

 

Your front end tube work,

rear tube work,

and tail lights are things of beauty! :cheers:

 

 

 

Angling the lights like that really works for me. :thumbsup:

 

Is that just sheetmetal blanking off the old tail light openings, or did you form some heavier plate to fit.

 

Sweet truck,

thanks for posting it up. :banana: :banana: :banana:

Thanks guys, the tail light area is larger that the stock area, it is 16 gauge sheet with a gusset in between both lights, they take a good beating and bend back out easily, a ford f250 rearended me off road once and totaled his front end! i got a couple scratches and a tweaked tail light housing ! jamminz.gif

 

I have around 12k invested into my 1200$ Comanche :nuts: :yes: And thats basically parts costs as i do all my own work :thumbsup:

found more pix of it stock and mid way through original build

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here you can see the only rust it had , where i needed to cut and modify the firewall/wheel well area for clearance foe the big meats!

Also where i folded the bottom of the doors over for tube clearance of my "rock rails"

 

 

before front exo was built

:bowdown: The stance for this truck, the flares, the tires.... Everything works perfectly. That is not only one of the coolest Comanches I've ever seen, but also one of the coolest 4x4's in general I have ever seen.

 

My god, that thing must be a monster offroad... :drool:
