RockinMJ Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Well thanks to Alexia I now have the correct brake distribution block. I have been a little preoccupied though. My dad and I bought some land (9.1 acres) to build my family's house and one for him and my mom. We are going to be putting in a acre pond also. Very exciting. Well he got the itch to go buy a Polaris Ranger 500. So we drove to Marietta yesterday to pick up. Pretty awesome little rig. So while working my 24 hour shift today at fire department I get a call. Dad and Mom have buried the Ranger in the spring that runs the back part of the property. Very comical . Well 4 hours later of comp time spent from work we get it free thanks to a neighbor and his tractor. Here are some pics. They really don't do justice though. Rear driver tire was completely submerged in mud. Warn winch is about to be ordered. haha. We really know how to break things in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexia Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 So did you end up selling this or are you still working on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinMJ Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Nope, still got it. I did however sale the wheels and tires off of it. It looks so sad. I just decided to keep it and pick up some extra hours at my second job (ems) to pay for land surveyor, perk test, excavation work. I was losing sleep thinking about selling it. It is however on the backburner for now though. I did pick up another project (go figure) 48 cj2a. I will finish the comanche first though.

RockinMJ Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Well I finally picked up some rollers from a buddy at work so I can start back on this project. It looks so funny with these 235/75/15. Better than sitting on jack stands though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockinMJ Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Still not sure. I thought I was gonna get some 17x8 wheels but the deal fell through. I just want to drive it at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockinMJ Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Got some new wheels today. They are Icons. Just wish they were 16x8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinMJ Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Got a little work on the comanche today. Replaced plug wires,heater hoses, and both front headlights. I also test fitted my new seat covers. To me they turned out pretty well. They are just some cheap autocraft covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockinMJ Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Small update. Didn't like the looks of the icon wheels they were to narrow. So I sold them and finally found a nice set of Rubicon Wheels. Yes another set. I believe this is my fourth set. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Congrats on getting her to start! Hearing them fire after so long so such a reward. Those Moabs looks nice. I don't spot any rock rash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinMJ Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Thanks man. Yes wheels are in great shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebvance Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 HOW MANY WHEELS ARE YOU GOING TO BUY?!?! lol Jk great work! Have a question though? You went with the Cherokee lift right? I thought the leafs were different lengths than the Comanche? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinMJ Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Haha yeah I have been through some wheels. Yes the lift is for a cherokee but I specified when ordering for the full aal. That was pretty much the only difference between the comanche and cherokee lift. I would have got the comanche specific lift but the cherokee lift was on sale.

Alexia Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Glad to hear it running and that you are still working on it after all this time. :D Those Icon rims... Mmm, one of my favorite. They are hard to find in great condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinMJ Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Yeah still working on after all this time. haha Yeah I love the icon wheels also. They were just to narrow. That is why I went back to my beloved Moabs. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
