RockinMJ Posted July 5, 2013 Author 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.
RockinMJ Posted July 30, 2013 Author Posted July 30, 2013 Small update. Got most engine bay done and hood on.
Alexia Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 So did you end up selling this or are you still working on it?
RockinMJ Posted September 12, 2013 Author 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 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.
RockinMJ Posted November 15, 2013 Author Posted November 15, 2013 We have power. Installed stereo head unit. Gonna have to swap out the wiring harness from the old passenger door into the new one.
Alexia Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 What are you plans for paint once you get it all assembled? It seems to be going together well!
RockinMJ Posted December 6, 2013 Author 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.
kq.echo.413 Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 Man I am new to the forum..I just want to say my hat is off to you..very impressive build. :thumbsup:
RockinMJ Posted December 8, 2013 Author Posted December 8, 2013 Thanks. Hard to belive its already been two years. Haha Life and almost selling it gets in the way sometimes.
RockinMJ Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 Got some new wheels today. They are Icons. Just wish they were 16x8.
RockinMJ Posted January 4, 2014 Author 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.
RockinMJ Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 It lives. Got to start it up. First time in almost 2 years. It has the Dakota tank. Still have a lot to do, but what an awesome feeling. Here is the video link. No Exhaust = very loud.
RockinMJ Posted February 4, 2014 Author 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
87Warrior Posted February 4, 2014 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.
RockinMJ Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 Thanks man. Yes wheels are in great shape.
Zebvance Posted February 6, 2014 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?
RockinMJ Posted February 6, 2014 Author 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 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.
RockinMJ Posted February 10, 2014 Author 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
