The Story Of " Walker!" Creation Of A Custom Eliminator.

[shawn]

31 x 12.5 on the back, 31x10.5s on the front would look awesome and still work for 4x4. - and would fit on those rims!

[ComancheKid45]

Ha Ha i believe it.....but very unlikely to happen on this Truck ;)

 

 

 

 

Anyway I'm proud to announce for the 2nd time in just as many shows I came home with a Trophy! :D I captured 2nd place in the Cherokee/Comanche Stock class at the All Breeds Jeep Show in York, PA this weekend, this is the largest Jeep show in the northeast! needless to say I'm THRILLED! :jump:

 

 

[Backdraft]

Awesome dude. Well deserved.

[ComancheKid45]

I can now officially call it a Classic 8)

 

[ComancheKid45]

Enjoyed another show today, no trophy this time though but still plenty of attention

 

[ComancheKid45]

Put a few miles on the truck this weekend. I have a few minor plans for this truck when it goes into the garage for the winter, ill keep yall updated. Its been a blast all summer with this truck and with "show" season over I can only wait till next spring! :cheers:

Can't be said enough how sharp of a truck this is. Hats off sir! One thing that I've wondered, though... what's up with the base model steering wheel in an Eliminator?

[ComancheKid45]

I havent the slightest clue, It was either ordered like that from the factory (who knows, lol) or swapped at some point. Its just as clean as the rest of the interior and the previous owner(s) didnt seem like they were into modifying anything so I'm leaning towards a factory optioned part....but I have wondered that as well. :hmm:

 

Thanks again for the compliments :cheers:

I moved this truck into its Winter retreat on Friday. I have a few small projects to keep me after it over the next few months and itll be back in action and ready to turn some heads once again when warmer weather resumes.

Definitely have to keep the PA salt roads away from it.

[ComancheKid45]

For Sure! this baby doesnt leave the garage unless the weathers nice and the roads are clean :)

Do you plan on being at the York, PA Jeep show next year? Hopefully I get a chance to see Walker when I am up there. :D

[ComancheKid45]

Definently! If i can arrange it id like to get 2 of my trucks over there next summer. I wanna play on the comp course and Walker isnt the truck for doing that. haha

[ComancheKid45]

I unofficially kicked off my Winter Jeep projects this evening.

 

Started simple installing a new cap/rotor and wires on this truck, Plugs were put in less than 2k miles ago.

 

On the list of things to come.

 

Valve Cover Gasket

Paint up valve cover

New Injectors

4 new shocks

Spidertraxx rear spacers

 

Keep checking back! :thumbsup:

[ComancheKid45]

Took a few minutes and got the valve cover off this evening. Everything looks clean under there and besides a broken plastic vaccum line all went well. Ill be cleaning up the valve cover and giving it a nice paint job here in the near future. ;)

 

 

[ComancheKid45]

Knocked off the injector swap tonight.

 

[ComancheKid45]

Spent a few hours in the garage messin with a few things.

 

Decided to ditch the likely stock, ugly and worn out shocks with a nicer pair from Rock Auto.

 

 

Cody hung out all afternoon as well, 13 years old and still loves going to the garage with me :)

 

I'm nit picking away at this truck fairly quickly, but still have some projects left to go though before she comes out again next year ;)

[ComancheKid45]

Been making some progress on the valve cover...

 

 

On top of a few other projects i have going on in the garage ;)

[ComancheKid45]

Christmas brought a few small gifts for this truck.

 

 

1.5" hub centric wheel spacers for the rear. I like this look much better on the MJs

 

 

 

 

 

and a cool sign just for props.

[redcomanche]

wow your truck looks great! :MJ 1: keep on going!

[88MJNC]

I love this project. Thanks for the pics and having lost two pups to cancer this past year one 12 other 14 seeing your pup hanging out brought back memories of my older pups

[ComancheKid45]

Got a new O2 sensor and a belt installed on the truck today...I did fire it up and let it run for a bit earlier in the week and it still sounded great. I'm excited to get this thing out in a few months and see how it runs with the tweaks ive been making!

[ComancheKid45]

Today Ive begun working on a special suprise that should accompany this truck greatly this spring/summer.... ;)

[ComancheKid45]

Finally decided to swap out the worn parking brake assembly, I got the old 1 out figured id compare.

 

 

While i was under the dash I found this nice little bundle of wire, This was very likely the culprit to the electrical issues this truck was plagued with shortly after i took possestion, I'm glad it never escalated into anything worse, and I'm very glad i found this and was able to take care of it this evening.

 

 

As mentioned before, there is a suprise coming for this truck....It should be ready to ship Saturday and hopefully be available for me to share with you guys sometime next week... :)

[ComancheKid45]

Finished up the parking brake swap tonight, itll sure be nice this year not to have to worry about the parking brake popping free and my truck rolling away...
