huricane4 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Hello, I'm from Sweden, and this is my Comanche 1988 Metric Ton. Have rebuilt some but much work remains, It`s a 4.0 with automatic and a Sye-kitted 231 The volvo portals are from a Volvo TGB20 Front axle are modified to driver side drop and the "flange?" redrilled to accept 5 degree caster and 10 degree uptilted pinion. Both axle are 7.5 ratio and are vacuum locked (will proberly install 6.0 ratio later) The plan is to have a "SNOWMonster" Arctic truck style And now some questions:) Does anyone have any picture on any more portalaxled Comanche? The only one i found was this What fender flare are the widest for comanche? Sorry for bad english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave92cherokee Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 That's a beautiful looking rig you've got. To answer your question the widest flairs I know of for the front will either be bushwackers or I think rustys off road sells some pretty wide ones too.

To answer your question the widest flairs I know of for the front will either be bushwackers or I think rustys off road sells some pretty wide ones too. ive got some stock JK flares for my full width MJ and theyll be just fine. not a stock fit, and the front have a weird angle that ill have to figure out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-man930 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 has anyone come up with an effective aftermarket portal that can be used on different common axle housings??? You wouldn't think it would be too complicated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huricane4 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Redrilling the housing Did a little flextest, could probably lift 200mm more but the highlift were bottned out has anyone come up with an effective aftermarket portal that can be used on different common axle housings??? You wouldn't think it would be too complicated... A couple of company sells bolt on portals but i think they all cost to much to be interesting. http://www.torqaxle....products/axles/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huricane4 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Got the brakes and vacum system completed... Made a new heavy duty trackbar bracket with crossframe support. Ventilation and Locker hose Ventilation block And the dark blue tanks are vacum storage for the lockers The brake is finished but think i have to replace the master clinder to something bigger. Locker controlpanel The 12v vacum valves did get pretty hot so i installed a computer fan... The next project will probably be a handbrake on the transfercase...

jpnjim Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Awesome build!! Thanks for the update :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huricane4 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Well didn`t have the motivation to start the construction of the handbrake... So i played a little with some spare parts.. Will modified the portals on the truck the same way when i change the gear ratio. This is the result: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
