19comanche86 Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 No update on the Comanche… However I missed my gladiator so much I had to go back. About a week after I sold my rubicon I regretted the decision, i tried to get her back but she was sold . Huge major mistake. I couldn’t get back in to a rubicon but I was able to get a new Willy’s. So nice to be back. Not planning to do much. Definitely not 4.5” lift on 37s again. Anyway, Here she is. Some day I’ll have a Comanche update So far I have added rubicon shocks and a teraflex leveling kit. Ordered led headlights, fogs, DRLs and taillights. Oh and I had the bed done in linex Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19comanche86 Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 Just checking in. I’m still alive. Comanche is still at the paint shop…minor progress has been made but nothing to even show or post about. Hoping it’s back to me by may or June. Which will be just shy of a year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19comanche86 Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 Found a few pics back from 2009 after she was repainted in the original color. It looks good in photos but the finish only lasted about a year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19comanche86 Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Well, I'm picking up the truck 9/22. Beyond disappointed but I’m glad I’ll have it back. Unfortunately now the fenders are sanded. so I guess I’ll be running around with primer on it 😠 I’ll post some pics when I get it back. It’s been a 14 month waste of time.

89 MJ Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 That sucks that it took 14 months to get basically nothing done and that it can't even be one color when driving it. Do you have a new plan for painting the truck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19comanche86 Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 Well she’s finally back home. A bit uglier than when she left 14 months ago. I’m gonna regroup and focus on getting it running before I do anything further with the paint / body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19comanche86 Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 Really wish he hadn’t sanded the fender I could have just rocked the old paint for now. I got the new wheels and tires on it. Gonna look awesome. Next week I’m gonna start the fuel system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I kinda want you to clearcoat that section. it looks sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19comanche86 Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 Did some test fitting on the corbeau trailcat seats. Fit is awesome super happy with them. Went through all the boxes of parts in the garage and got everything out to do the fuel system and trans cooler lines early next week. Will update with pics when I get started. also went by the drive shaft shop to get that going and talked to my buddy about doing the exhaust. Doing 3” stainless from the collectors back, H pipe and then dumped with turn downs just past the rear axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19comanche86 Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 Huge day yesterday. Tons of progress. We got the fuel cell, and all the new fuel system installed. -6AN line everything came out great. Also got the trans cooler mounted and set up, did 6AN for that. Ended up mounting it under the bed I couldn’t find room anywhere else for now it will stay there. got the power steering lines done and hooked up, also got the cooling system done and hooked up. got the Intake done, waiting on throttle cable and I have to extend the maf and IAT wiring since I switched the intake to passenger side and moved battery to driver side. I will update with pics today. Still have to do… wiring Driveshaft exhaust ac lines shifter linkage getting close should be able to at least fire it in the next 2 weeks hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19comanche86 Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 Also, anyone that’s done a 4L60E swap, what shifter linkage are you using to connect from the console shifter to trans? All the kits I’m finding say they are for column shift set ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19comanche86 Posted November 6, 2022 Author Share Posted November 6, 2022 Coming together, here’s a quick pic of where we are at. Been super busy with work, have a ton of updates to post, doing that Tuesday hopefully. wish I knew how to weld, I would do the exhaust myself. Unfortunately I don’t and I’m not trying to learn on this truck lol I have a guy coming over Friday to measure and come up with a plan for exhaust. He’s fabbed up a ton of local Supra and other awesome builds so his work is top notch. Going with 3” polished stainless for the whole set up. X pipe to magnaflow mufflers, dumped just past the rear axle with turn downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
