JeepComanche89 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I'm not sure if anyone has asked, but I persoanlly would like to see what mods were done underneath one of these to make this all work. Including the axles and wheel ends to see how it was all adapted. I too agree you should have a long wheelbase gas tank 23.5 gallon in that thing. The extra gas cans don't hurt though. Very true, that would definatly be interesting to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud777 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 I will try to get some pictures for you when it drys out a little. Ben posted some on one of the Jeep forums. Here is the link to those pictures: http://comancheclub.com/topic/36044-the-campmanche/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud777 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Lovely bride and I were thinking about taking the rig down to Baja to watch whales and naturally I started thinking about flats. That led to looking closer at the jack supplied with the rig. As far as I can tell it is the stock comanche bottle jack. It actually isn't a bad way to go, but I cannot find anything about the rating. 2-ton? 4-ton? more? I think the conversion probably brings the GVW up close to 4 tons, maybe a little over. Does anyone know the actual rating of the OEM jack? I can get a higher capacity jack, but the all have the pump levers, not the screws handle. With the duallys, there would not be much travel for the handle. Has anyone seen a larger capacity bottle jack with a screw type mechanism? I am hesitant to do the trip without the ability to change tires easily. Spending the night on the side of the road in Baja doesn't seem to be a good idea.

Pete M Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 that's a good question. I've never thought about it. I guess you could try and see if it can lift the rig. I bet a larger truck at the junkyard would have a bigger capacity scissor jack. good to you and the ol' MJ are out having fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 The 2500 and 3500 Ram pick ups use a heavy duty screw type bottle jack. They are found under the front passenger seat on a cool pull out rack. Get one of those. It easily lifts my crew cab dually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
