1tonMJ Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 Hello all. I have been a member here for a few years, mostly reading and posting newb replies. I bought an 88 Comanche Pioneer 4 years ago and slowly have built it up. Most of it happened in NY, I moved to TN 1 month ago and have gotten a lot more done. It started out as a 4.0/Peugeot **** box/2wd. This is how it was before I bought it: I sanded painted it OD Green: Result: I drove it for a year and a half like than before the Peugeot started grinding, So I found an AX-15/NP231/Dana 30 for the front and had a transmission shop install the tranny and transfer case (which I had left together). I installed the axle. A year after that I put 30's on it. I moved to TN a month ago, and when I got here I ordered the Zone 4.5" lift kit for the COmanche, and started install last week. As of right now I am repairing the rear brakes lines as they cracked whilst moving them, I have to install the trans case drop included with the kit, then its off to the alignment shop.

O and I'm liking the green looks good :thumbsup: It does ride a little stiff but it is breaking in nicely. I'll be wheeling it soon. Onroad manners are pretty decent.
jeepmarine312 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 really nice again man, also i got a question. how did you do the paint. roll on or rattle can, was thinking about doing mine OD green aswell, before i saw this and i liked it... and yours looks really good... I'm not sure yet but i will see. but yeah how did you do it and how much did it take?
ComancheKid45 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I think the rear shocks are mounted upside down... Truck is pretty cool, Thats a great stance! Ill have my Blue Truck closer to that someday ;)
87manchenick Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 i am loving the jeep man i love zone lifts can't wait to hear how it wheels more info on the paint would be awesome :thumbsup:
JeepsOLot Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 That is the exact stance I'm looking for my Eliminator! Getting the Zone kit when tax refund comes back. Nice truck!! Jerry
