When I smoked those, I got 3 Kicker Comp 12s and put them in a tool box. It was the loudest thing ever lol. The 7801 also blew 4 old school Kicker Comp 15s and 2 solo baric 12s I've had in another car. I primered it and liked the look. 29s from my friend were too small for the rear Did a little mall crawling 31s and Bedliner After a while the Herculiner got dull so I used some Krylon beacause it's flexible. I added another coat to the black areas also put some 32x10 mud claws on it with some spacers. 2" front and 1.25 rear I think An uncle gave me his Ranger grille so I made it work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellman605 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Not bad. I'm not a fan at all of the lined dash but to each their own! Love the grill, did you swap fenders too? or just the front grill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomguy310 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 looks like it was a very nice truck in the beginning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3RESQ Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 just grill, look close and you can see the fenders are "squared" not "rounded" like 97+ It looks amazing in the very first picture. Should have left it red, and clean. Not bad. I'm not a fan at all of the lined dash but to each their own! Love the grill, did you swap fenders too? or just the front grill?

ComancheKid45 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I'm also a fan of the orgional Red Pioneer in the 1st photos. But i do like what youve done withe the dash and gauges for some reason...

manche_mane Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 well, I took my truck to southeast Kansas over memorial weekend and slept in it for four days. let my friend drive it up hill thru the trees to the pond...there went a mirror...other friend got his short wide stuck. I drove out to attempt a pull and a wheel sank like quicksand. good thing for an awesome farmer down the road to save the day with his tractor to get us out the next day(we knew it was all bad but we were on that turkey 101 and thought it would be hilarious when my buddys parents came over in the morning to fish. I think they expected it) well, here are a few more pix to make your buttholes pucker :driving: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1987_MJ Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I don't think I would trust those axles....So the truck isn't even 4wd yet. All I see done was a nice comanche got bedlined and destroyed....To each his own I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manche_mane Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 i decided not to use the front and the blocks are coming offthe rear. i don't see how the bedliner is destroying it. it has no rust anywhere and itll be a long time until it does. if i want a truck to look like everyone elses, i woulda started with an s10. the only thing i messed up was the bed corners which were bent...everything else is on cherokees everywhere. yes it is 2wd. gota start somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manche_mane Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Welp. Flipped the ten bolts and picked up a d60 & d44 with 4:11 gears a few months back. Finally purchased a welder and got to work. Rear is almost mounted. Then I'll do the front and when its all buttoned up I'm going sbc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

91Pioneer Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 As an aside, cindercrete blocks are not jack stands --> http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/Ida-Township-teen-lifts-car-to-save-grandfather/-/1719418/8812972/-/5spmw5/-/index.html Do you want to look like this (or worse)?

manche_mane Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Lol. Well, I do stack wheels under there too when I'm wrenching. Took them out for the pick. When I did the rear I had four stands and they were wobbly Cuz of the rocks. My paved driveway is steep. Never said for anyone else to do it. Thanks for caring tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
