This has got to be one of the coolest MJ's on the club. That stance, those portal axles... :drool: Absolutely awesome. I have always been a fan of those seemingly extreme snow/ice trucks on the huge tires and portals. Very cool to think of an MJ one in the mix. Even cooler for you to share your build with us here. You are quick to answer any questions that come with having a build out of the norm, even providing links to things you got your ideas or inspiration. Keep up the good work, I know you will have a bunch of us state side watching to see what happens next.

Congrats on your MJOTM! Enjoy the spotlight!

I love the almost cartoonish stance about this truck. Almost like one big RC! The antenna just adds to the look. Great truck! Totally deserving of MJOTM! 

[Comanche County]

One of the best MJOTM trucks ever!  So glad to see a Euro MJ, this truck is a beast!!!   . :MJ 1: .

[Comanchepur]

. :MJ 1: .  :rock on:  :chillin: Nice long bed beast!!!!!!!!!!

The wheels and tires are expectacular with combine with this suspension the Comanche is a offroad beast.

Another special body detail is a long bed more difficult to buy.
