Zachariah Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 That's right, I blame you guys for transforming my like for Comanches into a full blown need to have one :yes: Yesterday I went and picked up an 87 and I have not stopped smiling since. It has been pretty hacked up by the previous owner but it'll be a great starting point for me I'm excited to start wrenching on this thing and look forward to talking Jeeps with everyone Zach
88whitemanche Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 What can we say? The Comanches are addicting! Well.... jeeps for the most part!....love to see more pics of that rig!

Knucklehead97 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Is that a Rustys Offroad front stinger winch bumper? I've been stuck between getting that or the Prerunner for quite awhile. If you don't mind, I'd love to see what it looks like from all different angles :D but great looking manche dude!
Zachariah Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 My main goal is to get this thing running then ill think about buying another ha
Zachariah Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Not sure if it's Rusty's or not but ill snap some pictures when I get off work
Geonovast Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Nice, you snagged one of the 3 MJs in Colorado that isn't in Jim's yard. Looks like a pretty nice rig. Welcome :cheers:
jimoshel Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 COMANCHE?? Wouldn't own one of them junkers if you were giving them away. :yes:
Zachariah Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 Knucklehead I took some pictures of the bumper for you. Pretty sure it's not a Rusty's bumper (at least not one they currently sale). I also noticed that the mounts are a little wider than the frame rails. Anyways here's some pics. The last is my favorite
rmoore1031 Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 I blame CherokeeForum. But ComancheClub is good too.
Knucklehead97 Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Ah, deffinetely not Rustys. Actually way better looking with the properly sized stinger >.> but thanks for the pics :D
Zachariah Posted July 27, 2013 Author Posted July 27, 2013 Some people shouldn't be allowed to use a sawzall... This is the front passenger inner fender pinch seam At least whoever cut it was smart enough to not cut the driver And the rear fenders got pretty much brutalized Is there a write up or does anyone have any good ideas on how to fix the rear fenders?
mpace6a Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I'd cut a strip of sheet metal, use it to bridge the cab between the inner and outer fender, and just weld it all around, clean it up, and paint it. As long as your handy with a grinder it should look good when your done!
Pete M Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 MJ tech questions should really go in the tech forum. :thumbsup:
