Zachariah Posted July 24, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knucklehead97 Posted July 24, 2013 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zachariah Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zachariah Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share 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 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
