dragordie Posted February 13, 2014 Author Posted February 13, 2014 I have navagated this site from end to end. I now can't even find the picture on bing or google.
88whitemanche Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 If you look in YouTube you can find a few trail rides from that same guy or new owner
Blue88Comanche Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Did you click the link I provided in the spoiler? I searched "tube bed" it was on the first page.
jvd Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 That was sir simons truck, I bought his jrc sliders when he got the bed tubed, sold it to somebody a couple years ago
dragordie Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 Sorry Blue88Comanche i did not click your link. Thank you for the spoiler link.
WildcoyoteComanche88 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I had this picture on my phone. Good looking rig
dragordie Posted February 15, 2014 Author Posted February 15, 2014 I guess I might not belong on this site due to I have been building jeeps for hard core off roading and I have not but wanted to build a Comanche.So came across that picture which stricked my interest to do a bed build on my Grand Cherokee. A tree fell on it and its cut like a 2 door what I call Grand Camino.
Blue88Comanche Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 You are welcome here, the site is for those who ever wanted, has, or had a Comanche. If you are a Comanche fan then you are good to go! Your ZJ conversion looks great!
dragordie Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 Ok now can anyone give me some idea as how to cut from the front of the back doors to the tail lights off my grand so I can build a tube bed. I know i will need frame stiffners. from that point on is my question.I think the sub frame on the Comanche is boxed out and build stronger than my grand.
onlyinajeep726 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 I think the sub frame on the Comanche is boxed out and build stronger than my grand. You'd be correct in the assumption since the bed portion of the Comanche is a true frame where as on the ZJ it's all unibody. Frame stiffners would be a must and some level of reinforcement in the back of the "cab" on your ZJ would be a good idea. As to how to do that... I don't know since I'm not a welder and don't really know how to go about something like that.
HOrnbrod Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 This might give you some ideas..... Image Not Found http://comancheclub.com/topic/18219-german-mjzj/?hl=german
Incommando Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 The Chinese made an a total knock-off of a Jeep Liberty pick-up a few years back. Hey, it's not really a copy... they used an 8-slot grille not a 7....
Mathias Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Incommando, What company made that truck and what did they call it?
a4xnut Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Beijing Auto Works (BAW - aka Beijing Jeep, the first joint venture between a western auto maker and China) made it... haven't found a name. Appears to be a concept build. http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/12/beijing-auto-works-pondered-jeep-liberty-pickup/ Now if you could get a hold of a front clip from a late model Chinese XJ - like this 2004 BAW BJ2500, you could have a unique MJ update!
