Jakesjeepmj1988 Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 hey guys I'm building a strictly off road comanche out of my 2x4 89 that recently didnt pass inspection. the build is going to be on and off as i am a poor college student but i will update as i go. here's pics of it back when it was on the road next to my old comanche.
Jakesjeepmj1988 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Posted November 25, 2014 well my cousin wrecked it :( here's pics of the carnage
Jakesjeepmj1988 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Posted November 26, 2014 new stuff going on except don't have the trim for the header panel so i just screwed light lights to that
Jakesjeepmj1988 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Posted November 27, 2014 What are your plans? just to start i am doing a 2" lift and some 30" mud tires just to get it out there and wheeling then will upgrade as the money comes
Jakesjeepmj1988 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Posted November 27, 2014 now the fun begins :thumbsup:
Jakesjeepmj1988 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Posted November 27, 2014 forgot to post this before, this was when i took the truck to gather some parts. that roll bar is for a later build . :MJ 1: .
Jakesjeepmj1988 Posted November 29, 2014 Author Posted November 29, 2014 almost done with all the trimming

Jakesjeepmj1988 Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 on another note, i picked up another project today :D i might have a jeep problem
Jakesjeepmj1988 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Posted December 3, 2014 got my tires mounter to some stock steelies for now. only on problem one of the tires is leaking at the bead, i mounted them myself and i think the bead on the rim just needs cleaned up. :thumbsup:

Jakesjeepmj1988 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Posted December 5, 2014 Two wheel drive out getting ready for my hp dana 30, i am only gonna run one upper control arm anyone else do this?
Dillithium Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Hate to be that guy, but you gotta tie away your brake calipers! If they're hanging on the hose, the strength of the hose will be compromised.

I'm not using those hoses i need to pick up some YJ hoses but thank you Get some 95 C1500 hoses instead. Cheap, available, and good out to about 5.5 inches of lift.

benjy_26 Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 I have 3" of lift. All I had to do was run the mounting bracket a little lower on the hose and they fit fine, plus, they leave me room to grow. You might have to mod the banjo bolt a bit, depending on your calipers. I had to grind the head on them just a bit.
benjy_26 Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Two wheel drive out getting ready for my hp dana 30, i am only gonna run one upper control arm anyone else do this? I've never seen anyone running just one UCA on short arms. What's the purpose of this?

Looking forward to seeing more!
gogmorgo Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 I'm also confused about only running one UCA in an otherwise completely stock setup. I'd expect serious loss of caster control on whichever side is going without. You might get away with it for off-road use, but it'll be pretty sketchy on the road.
