UkeeManche Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 This is Manche. He's a 1990 pioneer 4x4 long box with a 3 inch lift. He cost $1000 and came with a canopy and a few spare parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UkeeManche Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Ripped out my carpet and found this... Cleaned it up Used some sheet metal from a Subaru, a few tubes of silicon and self tapping screws. I would have welded it but i only have a big arc welder and I'm impatient.

UkeeManche Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Oh yeah here's a pic of Manche with the 8.8 under him (SOA). So the rear is at about 8-9 inches of lift with the front at 3 and a trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UkeeManche Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 My buddies Rokee with a welded dana 35 on 35s finally broke. It lasted longer then i thought it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UkeeManche Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 I'm now lifting the front with 7.5 inch lift coils. So the stock track bar is not going to work, so I'm modifying it to work. I cut the tie rod end off and I'm replacing it with a bushing i got from when my parents lifted there Jeep Patriot. Then I'm modding the bracket to except the new bushing.

UkeeManche Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Modified my stock lca so that they wouldn't bottom out on the axle mount. I know it looks really ghetto :P, but I'm gonna stress test the $#!& out of them before i do any serious driving. Also got my drop brackets in, but realized that the braces don't fit comanches :P . So i might make my own out of some 1/4" plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UkeeManche Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 All the suspension stuff is hooked up except the shocks. Those are gonna take a few weeks to get here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UkeeManche Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 How it looks with 31s. I got some 35s from a friend that i just gotta get mounted. After that its just the brakes, shocks, and put the bench seat back in :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
