neohic Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Count it up, gang! It's October again and that means that 2015 is 3/4 over. The leaves are changing in my area already. Hell... give it a few weeks and there'll probably be snow on the ground. You know what's awesome though? Year... round... awesome... MJs. We're chock full of them around here, have you noticed?! Sometimes they're right up front and center. Other times you need to dig around a little bit. Here's one! Time to temporarily stop digging and just sit back and enjoy...

Just a few milestones in an MJ, driving test, first truck, first date, and many more, but memory's riding around with my dad would probably stand out the most. CC is Awesome!... Why Do You Think So? ● Very knowledgeable core group of guys that insists on this being the best forum on the web! I would also like to add that I appreciate you guys for all the help and inspiration that you have given me to get out and work on the manche! ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● I am admittedly a sucker for a clean, white Comanche. This is pretty much the definition of clean! Very nice truck, sir, and thanks for building it the way it is. Congratulations and enjoy your month! -Ben This post has been promoted to an article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Congrats mate. Love the Rubi 17" wheels, and the buckets - but whoops - they are gone now. But you gotta keep Mama happy. :yes: Very tastefully done, great mods, and clean, clean, clean. Well done. I love this truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Very nice. Love how tastefully built it is, although I have to admit I preferred the buckets. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggcnash Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Thanks guys, for the kind words it means a lot! Now as far as the buckets go definitely loads more comfy, but surprisingly the bench just makes the cab feel so much more roomy. I also grabbed a small bench console (armrest) that fits nicely.

mikekaz1 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Does that center console have a shifter block off plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggcnash Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I do have the original block off plate for center console service edition xj problem is they mounted something on it so it has 4 screw holes in center I must fix. To answer your question not sure if it was in there during pic or not? Had it in and out a lot. I'll snap some pics the OE block off plate tonight. You could make one pretty easy. They are hard to come by considering they only came in the column shift xjs that opted for center console, because most of those came with no console.

ggcnash Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Also I can't say for sure there was never a Comanche with this option. I'm sure there is someone out there that ordered an mj with buckets, column shift, and console? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJDigger-CT Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hey man beautiful truck. How did those tires fit up no issues ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggcnash Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hey man beautiful truck. How did those tires fit up no issues ?Thanks, to answer your question, no rubbing with the RE 3.5 and 1/2" spacers before I put the spacers they would slightly rub at full lock, although it was very minimal the only reason I added the spacers was to level it out with the HC springs in rear.
