 there's a huge Comanche always sitting down the road from me at a jeep shop, seen it in jp magazine a while back. finally seen the guy driving it today. 

   

it has 14 inches of lift on 39s and narrowed dana 44s.

Looks like those floor pans fit pretty decent.  It's coming along nicely. :cheers:

That white Comanche is nice, he wheels the piss out it. it was a long bed, I believe that is what he told me, and he shortened it.

it was originally a long bed. have you been to no excuses? 

[JurassicJeep24]

No, I have never been to no excuses. Why?

figured you have knowing somethings about the white comanche. 

[JurassicJeep24]

Ah, gotcha, I talked to him at a local wheeling event last Thanksgiving.

[HunterK]

work on the jeep has been slow due to all the rain there has been and school things getting in the way. i got the under the bed sections of the frame stiffeners on from t and m metal fab. terrible fit and they take a lot of trimming and hammering to get into a good stop. i wouldn't recommend them. but they are frame stiffeners, and they do just that.

 

[HunterK]

coated the frame and the bottom of the new floor pans in por15. waiting for it to dry i put the front bumper on. 

  

[HunterK]

made some progress over the weekend. coated the bottom of the bed in por15 and then undercoat. ran all new fuel lines put the bed on and tank in. put the rear jcr bumper on. and went to a swap meet and bought some 97+ doors to make into half doors in the future.

going to ocean city jeep week in august and i'm sure ill go to a couple events at rausch creek every once in a while. other than that ill be doing a lot of exploring/ overlanding all over nj. 

[HunterK]

got the rest of it put together and took it on the first drive in a couple months, did some exploring in colliers mills wma around the house until it broke down, not really sure what went wrong kinda just shut off wouldn't start then tried to crank it a couple mins later and it started just fine and ran fine. 

  

[HunterK]

got home and started more work on the interior, have to finish welding in the seat brackets i made to replace the old rusted ones. sandblasted the seat frames and painted them. in the future i would like to get prp daily driver series seats due to all the tearing in the factory bucket seats. and finish installing all the interior trim pieces.

On the random shut down and no start, it's probably your crank position sensor going out...  When they're reaching end of life they often won't make enough juice when they get hot.  Once they cool down they'll work well enough again.
