zjrog Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 That thing is way too long, I know its been said. The second one is a bit too short. I drive a F150 Supercrew and it fits in my garage, but I often wish it had a longer bed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I checked, I've been driving a 2003 WJ. :D That 4.7 blows 4.0's out of it's @$$ any day. And I have yet to drive my MJ, but when It's done, it won't be a piece of junk, so HA! My only piece of junk I have is my 98 ZJ, but once the MJ hits pavement, the ZJ is going on eBah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjbliley Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I know the guy who owns the long one. Those Pics were at Camp Jeep I think. I can get more info on the truck if you guys want. He has a few XJ's and MJ's in his collection from what I remember. He is a great mechanic. He also has an older Tug that has a deisel in it. not sure if it is from an isuzu or a jeep deisel but it has torque out the whazoo. If I find more pics I will let you know.

JeepcoMJ Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 what I really want to see is pictures of the frame rails, and of the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I've been wanting to build one of those out of one of the XJ hulks I have around here for about 5 years, but I don't have the time or money or workshop to pursue it. I wouldn't use a longbed box though, I'd use a stock shortbed. That one is very nicely executed, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 HIs CJ10 is just bad @$$ he had it at one of the Annual runs a few yrs ago. I got a chance to look at that rig also a few yrs ago, and man is it nicely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dog Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Bought my MJ new in 87 and drove it for almost 20 years before the wreck. Rebuilt the engine once and performed more misc repairs than I care to remember. I was just hoping for this after all those years of loyalty to Jeep pick-ups. http://www.automobilemag.com/future_car ... gladiator/ I can still dream.

Mountianrider Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Very nice work. I saw a similar four door rig on ebay, not quite as refined, but still nice. Missing the visor, which I happen to like, along with the Cherokee roof rack. Supposedly Jeep quit the Comanche because of flagging sales because the Comanche did not have a club or crew cab. Dodge did with the Dakota. It's obvious that the Cherokee platform could have been utilized to produce a crew cab version. So is this a Cheromanche? The question is, would this kind of machine have sold well enough to have saved the Comanche? Personally, a short bed is the fastest, most economical, and most fun to drive. The long wheel base is no where near as nimble. I think Jeep had it right to begin with. I've converted at least one person in to a Comanche Nut with that Go-Kart short bed I sold him. His Chev and Ford now just sit and I bet he sells one of them by next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
