Tbarber16 Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 Well. Long time no posts. Or progress for that matter. I found out it looks pretty dumb with the front bumper on after I got the front clip on. Oh well. I’ll go a little more in detail of what’s been going on once I get some time to write. But for now here’s some pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbarber16 Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Wow guys. It’s been a while! This will be short and sweet. Just kind of an update. I got the front bypasses on the truck with the help of T&J performance upper shock mounts. And custom fabricated my lowers. I did have the truck in the dunes early August. It did surprisingly well! My only major issue was the drivers side rear bypass seal blew out. Leaking all the oil over the back half of the Jeep. And the truck wanted to overheat pretty badly. It even got to 265 just cruising around. I still have the triple fans on the radiator and I’m thinking I should build a shroud. On my way back home from the first dune trip I saw another comanche for sale on the side of the road. Of course I had to stop and check it out. And one week later I went back north and bought it. So I will have to start a new build thread on that truck. Once I got the red Jeep home I had noticed the frame was broken right behind the steering box. The truck wouldn’t like to turn to the right very well. So when I investigated the issue that’s when I noticed the steering box was completely moving the frame where it had broke. A few things I did before my next dune trip included removing the old radiator and installing a aluminum 3 pass radiator. Removing the thermostat. Adding a OEM Cherokee radiator fan. And installing another fan next to that. So now I have a giant radiator and two high cfm fans. Did a complete coolant flush and bled it the proper way. Should keep it cool right? Wrong. Anyways. I’ll update again soon. Here’s a teaser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbarber16 Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 So I’ll start from where I think I left off. Last I checked I was installing shock mounts for the rear bypasses. Got those welded on and the bypasses in. Then moved to the front. Like I said I used T&J performance upper shock mounts and used some 1/4 plate and welded it to the axle for the lowers. It’s not pretty but it worked... for a little while. Had to text out the clearance for everything and of course had to flex it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
