SiXJaK Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Nice looking rig. Inspiring as I’m just getting started with my list. FWIW I liked the flares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fryedaddy Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 Thank you! It’s been a work in progress. Honestly, spent a lot of time by myself working on it. Helped me heal quite a bit from the loss of my wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been thru some rough stuff and looking back, I can’t really remember what exactly I learned from going to counseling but I sure can tell you what I’ve learned flipping 2 homes and the satisfaction of accomplishing something I wasn’t sure I could. Cheers and all the best to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have 3-4 Jeeps....I’m the only Comanche but they are all cool peeps. Planning May at this point. still working on your manche? can't believe I am just seeing this now. But yes i am still working on my jeep. tracking down a computer for my 2.5. The good thing is I may be moving to Utah or Wyoming for school in 2021 so I will be closer to Moab then I will be from Florida. Also like how your exhaust comes through the bed, I'm thinking of doing the same, also looking for taillight boxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a set of Rusty's taillights, they don't fit very well but my rig will be a trail rig with a little road driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fryedaddy Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Worked on several small Projects over the weekend. Added an air tank , welded up my draglink, ran breather lines from the rear axles, hooked up the front driveshaft, Due to the Dana 44 front and ford 8.8 rear axles having disk brakes, I swapped the master cylinder and booster for a dodge 2500 unit . The only mod required is a 1/4” spacer, drill the rods hole larger and grind a flat spot in the rod. The original and 95/96 master and boosters didn’t push enough fluid. Hoping it’s road worthy in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fryedaddy Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 Will be going to hurricane creek next weekend. Can’t tell you how excited I am, being able to drive the Manche again and that she’s almost complete. Will be working on small items like rock lights but other than that I’m ready to wheel.

MiNi Beast Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I like the air tank location. Been looking to add mine just wasn't sure where to put it. That seems like a good spot i didn't think about. Dig the blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 That air tank location is pretty slick. I like it. Will you be running air connection to the rear bumper or bed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have air compressor in my cab and will run air to front and rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fryedaddy Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 It’s been awhile.....had Covid in October, put me behind. We ended up going to Windrock thanksgiving weekend. Had a bit of death wobble on the way home. The trackbar came loose 😳. I should have the trackbar welded after the New Year. Getting ready to work on the exhaust and hopefully fitting some 37” tires on it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
