My Jeep Comanche Story

[MobilJoe1]

Hello, My name is Joe and my Jeep story starts now. I bought it on Craigslist 6 years ago. I was looking for a truck 4x4 to build and my Jeep popped up. It had 4.0 H.O, ax-15, LWB (I want a long bed in the first place) and I just fell in love with it at first sight. I was $3500 in Craigslist and got it down to $3000. Knowing it was very rare in my neck of the woods, other people didn't know what it was but I did. Since then I put 4.5 inch lift on it with 32s, then I put 33s and painted it with desert tan, then I got sick of it and put another lift on it of total of roughly 7 inches with one ton leaf springs SOA. Then I put 35s on it because it didn't look right with 33s. With all of modifications I put it on it, It needed an overhaul pretty much everything. Starting from the top to the bottom of my overhaul : new 4.0 high output engine, rebuilt ax 15 transmission, rebuilt np231 transfer case, rebuild Ford 8.8 rear end out of a 99 Ford Explorer, rebuild and beefed-up super Dana 30, front and rear end axle shafts from Yukon differential, long arms from Rusty's, also put in front and rear Eaton e Locker, 1 ton complete steering from Currie and last 35x12.5 r15 cooper stt pro. There is many other things I did for it but I cannot remember. Oh and also bumpers front and rear with superwinch up front.

What's the source on that front bumper?

Thanks, front bumber is from rustys xj pre runner set up (rustys offroad.com), I think they run about $400ish. Rear bumper is from nates 4x4 online.
