socomanche Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Scroll down in the thread to see a pic of the original bumper on the truck and some pics of the truck post bumper pull. As a side note, I've got the original front bumper with mounting brackets, end guards and license plate mount for sale for $40 + shipping if anyone is interested. It's black without dents. A pic is in the post below. I'm located in the Denver area, so pickup is an option if you're local. I'm posting this in the Pub because the Classifieds was not a selectable option.

socomanche Posted April 8, 2019 Author Posted April 8, 2019 Well, then, I guess I'll get to posting...
socomanche Posted April 8, 2019 Author Posted April 8, 2019 I tracked down a picture that has a decent shot of the front bumper for visualization.
Pete M Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 yeah, so they kinda need to be posts that aren't related to what you're trying to use this site to sell. nice truck though how about stating a build thread to tell us all about it?
socomanche Posted April 8, 2019 Author Posted April 8, 2019 I guess I might as well post what came to be when I pulled the front bumper off... This is the product of a new bumper from affordable offroad ( https://affordableoffroad.com/shop/affordable-prerunner-front-bumper-jeep-cherokee-xjcomanche-84-01/ ), some rear fender flares from 88mjsally, some matte slate spray paint, some burnt copper spray paint, and some spray on bedliner (please don't judge my excessive use of the cheap paint option).
dasbulliwagen Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Ive seen those front bumpers for sale on Amazon. The price is good, but they don't follow the curvature of the front end and that to me makes them look bad. I love where youre going with it though. Good luck with everything!
socomanche Posted August 12, 2019 Author Posted August 12, 2019 Since I put the pre-runner bumper on and did some spray painting, I've done some more stuff on the cheap (don't cringe!). Just to make sure it's still a Comanche at heart, I took it into the mountains this past weekend, and I can confirm that it does just fine climbing and descending several thousand feed and many miles at highway speeds while also releasing its beastly capabilities in 4 wheel low on high altitude rocky dirt roads. The kids loved the bed seats on the trail. Unfortunately (well, fortunately, actually), riding in the bed at highway speeds is frowned upon by their mom. * roof rack (Apex rack $25 on amazon) * roof rack wind fairing (aluminum strips from the garage) * 4 LED lights mounted in the wind fairing (lights and wiring harness from Amazon $50) * front skid plate ($80 w/ shipping from team cherokee) * bed rack (not intended to hold up as a roll bar - plumbing piping / other metal from home depot - didn't track the cost, but guessing around $175 ish when it was all said and done) * soft top from a jeep wrangler ($20 on craigslist) * bed extender (PVC, random metal, swivel wheels from home depot - about $30) * hood hinge spacers for extra ventilation (coupling nuts from home depot - about $4) * hood vents ($16 for two pairs on amazon) * paint rims (plasti-dip from walmart) * bucket seats and harnesses in the bed (seats $40 apiece on amazon, harnesses $25 apiece on amazon, metal from home depot - about $50) * other random stuff like strapping and old disc brake rotors from bikes
socomanche Posted October 24, 2019 Author Posted October 24, 2019 Thought I'd throw up a pic of the snowmanche after some front range CO snow last night. Just need to get it out in the snow now to see how it handles.
thecodemonk Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Nice! With the list of items and what you've done to the rig, you should start a build thread if you haven't already and keep updating it as you do things (to help inspire some of the rest of us)
Dzimm Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Looks good. Have a link to that roof rack? I can't find it
