onebigmj Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 My Comanche is in storage for the winter so I’ve been working on my 2004 tj. I’ve had the Jeep for 10yrs and 10yrs of hard use in PA. did a number on her. Not to mention some wheeling scars and a rollover at 55mph. Few before pictures for reference.

onebigmj Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 Here’s how it’s sitting now. I have pictures of most of the work but they’re not that exciting. 3.5in RK longarm kit, carbon off-road shafts, sleeved gusseted front axle blah blah blah. Entire frame, axles and anything else made of metal was sand blasted and epoxy primed and painted. New tub got the same treatment but was done in desert sand monstaliner. Still lots to do but the plan is to have it done and drive it to Daytona for Jeep beach in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drahcir495 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Now that’s impressive! What is the story behind the roll over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving too fast and hit a patch of anti skid during the spring thaw and lost it. Just me being an idiot. We got the Jeep on it’s wheels and drove it 7mi like that... We hammered and pushed and straightened it out and had it on a ride 2 days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Weedville....had to look that one up on the Google machine LOL. You are from that part of PA that noone is ever from, anyone there is either from "around Pittsburgh" or "around Philly". I'm from Johnstown originally (was just up there last week for Turkey day). VERY nice work on the TJ so far, please keep the thread updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onebigmj Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 My new tire and wheel setup finally came. Figured it was a good opportunity to pull it out and get the dust washed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I kinda like the aluminum look. It won’t get run in the winter so I think they’ll hold up ok...I hope haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 oh, I'm sure they will hold up fine it's just for some reason the ocd in my brain keeps wanting them to either be black or bronze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
