thecodemonk Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Nice! How do you like the bedsides so far? I keep hearing mixed reviews and always wondered how well they fit up and feel for wheeling. (There's lots of trees where I tend to wheel, so I've always been nervous about that)
1988gecko Posted April 17, 2020 Author Posted April 17, 2020 I like them, I completely cut the old sheet metal out and then installed them, so they fit pretty good, I would not recommend putting them on on top of factory bedside. I live in the middle of Wisconsin so all it is is trees around here, you just have to be cautious with them

Do you think it would be worth reinforcing with a but of steel tubing underneath or nah?

Anywhere we see fit lol, favorite spot that’s fairly close is the pipeline in mountain just east of antigo
1988gecko Posted April 21, 2020 Author Posted April 21, 2020 Havent made a whole lot of progress the last few days, been kinda going backwards in order to move forward, I modified my Ironman front trackbar a little bit and got a low profile axle mount built for it, got the angle matched to the drag link and the length the same
Swampy Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 I have to say the fab work is great. Wish i had the skills. But I do like the bright green paint scheme for the comanche
MiNi Beast Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 interesting as i have read a few others wondering about such a conversion. I appreciate the pics.
