Hey all! Just wanted to share the excitement I'm feeling for getting my second comanche. Seller up in LA gave me a killer deal for a manche with a rebuilt transmission and engine, 4.5in lift, 5 speed manual, 4wd works. Upgraded brake lines and diffs. Needs a little bit of aesthetic love as all manches do but get this: No rusted floor pans. Found me a uni

Hello all! 
 

i wanted to share my story, mainly because it has a happy ending. The other week i came out to find my Comanche in my apartment parking spot on bricks like a 90s TV show. They had taken my 15” pro comp vintage wheels from the previous owner and my 32” BF Goodrich tires that had some good life still left in them. At the end of the day I wasn’t too mad about losing the wheels as I was about having to pay the new wheel and tire price. Well, after a long stressful week, I have new wheels and tires!

 

Posting this as a PSA for you guys living in big cities like me. Apparently I’m the 30th person to have this happen to them in northern San Diego. I’ve invested in advanced wheel locks now so hopefully I can sleep a little better knowing that they’re secure to my car. 
 

threw a couple pics so you guys can see how absurd the situation was and how nice the new tires are. I went with a newer brand of wheel the 4wd parts guys recommended nomad 501 convoys.

 

and since I had BFGs on before I got 33x10.5 15r tires to throw on them. I’m very happy with the results as I’ve wanted black rims and 33s for some time now.

Way to see the silver lining. The new shoes look great! It’s very unfortunate that we live in a world where you can come out to no tires on your rig but those new wheel locks should help! How much lift are you rocking?

um, congrats?    the new shoes look great!

 

 

found your original purchase thread and merged the 2 together.

I am sorry to hear that but happy to know you didn't put your Comanche up on cement blocks to work on it! Very nice-looking MJ

Glad that you made the best of an unfortunate situation.  It's stories like this that makes me happy to live where I do.

 

Your Comanche looks great, white with a black grill is one of my favorite combos.
