I’ve Raptor lined the inside of the bed need to do the tailgate and the bed rails.

Added a softtopper camper shell.

Currently it’s at the body shop getting the dents repaired from the previous owner.

Once I get it back I’ve bought DirtBound front and rear bumpers welding them up installing them. Then I’m having it repainted back to white.

Looks good! How long did the bumpers take to come in? They had some bad lead times earlier this year. Moving back to GA next week and want to put those or the JCR DIY on order asap.

Thanks! It took about a month to get them. It’s lead time was 7-45 business days.

They will I’m gonna do charcoal and grey decal’s instead of the red and burgundy.

Haven’t posted in a while, and what a wild while it’s been.

 

Rear brakes went out need a full rebuild.

Bought a 2001 Cherokee to do an 97-01 swap.

rebuilt the front end on the truck with donor parts from the Cherokee.

 

slid the Comanche off the road after a small rain and did a number on the truck.

[Phjoshuy]

Got the truck home and pulled the front bumper and winch off. Also my dad started fixing the bed rear quarters, I’d say he did a pretty decent job.

Nice repair work! Looks like new

[Pete M]

skills! 

[Drahcir495]

Really good repair 

[Phjoshuy]

I think I’ve picked the paint I’m gonna go with on the truck. Jeep’s Impact Orange! I am hopefully gonna be ready for paint soon I gotta put the 01 Cherokee doors on, and get some panel gaps straightened out.

[89 MJ]

Is that the color that @Limeyjeeper’s Comanche Dawn is?

[Limeyjeeper]

Mine is Chevrolet Inferno Orange. Which was used on the Corvette and still is but is now a tricolor called Sebring Orange.

I got the front bumper back on but unfortunately I’m gonna have to back up a punt. When I wrecked I bent the front of the unibody a little bit more than I thought so it’s not lining up like expected. Hopefully I can figure out how to get it straightened out more so I can have the bumper alignment right.
