Kohmanche 4600 build

[Kohmanche]

Been building this 88 Comanche for 3 years now and decided to do a build thread on it as I have a ton of pics to go back on. Was hoping to race last koh but life got in the way. Picked this up from the previous owner who rolled it on its side and roof, crushing the roof in the back and blowing the rear window out. I don’t want the purist hating but it was slightly tweaked when I got it… the plan is tons, 35’s, manual transmission, exo/internal cage, Deaver leafs, and a few cool mods 😎

Here is the jeep slightly cleaned up and interior out. At this point I was trying to figure out Dana 44’s or tons. What drivetrain and how I wanted it to look.

Pretty much a rust free interior and ready for some much needed love, this jeep was a factory bucket seat black interior and all that is moving to another Comanche build I’m saving parts for. That one will be a daily driver with stroker 4.5, ax15 on tons and 40’s, with ac…

I forgot there was a Comanche forum and Was googling and said hell, I’ll do two forums. I’m gonna spend a few weeks getting this up to speed as the irate forum. And thanks for following along the journey on this build!!

Stripping the jeep of all its drivetrain and getting ready for the frame stiffeners and grabbed a set of 99-04 superduty axles

Axles, 12” radflo shocks, 2” bumps in pinch and pin top for front and back (class rules are 2” travel). At this point I was trying to figure out what leaf spring setup I was gonna do. Either junkyard build, re arched, Deaver, national… ended up going with some custom 61” Deavers built to my spec for some go fast which I’ll share later on
