Drahcir495 Posted September 6, 2023 Author Share Posted September 6, 2023 It’s awesome, but I can’t take credit for the idea though. I got the idea from USN_JeepMJ’s build up page! I am also thinking about the overhead console I have laying around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomberjeep Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Hey man, great build! My kids love my Comanches as well. The boy keeps telling me that he will drive one of them one day.....we shall see. He has a few years before that can happen anyway. Keep up the great work!

Drahcir495 Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 Thanks bomberjeep! Isn’t it great to hear that from your boy. I hope when mine is old enough he will want to take over the obsession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drahcir495 Posted September 11, 2023 Author Share Posted September 11, 2023 I wanted to change the look a bit on the rebuild. The wheels are a bit too “bling” ish this time around. Just looking to get a more modern look. The Jeep shop owner found a guy who is starting to get into powder coating wheels. Very happy with how much he was charging, so heck yeah. I wanted the wheel powder coated black and the ring polished. The rims were in really poor condition. I don’t think he was really aware of how much it would take just to get them ready to coat. The wheel surface looks all pitted through the coating and it looked like he took a belt sander to some of the surfaces . The ring looks more machined then polished. It looks good from 5 feet away but it’s poorly done -> Dee agrees and is going to talk to the guy and see what he is going to do about it. I believe I’m going to have the ring painted the color of the truck but not sure yet? Any opinions on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I know not what you paid nor what the fix would be, but I wish any of my rigs looked good from just 5ft away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been a good price if it had worked out. $125 a wheel. I am going to let the Jeep guy give it a go at it, so I think it can only get better 🫰 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drahcir495 Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 Alright! It's a really nice place. Alot of things I'm not used to living in Florida. Quads and side by sides share the roads. The best restaurants are close on Sunday which is unheard of in my area. Nice place to visit, but the temperature dropped down to -20 degrees when I was here last winter. -> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 Jeepsticker.com Spencer sent me my Jeep tailgate stickers -> I am itching to get working on the truck. The shop is trying to get started on the XJ this week. Then it’s on to the Comanche right after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 I forgot how good it feels to be out on the baseball field. Even the smell of the grass and sweet smells coming from the concession stand brings me back. Now, I get to just hang out and watch my son learning his fundamentals. Unlike me (the only hit I got was when the pitch hit me) he is hitting most of the mechanical pitch balls hurled at him. Definitely didn’t get the athleticism from me 😂.

Drahcir495 Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 The MJ and Cherokee are still untouched at the shop. I called and he is going out of town for the next 8 days , so I have to have something to work on. I started a build page for my Scrambler above. I forgot how simple these Jeeps are. Not a whole lot to do to it, but now I have some time to work on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 Look what I found in the attic Jeep stash. Complete waggy header in excellent condition .

Drahcir495 Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 One of my best friends was heading to work in his 1987 Jeep Wrangler a few years back when a girl hit his back wheel. She launched her car off it and ended up flipping her car on to her roof. Both were ok and his Jeep only had a small dent on the corner of it. Another driver captured it on his dash cam. The action really begins at the :50 mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
