rubiconron Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 I had introduced my comanches earlier but I have never started a project thread. It is safe to say that I have been working on my Pioneer since I got it. It has been one of my DDs as well. So lets play a little catch up so to speak. 1988 Jeep Comanche Pioneer 4.0L SWB Auto 2wd 150K This is what my truck looked like the day I bought it:
rubiconron Posted February 21, 2008 Author Posted February 21, 2008 Along the way with the help of this website and some others several smaller projects have been completed. I don't have pictures of all of them but I may be able to snap some after shots. First thing I did was body work and paint. I robbed the red parts off of my Sportruck. When I was doing the body work I found a tailgate in the junkyard so I put the red one back on the other truck.
500 MJ Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Yah it does! I'm surprised you paint in your shop! We always do ours outside, get a little bit of dust from time to time but they are Jeeps and most of it will rub out...
jaekl Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Oh thanks for the cabin fever. Us Northerners don't need to see pictures like those this time of the year. The truck looks good too.

mjeff87 Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 simply gorgeous.... :cheers: I have total and complete admiration for anyone who can do quality bodywork ( I simply flat-out suck at it :oops: ) I had those same YJ alloys on my MJ with 31's...loved 'em except they were a PITA to get mounted on the studs and get the lugnuts started ;) Spot check the torque on them every once in awhile, I had a random one or two loosen up on me. Jeff
Carl'sMJ Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 I'm surprised you didn't take the fender flares off for the painting :???: Paint job turned out great though... looks real nice :D

The truck looks good too. Like I said in the first post....I'm playing catch up. The truck was actually painted in September or October. I'll try to get some more pics on here later for some of the other upgrades. Thanks to everyone for the compliments. I'll try to keep the pics coming. Ron

rubiconron Posted February 23, 2008 Author Posted February 23, 2008 Nice work. What color is that? :cheers: The color code on it is CC. I can't remeber the name but its something like Dark Silver Metallic. Ron
rubiconron Posted February 23, 2008 Author Posted February 23, 2008 Nice job, when can I bring my rig in? lol My dad is the painter / body man. He does enjoy some weekend project paintjobs.... So next time you're in South Mississippi let me know. ;) Ron
