Flugondus Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I got an 88 jeep comanche in good condition. and i finally wanna add on to its off road look and quality with a bumper, a whinch, fog lights and an overall bar. \where do i find products that fit my baby. it looks a lot like the cherokee from that time around has about the same measurements. i don't find much for the comanche specifically please send me links with what i can use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 As for the front end stuff, doors forward, anything for a XJ will fit your MJ. Unsure what an "overall" bar is but if there is such a thing for the front of a XJ, its very likely it will bolt right up to your MJ as well!! Out back things are a bit different......

onetallmj Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 If your serioius about a front bumper that holds a winch then this is the best one out there- http://www.rigidco.com/FbW.htm I have yet to hear one bad thing about them or the company. It just takes a while to get it as its pretty much a one man operation, but its worth it. I plan on putting one on my MJ this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detour Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I read somewhere Ridgco is'nt accepting new orders till June or July, but then again....this IS the internet, might want to check yourself. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I ordered mine, when he first came out with the FBW. It took 4 weeks from when I ordered it, till when I got it :dunno: Kinda a long wait for a bumper. But Terry at rigico was very cool to deal with. no issues what so ever. The installation was easy, directions were nice. The welds and fitment were great. I have been abusing my bumper now for 1.5 yrs with no issues. :D I see they also have gone up in price since I bought mine as well :chillin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detour Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Steel prices have almost doubled in the last 1.5 year... :cry: Along with.....electric bills, heating oil, welding wire, insurance.........its to be expected.. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I know how much steel has gone up :agree: We just used over 250' of 1.75x.120 DOM on my rig :eek: Needless to say my steel bill was up there a lil bit :mad: But all that means is I will be wheeling on 35's a lil longer. 42's and building D60's front and rear gets expensive quick :deal: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I just bought $426 Cnd worth of steel. My wallet bleeds. That was more than my 35s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowey Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I just bought $426 Cnd worth of steel. Ya, but that works out to about $2.50 US. :D I usually try and hide my steel. I just set a couple of pieces out in the garage at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flugondus Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 What about a cage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I was unable to find any cage that was a direct weld in. :mad: The only thing I could find when I was searching was modified Toyota, and XJ cages, unless you go custom :eek: If you go custom like I did, expect to pay around 50-65 dollars an hour for labor plus supplies :brows: it is not a cheap propostition when you use the correct steel. Also plan on spending a few bucks on the tear out, unless you work with a cool shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 That's why I did the vast majority of the prep work for my rollbar and tried to keep the design as simple as possible. Plus I found a local guy that did quality fab work out of his garage (and yes, I examined his work before letting him touch my baby). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catatonic Comanche Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I was always partial to th look of the ARB Bull Bar: http://www.arb.com.au/arb_bull_bars.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 ARB makes top quality work, problem is it is heavy and reaaly BIG, which equals more in shipping. I think the shipping on my FBW was around 60 bucks, where as the cheapest I could get an ARB shipped was a lil over 100. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
