well I have been busy with school and such but... I finally got my tires!!!


they are guard dogs purchased at treadwright in South Dakota



they are 285/75/16



here they are under my jeep





i also got this in the mail it is my replacement line between the slave and master cylinder



I installed it, here is the old line and the split




then i started it up and the clutch worked!
there are still some odds and ends that need to be finished: not in any particular order:
a brake line
mirrors
alignment
vacuum leak
and bumpers and rocker guards
and some sort of interior
that is all that is left i think...

also as to the Joop, i will hand paint the inside
more to come

 

Well i decided it was time to build a rear bumper for the JOOP. So i took a piece of 4x4 1/4 wall tubing and added some tow shackles and a receiver hitch and ended up with this






thats me putting it on







oh and what is this?


Stay tuned more to come

 

i dig it

 

less crack next time, please lol

 

crap man having this thread end is like waching a thriller and having the power go out

 

hahahaha, Nice work man, looks like a different rig from where you started, love the *** crack BTW, nice touch.....

 

well with one bumper done i decided it was time to start on the front, so i started with this

i used the cardboard to make the mounts then copied them onto steal, i used this hole and the steering box to mount the bumper

I then added a winch mount

this is what it turned out looking like



i then cut the plate at an angle to finish off the look

I then painted the bumper



And this what it turned out like i am very happy with the look
more to come

 

That's a great lookin comanche, man. Can't wait to see some action pics

 

wow, looks great. i have a friend with an mj, i'm so pissed off that he doesn't do anything with it. it sits in his backyard rotting. it only needs a few things. He got some money and spent it on something ridiculous, and it screwed him, so now he's been using his mom's car. i keep telling him, should have put the money in the comanche.

 

Thats a lot of hard work! Sweet build dude!

 

thanks the jeep has come a long way; it is close to trail worthy

 

I have TreadWrights on my rig too. They have held up well for nearly two years. Do you plan on airing your tires down? I never have for fear for weakening the new treads connection to the casting. Maybe I am just a pansy.

 

well I am glad to here the treadwrights have worked well for you, i am a little worried about how well they will hold up; but we will see i guess

 

I had a comanche when I was 18 too and never did anything this ambitious. It is sitting at my parents house right now in the need of new everything. Props and I cant wait to see more.

 

really nice rig! good work.
kind of jealous. ha
