Default Just another Comanche

This one is presently in cold storage. I'm out of indoor space. It's an '89 converted 4WD, 4.0, auto, shortbed. It's an ugly mutt, but I have colossal plans. (Don't we all.) I fondly dubbed it "Project Guilty Pleasure". It's # 3 and requires far too much time and $$$.

You're beginning to seem a little Comanche greedy! leave some for the rest of us! Just kidding, they look great. I just picked up an 89' 2wd shortbed thats rust free and has an HO conversion done already, seeing this one makes me not want to cut it up and make a short course racer out of it!

That's how I acquired it, as in already completed. I did add the Hutchinson Rock Monster bead locks and BFG KM2s.

The inner fender on both sides had holes from being penetrated by the disconnects. The holes are no longer present.
