5.9 Comanche Build

[ChopTopXJ]

I took it out on Carolina Beach this weekend. Great weather and lots of nice rigs out there

Also met up with CNC4X4 members. They were great to hang out with and had a very nice event planned

You're gonna bring this thing out Friday night right? Looking forward to seeing it in person.

 

[ChopTopXJ]

What's going on Friday night

 

[ChopTopXJ]

I was thinking the meet at twin peaks was Saturday but yeah I will be there Friday night shortly after 7

Nice pics, looking forward to seeing it in person Friday.

Great job, you need a better looking winch though.

 

[ChopTopXJ]

What kind of winch would you suggest

 

[Steve_Kibbe]

I was just saying everything else is shiny and new except your winch.
There is nothing wrong with yours.
That's all.
Great jeep!!

Jason, my votes for a chrome plated winch ​

 

[D_Pearman]

did you make the brackets for the 50" led bar or did you buy them

I made them out of plate steel

 

[baby hulk]

Is your frame plated?

 

[ChopTopXJ]

No its not. Just some frame stiffeners in the engine bay

 

[baby hulk]

Thanks. Hoping to see your mj in person one day.

 

[ChopTopXJ]

I was in Concord today for a meet and greet that sucks

 

[baby hulk]

I miss everything were was it at? You planing on going to the beach these year in nc?

 

[72Rockcruiser]

I took 8 inches out of the bed

If you had it to do again, would you chop more out? I just picked one up and have been drooling for the last hour checking this thing out. Nice rig man. You do some clean work.

 

[ChopTopXJ]

I will definitely be at the beach this spring and summer. Im starting my rack for a rooftop tent so i will be itching to use it and do some surf fishing

 

[ChopTopXJ]

No I wouldn't cut it any different. I think 8 inches looks perect and if you go anymore you will have to relocate shackle hangers

 

[ChopTopXJ]

Heres the start of the rack

 

[72Rockcruiser]

No I wouldn't cut it any different. I think 8 inches looks perect and if you go anymore you will have to relocate shackle hangers

It looks fantastic!

I am itching for a stubbier look, just my preference. How do the shackle hangers get in the way? I searched some Manche bed bob threads the other night and people seem to be going shorter ?

 

[ChopTopXJ]

I cut the frame as close as possible to the hangers and 8 inches was almost to much on the bed.

 

[Raven]

I was curios what lift are you running?
And wow your comanche is great. I'm blown away by how good it turned out. I hope my jeep turns out like this one.

When u figure out where and when your going let me now. I wonted to go to jeep beach week but finishing the tj drained my funds. Love the tent idea im moding a camper shell for the mj just for camping.
