Comanche build - Unicorn lives on.

[FSU Off-Road]

Glad to see this thing still a working progress... I was beginning to get worried.

 

[BRUISER]

Picked up some more parts

 

[BRUISER]

Time to get back on this

Cleaned up the shop and then tried to use lift and bam seal broke on the ram on lift.

So need to fix that than get motor installed

 

[BRUISER]

Mocking up motor

 

[BRUISER]

Motor is in, axle, shocks, links and limit straps in.

 

[BRUISER]

Was having a hard time working on the motor, so I made a change.

Still, it looks like it is all there until you open the hood. Now I can easily work on the entire motor with no issues.

I must say I do love cutting stuff

 

[BRUISER]

Rebuilt both axles and added a high9 to the front

Time to get back to work

Love this thread. I also love that you have started with just a shell of rig and are building from scratch and making faster work that @NickMaul has in just a one ton swap

 

[BRUISER]

Had to tear apart another Comanche so I can fix stuff on this one

 

[BRUISER]

Transmission going in

 

[BRUISER]

And then. ....

I kept having hard a time getting headers to work. And remember this is my second set.

They sent me non matching headers a second time

 

[BRUISER]

Made a new tranny mount

Next is to work on transfer case mount

 

[BRUISER]

Time to clean the atlas and rotate the studs

 

[BRUISER]

More progress

 

[BRUISER]

Pics of atlas and driveshafts

 

[BRUISER]

Test fitting grill. It will be highly modified

Also finished the transmission mount.

 

[BRUISER]

Back on the Comanche.

Need to get the headers in so I can move forward

I must have missed how you were doing that front shaft...what was it interfering with?

What are you referring to?

 

[BRUISER]

Sometimes you have to cut stuff. Don't worry it will be braced up later

 

[BRUISER]

Just could not help myself and had to fix the damaged body panels
