Looks like a great trip! I'd like to know the specs on that orange flat fender. Any more pics of it?

It was a basic or classic build. Buick v6 auto d18. Dana 30 front and an offset 44 in the rear. Saginaw power steering and a mild lift. 35’s I think. It did really well out there until he taco’d the drag link on hamburger hill.

Also saw it at rust-a-mania but we were getting to your area just as you pulled out. Looked good!
 
Those vehicles I see with "aircraft" seats as I have been told they are called have to ride like shit. Makes my back hurt just looking at it.

If you put a decent pad in the bottom, they likely arent terrible. But otherwise yes.
 
Took the jeep to Hollerwood

The park is a great trail riding park with a few hard obstacles but all in all we had fun

Mine did great until motor started running bad so I need to check a bunch of stuff.

first pic is the view from cabin we rented.

video of some trail riding and part of the windomaker trail

 
So this weekend I am going to check all look for plugs, coil packs and wires and hopefully find the mis fire issue.

The comanche worked awesome when it was running and was a blast.

Ill just say the instant power is amazing.

When running correct (like it did in moab) I can spin the tires in any gear.

to be honest it probably has more power than needed :)
 
Final got comanche back into the shop. Time to troubleshoot and find why it is running bad. Gonna pull all inside covers and get it warm and look for different temp headers, loose wires etc.

Hope to have it ready to go soon. Need more wheeling

After lots of trial and error I moved coolant temp sensor to other side of the block and all seems good

So we will see
