1991 Jeep Comanche "Eliminator"
This is the current daily driver, and weekrnd warrior.
I put my blood, sweat and tears into this truck. After installing a new interior, engine, transmission, transfer case, axles, and basically everything, I have it almost the way I want it. It is a 1991 Jeep Comanche Eliminator with 154,000 miles on it. It has a rebuilt Jasper engine (about 2,000 on the clock). It is a 4.0L H.O., four wheel drive, automatic, with A/C, cruise, buckets, interior light group, power steering, power brakes, and every option except for power windows and locks, but I will do that in the future.

Street Machine
Before the Lift and tires...Looks like it could have just rolled off the factory floor. |

Thsi is what it looked like after some exterior work.
This is what the truck looked like after I got it painted, and put some new wheels on it. I like it like this, where you could scream the tires, and just roast away, but I am more of an off-road person, and while I don't mind street trucks, I wanted a screamin' 4X4.

After the LIFT!!!
This is the current state of the truck. Lifted glory. I ordered a 3" Rusty's offroad lift kit, and , later(that includes shipping) I had a lift kit with shocks, brakeline drop, AAL, 3" coils, and stickers to boot. While the shocks didn't have boots on them, I went down to the local 4x4 shop, and got a set for $1.00, and put the lift on the next day. While putting the lift on isn't the easiest thing to do, there could have been worse. I had a spring decompress twice while my face was about 1 foot away, but, I eventually got the front together. I have to say, while I would have like to do a SOA, the 3" Ruty's was plenty of lift for a weekend warrior. I already have an AAL on the rear thanks to some junkyard leaf springs, but will put on the Rusty's AAL, as soon as they send me tyhe right shocks. I picked up the tires at the local Farm and Fleet, and had them mounted and balanced. I have included a link to the Rusty's site below. The Comanche lifts are on the bottom.
Rusty's Offroad
This is what it looked like...
What It looked like after finding the best rust-free body in the midwest, that was up for grabs. Graned a rust-free body involved about 3 trucks, it was well worth it after I got it painted. In the picture, I am finished with all of the drivetrain, and its a great runner, but I took it to Maaco, and got it painted black.

Weekend Warrior.
After the 3" Rusty's AAL, and my 31" BFG A/T's. Also I have the bumper thumper, mounted, and the roll bar in for a dry fit. |
Talk about rough...
This is what it looked like as a runner, but before I started on the outside. Sure it runs good, and works, but it needed some visual help. |
