Overland Comanche

Thanks for the kind words everyone, it's definitely been fun but frustrating build in times. Hopefully this year it'll spend more time outside than in.
 
I'll be coming up your way, not this summer but next... I hope to see your progress...
Looks really good so far.
 
Very nice Job! I know how you feel about drive vs. parked time. I'm cleaning up a 67 Jeepster and it looks just like your Comanche underneath.
 
I live in Newfoundland but work in Alberta. I also have friends and family in Fort McMurray Alberta.
I was driving home and about half way home I got the call that Fort McMurray was being evacuated for the wild fires. I have a bunch of friends there, and more importantly my kids live there. So I headed for home and was home for 3-4 days and flew back to Edmonton to pick up my kids who were now evacuated from Fort McMurray. Now I'm home again and getting the kids settled into a new school, I can get back at the Jeep and get it back on the road.

While I was away I orded a bunch of parts, they arrived before I even got home. Ordered 4.5" RE coils, rough country adjustable arms (upper and lower), Rock kralwer track bar. Also in the box on the left is a JCR Offroad DIY winch bumper

Before I left Alberta to drive home (Newfoundland). I went to 4wheel Parts, truck and Jeep expo in Edmonton. Went to the pro comp booth, saw their tires with a "sale" sticker on them. 33x12.50x15 Procomp ATs, $99 each. Decision was made that I'll be running 33s.

Got some black D window steeleies for $49 each. Ordered up 5, mounted and balanced and shipped to my door for around $1100. Pretty good deal for around my parts.

Great deal on those wheels and tires and great combo. Love this build. Want a MJ so badly
