I have a '88 Comanche Eliminator. I also have a '95 Cherokee 2 dr. and as mentioned above there's a lot of interchangeable parts. All but the '91/'92 Comanche's are Renix model Jeeps. There are pros and cons to each and guys who would not want one or the other. If you find a good...

akpostal - Sorry for the late response. I haven't been on for a while. Too busy working on my Jeeps! It is a 1988 Renix era 2WD short box MJ with a 4.0L engine and an automatic transmission. It has 177,000 km (110,000 mi.) on it and it runs and drives perfectly. I'm in the process of...

Nice looking combo ... with a happy driver! :smiley_drive:

Thanks Luc. I didn't have the LJ when I started the trailer project ... but I'm sure glad I have it now! The LJ took me away from the trailer for a while as it needed a fair bit of work but it will all work out in the end. There's still lots to do on the trailer but it's coming along.

Still under construction but here's mine on its maiden voyage ... from the driveway all the way around my house to the back yard!

Thanks Jason. The interior is in great shape and it's the same colour as my XJ. The pic below shows it with the seat covers on. When I took them off they were in perfect condition! As good as the seats are though I'm probably going to put in a set from a Hyundai Tiburon as I've done...

Thanks Presto88 & Mitch502. I got lucky with this one. It's pretty much as clean underneath. Almost no rust which is unheard of up here. The trailer has come along way since my last post on it. I'm due for an update!

Here's my recently acquired '88 Comanche ... I'll get around to it as soon as I complete my '95 Cherokee 2 dr. ... ... and my expedition trailer ... http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/148123-PCO6-s-Trailer-Build

What a difference compared to how it's done in Ontario. I've registered 3 home made trailers. The first one was about half built when I got it plated. I had barely started the second one and the third one is an old frame I bought and is a project I plan to start later this summer. No...

Thanks. I appreciate the extra info. I'm just coming up to that stage with my lid. The additional pictures are also helpful. I also like your bullet hinges. I'm doing mine a bit different but those are very strong hinges.

Fritzoc - Your lid turned out great. :clapping: I like that your gas struts can be mounted in several locations. How many pounds are they rated for?

AGREE! Detroitoutdoors ... you just solved a big problem for me! :bowdown:

The previous owner of our house owned this one. I tried to include it in the offer but he wouldn't go for it. :D

Welcome to the site. That looks great! We need more pictures. Of the trailer of course ... not you taking outdoor showers.

Great build. :clapping: You should be very proud of it. Good luck with your registration. You need a system like we have. I registered both my utility and expedition trailers sight unseen before they were even half done. Next up is a tear drop trailer. I've barely started it ... but...

Posted on Jeep Central and Jeep Wrangler TJ forums also.

I did that on my XJ. Apart from the obvious benefits (strength, stiffening, etc.) it's a LOT easier to do than putting in original replacement rockers.

I love the "fake profile". I say that with the greatest of respect. :) The bottom line of the rack gives the side profile look that I'm going for but you've maximized the cabin space with a flat roof. For an amateur like me it will be easier to construct too.

I'm just catching up on this thread and enjoying the progress you're making. I like the black windshield and there's plenty of precedents. As for a "farmer's" Jeep here's a good one ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJxsRatINHM&t=29s

I jumped right to your link without reading what you posted and we came to the same conclusion. My only thought was that the tongue should be replaced with one that went under the frame and farther back into it, may be to the first cross member in front of the wheels. It looks like that...
