Nice looking rig. I really like your AR wheels with the teflon. I have thought about making a wheel similar to yours as my next purchase. How are they with rock rash? Do they wear well or get pretty torn up? You said you had upgraded shafts...what type of axles are under the comanche? The front looks like a D30, what's in the back? Looks like a very capable ride!  |

The rims are holding up very well. Only minor scratches. D30 front, D35 (bleh) rear. Yeah, I really do like that trail. Those where just the first pictures i came too. I got plenty more pictures if you want me to put them up here i can. I'll throw my two favorites up right now...   |

D35! That sucks. How many axle shafts have you broken? I'm still running a D30 in the front with the bigger ujoints, and I've only broke one since I upgraded...and I am not easy on it by any means. Thanks for the update.

Hey, I haven't been on here for a while. Well, since the last time, I have upgraded the front to a HP d30 out of a 99 xj, and brand new rear d44 with chromoly shafts, discs, arb, and 4.10 gearing. I'm going to be ordering a hanson enterprises front bumper soon, and then Ben Hanks racing is going to do a roll cage with built in spare tire mount, rear bumper, rock sliders, and skid plates.

Sweet! Post some pics of the progress and of the finished project. Congrats on getting rid of that dog of a D35!
My rig is getting ready to go under the knife as well. Roll cage, tub work, and shackle mods.

Awesome, that all came out great!!! Did you make it, or is it aftermarket stuff? Looks like you're ready for this weekend.
