as most of you know, i take part in the BF Goodrich offroad series, and over the past 2 seasons I have driven my 96 XJ like it was stolen lol. But the time has come to upgrade, and last fall I found a 92 comanche on Kijij with an asking price of $500. I drove to Middleton with a tow dolly and high hopes lol. The truck had been sitting in a field, but the body ( aside from the rockers and crude bodywork on the box) was in good shape, it had 165K on the clock, and it ran like a champ. $300 later I brought it home. Now I am stripping it down to make a Prolite truck. yesterday I removed the engine,transmission,transfercase, and both driveshafts. Plans are to swap in an AW4 , freshen up the 4.o with a stroker crank and rods along with a few other mods, and beefen up the suspension with a lift in the front with adjustable arms ,and a coil spring setup in the rear. Here`s what I have so far....
