So i have been wanting a comanche more and more these days and i have so much work into mine i dont wanna just get rid of it and start over so I thought i would see if anybody would be interested in trading chassis? My xj is a 97 4.0 aw4 with somewhere around 140xxx miles, no motor or tranny or transfer case problems to speak of at all. I would keep my axles/wheels and lift and you would keep yours, basically i want what i have now, but on a comanche, i want real usable bed space. I work at a body shop and have done all the work myself with the exception of rockware bending the tubes for my stinger/fenders. The d pillars were moved forward and the hatch was cut in half and it hinges open just like factory and seals shut almost airtite when its latched. The edges of the fenders were cut off and welded to the hood and i just have the tubes for fenders now. I cant think of anything else right now but I dont want any junk, if im gonna trade its gonna be for something close to the condition of mine, decent body but it doesnt have to be perfect, and good running drivetrain (unless i keepmy drivetrain) Anyways if anybody is interested post up what your thinking and maybe a couple pics or get ahold of me and come look at my stuff.

So here a couple somewhat recent pics i have of my jeep.

Hard to see but i made a flatbottom for the back out of 1/8" plate steel when i moved the gas tank up

Is it just me, or are the rear tires smaller than the fronts?
