Whats up?Been lurking here for awhile and decided to post up some pics of my jeep comanche I`m working on.I have been into woodsbuggys for about 12 years and this is my first 4x4 so be easy on me.I am building an exo cage for it the bed was completely rusted and so were the fenders and floorboards so there all gone and floors fixed with 18ga steel the cage is 1 1/2 dom tubing,I just have the cab done because I`m planning on 4 link for the rear and cutting the frame off behind the cab and tubing it,andybody got some good info on 4 link doesn`t look to be that difficult.

Sweet. Looks like you have a helper there. What kind of tries are those? They look like Gumbo Mudders.

Got some more tubing and this is what I did sat night its short because I am going to 4 link the rear and cut frame off right behind the cab and tube it so this will be the finished length,I want to drive soon so I will finish 4 link this winter when I am laid off and just brace this to frame for now and cut off what I don`t need.
