Unibody Comanche

[PonkyKong]

Dusting off a truck I built to be bashed on by others. Fusion SE. RC4WD axles with XVDs. 5 link front. Leaf rear. 60mm shocks. The body doesn't come off.
57⁰ of incline capable. My only 1.55"
made a tonneau since charging is easier. Drives great.

Had to swap links to make these new tires fit. They just. Barely clear and dont scrub now. Stiffer foam. Better for outside on the rocks.

Took it for a bash. Can handle the ramp. Doesn't roll over. Handles well and looks scale doing it. The new tires helped a lot. The skid pan and design let's you ram into logs and rocks. Just skip over em. Pleased with the changes. Not fast enough to really hurt much. Just quick.

I would trade my wrangler or one of my trucks in a heartbeat for a good. Those things were great.

We didn't get those one. We got a 2.5 liter gas

That's probably ok...they were alright. Cool to see a small pickup with a diesel option from the factory....but it was also a Renault engine so there is that
