Well I finally picked my Comanche up
after it sat at my “friends” body shop
For the last 14 months. He did absolutely nothing until July at which point he sanded the front fenders. Called me last week and said he can’t do it and to come pick it up. I went and got the truck, got my money back and I’m
back to square one, Actually even worse off.

Now I have a mismatched colored truck, the paint was shit before but at least it all matched. And the $6000+ I had for the paint job is now gone. I had a credit card and some other obligations to take care of. 14 months ago it wasn’t a problem. But I can’t justify a paint job when I had those debts to take care of.

At this point I’m going to get the truck running, I have everything I need to do that. To drive it I will need a driveshaft made and exhaust from the headers back. And custom AC lines.

I guess I’ll see where I’m at in a year or so and try again with a reputable body shop.

Damn....I've been wondering what happened to this project...
Its a shame that he sanded the fenders...I would have totally rocked it with the old paint! That thing is neat as hell!

Messed around with Dad's "motorized wheelbarrow". I FINALLY sprayed with rust treatment.(wish I had done it YEARS ago...)
Used Fluid Film black on the chassis and "clear" everywhere else.

I had a buddy that bought new Nitto Ridge Grapplers for his Tacoma...but he ended up quickly trading it in so I go them to replace the 12yo BFG KO1's!
Still a slug with the TBI...but fun to row the NV4500. Tires are 265/75/16's on 16x7 Ford Accuride wheels and 2" rear spacers
(Don't mind the old man cap...I hate it...but he reminds me Form Follows Function...lol)

Very nice Tremor. The black and orange accents are a nice touch. Did you lift the front a little bit ? I know the back has that big 2.5 rear block so it will have some rake.
Yes I did. Went with a 2.5” leveling kit to do away with the horrible stock rake. Lol thanks
