The Comanche looks so good with those 35s
Good job with the door strikers and fender trimming Rudy! The Comanche is looking awesome. Looking forward to seeing you and Janelle in your next video! 👍
Opening scene was hilarious! Drive up, get out, slam the door and walk away, door immediately opens behind you lol. Awesome content as always!
I also got a kick out of the grounding cable still being attached as he drove off.
That opening scene was funny. Good one.
Janelle .. thanks for bringing us, Rudy! 👍😎✊
That fender flip is a great trick! I've wanted to clearance my fenders but I hate how unfinished XJs look when they're chopped without flares.
The Comanche is really looking good! I think I know what you were saying in an earlier video: Finishing projects is important for content. Cool seeing 2 important things being done in one video. Great stuff Rudy!!
Ermagerd! I have been waiting for the door latch repair for weeks!!! Tell me you get goose bumps every time you slam that door! That's amazing!
In one way, I'm going to miss seeing that door spring back open after you slam it. It always made me chuckle.
Hello from Midwest Missouri, that is a great new look for the front gonna be a beast!!!
Omg the door is closing! As the video started and you were in the truck saying what you were going to do to the fenders, I said to my husband, “I wonder if he got the door fixed?”… then you exited the truck and tried to close the door… I said, “nope” ! Omg we laughed so hard! But you said you were fixing it! Yay! It looks and works great! Awesome Rudy!! Loved the video! ❤🫶😉🥰
Love the end of the video. Backing out, ground cable still attached 😂😂. Happens to the best of us . No harm no worries, glad it wasn’t something more serious that could have did some damage or injured someone.
That jeep has the best color fade/patina you could ever find. Love that baby blue to metal fade.
Rome wasn't built in a day Rudy!The best to you young man!
What I've found when lifting my Cherokee is that the wheel base shortens the more you lift. At 4.5" of lift (currently) the wheelbase shortens about 3/4". Doesn't sound like much, it all happens in the front. By using adjustable control arms, it enables you to re-center the front wheel in the opening. Maintaining the original wheelbase also helps keep your factory handling even when lifting. Hope this helps. Looking forward to more on this build, God bless, stay well.
Oh, so that's why the front wheels look a little too far back I guess.
Yep that’s why adjustable control arms are part of the lift kits for Jeep’s, most people unfortunately match the stock length instead of centering the wheel.
@@a1racer441 Interesting. 👍
They aren't called control arms though. They are lower links or torsion bars
That’s the reasoning I used when I lifted my ‘97 TJ. 2” was my limit w/o getting adjustable lower control arms. My budget dictated that I use a 2” kit and my Dana 35 rear axle dictated that I use 33” tires so the 2” kit worked. 4” kit would def require the adjustable arms.
Next, PLEASE cut that dang headliner out 😂
Looking better all the time, Rudy. To keep Janelle happy though, you will have to tackle that headliner sometime soon.
Good job Rudy! Those little glitches with the go pro just make it that much more fun to watch!
Rudy, glad the ground cable came loose without damaging your welder. Good job repairing the Comanche .🌝🌝
Holy cow a fit on the first try! Envy envy envy from me :)
Rudy Stop! You forgot the ground cable from the welder. Great video good to see your brother helping.
I saw the ground clamp got forgotten when you backed out I've drug welder out with me once when backing a truck out 😃 that'll get your attention
+1 on the headliner removal
Even the sound is off. ..it doesnt matter, cause you manage it, you will fix it, and the best is that we see you again, making somethin cool on the Comanche, security with the doors, and security with the wheels... Thanks for sharing Rudy!
Am living in Germany, yeah nothing to do hier, no place !
Whatever, do You know Rudy what means RAD in german?
Or you did it cause you know it?
Rad means wheel. ..! Funny.
Hey, is the Chevy C10 still on the road , with your happy brother? Servus. ...
As for the headliner, a few well-placed magnets will do until you figure out what you want to do with it.
We had a '63 corvair and it only took one magnet right in the middle to keep the headliner off of everyone. 😉
Nice temp fix
Hey Rudy Florida here I'm so glad to see you back in the picture
Ground auto-disconnect......Priceless...Thanks
LOL, the ground clamp falling off as Rudy backs out is the sign of a job well done.
i was wondering what that was... wasn't looking close enuf i guess
WOW man, ADDS , that I ...... well, I could watch that. I NEVER say that about advertisements. Good luck Rudy. You got sumpthin" I'll stay to see what
Love the driving out with the ground clamp still hooked on at the end there. 😂I can relate.
Thanks for not cutting out the ground clamp at the end.
Good Morning from Whistler MS
I was cracking up when you edited yourself next to the footage with no sound. Clever way to make a digital problem fun.
Good job on the door latches! Now you won't be falling out on the turns! Just rip that head liner out!
Keeping the headliner loose was so that when the door flung open , he could reach-up & grab a handful so's not to fly out ! 😄✊
A lot of work to get the doors to work but was done well. Love the satisfaction in your face seeing the door close well.
It's really nice to finally have that door fixed!
The Comanche looks awesome. 35's seem perfect. Awesome job on the doors as well.
Yeah that door not closing when it drove me nuts really quick - lol.
Great job on that door jamb, Rudy. They can be a bugger.
Also we would love to see the Comanche at the 23 Easter Jeep Safari doing some overlanding!
Coincidently I’d never heard of Walls until I bought a vest made by them at IFA about a month ago. I wear that vest everyday it’s above 35. It’s almost my favorite piece of cold weather gear
Rudy I am glad the doors shut now since safety is very important.
I really enjoyed seeing Colin make a few appearances in the video. He should have been wearing your merchandise though in my opinion.
I am looking forward to your next video
You have got that little truck looking good. The head liner shouldn't be too bad.
The door slam then it opening back from some reason had me dying 😂
Looks great. Totally appreciate the effort of overdubbing the lost audio and the outro gave me a chuckle.
Great that you found a sponsor that is well suited for you! And hey, did Kaulin ever get his shifter made from his "leg metal?"
I'm impressed. Now; what are you going to do with that Honda CT90?
Awesome Rudy! Haven't seen a Comanche in years, you'll have it looking great in no time!
Rudy, thanks for continuing to make MJ videos. There's a huge following for this truck
Good job and oops left positive cable on lol
Subbing your ground clamp for a block heater cord, your final scene backing out of the shop looked a lot like thousands of Alaskans during the early winter months leaving work in the evening....🤣
Where do you get a headliner like that? hee hee hee. Great job on the fenders and door. You're great to watch working with metal!
You're making it look like simple solutions that aren't that easy to do, all my respect for this attitude
Never even thought about doing that with the flares, how cool. The doors shutting so nicely is definitely satisfying. Love the video.
Hope Trevor and Tucker join your posse. Glad to see another video!
Rudy, it is nice to see you using repair/ fab skills. somethings you just can’t buy you have to repair or modify😎
I love that Comanche you don't see many of them on the road anymore very nice
I found that thumb tacks hold my headliner up on my Dodge Dakota
I like the ground flying off when you pulled out 😆excellent !
Great video. My favorite part was actually the Walls ad. Your a great face for them. Hope to see more manufacturers realize the potential there is in investing in you.
Walls foe Me,😊
Good bye carhartt, got woke, go broke😂😂😂
Great job, Rudy! Love your videos! Glad to know you WON’T be falling out of the Comanche doing crazy somersaults on the highway.
@hit me up right now 👉@RudysAdventure_andDesign you’re NOT RUDY - knock this 💩 OFF!!!🤬🤬
The proportions of the truck are nice. Good trick on swapping the fender flares.
Rudy, I'm glad your building the Comanche because I kinda miss the old Rudicon. It was like the little engine that could. No lockers, Dana 30 and STILL hanging with the big boys on all the trails and obstacles.
Glad to see u posting again......Comanche coming along nicely when u taking it out on the trail for testing AGAIN!!!
I see you used the easy-disconnect method for your welder ground clip. 😅
The Comanche is really shaping up. Can't wait to see how it is when it's finished.
Well, with the backwards fenders, now the upside down grille fits in just fine 😅 Love that you're keeping the MJ aesthetic, it was such a great rig.
Neat trick with the fenders. Glad you fixed the door.
Looking good , Rudy . I wouldn't mind having a rig like that to cruise the dirty and muddy back roads here in Washington
I, as an older guy, see the combination of advanced 🫵🏽fabrication skill, and carefully, knowing, what your challenge is. It’s a very interesting dynamic to observe,🙆🏻♂️ because, of the personal forces around you.💥
Like, you can pair and assist, any of the best fabricators, and in your own facility, your blazing a trail.
It is because, I’m a jeep xj owner, lookin’ to hand off a 2000, Cherokee, and studying👈🏽 style.
I’ve scribed to your channel..!🤔
Great work Rudy. I was lucky enough to know 2 people, back in the 80s that owned 1 of these Comanches . both were just like yours but were 4x4. Great choice with upgrades and work your doing . In my opinion one of the best small truck from that area. Very capable. Keep up the good work.
My second biggest vehicle regret was buying a 2WD Ranger a week before my future father-in-law decided to sell his 4WD Comanche.
I was detailing cars on weekends at the local AMC, Jeep Renault dealer, and I really like those trucks.
My biggest vehicle regret was buying a Dodge Caliber because those things sucked.
Perfect timing on the Walls advert. I've been needing to replace my oft-patched coveralls.
Cool 😎 like the work you do thanks for putting more videos up.
Comanche is coming along nicely Rudy that's a cool trick with the fender flares, great video thank's for sharing God bless ❤😉👍
More videos as promised. Nice. Have you considering wrapping the truck? We have been wrapping our trucks, it’s easy to do and cheap. Lots of fun options color wise.
As a 43yr old I have to tell you how much I like the Garfield screen photo
Wraps are far from cheap. I don't know where you got that from. They also aren't easy. Guessing you have never wrapped a vehicle or has one that was wrapped
Nice trick repair on the door strikers! You're also one of the best welders I've seen putting steel plate to sheet metal, bravo!
you put the heat of welding in the new thicker plate .. if you start on the body of what your working on you will burn threw the sheet metal ,, Trust me I found out the hard way ,,
@@randytravis3998 So have I……….too many times. That’s why I applaud you, you deserve the credit.
@@brucekrisko4364 pre heat the thicker metal and of course always start on the thicker material. Do a few practise welds with scrap PC's of the same thicknesses. To get your heat and wire speed dialed in. Plus it helps if u have a good welder.
And you are a good welder. @@coastalcleaningandmaintena2884
Ha. The door would have been the first thing I fixed. Thank you for putting an end to my torture Rudy.
This fix makes everything better. Good job Rudy.
That truck is easily one of my favorites, including anything from MORR and Fab Rats. Can't wait to see what else you do with it
The fender flare flip was great never seen that before.
I had an 87 Comanche, not many builds on them, love seeing this build!
Clean and simple mod on the fenders 👍🏾👍🏾 that’s an OEM door 😂
Awesome tip on switching the front fenders.
That’s was a boss move
It's coming along nicely. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep making. God bless.
I just love you Rudy. Enjoy your videos and Al so with you work with your Dad. Keep up the good work.☺️
Nice adventure & craftsmanship! Bought a Walls" Blizardpruf" coveralls (in blaze camo) for hunting, figured when they wore out I'd buy bibs & a jacket, lol. For the last 30+ years they've been hunting, ice fishing, then chores & working, (even with a couple of diesels)... Still haven't worn out... Thanx !
Rudy, you are down to earth….keep it going! About memory, we all go through it.. Matt’s the worst!! Ha, just keeping!!
Rudy, you are a true craftsman!!! I'll feel much better with the doors both shutting like the should. You did a great job designing, fabricating and installing those reinforcement plates.
Great work! But I have to agree with Colin, the dangling headliner is bothering me. 😆
I think I love this series so much more than most is one the ability being shown and the fact that it’s a more rare small to medium “truck”
I wish my good welds looked half as good as Rudy’s “bad” welds 🤘
Good thing you did some preventative maintenance to keep from loosing your passenger…
Nicely done…
Great to see you back on the fixing trail. 👍
Nice work Rudy, it's coming together a bit at a time , the door strikers were a weak point from factory even new, I have seen them repaired under warranty when the vehicles were less than 2 yrs old, my buddy loved these trucks, and had probably 10 or 12 since his first new one in 1985 , same as the head liner they gave out after 6/7 years, they are still cool and the best part was always the powertrain, great video look forward to the next video👍
Wow Rudy Robbie Latham would be amazing with the job you just did. Cool job for sure.
MJ looks good on 35’s! I’m definitely enjoying watching you fix it up.
Awesome! I was thinking you should name your Cherokee WARTHOG! Those shock towers sticking out of the hood reminds me of a warthog
Progress is progress, looks much better with the trimmed fenders too. I agree with Collin, time to deal with that headliner lol.
Sweet Comanche...I like the simple tips and tricks..you have breathed life back into that truck
Nice! (I need to mention that hantavirus stays infective a bit longer in the winter. Exposure to sunlight helps, though.)
I have always wanted a Comanche but never got 'round to building one, so I am truly enjoying coming along for your ride on this. Looking forward to what comes next with it. Thanks.
Looks badass!!!
