Project Comanche - Fixed Yoke Kit
The Comanche driveline gets an update with the addition of an SYE kit. Installing a suspension lift and big tires has an effect on every related component and will often find your vehicle's weakest link and exploit it. If this happens out in the wilderness, it can make for a long day. I'll take the convenience of floorjacks and air tools instead of blocking the middle of the trail.
Cutting the Comanche flares. Making tires fit without adding more lift
While the addition of locking differentials and lower gears greatly improves off road prowess, they mean nothing if you cannot even make it to the trail. For a few hundred dollars and a day's labor, the Project Comanche now has all of the necessary clearance to travel down the road or down the trail. For a vehicle that is used on a daily basis for everything from commuting to parts running to trail scouting, minimized down time and proper clearance are essential.
Oasis II Rooftop Tent
Rogue River Trading is pleased to announce the new Oasis II rooftop tent designed to keep you comfortable up out of the elements and away from the creepy crawly creatures on the ground. Using modern lightweight waterproof materials the tent has great strength and durability and yet weighs less than 40lbs complete. The Oasis 2 vehicle camping tent offers comfort, convenience, and ease of use untouched by the competition.
discos2.jpg Project Comanche- Sway Bar Disconnects
The idea behind this Comanche project is to make a vehicle that is capable on the trail without sacrificing too much in terms of daily driving, reliability, or versatility. Another prime motivation is getting the most bang for my buck, since I already have a dedicated trail rig that gobbles up funds almost as quickly as rocks. Since I currently have open differentials, keeping the tires in contact with the ground is critical. An easy way to gain articulation is to disconnect the front sway bar.
