Nope. My single cab rockers are much shorter than an XJ. I'm gonna have some made, though.

Alright , thanks man

Fify?

Fixed It For You.

And I just wrote an email to JCR, suggesting a look into the MJ market. I pointed out that their designs for all their parts are widely praised, and I also pointed out the very limited market for aftermarket Comanche parts. I'm sure it's already been considered, but what else was I gonna do for five minutes?

Green2000

they ran MJ stuff but lots tons of money because only 50 people own MJs and 10 of them are wheeled.

I was reading about it on NAXJA, people were *****ing and a JCR rep was telling them about the cost to do R&D and what they would cost to buy if they made them and it was redic...

NewKindOfClown

They could build to order, and they wouldn't lose a nickel beyond the initial design. And with their prices, they'd make that money back with one sale.

Green2000

and you know this from sitting in on their budget meetings?

Green2000

Buy the plans from them and ill build a set for ya

NewKindOfClown

As a matter of fact, I do. It's called a video conference. But seriously, it can't be that bad.
Buy a $500 rusted out Comanche.
Have the R&D guys who are already being paid draft up some ideas
Make prototype
Take it wheeling on one of your company trips (which they do anyway) to test

I'm not saying I could afford it on my salary, but they're a big name company with a huge profit margin on their products. And any company wheeling a Comanche with custom parts and their logo is gonna get attention. Look how many times that Zone MJ has been posted on here and on Facebook.

From what I understand, the companies that make it big, like JCR, have VERY high overhead with Programmable machines...etc....and the talent to make the equipment with them. I have heard that the margins are not that big per set.


Laser cutting, CNC bending and robotic welding...CNC punches, brakes, sheers....

Green2000

Its all good logic in my mind I was merely relaying what I had previously read. However, we both know that wheeling an MJ that isnt bobbed is as useless as a **** flavored lollipop.

Actually....I know some people who may like that....

ANYWAYS....YES! You should bob the MJ...and if you "BOB" a lot, you may want that lolli.....

NewKindOfClown

I understand they need to make their money back on the initial purchases and the maintenance of those, but for product testing, it doesn't need to be CNC cut and perfectly machined. My whole point is parts could be designed relatively cheaply and built to order. They'd still be priced relative to (or slightly more than) other JCR products.

Say what you want, but that Wrangler didn't help me pull Mark out of the mud, and I made it through Rausch unassisted.
