Re: Marksmann GPS

The screen fit great but I ran into a problem with the video playback software that wouldn't properly scale to fill the screen after I moved some stuff around. I haven't had time to sit down again with it due to my crappy work schedule. Once I'm able to sit down with them again I should be able to g...

Re: Oklahoma City 95 JP12

I wrapped up the wiring on the spotlights and had to give them a test. The wiring bundle was run through some large heatshrink tubing and brought through the side of the Jeep with a rubber grommet. https://i.postimg.cc/cCpfZCQv/PXL-20220415-235857024.jpg I then took all the wheels back off and had t...

Re: JP15, crunch for june

Love the progress! Did the trim that was riveted in come off without much fuss? I'll need to pull mine before I start prepping for paint. Would love to hear more about the DMC-12; that's one of my dream cars.

Re: Oklahoma City 95 JP12

Where did you get the green floor mats from? The floor mats are from ACC and made with the same carpet as the interior carpet. I ordered them from RockAuto (part number 9542160) for about $75. They also have the mats with an embroidered Jeep logo for around $100. The one in “7980 - dark green”? Tha...

Re: Oklahoma City 95 JP12

Both people that were going to spray the lights for me suffered some major life-altering events so I finally decided to buy a spray gun and do them myself. Sprayed the shells and light ring clips in Sand Beige and took the opportunity to do some minor touchups to the hood stamp. I had already added ...

Re: Marksmann GPS

Got lucky and landed a few Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W units and moved my RPi 4 over to a home automation project. Had to swap out the display with a HDMI model since the Zero 2 doesn't have a DSI connector. Ordered some DC-DC buck converters for power. The PCMCIA cards have arrived and I'll start cutting...

Marksmann GPS

Since I've been working some odd schedules at the office due to designing and building a new TV studio I decided to pick up a little side project I could work on at night. I got inspired by Rymo's Marksmann GPS build over on the RPF and ordered a few on eBay with the intent of keeping one for my vid...
