Re: JP18 - Chicago - Frame off restoration - "Spared No Expense"
One year ago I finally posted up pictures of my completed JP 18. Today, I still have the jeep and just took it out of winter storage 2 days ago (didn't want to trash it with the road salt in IL). Over the past year I have taken it to several shows, had it displayed at a movie theater last summer, ph...

Have you noticed an increase in webtraffic to your site since you began driving it? It would be cool to see a few charts/plots of web traffic to your site on days you dri...

Re: SoCal JP Jeep #10
That looks great! Did the #10 jeep have a whip antenna on it? I don't remember... You should definitely convert the power wheels jeep, if your son likes your jeep he would love his own. I just picked up a power wheels last week to convert to match my jeep (however I am also installing remote control...

Re: JP18 - Chicago - Frame off restoration - "Spared No Expense"
Very nice. What is the brand of that winch plate? Actually I bought the winch plate on craigslist for $20. It was brand new and never installed on any vehicle as far as I could tell. There are no numbers or markings on it, but I searched quadratec, 4wd, and other retailers and have it narrowed down...

Re: JP18 - Chicago - Frame off restoration - "Spared No Expense"
Fresh off the boat on Isla Nublar is where this thing is at!! Off-topic a bit, but if you look closely at the scene when the Jeeps back up to the helicopter, you can totally see that the key holes on the doors are scratched to hell. InGen employees must fumble a lot! Yeah that and the passenger sid...

Re: Jurassic Park - Raptor Transport Trailer...New Project!
As for the raptor transport part of it, I am actually building a replica of the crate that is shown at the start of the film. Mine is a scaled version and I plan to be able to slide it out the back of the jeep on a roller system. The method of lowering and lifting it is a custom desing I am working ...

Jurassic Park - Raptor Transport Trailer...New Project!
I was thinking about what to do with all the leftover parts from my recent frame off restoration on my JP18 wrangler. As you have seen in my build thread, I performed a complete frame/chassis swap on my jeep. The frame that I was left with is only really damaged in one spot (driver’s side front). Th...

Re: JP18 - Chicago - Frame off restoration - "Spared No Expense"
Here is some more information on it. I started with a 1994 Wrangler Sahara that I picked up after the previous owner had a low speed head on collision with a Chevy Trailblazer. I was looking for a project and the price was right so this was the perfect jeep to start with. The tires were new (but I r...
