Re: Northern Kentucky JP12

So I had posted previously about the Jeep and all of the problems it had, but I have to take it back. I understand what the shop was trying to say and do, but I learned that they wanted to build the Jeep to be an off roader, and not just a concrete driver in their original estimate of the issues wit...

Re: Northern Kentucky JP12

As the project was starting to near its completion, the softtop was one of the last big installs to do. After the lights were installed, well I guess actually during the installation, the softtop install was started. I'll be the first to admit that I work in IT and I drive a german sports car, and I...

Re: Northern Kentucky JP12

Lights! So after 3d printing the rings and attachments and building the lights, we moved onto installation. I never knew how long it was going to take, mainly due to the wiring, power needs and how to fish 4 very large cables through 1 lightbar, but it wasn't that bad. Took 2 days of installation, m...

Re: weapon lxxxi's jeep 12

The only problem with that is that they don't ship over here & I bet it would cost a bomb to do that too! :(. I think you already have sent them over via the fbook page ;), if it was you thanks just in talks with local printers now woooo!!! Yep that was me. Send some pictures when they are printed!...

Re: Trying out a JP JK model

Not bad! I was curious how you were going to do the rear stripes due to the size of the fender flares. The red plastidip looks really good. Great job

Re: weapon lxxxi's jeep 12

I purchased the harbor freight winch plate and it worked perfectly. I might suggest that over fabbing one. Cost was $40 after 20% off coupon: http://www.harborfreight.com/universal-channel-winch-mount-90476.html. Also, if you want the 3D files for the ring and attachments let me know. You can check ...

Re: Northern Kentucky JP12

Reassembly has begun! After trailering the Jeep from the painter, it was time to take inventory of what we needed to do, and what parts we had. We did an o.k. job marking all of the bolts, nuts, and various pieces when we disassembled everything earlier this year, but not good enough. We were consta...

Re: Northern Kentucky JP12

After the base, I moved to assembling the ring and its attachments before final assembly. I wanted these made so when it was time to work on the Jeep, I could have an extra hand or two to help secure the ring to the light correctly. Again, lots of tools and specialty pieces were needed for this proc...
