Re: Project Jeep 29 in UK

Did the rear lights today. Look great. Got them off ebay, from the States. There not the KC lights as they're not in my budget, but found something that looked like them. They are made by blazer. Had to do some modding to them. First off I cut the plastic cafe of the lens, then sprayed the backs mat...

Re: Project Jeep 29 in UK

Trying to do any jobs on the Jeep every weekend. So this weekend was just some small bits. Got the mount for the antenna fitted and looks great, just need to find a antenna. The other thing was the brakes, they were not working. All I had to do was bleed them and now works perfect. It was the first ...

Re: Project Jeep 29 in UK

I know its not much, but it's a start. I removed the chrome grill and bullbar. Also removed the rear light surround that they put on the UK models. Also when I had the lights off found the holes that were drilled for US, there only a inch to one side. The parts removed I need to get on ebay to help ...

Re: Project Jeep 29 in UK

Thanks RustyRodder. The fender ones I know are something added to UK models, just odd they decised not use the turn signals that are already there.
Sunday I am spending the day on it to get what I can sort out. Bits like removing the chrome to then sell, that will help fund other areas needing work.

Re: Project Jeep 29 in UK

I got my box of parts and some parts to help like the ends of the front bumper. Some thing I spotted when looking around it was the front 2 orange lights near the grill. In the USA do they do anything? I had a look at mine and there just the lens, no backing or electrics. So going to use them to get...

Re: Project Jeep 29 in UK

Here it is, as you can see, needs some work. Still waiting for the old owner to give me a box of parts he took off as well

Project Jeep 29 in UK

So finally picked up a jeep. A friend got it from one of his clients, it had been in a barn for a few years. It is in need of some TLC to get it on the road, but thought it was not bad for £600. I will upload photos later as it was dark when I picked it up and just doing this in the morning. Be grea...

Re: East Dock Sign

Has anyone done a down load for this. It be cool to get a template of the top parts to stick on the wood to use to cut it out. Have tried drawing it and not working out too well.

Re: weapon lxxxi's jeep 12

Mine came with half doors and regular doors as well :-) It was a non runner when I bought it and needed a new ECU and battery to get running again. It failed MOT yesterday on a brake pipe so I'm going to change all of the brake pipes to keep them happy. Not bad for sitting around and last on the ro...

Re: weapon lxxxi's jeep 12

I have spotted things like that Bryan, been looking at half door. Not spotted any in the UK only in USA. I got the wheels off a facebook group for Jeeps with goodyear tyres for £165 inc postage. I am finding the Jeeps all over with the pricing. Been looking on ebay and see them selling for about £15...
