Jurassic Park Jeep Forum

I know my color balance is all crummy, because my color calibration from Mac to Windows is off. BUT, I met up with another member of the JP Motorpool today, and got a pic of mine next to an actual Sand Beige YJ. I think this confirms for sure that the "Desert Sand" is indeed the closest Monstaliner ...

Yeah some bedliners dry to a kind of rubbery feel, the Monstaliner turns rock hard like an epoxy. Decals were no problem at all, just place them and I like to roll them out with a rubber brayer.

Still got stuff to ...

The next day, we attacked the red. Believe it or not, took a full gallon of "Read My Lips", since we also did the bumpers and the roll cage. This red is a very bright, straight up FF0000 type of red, and so it doesn't cover extremely well. So plan on laying it even thicker than the other colors. Hav...

We were too busy trying to beat the clock with the Monstaliner catalyst to take pics, but here's what it looks like after rolling the tan. Used one full gallon of "Desert Sand", without even touching the roll bars, windshield, or hood cowl. I know another person on this forum has done Monstaliner wi...

Before I start painting, I really wanted to replace the hood, since the one on it had like 15 dents. Some of them pretty big from somebody sitting on it or something. So I found one at a big parts supplier in an industrial section of town. So luckily didn't have to ship it, otherwise there's no way ...

I keep up my own website, but I keep forgetting to update this thread. Got lots of new progress. For reference, here's what the old tired seats looked like: http://brandoncrismon.com/koken/storage/cache/images/000/700/IMG-4612medium-large1475354331,medium_large.1475600780.jpg New Bestop seats instal...

Doesn't look like much, but a couple things here. The 1999 TJ's headlight switch was the push/pull rod on the dash panel to the left of the steering wheel. Apparently on the 2001 where I sourced this dashboard, the headlight control was moved to the turn signal stalk. I didn't change my steering col...

Wow, that's a really great find, looks to be in awesome shape.

Found a kit online for $80 that gives me all brand new lock cylinders for the ignition, 2 doors, and tailgate, along with two nice fresh keys. Luckily this 1999 doesn't have transponders in the keys, so this was an easy swap. Esp since I have to move all the latch mechanism to the new tailgate anywa...
