Jurassic Park Jeep Forum

I think I've slowly learned to not be sooooo wrapped up in every single little detail being "screen accurate" these days the more I've come to terms that no one will ever be 100%. So this gives me the opportunity to have some freedom with the Jeep. I got this idea from @raptorwrangler18 (the person ...

I still remember coming here 25 years ago when this place used to be a putt putt golf course. I'm glad the city of Jacksonville decided to make Rexy a landmark when they demolished everything else. I guess you could say "life, uh, finds a way."

Jeep looks much more complete with the winch and accessories installed. Fun fact - In the opening Jeep scenes where they roll up on the dino for the first time you can see JP29 has the winch hook attached to the rear tie rod whereas JP18 has the hook attached to the front tie rod. tempImageslW38l.gif

While I've always loved posting build updates (this is a build thread after all), I have been enjoying taking photos of the completed Jeep just as much.

In the spirit of trying to keep this forum alive, I'll continue to post my updates even though for the most part the "build" portion is complete minus a few things like painting the top door hinge. Installed the whip antenna after painting the antenna tie down. Also had to go away from a little scre...

Went from "all work and very little play" on the Jeep to the complete opposite. Now I get to enjoy the Jeep while doing the small projects on the to do list. Took Karma (Jeeps name...listen to the song Karma Chameleon and see if you can guess why I named her that) down to the beach to grab a bite to...

Got around to installing my NOS REP6000 and it was much more of a pain than it should have been. Mainly getting the plastic motor support base wires to allow it to sit flush against the winch plate. It also hurt a little removing the factory rubber band from the cable :lol: Since taking this photo I...

Got the windshield and rims installed as well as the light bar and a few odds and ends. Going to wait about a month for the red on the light bar to cure before I throw on the whip antenna since that thing gets banged up quite a bit even with some added protective measures. Then just have to install ...

Finally got the Jeep home, and I have to say....I've missed driving a Jurassic Jeep. I didn't really know how much I missed it until today. Red rims and windshield are getting installed tomorrow along with the light bar. Will have to install the winch and paint the top half door hinge area red when ...

Today we masked out the stripes and painted Tommy's Jeep as well as painted the light bars and side mirrors. While everything was drying I was able to put most of my Jeep back together. Tomorrow we will be installing the windshield frames, and on Saturday I'll be getting a new windshield and having ...
