Re: CT JP15

Honestly I bet the paint guy just eyeballed the lines, laser levels werent exactly a common item in 1992 ;) So even when they were created I bet they could have been different by a few degrees on differnt vehicles, if it looks good in person which pictures make me think so, then thats all that matte...

Re: CT JP15

The measurements therefore are better to use. (just like you did.) The angles I calculated where base...

Re: how did you paint your jeep? rattle can or spray gun?

that would be rustoleum for those south of the border (roll on method)

I used plastidip for my stripes/wheels/hood stamp until I can do a real spray job. (tan is paint, but its the shiney champagne, so it needs redo, all red is plastidip)

Re: Completed JP 18- Ontario

Re: Kid and Son's jeep for our JP Build

If you want to use them on the road since they are fog lights you will need a dimmer unless you like tickets ;) htt...

Re: Kid and Son's jeep for our JP Build

. Finley something my son wants to do other than computers. Lol. I now that feeling. Since you know you aren't going canon, if you and son think it looks good go for it. I love beefy jeeps.
