Jurassic Park Jeep Forum

I'm SouthWest, near the Silverton Casino.

10/08/11 - Registered the Jeep at the Nevada DMV under license plate "JP 12". Plates should arrive in about 4 weeks. In the meantime I will be making the custom front license plate, I got the correct base plate to use. If anyone has access to a vinyl cutter and is willing to make me the templates or...

Rest assured I don't leave anything valuable in my jeep. I take out the stereo faceplate, and don't even have a center console. I may even be moving houses in the near future. One that will have a 3 door garage to fit the Jeep

09/25/11 - Changed the auto trans filter and put a new gasket and oil.
