Jurassic Park Jeep #12

Also, I noticed your YJ has the TJ style windshield rests on the hood. Ive heard some of the very last YJ's had these as they started switching over to build TJs. Mine does (10/95 build date). Seems out of place for a 93. Has the hood or front end been repaired?

Not that I know of, but you are correct.

Its also odd that the Jeep is missing the pinstriping down the doors and rear quarters as well.

Those Delta foglights arrived today. They are not as pictured. They are the newer ugly style with the grating that goes diagonally.

However the covers come off easily, I might run them without guards.. or its possible that the reflectors could be swapped into factory foglight housings.

EDIT: I think this was a screw up on 4WD's part. They've got two sets of Delta 150 fog lights posted with different part numbers using the same photo. I think the difference is the front grill. Hopefully they can just swap out the grills or the parts.

Whew. Just won a set of Sahara half doors on eBay with the accurate green door panels. I was really worried that they would jump up in price the last second, but I ended up getting them for the max bid that I put in a few days ago. $450 shipped.

I really wished this thing had come with a soft top and half doors in addition to a hard top and full doors. But I guess $650 for half doors and soft top was a good deal. I've definitely spent over $5000 on this thing now. Guessing $7000 by the time it is finished. ($1000 paintjob, $600 for tires, and the rest for Mopar lightbar and remaining non-accurate lights).

Nice, win on half doors AJ. I just won the two front Sahara seats on eBay.

Great get. Under $100 shipped for Sahara seats is an incredible deal. Our cars will be connected in spirit.

4WD.com has updated their product photos for the Delta 150 lights. They no longer show the straight line gaurds. Only the ugly diagonal style cover.

Looks like all I will be able to do is return these, and not get them exchanged.

It appears however that the Delta 100 fog lights are the direct replacement for Sahara fog lights. They are very thin and have the similar style guard.

the paint job should be way less than $1000 just get the gray/champaign done at a local shop and do the red yourself. should be alot cheeper

Um. No? If I wanted to do it myself, I would do all of it.

I will be (hopefully) having a friend at a shop handle all the painting on the side. He is a professional painter and does amazing work, so it will be easily a several thousand dollar paint job done for cheap. I am just guessing but he would probably want about $1000 to do it. Could be more, could be less.

Very cool AJ!

Maybe it would be easier to just replace the whole windshield assembly from the hinges up instead of trying to repair the rusted out areas?

*edit, just read thru the whole thing, seems like you've got that idea already
