Re: Kytor Industries JP17
It was 70F on Saturday, and here we are two days later with upwards of 3 ft of snow in my front yard.
My other YJ (trail Jeep) had no problem breaking free of the ice prison. This one is a separate work in progress, so ignore the mismatched panel colors. She's ready for Clearcoat. It's a Joop thing.

It isn't a project Jeep until it has worn mismatched panels, haha!
The paint process looks like it is coming along great! As for the measurements I used them as guidelines and applied my own reasoning where applicable. I think you'll be fine with your solution.

Re: Kytor Industries JP17
Nice to start w such a nice jeep, I had a ton of cancer to fix and frame peices to weld, but upside, I only paid $1200 and it still runs and drives and it's a Sahara. Looks good so far. I have a long way to go before paint.

Re: Kytor Industries JP17
There are a few issues that I've hidden from the cameras. Nothing major, and completely repairable. I took care of several surface rust areas, grinded down, body filler, etc. But there is a through hole that will be covered by a flare that I will have repaired by a pro with a TIG welder in the spring. The driver's floor pan is also in need of a new panel. After the floor pan gets welded in I'm going to Raptor Line (Tinted SBP) the tub interior.
I've decided to 600 grit and re-clear the body. One, I didn't get the mil thickness I wanted, and two I want to eliminate or make negligible the stripe seam depth differential. That will happen this weekend.
If time allows I'm also going to BC/CC the tailgate, wheels and windshield, and some accessories (door hinge mounts, headlight trim, mirrors). The hood and flares will be the absolute last body pieces to get painted.

Re: Kytor Industries JP17
Honestly you're probably better off replacing the entire tub. A Jeep yard usually has them rust-free for $300-500.

It all depends on how much time and energy you wanna put into it. If you have the skills and time, I say go for it. If you don't know how to fix it I say go for it and enjoy the project. Have fun!

Re: Kytor Industries JP17
The price tag climbed a bit today as I put some more accessories on order including a class 3 tow receiver, entry guards, spare wheel lock nut, winch plate, wiring connectors, LED bulb replacements, new weatherseals all the way around, hood latches, hood grommets, and more. I updated the spec sheet in the original post.
