David's JP project (spike42718)

[spike42718]

Finally some progress. These 60 hour work weeks arent leaving me much time for the jeep. I got the light bar 98% done and im getting closer to being finished with the sanding. What do you guys think about this setup? I know they arent jabsco's but I got really excited seeing them up there after a year of owning them.

Those lights look good I dont see any problem with em... Are you going to try to make the arms and light rings for them?

[spike42718]

I was going to but I think Im going to paint the outer bezel LJ1 and the inner bezel that moves red. There isnt much room for the rings on these lights.

I got my plates and mirror tag done today. They arent perfect but Im happy with them. Also got my rear bumper done and light bar primed up. Hope to get my lights painted this weekend and mounted on the bar.

I was hauling the Jeep to my friends house this weekend to work on some stuff that was over my skill level and the Hood flew back as I was driving down the road. The Hood is destroyed and the cowl is smashed up pretty good. And to think, I was only weeks away from shooting paint. I have a pro coming to look at it but I might have to get a new tub. Definitely killed my mood for a while.

Yep, sorry to hear David. If we can help scrounge up any parts in ATL let me know. I did see a sahara tub the other day for $550.

How'd it get into the cowl? Never seen a hood get that far back unless it torqued the hood hinge mounts.

Im calling it the cowl, but its the part where the windshield mounts. I had the windshield frame off so the hood came back and smashed it in and even bent my steering wheel. I cant find any good tubs in my state so if I do end up needing one Ill need all the help I can get. Id hate to drive hours and hours just to find a tub in worse shape than mine. I just emailed the guy near you Dave, thanks.

Let me know if I can help. I found a couple on www.copartfinder.com if you could get a rear bashed one you could probably cut out that part of the cowl. It would be easier than a tub swap.
