BJDoering's Modern #24 JP Jeep

Post by bjdoering » June 17th, 2011, 8:40 am

So as I mentioned this will be a slightly modern version of the Jurassic Park Jeep. It's number will be 24 and have slight improvements done to it to improve its function as a park vehcile. These include a low-profile Sky Bar LED Lightbar system, cages on light components to prevent dino damage to vehicle, trail modified seat covers, etc...

So here's some of the progress we have made in the last week and a half or so. The jeep only needs a few repairs such as new pinion seals, hood hardware, and a transmission service/oil change. Other than that its in amazing shape. Was driven by a college girl that went to Miami of Ohio. Never drove "home" so since 2001 the jeep only has 66K miles on it.

Thanks! I'm trying to get it to be as high of a quality product (when finished) as you have. The bar is set high lol. Biggest part is just going to be getting the paint done. Hopefully Sunday I'll have the frame components all coated in Chassis Saver to halt the oxidation jeeps get. Then get all the stencil vinyl to the paint guys and such. Those seat covers are made by Smittybuilt, just google G.E.A.R Seat Covers...around75-100 bucks for one. Can do the tailgate and back bench with em also.

That's great, I can't wait to see it painted. TJ's make YJ's seem like buckboards, my 97 rode like a luxury car comparatively. Congrats on the process. Love the plate, I just reserved JURASIC down here in GA. Too bad I had to lose an S, 7 letters max...

Yea, it has a fairly smooth ride to it. Still have some very minor things to do to it once its painted. When I went to the DMV here in Ohio the lasy was really excited when I explained the meaning and purpose of the plate. Also, a side note guys...Jeep dealers, car shows, and local garages have been calling me non-stop just to have the jeep parked there when its done. Even had a mom request it for her kid's b-day lol!! Maybe able to make some beer money....dont know yet. Either way the reception here in Cincy has been great and its not even out of the shop yet lol!

As for that Sign thats bad ass!!. I thought about the right rear view mirror> They always say objects in mirror are larger than they appear. If we could get it to say .."Objests in mirror may be trying to eat you!" hah
