Hey thanks!
It's been a while since my last visit.
I got it from a shop in Vancouver called Gemini Jeeps. Just just do jeep parts.
It's the bestop replace a top.

I recently pulled out all the carpeting and the seats and detailed and cleaned up everything. There was actually a little rust in the tub where the front seats frames bolt to the tub so I patched that all up.
I don't really go off road so I was actually think about lining the tub in sound deadening insulation to try and quiet things down. We shall see!

When the weather gets better I'd like to refinish the undercarriage just to spruce things up a bit. I'll also probably replace the shocks. I think the stock ones are what's in there now.

I'm also going to get starting on building a light bar!

Hey thanks!

I will get some pics up shortly!

I was comparing it too the jeeps from the movie and the tubing looks to be the same diameter and the hight between the top of the windshield and the light bar looks to be the same.

I know there was some discussion on tubing sizes and having to shorten the hight to make it look canon to the jeeps in the movie

Those comments about tubing size may come from the fact that so many people are using other bars, that are similar but not exact.

We want pics... And dimensions of everything , tube size, leg length before the bend, radius of bend, length of cross bar, number of light mounts, dimensions of mounting plate....
