I hope mine looks that good when I make the change from black. What brand top is that?

[sahara93]

it is bestop replaceatop in spice.
some of you shape eyed viewers may have noticed that i dont have the normal soft top.
the one i have is designed for use with the full doors not the half doors. then i got the windows for the half doors to fit it

[DREVET]

What are the color codes for your paint? I LOVE IT!!!!!

[sahara93]

so i just got my antenna mount today
so i'll put that all together and get it on the jeep tomorrow

and i'll get my paint codes and my mixing ratios to tell you how i mixed the flattener in with the red
the beige is the low gloss sand beige color from jeep

[DREVET]

Thanks, Ill probably get it done at a body shop as i have no equipment or experience with paint

[sahara93]

ok so paint codes

sand beige poly 92 jeep color: 27055

performance red 92 ford color: 4614 (remember unlike the beige this need flattener added to it)

here are some pictures i took today after i got the antenna installed

and I was having a tough time figuring out how to attach that bad boy to the windshield and they were not any good pictures of how other guys did besides using a light bar which i dont have yet so i used some small bolts, washers and nuts

[sahara93]

hmmmm.... do you guys think I should strip the fog lights off my other jeep and put them on the JP jeep?

[Tibbz24]

Totally, that would bring it one step closer to the film. The paint is spot on, great job with that! What were the specs on the original if you don't mind me asking?

I have that top also. I am still using the full doors until I paint my half doors...

Great colors there....thanks for the codes, I will be ordering my Red pretty soon...

this jeep has been though a lot in its lifetime
this is my theory on it

when i got it was a very very dark green

I think it was originally a laredo because it had the laredo graphics on when i got. which would mean that it came with a hard top and full doors which makes sense because it has the little switches for the defroster and the wiper and it also has the wiring and the wiper fluid line running to back for the hard top. when i got it it had a soft top and half doors so somewhere along the line it lost the hard top and full doors. but then if the half doors where and afterthought wouldn't there be a separate key for them? or maybe the one of the pervious owners just changed the locks over, it's not very hard to do.

so anyways I guess the jeep had been stolen at one time and wasn't found within the 30 days so it was written off, but then it was found and put up for auction. so the guy that I bought if from had a buddy that is a auto wreaked so they can buy up all of these "written" off vehicles at a fraction of the price. so he bought it and got another vin number for it and drove it around for a few years then I bought it

kinda of an interesting story i guess
lol
