Ha haa good luck with yours too then. I should get some time over the weekend to look if it's dry.

I haven't tested them yet cyrix but should have time over the weekend. I'll get a pic if I can get them lit up. The bulb is a lot bigger than your one from memory. Now I've cut the guards off they do look so similar. I think raptorwrangler has these too? He pointed these out to me, maybe he lit his up?

Quick update, I finally got the wiring worked out. With Cobrian's comment about earthing through the bolt I had an idea, I earthed it from the side adjusting bolt on the mount to the rear light housing mounting bolt inside the light it worked. And works as the turn too. When it's dry again (British weather eh!!) ill wire them up properly.

Right update time as it's been a while!
It was leaking coolant and the brakes where dodgy, took it to a garage they said they fixed the leak..... It still leaks! The brakes are better but the handbrake light is still on in the dash?
I asked them if they would look at doing the suspension, but as I said before they aren't interested in getting dirty. Found another local garage who is going to fix the rear frame issue & suspension I will also get the leak fixed as I can't drive 5mins without it boiling over like a kettle now. (Think that's the water pump)? Once these essential repairs are done it's going in for paint at last! Stay tuned!

I have bought USA rear lenses tho and new front turns so I can do that when it's back. Also I'm in talks with a winch....

Oookay I've been doing a bit of shopping while it's in the garage. I'm now the owner of 4 jabscos we all love them! So while it's away I'll be adapting them with all there extras, just need to decide how to do the frame around the light... I'm thinking 3D printing? I also bought a winch, it is very very close to the Ramsey! It's a longhorne kew 8000lb. More pics to come as I don't want to be taking it all out the box. I did however get some stickers from a guy off of the jpmotor pool on fb, now it looks just like it. Fits perfect I'm so pleased with them. So until she's back from the garage I'm stuck with toys & no jeep.
Happy eyes!

Looking good. Not sure about the guards for the lights. I'm in the process of molding and casting them, but I have no idea how well that's going to turn out. The plastic makes me slightly nervous about durability.

Are there really baseball fans in the UK?

Would you mind sending their contact info? I need similar stickers for my rep6000. Your winch looks good, really really close to the rep6000. If it wasn't for the bigger motor housing, I would have sworn it was an old ramsey winch.

EDIT: I joined the FP group and Marco is sending me some stickers.

Thanks just need to get on with it. Yeah the guards are something that need to be right, I think if it's abs plastic it should last?

Yeah I've never been a regular British sports fan, I hate football(soccer). Ever since I was little, I've loved basketball, baseball etc.... Born in the wrong country!!!

Thanks cptcrunch, it is very close I'm super stoked about it. Glad you got in touch with him, he's been a great help.
