Re: Kentucky Jeep #22
Alrighty everyone, here's two render forms I've come up with by using a current photo of the jeep. The first pic is the jeep plain, second pic has the simulated paint along with a spice hard top and the third pic has the same as second but has a painted full door with spice to simulate a half door.
I like the fake half door look but owning actual half doors will help me complete the look when the tops are off. The body paint is a debate right now but I know a guy who can Plasti dip for a flat 300 bucks. Anyway that's all I have so far, hopefully can obtain the rear lamps next week and mount. What are your opinions? Any input will be helpful, thank you.

I wouldnt pay the 300 for a plasti dip job when you can do it your self. You can find someone to do paint for just a little more than that. I think using plasti dip is perfect for a do it your selfer because it just peels off if you mess up. Paying someone to do plasti dip is eliminating half of the appeal of the stuff.

Re: Kentucky Jeep #22
I agree with ratrace, $300 is a bit much if you're keeping the base silver. I didn't pay much more than that to buy my actual paint and supplies.

It's 300 for the entire body if I decide to make the accurate beige color. Lol 300 for just the red is way too expensive.

Re: Kentucky Jeep #22
That concept is awesome! Never thought about extending the rear stripes, and with the hard top it would look very clean. I'd say go for it, really unique.ausjeep wrote:just an idea. i was thinking of doing this with mine

Re: Kentucky Jeep #22
Good luck on your build! We have a Off Road club here at Clarksville/ft campbell, and there was a YJ grill that might fit your jeep if you plan to do that. There are several YJ for Sale around here, and if I were you, I would just swap you Jeep for one and end up with a more accurate vehicle. I live in Oak Grove, and work on Fort Campbell so that's another Kentucky-based Jurassic jeep It has been on display at the ComicCon in Lexington before, and was at the Pop Con two weeks ago in Evansville IN, just across the river from KY. It should be at theCincinatti Comic Con this Summer with a lot of props. A great place to have a JP Jeep meet might be Dinosaur World by Mammoth Cave. That's where I picked up the T-Rex bust seen here,and then made the rest ofthe Dino from Army foam sleeping Mats. My Jeep used to be #10, and is now #18.

Hey crazyZcollegeKid I'm working on converting my TJ as well, if you want to stop by my thread to see my progress (not very far probably order my lightbar sometime this week or next week) and if you need advice I'd be more than happy to help. Also what you might want to do (cuz it looks cooler) is mount your licence plate towards the side of the bumper (like the YJ's) you'll have to put a screw through the plastic bumper end cap, but it looks better than it being in the center (my opinion).

Re: Kentucky Jeep #22
Hey Jpdude11, thanks for your insight and I'll be sure to check out your build. The plate location is temporary right now until I obtain the version from celebrity machines. The next big task for me is to find half doors, then the wheels and finally paint it with plasti dip. The build speed won't be fast on my end with school and what not. I'm shooting for around a year, just in time for Jurassic World to unveil it at the theater
