Re: David's JP project (spike42718)
Yeah, good eye. The guy I got it from said in 2008 it got a new frame (from a junk yard I would guess), a new top and a new paint job. There are several "un-JPjeep" things it needs, but Im going to get to those first. I dont want a JP Jeep that looks old. If anybody spots a Mopar light bar grab it!! so far its the only thing I cant find.AJ Quick wrote:Is that a Sahara that was repainted?

Yeah, its a 1" body lift. I dont know if I'll keep it like that. I plan to do a 4.5" suspinsion lift at some point. My jeep will be the one you ride on Isla Sorna after the dinos were wild. A little more offroad friendly. If Nedry had what I plan to make my jeep, perhaps he could have made it to the boat.

Re: David's JP project (spike42718)
Ive contacted several salvage yards and cant find the oem light bar. If I cant find one, what do you guys think about this one? I can take out a couple of inches from both sides to bring the top closer to the windshield.

Re: David's JP project (spike42718)
That looks just like the Mopar one. Which was probably made by Olympic for Jeep.
It looks a little tall, but it looks like it comes apart and could probably be shortened.
The picture on the page shows it on a TJ. Its possible the design is slightly shorter for a YJ. Either way it looks lke it might be a good substitute and I may be ordering one. Price is not bad at all.

Re: David's JP project (spike42718)
I bet you the TJ one is so tall since it has a fixed header in the top that would need to clear to fold back. The CJ/YJ one probably doesn't have that weird cant and probably is shorter. You could email olympic, I have done that in the past with their other products and they get back to you pretty quick. Maybe they have a stock photo of the YJ one, or could email
I don't see why you couldn't cut/sleeve and re-weld it. If you were closer I'd offer to weld it for you.
