Last week I picked up a complete windsheild for the YJ $100!!! Today it was time to make it green. Stripped the frame sanded it,masked off the windsheild and painted it green.Now its in the makeshift paintbooth(my shed with a propane heater cranked up to high)to bake. Tomorow I'll fold back the congo cage/rack and swap the windsheild assembly.Then time to get the beast inspected.make sure you swap the vin plate if the YJ has one on the windshield! I had all kinds of issues with the CJ when it came to inspection, the state troopers were involved.

Yup, it was great... I forget how much I love the Jeep until the first spring day when I can drop the top... then it all comes back

Dropped the top then felt depressed cause I gotta let her go...
-
I was eyeing those from metal cloak... I like the flat top better than the other style...

Are we looking at camping at one of the local Campgrounds as a group... maybe like a mini GWNF.

[size=20pt]Cory's Powder Coating![/size]
this has been posted before, but I thought I'd bring it up again.
He has done some great work for me and Ed (themistaken) and Lots of guys at work and around Dover.
if you need some quality work done at a very good price send me a PM and I'll give you his #

Finally installed my diff cover/guard that I had powder coated and my Rockmen steering box skid also powder coated by Cory.
-
it show my VIN at GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating ) : 1819-2272 kg
that is 4,010-5,008lbs... I didn't realize they were that heavy from the factory.
add in skids, bumpers and winch and it seems like a beast.what happened to the light nimble Jeep.

Hmmm...35's, barely up to the rim...exaggerate much?

I didn't measure... but the tires were sitting on top of 6-8" packed down snow, not that it matters, but here is a better pic.
when I got out it was up to my knee... without boots on my knee is at 21"...either way it was fun, and just like anything it always seems bigger when your doing it. ;D

no action shots... but I sure didn't waste time shoveling my side of the drive!

I got to yank my neighbor down his drive... he tried to make it out of the garage (that I had to drive it into yesterday(because he doesn't know how to drive))
he backed out all slow and of course a Hyundai awd on street slicks did nothing but sink to the frame.he bribed the guy plowing the street to do his driveway, but his suv was still stuck...
I told him that I'd just yank him out... my driveway was untouched 2' of snow... I blasted thru it and proceeded to try to find an attachment point under his rig.
He actually asked me if he could hook up to the spare tire... I should have hooked to his plastic bumper, but I didn't.
couple good yanks and he was out.
and I now remember why I hate pulling out people... the smell of clutch burning don't make James a happy boy,
not bad... but just a reminder. -
right now I am still trying to make this... but not sure about decorating the Jeep... if time was money, I'd be in debt!

I really wanted to attend this... but we have a karate tourney and a squadron x-mas party on the same date!

Picked up a freshly powder coated diff cover and guard for the front... Cory did these also, and the work is amazing!
the stock cover was pitted to hell and the guard had a major case of rock rash..."""if you need something done, let me know and I can connect you with him, he is also posted about in the vendor section"""

Also wanted to add...
Display MoreIf you wanted to be an original then why pick a primary color? Clearly you should have chosen one of these colors:
Electric Lime Green Pearl
Black
Bright Silver Metallic
Light Khaki Metallic
Shale Green Metallic
Sienna PearlI can very easily tell the difference between my jeep and yours
I know my jeep is different... I was just talking about the yellow and mtr combo...
besides... most of the mods on my jeep are take offs from club members, so I'm not really trying too hard to be unique ;D
to name a few members I've taken seconds from...

I was a fan of Rocky Road a few years back when I was running Japanese 4x4s, but I never thought much about them when shopping for the Jeep.
well they do sell lifts and such, but one of the things I really liked are the Bar Pin Eliminators they have,
http://www.rocky-road.com/jeepbpe.html
Not only good for getting rid of the bar pin design in TJ Shocks, but would be nice addition for a BB that didn't come with shocks...
Or someone like me that added a spacer to the top of a lift kit...
