You'd only need one strut for the hood though

 

Got some things done today. Some planned and some not lol My muffler decided it didn't want to hang on the tail pipe today and I made it 50 miles home going down the parkway without losing it. I finally had time to mount my light bar. I need one more light so that I can use all the holes. Here are some pictures:





Tomorrow I'll be going to the JY to maybe find an overhead console. I'll also be getting a front shaft for temporary winter driving while I rebuild my other shaft.

 

So I went to the junkyard today and came out with a few things. Got everything for $50. I got a front drive shaft finally to hold me over until I fix my other one, A center light out of an Xterra to mount some switches to, and some hood louvers off of a Pontiac GTP with drip pans.



The plan is to mount switches on the long flat part on the front of it. I like the overhead consoles but I couldn't find one that wasn't broken so this will do fine.



Here's the vents



The back showing the drip pans







So here's the idea on placement. Now I just have to get the ***** to cut the hood. Still just a work in progress. I'll be painting them black to match of course.

Enjoy!!

 

measure 100000x's cut once!

 

absolutely great JY pick ups. light bar looks great!

 

Cant stress this enough.

Very good junk yard picks indeed.

 

Hahaha I think 100001 times lol

Thank you thank you

Thanks a lot

 

A little more tinkering today. I decided to built some better roof rack supports. It's going to be a 1" square tube with 1/8" walls and the gutter mounts are 3/16". I plan on bed lining it and using all stainless hardware. Just in the beginning stages right now.

 

looking better and better with every pic

 

Much appreciated

 

Woke up early this morning and went out shopping!! I was able to get a new tool set, new subwoofers, and 6 quarts of Mobil 1. The tool set was $140 off which made it $160 for 255 pieces. The subs are Kicker Comps and were buy one get one at Best Buy. The oil was $4 a quart which is pretty much half price. All in all it was a good morning.

 

Nice jeep, i like the smoked out look. i plan to smoke my lights as well.

 

Thanks!! You live so close to me lol Well compared to everyone else on here I've met from NJ.

 

yea everyones from like way up north or way down south, i saw your high school jacket and it sort of looked familar but not too sure. where did you find that light bar?

 

Hahaha yeah I went to St. Joseph in Metuchen. Graduated '08. The light bar is made by Zone Worx. Got it from a guy up north, but you can find it here http://www.zoneworx.net/productXJ1002.html
