lol actually me and my buddy who helped me paint this both have paint sprayers......we just wanted to see how using a roller would turn out.....its really thick and textured, but it is therefore drying really slow, we found out that even though the top is bone dry, underneath it is still kinda moist.....i probably wont roll on another paint job any time soon

 

did you add some catalyst to the paint?

 

ok its been a while since the last update since the gang and i have been away from home working at our Boy Scout Camp (Camp Dittmer) for the summer.....but here it is with most of the decals stenciled on

 

Upside down and backwards hood scoops? Haha

Unique

 

they are upside down to keep water and stuff out of the engine compartment because this spends all winter outside because the cows are in the barn then....the idea was for them to function like a cowl induction hood.....they are mainly to let heat out not air in.....cuz the 4.0 likes to run a little warm

 

ok so yesterday my bother was messing around with the grizz and noticed the hood latch cable was getting pretty weak, so we decided to make some hood pins



they are just bolts and wingnuts.....they work pretty good, we added the cleats to use as handles, and so the jeep can be used as a mobile dock lol

 

That's a cool way to fix the hood cable! Just don't go using those tow points, for the love of God!

 

haha definitely not tow points lol.....they are held on by deck screws

 

ok so we are going in a new direction because i got a screamin deal on a 29-spline C8.25 with 4.56 gears and a full spool already installed. so no more lincoln locking the rear and 31's......the new plan is swap in the new rear, then throw some 4.56s and an aussie up front, trim real heavy, bump stop it and throw some 33's on there

 

Hey RedZ-, glad to hear the Griz project is still going forward. Hope to see some of those photos of the progress. My suggestion for the project is "trim heavily, and Super Swampers!" zim

 

WOW that paint came out great. I like it. It looks nice and textured....and fuzzy, like a warm blanket. Id suggest some nice aggresive rubber now and get some nasty muddy pics

 

yea i'm thinking some 34x9.5 Super Swamper LTB's on some 15x8 wagon wheels with 4" BS.....but i need to find the money to re-gear/lock the front before i buy the wheels and tires.....

i'm also trying to find time/money/parts for the 1 ton swap into my '91 briarwood lol

 

not much progress lately.....still saving money for gears, aussie, and new rubber.....but we did add a speed spoiler to help us go faster

 

love that spoiler, my wife says that real babes think spoilers are sexy. Proceed with caution. zim

 

Don't put that spoiler on there haha.
