Cool beans

 

Looks really good man

 

Yeah! its getting better and better everyday...
Keep it up man, nice work!

 

Thanks but I think I am done with it for a lil. Just started having the stupid hesitation fault so I will have to start troubleshooting it prolly a 02 sensor I will keep yall posted.

 

Man, I can't tell you how much I love those old Waggys. My dream is to find one in primo shape.
Congrats to you for the time/effort. I spent 12 hours on Tuesday with a Jeep buddy putting on a new front bumper and a gas tank skid and I was feelin' sorry for myself.
After seeing all that rust, I don't feel so bad.
Good work!

 

Got a lil bored today and decided to see what it would take to put on my front engine skid. Due to the Hi-country shackles I had to modify the skid a lil. Had to notch out a 1x1 piece on each corner so it would sit



I am thinking I need to update my avatar pic


Finally got a updated picture of the Dana 44. Take a good look at this for when you go to the JY's.

 

Wow you put a lot of hard work in that thing. Looks good.

 

Thanks man. Makes you love your Jeep more when you do alot to them.

 

damn so you need to shop off a lil of skid for it to fit,, damn.. how did you cut it? hand power or power tool

 

Just a lil section on the two corners. They hit the Hi-country brackets. You can't even tell i cut it now it looks like it was made that way. I used a angle grinder with a cutting disc.

 

I love your jeep

 

OK, I woke up a lil motivated today. Last week I went and bought some thin sheet metal to finish patching up some exterior holes. Jeeps been running great so time to make her look a lil better also.

This is the hole. Ugly right...



Got some poster paper and sketched out my piece.


Transferred it to some Sheet metal from Home Depot. That sheet was 8 bucks...




Didn't measure the angles to well just kinda Eyeballed it but it worked fine. Banged out some crease on a block of wood.



Then stuck her in place. I had to take it back off a few times a bang it a lil more but eventually she fit good. Rubbed some RTV around the edge to seal it in.



Riveted it down


Put a coat of Primer on it till I decide what to do next.



Also did a hole in the front that look like crap.

 

Got really motivated after my holes were fixed so I talked the ole lady into letting me to the bottom finally.

45 bucks at walmart


Spent a good thirty minutes scuffing everything up on the top since if you don't prep it don't stick.


Taped everything up... pretty simple to do this job.




Then I just started spreading it on like paint. Real simple and cheap for that much protection.

This is the first coat ofcourse...


I ended up doing two coats on it and I will put a third on in the morning then pull the tape off and get some more pics.






Jeep really looks weird now but maybe it is just a drastic change and will grow on me. Kinda makes me want to paint the wheel Black now. Or the top white. Any Thoughts.

 

man that thing is lookin good. i'd kep it the same color, but thats just me. lookin sharp

 

Looks good to me. All that matters it it's protected
