You mean to tell us that the rest of the world has no internet ? :laugh:

Dial Up mostly

I guess it depends on which part of 'out of the country' you were in .

 

[S8NNG8]

I don't post pics of it, and I didn't post at all for the last year because I was out of the country

Pretty sure I have a pic of it, but I'm not sure how much its changed.
This 2-tone frenzy is getting me anxious to get mine done. But in all of my rearranging I've misplaced the roll of vinyl I bought.

Looking forward to seeing yours done. And I think you can be excused considering.

I've been talking about getting mine painted professionally but don't know what I want or anybody I trust in the area.

Guy I know finally got a house with a garage. He does outstanding body work, I'm thinking about getting a quote for a whole new paint job. Maybe a non-stock color.

 

[pmurph131]

I know a good paint guy. The expense has held me off though. Plus sometimes I think I'm going to have it painted like the explorers in the first jurassic park and I should just keep it patched and not rusting til then.

Don't be that guy.

I gotta say I think I love my excuse. Anybody need a smile for today?

 

[S8NNG8]

Agreed, that guy is already here somewhere.

Well I hope he's at least in a YJ and not an XJ.

Ok, now you got me wondering. Was it a YJ? It was just in the last couple months he showed it off cuz he'd just gotten it done. Don't matter really, I think it would look corny to replicate any TV inspired design like that. Just saying I wouldn't do it, but if anybody else decides to do it and I see it someday I'll compliment it depending on how well it was done. A Trooper I've seen around my town tried to do it (obviously rattle can) and it certainly deserved no compliments.

The movie had Explorers and YJs. If you're gonna recreate a specific car from a movie, you should start with the right car.

The one I saw here was an XJ, I remember now. Cuz I recall it not being right in the same sense you stated.

How is that plastic dip stuff? If all goes according to plan my Jeep will get its paint issues addressed in the spring. Was thinking of using that crap on the rockers, doors below the molding, and maybe the wheels just for winter protection. Then peel it off in the spring.

 

[Ralph77]

I got a set of oem drip rail covers from the junkyard today. Only problem is that I can't get them to stay on my jeep.

I to am curious?

I'm assuming the "gutters" on each side of the roof. There is a black piece covering them, which he is referring to. Never heard of them being called that.

They are the covers that go over the "gutters". They're just a pain to get back on.

Did I miss the answer to this? Can somebody post a picture?

 

[rebelbowtie]

Obviously supposed to be a Trex but you will never see a 6 wheeled Ram truck following behind a Jurassic Park themed YJ

I just put the AC on in my house at 6:00am on Feb 2. Damn it's hot in south Louisiana.

As you know I replaced mine. They vibrate when I slam my drivers door. You've gotta make sure they are completely untweaked when you put them on or the bends will pull them loose.

Here Shoop. There are clips in the drip rail that the edges of the cover slide into. Line them up with the notched areas along the cover. Put the covers up there with the outside facing the sky(bends at the ends facing down). They'll roll on in a 1/4 circle by going along with the butt of your hand thumping the cover into the clips.

Anyone have a link to these clips hes talking about. One of the many things i need to do to it, just need to find the clips first :brickwall:

I wouldn't expect to find them new. I'd just go to the JY with a pair of heavy wire cutters and a pair of channel locks. Clip, bend, slide 'em out. You might be able to just bend the gutter back and pluck them right out. But you will have to do one or the other for sure. The trick will be getting them on your rig without causing the damage.
