Yeah very cool mod :drool:, looking for the finish opCorn:, how long did take to do this ?

took me too long to get this far, that all you need to know.

where are the vents going to be for the heat/AC? just via defrost and floor?

yeah prety much, I should have asked for vents to be put right under the gauges but ooh well, my AC is non existent anyways.

That's awesome man!

holy crap. amazing.

That's looking really good! :thumbsup:

Oh ****, that is bad-***. This is awesome. I want.

got to see it in person today. looks even better in person!!! kick *** job man

 

[portcityXJ]

awesome work! looks like a beast to wire up though.

 

[DoctorTim]

ill snap a pic for ya

 

[RacerX]

Wow ... nice
More pics - please!
more info - is it all steel, or some aluminum? how did you measure cut and fit all the components?
Do you have a pattern? can/would you upload it somewhere we can download it - or e-mail it to (me)

Oh, and BTW, post lots more PICTURES of it please

 

[DoctorTim]

yeah im going to have more time after monday. i will post a lot of pictures.

Its steel and ABS plastic. no pattern. all of my measurements were made right before cutting, meaning that the faceplate wasn't measured until i already made the frame.

 

[RacerX]

Ok,
I followed the link you put on "What did you do to you XJ MJ"

So, I saw the last page 1st .... lol

Looks great, waiting for more pics !!!

Great job. This makes me want to do something similar. That is a true work if art.

 

[RacerX]

still to come:
center console
indicator lights
kick panels
LED footlights
flashlight mount
CB mount
AW4 electrical override
modified ebrake
cup holders

Ever get these things done ?
What does the progress look like?

- Can't wait for more pics!!!!

-> -> - (even more pics of what you've already done - plz)

BTW, do you have patterns for the parts you have made?

 

[DoctorTim]

nothing yet. Im a full time student not much free time. But I've already started picking up metal for the center console so that is definitely coming soon. especially because winter break is soon.

 

[Agony Wagon]

Is this a trail-only, wear-a-helmet rig? That frame looks quite a bit less inviting to a forehead than the stock dash. Still, nice clean work. Looks good.

im probably going to do a few shades of grey.

Go for 50.

 

[DoctorTim]

lol im looking around for some nice padding for that.

 

[fcmd_prez68]

Very interested in how you did this. If you can text me or message me some plans of this like the cad drawing of it and a meterials list 5404942712

 

[blakes143]

Did you put vid on YouTube of this? Pretty sure I saw one drawn out and put in place with cardboard on YouTube. Looks good

 

[DoctorTim]

well the way i make my things (so far), i dont have a cad drawing or any formal schematic. its just some chicken scratch in a notebook. but i will say that this took me about 100 bucks in metal, 200 in gauges switches and electrical, and lots of time and effort. if you dont know how to fabricate i dont suggest you attempt this. this is difficult work and time consuming. it took me months from the time i took out my dashboard, to the day the new one was finished.

also, it isnt very wise to openly post your phone number on the internet.



i havent posted a youtube vid of this, but i really want to soon . just need to find time.


also i found some nice padding for the frame where the passenger sits. pics and vid will be soon.

 

[Azzy]

Looks slick. Making me re-think doing covers for the AC controls.
