Building a Brute

[Schlap]

Bought some paintable fender flares from craigslist. Fully assembled except for those.

 

[Schlap]

Couldn't figure out what to do about seats so I bought custom seat covers & put them over my original tan seats. My wife wanted the original seats reupholstered in a blue plaid fabric like her sister's old Scout. We couldn't find the fabric she wanted

 

[Schlap]

My daughter & I took it for a drive. It rides great. Definitely better than it used to.

 

[Schlap]

Gassing her up for the drive home. I couldn't come up with paintable fender flare extensions & there were holes in the body where they would mount. My daughter Daisy has named it BlueJay. Tom, owner of Tom's 4x4 Superstore, made the name-plates. Daisy loves them

 

[Schlap]

Tom also custom fabbed the rear corner guards based on the ones AEV used to sell that he has on his yellow Brute.
I'll take more pix tomorrow & post them next chance I get, hopefully tomorrow. Daisy's coming home tomorrow & she keeps me busy.

That looks really cool. I like it

That looks great. The dimensions on the Brute work really well, so much better than the JK8

That looks awesome

 

[jerseyjeeps]

Agreed. The Brute TJ front end is so much better than the JK also. Gobs better IMHO. That's awesome. Love it. And love the color !

And that's how you go from awesome to outstanding!

The Scrambler feels neglected.
