Exhaust time

It was a comedy of errors this morning.

1) Get it on and go over to drop it off... no issue
2) Get there, starter won't engage, brand new reman last month... awesome... bang on it, won't start... pop start it and the kid driving it on the lift stalls it... won't start... push it on.
3) Get new starter and run it back to them, so they will put it on ... and then I have to run to get back to work.
4) I should pick it up at 430 or so, hopefully the starter is fine, and then go return the one under warranty.

I then get a call.

Basically, was asking if they should cut the other mudflap or not for the dual exhaust. I just left the flaps on so they can see where they were to route them.
Basically I left the flares and mud flaps on so they can see, then remove all of it and then I can actually run the decals.

The one flap from the 6 cylinder has the half moon cut, the other one doesn't... I will have them both with half moons when they are done because the 360 never came with it.

Fun Thursday... oh and we are about to get drenched, so driving home without the windshield glass will be a wet one.

I have to admit I wasn't a big fan of that green at first but along with the interior and the decals it looks great. However I don't think it would look 1/2 as good without that rocker trim. How do you keep that windshield so clean? :rotfl: Excellent work.
 
I was hoping it would turn out decent, but yes, between the white wheels, the white JEEP side logo, the paint, decals, trim and interior, it all is melding together pretty nicely.

and on top of that, the new exhaust, it sounds like a muscle car, all in all... coming together nicely.
 
Yep, It didn't look too good as a plain green truck but it's looking good now.

I agree. The green wasn't turning me on. But with the seats, dash and stripes she's awesome.
 
Thanks for rotating the spare. I can rest now. Looks great. Pop pity pop with those decals. Ditto about the position of the hood ones. Most important. Before I took off my originals for paint I took all the measurements as I really like where mine are located. And being yours is an honorary Aussie Renegade then maybe it would be the right thing to do. Just let me know and I'll post em up if interested.

Gazzo, if you could make a few measurements, it could help.
The Jeep is not honorary in the terms of it being a Renegade, it was originally, here is one of the 2 photos I have that I have been working off of, unfortunately the hood that was on there was primered and had no traces of the decals.

That being said, the Green is a different shade.
This one does not appear to have the side stripes.
There are 15x8 rims on a 1983 Jeep CJ-7, so that doesn't seem right.
There are double ribs on that windshield making me think that this picture was not when they first got it... of maybe it was, but it was not when it was 1983 NEW and got it... as it looks to be replaced, however, that could have been for a variety of reasons.

The tires/rubber shown make me think it is a newer picture as well as the lettering makes me think it is more 90's than 80's.

However, this was to pay homage to the Jeep and I am trying to capture all that would have been there in 1983 and using original parts, etc.

I like the mirrors I have now vs. those and I don't have lights... side steps I am not sure about yet.

I have a pair of sidesteps in a box. They need some work. They were gifted to me, so I could gift them on to you.

That is very generous of you... I think it would look cool to have a pair on there even if I don't end up actually using them to get in.

I just wish you weren't so far away in the new place... like a 4 hour round trip.
Although, if I were to also bring home that Scrambler ;)

Scrambler still here and probably will be for a while. The side steps are by no means mint. I think there is a bolt broken off in one hole and would probably would need to be blasted and repainted to fit with finishes on your jeep. I'd be willing to split the cost of shipping them up to you if you want which is better than a 4 hr drive for sure. Again for you I will gift the steps for no cost. Also, I can try to grab a few pictures if you want. Let me know.

The BFG MT's that Dad put on our Scrambler in 1986-87 said "Radial Mud Terrain" The later BFG's just say "Mud Terrain, so those AT's pictured could easily be 80's tires.
