SCJEEPER'S Build to Now!

[SCJeeper]

That would be the electrical tape that I used tie the ribbon to the steps. Can't even tell it is there. I will have to take the bows off the mirrors for the trip to the parade and put them back on when I get there. No way that they would survive the trip. Last year I had a wreath on the bumper but I could not find it this year so oh well. I would have loved to have had lights on it but I didn't put the ciggy lighter back in the jeep after all the dash issues so I have no power for them.

GRAPHICS HAVE BEGUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that my brother is doing a great job considering how custom in nature these decals have become. They will not be as much like the originals at least on the front fenders as I thought they would be but it is because of the flares. The colors are amazing especially in person. It has been kind of hit or miss on when he is able to work on it considering it is not making the company any money so paying jobs get put first. So far he has the thick stripes on the passenger side and the SCRAMBLER on the passenger side of the hood. He still has to do the pinstriping on the thick stripes as well. Im really excited about how it is coming out.

As requested......new avatar image and I am playing with having an image in my signature. Hope it works! It is two of my loves together, only thing that would make it better is if my boy was in the picture. I may have to try to get a new family portrait :-)!
Update time......I got a lot of the finishing touches with Christmas money and planned to have put them on yesterday but me and some buddies took a trip to ride four wheelers all day yesterday. Loaded the 250 up and took of with a truck load of buddies and a good time was had by all. Of course I must have the most fortitude of any of my buddies.....I was the only one with a two wheel drive four wheeler and I hit every questionable hole first! Of course I got stuck twice but that is part of the fun getting winched out.
The one in the midde is my best friends new Honda 500 with ITP mudders on it. It dwarfs my 400 on the front of the trailer. I bet he spent hours cleaning that thing last night and it twenty five degrees outside hahaha pier pressure is the greatest thing ever when it comes to being stupid!

Just what I need

Well I picked up something to occupy my time when I am not working on the Jeep. Nothing like another project !
We got a couple of these in on trade at work and the deal was too good to pass up. I got one and my father in law bought one. I sweetened the deal with a brand new set of styker 22" tires to replace the turf tires that the golf course had on them. I have some plans for mine. Jess' dad will be using his on job sites so it will probably stay pretty factory. BORING!!!

This afternoon:

My Plans:
Spring over
welded rear end
power clutch
maybe 25" ITP's eventually but these tires are brand spanking new so no rush. I'll do the spring over soon though.

Well it seems as if the build of the 8 has come to a hault for a bit. I just had to put new injectors in my 7.3F250. Lets just say that its hurting the old wallet pretty bad. I still will probably go ahead and paint the wheels white and work on the half soft top idea since that really wont cost anything in the scheme of things. The weather has sucked here lately so i have got to do much anyway.

Had an awesome weekend here in SC! Got a little seat time without the doors on yesterday. Got my rear seat installed yesterday so that was a nice little project finished. Now just to figure out how to install the baby seat.....mmmmmm........new thread I think! I'll shoot a couple of pics later and post but everyone knows what a rear seat looks like. I still have to take the bulkhead out but I'm just hesitant to do it for some reason, oh yeah because I'm still working on the half soft top.

Pics of seat....

Well as I stated in previous post work on the jeep has virtually stopped. I did manage to find some time this weekend to get some thing that I had already purchased on. Just some dressup stuff for the dash. I was in vegas a couple of weeks ago and Jess sent me some pics of Landon working on the Jeep while I was gone. Hes a natural!

 

[bigwalton]

The pics and that shirt are AWESOME!!

Well I had a little time this afternoon while the wife was grocery shopping and after I got the grass cut. I decided to paint my dash pad tan to match the interior. I used the same paint that i used to paint the sun visors and it turned out great. I used a whole can of the paint just to make sure that it was good and covered. I also decided to go ahead and give painting a wheel a try. I am really happy with how it turned out. This wheel is really crappy anyway so even though it has a run or two it looks better than it did originally. As cheap as powder coating is I may go that route. Enjoy the pics!

Another beautiful warm day in SC yesterday. Jess is off for spring break this week so that is nice. I came home after work and Jess and Landon played outside and she gave me a hand getting the soft top off so I COULD START THE PROCESS OF THE HALF SOFT TOP!!! I do have to say that it will be very awesome. All I got done yesterday before I had the put the full top back up was kind of laying the other skin on the hardware and seeing what is going to have to be trimmed or added to. I was in a hurry so I didn't think to take any pictures but just off the top I saw that I was going to have to change the height of the bow that goes in front of the roll bar. Apparently the old soft tops were taller than the new ones. This is no problem because I have an extra set of bows that I can use. The width is really fine I will be able to use velcro like on my full soft top for the door surrounds to wrap around the bars. The biggest question right now is how the cut it and attach it to the windshield. While I had the windshield loose I got the dash pad back on and it looks great.
