Not sure if I've already said this, but the dash looks pretty cool. Good idea.

rr41mag - Your CJ is really looking great. I can't believe how fast you've put it together (it's making the rest of us look bad ).

Great job, can't wait to see the finished product - Bill

Thanks abunch yall I appreciate it. I want to turn it around in the tent so I cranked it up drove out to the street and turned around. I had no brakes and when I almost got back down the driveway the z bar popped off one of the ball mounts. ?????

After my little test drive down the drive way I got those problems fixed. I need my windshield frame bad, gonna gocheck on it again today. Thanks everyone for your help! Here are a few before and after pictures.

Everything came together yesterday since I got everything electrical working. With the exception of the gas gauge, it reads full with 6 gallons of gas. I'll figure that out in time. Getting ready to shoot the next coat of silver then clear. When you are working on the dash wiring run a ground back to the body. Stuff works better with a ground.

Gonna modify the roll cage. I really want it to be closer to the wind sheild.

 

[rr41mag]

Got started on the roll cage today. I'm gonna mount it at the base of the wind shield. I worked on the brakets tonight.

A picture of the new widsheild that I waited two weeks for. Can't get much done when the sun goes down so quick.

I got the front loop in before it got too cool outside. I hope to finish it up tomorrow. Then I want to take the winch off and cut a piece of diamond plate to cover the frame. Then it's on to paint. Another coat of silver then many coats of clear.

 

[rr41mag]

I got blessed with a beautiful day today and got quite a bit accomplished. I had to install the 35"s just for gee wizz. Tomorrow test drive!!!!!

 

[rr41mag]

Still finding places to put some of the leftover diamond plate.

Great build!

 

[JR74CJ5]

[rr41mag]

[rr41mag]

Looks freaking good. Awesome paint job!

 

[rr41mag]

Thank You very much. The flames didn't turn out like I wanted. hmmmmmm....Just wondering if I should keep trying?

 

[rr41mag]

I took her for the test drive Saturday, Just so happens it was my birthday. Needless to say I was very pleased. All that I could find wrong was the shifter hole needs to be cut out a little more. It kept popping out of second. I have the 2100 ready to go on but the original carter runs so good right now.
