I only had it on for a day or so. I want to see how it looks with the topper on :dunno: , but I am sure I will ony use it when I take it on a trip offroad. I had a real hard time getting the oil pan off to get to the RMS. It went on easy enough. I don't believe I could ever get it done in two hours though :cheers:

And the bra. I am next in line for the bra if Geonovast backs out :yes: JK - Rich

Sweet little cupcake ~ baked by the Devil :yes:

I had the topper painted a few months ago -> and added a 3rd brake light to it -> I have finally got in the aluminum pipe for the topper rack. I just need to get some time to head down to the shop and bend it up. I will post up progress pictures as soon as I can get on that. I don't think I ever said who made the topper :dunno: - it's made by ASTRO MFG. I have also been picking up the essentials for my attempt at automotive painting. After a few hours of research I decided on a HVLP paint gun kit made by Astro Pneumatic-> It included a 1.7mm (blue one) primer gun and a 1.3mm base coat/clear coat gun. I am really excited about trying this out on my own. I am going to paint my CJ7 first. Not much to it, so it should be perfect to start off on.

:huh???: Are you going to be ok?!?!? Way to push the CC cards :thumbsup: . I do it every chance I get.

Nice - wow - awesome - :drool: - she is a beaut :thumbsup: . Welcome to the club! Be sure to stop in here -> viewforum.php?f=21, so we can plan a M&G some day. :cheers: - Rich

Here is a Century Mark IV topper -> And mine off a junk yard MJ (made by Astro)-> Now with a coat of blue paint-> More pictures of the topper here -> viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8051&p=143907#p143907=

:drool: Does it have a factory rear SOA set-up? Oooh, is it a diesel too?????

It is almost impossible to get out of a community college parking lot down here without an ATV winch & chrome accessories :smart: :yes:

The frame is different than my CJ7. It also has the SOA in rear. :dunno: I will ask the owner if I get a chance.

I was heading into class today and I saw this Jeep in the parking lot. Thought I would share my cell phone quality shot -> I believe it is a CJ10a with the rear section ofCJ7 boxed in to make a small bed. :cheers:

:huh???: I disagree :waving: . I just picked up one of these up too Beaterjeep - for a future project.

You guys inspire me - looks darn good Backroads :banana: . I am going to watch the video and do my home work before giving this a try. But with several jeeps to paint, I should be able to get a nice finish by the 3rd :yes:

That is good to know, because the humidity is a problem here in Florida. I don't think I will have to worry about needing the forced heat :D . Thank you. Zero experience - but I am going to give it a try. Not a lot of body work to be done on the truck, so it is not that. Great starting advice and I appreciate the input :cheers: I hope I don't let you down :ack: Wow. I can't tell from the picture :thumbsup: Great! I plan on taking my time. I will probably hit a few of you up for some help as I go. I was willing to pay him 1500, but trying to work another $$$ out of me at the end is wrong. Any impressions on the ProSpray brand paints?

I am fed up with automotive painters. I finally convinced my frugal brain that I should really have my truck painted professionally. I have been talking with the painter for a while. He kept pushing the date ahead because of the weather and such. We had agreed on a price and it was going to be done this month. I went to see him yesterday and he can’t believe that he agreed to do it for the quoted price :fs1: . There is not way he would be able to do it for that price ($1,500). “Good gosh man, I would be close to that in just materials!” I say to heck with all of them, I am going to learn how to paint and do it myself. I have ordered an instructional DVD from this guy -> http://www.easypaintyourcar.com/, and I am going to give it a shot on my own. I am going to practice by painting my CJ7 first. This way I can have something to drive while the MJ is down and to gain some experience before tackling the truck. For those of you who have done painting yourself, do you have any tips/advice on painting your own vehicles? Any suggestions on tools that are a must have? Thanks - Rich

So do I my freind, so do I :thumbsup:

Don't know what I like more - the MJ or the HotWheels banner :dunno: . Nah, it's the MJ (but I really dig the banner). Oh yeah - Welcome to CC :cheers:

Looks good - nice job :thumbsup:

Banned may have been a bit harsh - I think he is in time out :D

As Cadences' daddy would say - if he wasn't constantly getting banned from the CC- We are proud of you Kid ;)

:agree: That was the only thing I would have suggested. It looks really nice in there - great job!

Dayem that is scary. :eek: I am glad to hear you both are ok. I would have soiled myself.

Wow, wow, wow. I really like your truck. I was originally trying to get Hellcats for my truck, but like Kittrell said - they have been out of production for years. There are so many new members and rigs it is hard to keep up - that is a very good thing. Welcome :cheers:

1) You have an awesome Dad 2) Super Nice Jeep 3) I am feeling a little "green" with envy 4) Welcome to the club :thumbsup: :cheers: - Rich

Black interior is :drool: . Looks like you have new rear springs - any information on them from the previous owner? Your Jeep looks great :popcorn: - long bed lover too :brows: .
