RockMJ Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Well I'd love to see what you produce I could be the first buyer. I'm not all that great with illustrator, photoshop yes, but not had the practice in AI. When you printed them did they show pixelation? I know vector printing should be crisper but again minimal experience. What kind of customization are you thinking just color schemes? Not a problem man, I have a few people interested for sure. Ive been stupidly busy so I havent had much time to work on them. There was no distortion or pixelation with printing as I created them at a super high resolution so when it was compressed down to a normal print sheet it came out super clean. And when it comes to customization I can do basically anything you want. Colors, designs, etc. I just need to create the templates first and foremost and then were good to go RockMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I just found your build thread :cheers: My computer is down and I am at work, so I will have to go back and look at more than the pictures ;) when I am back up and running. This thing is a "Dream Machine!" Well done Rock - I can't wait to help with the next phase of the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exxon Valdez Jeep Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 not bad, needs some 97+ mirrors though :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88elimnator Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Nice truck, how did you make the gauge inlays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpace6a Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I love the color, mines a funny copper orange, and I've been wondering how it would look with all the stupid chrome painted black, and you just showed me! :cheers: Your attention to detail is awesome, and quite inspiring! Thankfully...I have nice, clean, OE black interior :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockMJ Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 haha yeah thanks guys! I purchased some 97+ mirrors but I decided against them until I can actually get my hands on some OEM units. The replacement mirrors are really poorly constructed and the glass does not produce a good image. So until I find some OEM ones ill keep my old ones. They are constructed so much better Rich, next phase is going to be getting the lift under her and upgrading to some 35's and building a rear 44 with gears, shafts, truss, etc. I would love the help man. The gauge inlays I created in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. I took my gauge cluster out and after hours of measurements I finally created an accurate reproduction. It was a super big PITA though. Yeah, I wish my interior wasnt thrashed when I bought it but its to be expected when its neglected for so long. I am very pleased with the interior overall and the paint is surprisingly durable! Sorry about not answering the questions in order received, I'm tired lol RockMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockMJ Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 So I have a small update on the MJ. I finally purchased a 97+ antenna mast setup from a guy on JF. That is about all ive done to the MJ in the past weeks due to other priorities. Ive been working like a mad man on getting a few music tracks finished that I started and had not finished. If anyone is curious the link to my music page is in my sig. Its all electronic music with a mixture of deep chillstep/dubstep and progressive trance. Interesting stuff ive been told Things I need to do to the MJ soon: -Front brakelines -Bleed brakes RockMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockMJ Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Not much of an update, but I gave the MJ her first bath since the restoration. Of course, here are the pics. I just keep picturing it in my head with a 4" lift and 35's. Incredible Look at that shine... Shaded side Mmm...nice rear I look forward to getting the antenna installed this week. It looks naked without it RockMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMJ Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 Been doing a bit of reading on the brake upgrades and being as my MJ hasnt been driven due to the brakes, its time to get it done. I'm going to pick up a new Brake Booster and Brake MC from Crown for a 99-04 WJ and ill source the lines from the salvage yard if possible. If not, ill just run new lines, cut, flare, and bend them properly. I plan on doing this very soon so I can finally start driving the MJ daily. Damn brakes. Here are the links to the stuff http://www.crownautomotive.net/product/WJ-Brake-Hydraulics/5011261AB.html http://www.crownautomotive.net/product/WJ-Brake-Hydraulics/5011260AA.html RockMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, where I do my business aint none yo bizzness lol. Luckily for me, the MJ has zero rust on it so I really don't need to run new lines.

RockMJ Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Forgot to mention the recent 105 amp alternator upgrade, new serpentine belt, and new battery terminals and wires. Jeep runs much better now and with the AC on full blast the amp meter barely moves. I be happy :yes: RockMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMJ Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Seen you were selling on jeep forum? Whats going on? Family is going to be growing so I need something bigger. I also plan to take a few bucks from the sale and put it into our music studio were building. My wife doesnt want me to sell it but ill be sticking with a Jeep either way. Looking for a nice, stock or slightly modified 97+ XJ or even a 5.9. Willing to trade if the vehicle is right as well. I appreciate the concern!

I was going to have the steering wheel color matched to the toxic orange paint but I decided against it. I love the sleek mixture of silver and black on the interior.

RockMJ Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Not much of an update on the MJ other than its up for sale on eBay and locally. Really crappy, but its time to part ways with the old girl. The listing is ending Wednesday of this week and the bidding is almost at my reserve so its looking like next weekend she will be at a new home. Here is a pic of how she is sitting today entertaining traffic with a For Sale sign. Ive gotten a surprising amount of calls and offers on the Jeep but I'm sticking to my guns and not letting her go for pennies RockMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
