Exciting times – At long last, final graphics in-hand! The aim is to get these on this weekend (or so). I even purchased some felt covered magnets for the job.

Getting there on the graphics... I didn’t have as much time as I hoped to this weekend. Finished the hood and a bit of the driver side. Looking forward to posting completed pics soon! The wife will be headed to a mother/ daughter college Mother’s Day weekend event this Friday through Sunday and there will be my window to get back to it. Here's where she currently stands (and as an FYI, those are scab wheels/tires and flares. The good stuff gets put on later).

 

 

 

In the meantime, I was inspired with another modified grille idea to compliment the Comanche’s new stripes. This grilles metamorphosis is much easier than the full knock-out/mesh grille build I did a couple years back. I still need to trim around the grille mounting ‘boxes’ and then do a light plastic-fill at the trim locations, sand, and paint. Will see which grille I end up going with. Having options is good.

 

 

 

Finally, the topside of the Warn solenoid box has been empty for several years. The domed M8000 sticker that came on it hazed over couple months after I installed it and looked real bad. Not sure why that happened. That empty spot has been nagging at me ever since. Yes, I have the Warn emblem front side I had done but needed something back on top.

 

 

Jeep had a decal many moons back (I believe for CJ or SJ factory winch installs) that inspired me. Here’s the rectangular original (not a fan of the glossy finish) and the tribute I made below for my solenoid box. Will get it produced in either a domed emblem or a high heat friendly decal. Many of the under the hood stickers I have had done online is through uPrinting or StickerApp. I create the artwork and they produce the decal in the appropriate spec based on location/ temp/ etc.
