Bought myself something I have wanted awhile:

I just LOVE that you have a postal grill hanging on the wall.  (VERY nice patio by the way.  I'm a bit envious.)  The grill in my avatar is a NOS one that I found.  It, or one of the others in my collection, might become "wall art" too at some point.

Yup its on my list to make. I'll work my way through the various grills, 96 and 97 XJ, ZJ, SJ, FC, etc etc I really want to have a complete lineup so there is something for everyone.

 

I'd love to have a MJ/XJ key hanger with a bunch if hooks on it - 8 would be perfect.

I hope you've been following David Tracy's Postal Jeep odyssey on Jalopnic.  If not, check it out.  He just wrapped up a wild 2000 mile trip to MOAB in it.

Ya its funny timing that you brought up the little known DJ grill hours after I sketched it, and hours after I took a couple of photos while I was sketching it out.

 

Since you asked I added a whole thread about the patio:

Right now the CJ has 7 hangers which sort of matches the number of slots, and I cannot add anymore without the hangers being too close for the keys. An XJ version could be a little wider since it doesn't taper, and I might be able to make 8 work. I think what I would likely do is make the 96- an 8 hanger, and the 97+ a 7 hanger.

 

This breaks down a bit for the J10s and such that don't have a clear grill slots arrangement.

 

I'm trying to decide if the DJ should have 5 key hangers or more right now.

Thanks so much for clueing me in!  I started at the beginning

and read the first couple of entries.  It was genuinely lol stuff.  Partly because of his writing style and partly because I can relate to some of his trials and tribulations.

No problem.  I enjoy reading his stuff quite a bit.  Every year he goes through hell getting a sub $1000 rust bucket Jeep together for that trip.  The comments are usually hilarious too.

Any updates? I'm looking into this maybe. Possibly the 4x3 table...
