HERE IS ONE OF THE OTHER PRODUCTS ARN BOUGHT. THESE ARE A GREAT UPGRADE TO STOCK MIRRORS.. ALSO THEY ARE DIRECT BOLT UPS. 

HERE ARE BOTH HINGES BOLTED UP AND NEW STRIKER INSTALLED.. LOOKS GREAT. 

FIRST THINGS FIRST... ARN BOUGHT SOME NEW STAINLESS PHILLIPS HARDWARE AND A BUSHING SET FOR THE HARDDOOR HINGES. SOME MINOR GRINDING WAS REQUIRED FOR MAKING ROOM FOR BUSHINGS.  

HERE'S ARN

I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS MOMENT TO INTODUCE ARN, AND HIS RIG.... IN THE COMING POSTS YOU WILL SEE MANY UPGRADES ON HIS TOYOTA LANDCRUISER. HE DESERVES THANKS FROM ME FOR NEGLECTING HIS RIG TO MAKE SURE MINE TURNS HEADS ON THE TRAIL. THANKS BRO. 

BAM

LOOKS GREAT. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE WE DECIDED TO PUT IT ON TACKIE. CAN'T WAIT.... 

ANOTHER SHOT 

IT'S ALIVE... WE ARE MAKING SOME GOOD PROGRESS. WE CLEANED UP THE WINDSHIELD FRAME, AND PAINTED IT. 

FINISHED PRODUCT

 

AFTER ALL THAT WORK ON THE AXLES WE DECIDED TO REBUILD THE SPRING HANGERS...WELL AT LEAST ARN TALKED ME INTO IT. SO WE STARTED OUT WITH A TRIANGLE PIECE OF PLATE. THEN WELDED THE TUBE FOR BUSHINGS. ALL AND ALL IT WORKED OUT WELL. 

Good Help

HERE IS ARN WORKING ON THE STEERING. LOOK AT THE CONCENTRATION. 

Close up of the badge. Little nicer but still recommend that you stay a few feet away ;) 

New bench seat to go in. Much nicer then the junkyard one that is in there now. Thanks Big Jack. 

Head on shot ... looks more and more like a jeep .. you can see we need to tie the brakelines up .. There is a york in the upright position under the hood .. we were worried about the clearance. 

Hinge mounte close up. We decided to paint these with hammerite instead of "body color" 

Windshield hinges painted and mounted. We welded on the mirror attachment. We made these some time ago but this time around Big Jack sand blasted them for us nice and pretty. 

Rockers mounted and we touched up the badge a bit. Also notice the windsheild hinges 

One more of the hood. You can kind of see the rockers and the hinges. Nice zinc coated grade 8 hardware and painted w/hammerite. 

We never intended the jeep to be less then a 10 footer but it looks EXCELLENT. After all its a jeep and will get scratched and dented and Chad will probably roll it :D 

Hood is on. We will probably end up sanding everything to get a constant color 

Dads garage helper 

So the spark plug wires cleaned up a little with a few minutes and zip ties. Chad just needs to get some new ends to make them look nice and pretty. 

One more of the dash. We are going to match the lower and upper windsheild voids with aluminum. 

Not sure if there have been any posts about the dash yet but we are going with a custom aluminum dash. Well mix custom/aftermarket guages with stock and aftermarket switches. Will turn out nice. 

excellent tunnel cover. Big Jack again to the rescue with the milled dual t-case shifter slots. Tunnel cover is 3/8s marine grade aluminum diamond plate ... scrap of course :) 

The shocks a lot more vertical. We had to move them due to interference. They are currently in the 12 oclock position and were in the 10 oclock as evident by the cut out in the inner fender.
