It's always all good. I love the banter that's gone on in this thread about everyone's Jeeps new and old.
That CJ-7 is a total chick magnet. 2 doors of course. No 4 door pozers please.So, here's where things start to take the retro turn. I'm in my early 40's so the Jeeps I grew up ogling were the CJs. I just love this particular style of stripes on the Renegades. I've reached out to Pixel Decals to rework them a bit to fit the proportions of the JL. Hopefully, I'll see them this summer but he did warn me that he has a lot of projects on his plate.
And the CJ5 is even more magnetized!!!
I came back to your thread again.I'll get better pics cuz I was losing daylight but got the hood stripes on this afternoon.
And to think that little JLR might be supercharged someday, just winning in every direction!
I will love you forever if you can tell me where you got that bumper/ how you made it. That thing is beautifulDon’t flame me on my JKUR In this JL forum. I owned a new out of the box 1984 CJ-7 my first vehicle I bought with my own money and drive until until 2004. Inspired my next buy.
Not my bumper but looks like it would be pretty simple to make. Looks like 6x6 3/16 inch square tube, slice it down the middle and get some JK d ring mount’s. The hoop might require some researching. That’s similar to mine.
Also not mine, but the Warrior Products 3" universal would make an easy bolt-on for the hoop.
Sorry for the delay in replying to this. I haven’t been online for a while.
Thanks! I actually already have begun working on my own as well! I had a metal shop bend me up some 10 gauge steel. Here’s how it looks before I bolt it up with the d ring mounts. I also will be adding a semi hidden winch into the bumper.Sorry for the delay in replying to this. I haven’t been online for a while.
I had that bumper made in 2009 by a member of either this or another JK forum. It’s 7 gauge flat steel, brake shaped, laser cut rounded edges and factory fog light cutouts with welded light brackets on the inside. I added the Rugged Ridge brackets, towing bracket and hoop, all of it unbolts.
I took it off recently and replaced it with a different stubby bumper for my new winch. It’s in perfect condition.
It’s currently sitting in my garage and for sale. PM if you want to discuss. Here’s a picture of it before I removed it.
Looks good! Keep posting pictures of it.Thanks! I actually already have begun working on my own as well! I had a metal shop bend me up some 10 gauge steel. Here’s how it looks before I bolt it up with the d ring mounts. I also will be adding a semi hidden winch into the bumper.
I'm still waiting on my front gears from Quadratec ?. I can only assume that Jeep is getting first dibs on 4.56s for the XR package but I don't know how they're splitting up the rest of the supply. I just know that I've been on the backlog for over a year now. At this point, I'm seriously debating forcing them to take back the rear gears I do have and going with 4.88s if they can actually fulfill those.
