Just one detail I noticed, if i can offer constructive advice? The doors. Those are full steel doors and should have a window frame. A small thing to be sure, and since I don't know exactly how acurate you were trying to be, well... thought i'd mention it. I'll shut up now.

Seriously awesome rig tho!


While i enjoy your fastidious, meticulous attention to detail, I bought the body this way and can do nothing about it now.

There are a million TJ's in this world and I'm sure there's gotta be atleast one guy out there that has a custom cage with full doors with the window frame gone. maybe not, but im not sifiting through google images to find out for sure.

I wasn't trying to get too accurate with this. Just enough to get by. Thanks

Carbs doing great after a good cleaning! Idle screw is the only issue weve been tinkering with.

i was just gonna say, it wouldnt take long to make styrene window frames but it sounds like youve got it worked out

So, with the right tires, would this be considered a Class 1 rig? Would those fenders be legal?

I've thought about that myself, this would be a nice C1 rig. I dont expect to win, but I would enjoy wheeling it in a C1 comp.

Your "garage" is housing some sweet rigs.

I saw this jeep in person this weekend and wow... its such a compact neat little rig. It flexes perfectly, tucks the tires right into the fenders like it came from the factory that way and Richard has done a marvelous job creating one of the coolest rigs I've ever held in my hands. You guys who are nit picking it need to see it in person. Its just awesome!
