|  A JK 2-door with purdy bits and stuff.....
I've had a few projects on the go as of late, most of which have been pretty involved/slow..... Time for a quickie!!! ::2thumbs Taking direct inspiration from Sir Thatguys' quick Jerp/Yota/Jerp build I thought I'd throw together a bunch of bits I had laying about to make a fun lil Jerp! I had a yellow JK 2-door body on the shelf and I stole the GCM Skeleton chassis out from under Crusty the Jerp. The plan was to paint it matt white, no doors etc etc. I started off priming it with the usual automotive primer that I usually use,this lead to all kinds of fun and interesting paint reactions! Much rubbing back later I went with Tamiya primer and all was good. I then tried the white...... Resulting in many funky yellow blotches/bleed-thru. Time for plan B. Hello plan B!! COMMANDO GRRRRRRREEEN!  |

The best match to the Jeep Commado green I could find was Tamiya AS-14 USAF Olive Green. This is a matt colour so many, many, many coats of gloss clear later it came out shiney! (I didn't want it to look like an army Jerp). I added a bit of a fun stripe too. For fun....    |

Grey barwork is the new black so I sandblasted the RC4WD front bar and repainted it Tamiya German Grey.  I removed the moulded seats..  Because I don't like them and because I wanted to fit this guy!  |

The rear bumper is ready to go! It's an RC4WD bar that I sand-blasted, narrowed and reshaped at the ends and added a highlift jack mount... It copped a coat of grey to match the front.  The hardtop copped a headliner courtesy of left-overs from the headliner in my 1:1 Jerp.....  I painted and detailed the dash and made up some sill plates.....    |

It's not a Jeep without a cage! This was my first time working with brakeline, it was a learning experience.... I could only find coiled lengths and it was galvanised. So I had to straighten it first and strip the galv.. Fun!    |

I used the existing holes in the body as mounting points and tapped M4 threads into the ends of the cage...   It had to fit under the hardtop..  |
