I don't have a garage so I have been buying things to work on my jeep when it gets warmer..when we had a couple of warm days I tried out a color on the grill I think I am going to go with....It is called Intense Pearl Blue (seen on alot of Dodge trucks)
nice jeep debbie
I am thinking of this as a color scheme..an avon bottle!
Thankyou Paulie ;D
hey the color looks like woodys big blue jeep
I never thought of that!! OH NO! :D ;D
haha
Don't tell Woody but mine is FASTER than his Paulie! ;) :D
looks great,keep us posted on it. applaudd applaudd applaudd
i bet
Right now I am pulling studs out of a brand new set of tires....got one done!!! ;D 3 to go!
Thankyou JJ ;D
I like the color......looks great!
look good debbie
Thanks Jeff and HWJOHN! ;D
I got the studs pulled out of three tires now...one to go! ;D
Cool. I would love to find a DJ make one for Off road.
What you going to do with that front dummy axle? If your going to sell it let me know please. Been looking got one for a Flat bed trailer for hay rides.
Do I have a front dummy axle? I think thats my bumper ;D ....studs out of all 4 tires now....snow plow put a huge snow pile behind my jeep so I can't get it out :(
I have gotten some stuff for it thru the winter...I bought trim that goes over the rollers on the tops of the sliding doors, and new turn signal lens which I had to buy four because the turn signals stand up on the fenders and are two sided..and today i ordered a fuel tank filler neck grommet...I have dark tint for the windows too..and I have bought some pin striping for the sides..I also have been stocking up on intense blue pearl paint for when it gets warmer...soon as I get some extra bucks I am going to order all new door seals...
Dug threw 5 feet of snow plow snow pile but finally got jeep unburied yesterday and back on the drive...Took the old slider door seals off today and put brand new ones on..I think the old door seals had been on since 1974 and were in awful shape! ....sanded off the blue paint on the grill..thinking of going grabber green..the paint is much cheaper than intense pearl blue!
got any new pics
truthfully the new pics aren't that different from the old pics... ;D I will add one...paint on grill is sanded partially off..
i like it . i want 1 too
we can share ;D
my jeep needs your tires Don :D
we might have to cut the fenders alittle
I will get the saw! ;D
wait did i lose my tires ? damn. time togo bigger
I had a hell of a time getting out of the snowbank :D I do have new tires to put on but not bigger ones..Have a new set I had to pull the studs out of this past winter!
u going to call it mean green 2 if u paint it green
Jeepin John would like that! I think it will stay white on top where Jeepin Johns is black on top ;) but Grabber green is much more affordable paint!
GRABBER GONE POSTAL ! ==np THE ( NICE ) GREEN ! quiett ;D
;D Hi JJ....:P
hi. ;D
going green as we speak... ;D
GOING POSTAL IS GOING GREEN ;D jeepp ==woot ::)

Tinted back window today with window film.... ;D poor mans tint ;)
==kp
Thanks Jeff ;D
i like the green!
Thank you...I didn't at first but I am starting to! ;D hard to change from blue to green but more affordable! Grabber green comes in a much bigger can for about $2 cheaper! ;D and covers better!
looking good like the green and tinted window
Thank you....didn't I meet you once at Delaney?
LOOKS GREAT GREEN!!!! AWESOME LITTLE JEEP :)
Thankyou! ;D I am so excited about it ;D and painting it and doing what I can myself makes it more special to me...after all I am just the T-shirt lady ;D
Had my new tires put on today....the ones that I pulled all the studs out of this winter ;D
u going to come out to dozers and orleans this year
Quote from: 355REDNECK on March 22, 2011, 01:05:10 AM
u going to come out to dozers and orleans this year
yup for sure! ;D
u going to be at the first orleans mud bog
I will write it in my Calendar....its in April isn't it?
april 17 hope the weather is good because usauly gets canceld. dozers i think is april 30
Whats that thing on the top of it?
There is a vent on top..it opens and closes with a lever inside on the ceiling...something they all had..and what you see is like a vent shield..eventually I want to replace this with a sunroof that opens and closes...sometime when it gets covered in snow I put a box over the top so it doesn't get loaded with snow and then cause leakage as snow melts.. ;D thanks for asking
i think red would be sweet. with white stripes
I painted more GREEN yesterday (not RED burl ;) ) did the strip behind the hood green....put new carpet in the back and on the postal tray(this tray is where the passenger seat should be) and took the old window film and decals out of the side back windows...used Goop hand cleaner to get the strong smelling glue off the windows! wish the weather would stay nice so I can paint more ;D
keep up the good work
Hi Jeff ;D Thanks! ...I am reading my service manual right now and I just found out my gas tank is 11 gallons! WOOOO I am gonna go far! ;D
;D ;D going green :P Did some more painting today ;D
SWEET!!!
Thankyou ;D
I like that green.......looks kinda fast sittin there ;D !!!
I got stuck in a snowbank yesterday ;D wasn't fast :D ;D

==hmmm purple and yellow..?
seriously????????
Yup, or pink and purple, yes definitely pink, and purple pinstripes! Thats it! Wheels and bumpers and stuff pink and purple pinstripes, itll be awesome!
Not yellow, I was havin trouble rememberin - lime green, pink, and purple go together real well, but the purple is very strong and too much will clash with the lime green, but the pink is soft and will not clash - it will make the green pop, accent it with medium dark purple pinstripes using a tribal graphic type pattern ;D
I have a model of a Jeep CJ7 that is blue with pink stripe across side with big yellow paint slash across that
now I have to get out my crayons and practice putting pinks purples and greens together :P
They only give me the really big crayons, I dont like them ==pissed
I will share..I have BIG KID CRAYONS ;D
Hee hee!
Tinted back side window today..NOT FUN! ;D .... 2 down one to go!
That green is my fav color ...my shocks are painted that color ...looks awsome!!!
Thankyou Trailman..I didn't like green at first (I am a bight blue person) but I love it now and love the attention it gets where ever I go...
I just put a new fanbelt on...no more squeel! who said you can't teach an old lady some new things is wrong! I did good! ;D
My mentors are my Dad and Jeepin John...I also rely on my shop manual...I also watched Blazin4door when I broke down last fall and he put the belt back on...Thanks to all.... ;D
all back windows are tinted now and the small side window...too cold for me to work on anything more today! BRRRRR...one small window yet to tint...
==gj ==rocks
you guys are great ;D
Is it about time to put the front axle under there..? ;D
I wish! ;D

did some painting on the fenders today.....
I have brand new turn signal lenses front and back which will probably be next ;D on the front fenders..
Lookin good!!!!!
Thankyou! Its starting to come around! ;D ....little bit at a time ;)
Thanks Jeff and your new Wrap looks AWESOME on Big Blue! ;D
put the new front lenses on the turn signals today...will need help to do the backs....they don't make the backs anymore so you have to buy an extra set of fronts and make them work....here are pics of the old and new together...new fronts on Jeep ;D ....very orange and new looking! WOOT WOOT! ++peace
looks great,keep up the great work. applaudd applaudd applaudd
Thankyou JJ ;D
put these Jeep words on both sides yesterday..not sure if they will stay on...look good but just not made to stay on..they are hollow letters with sticky tape on back...not much for two sided tape to stick to...I will probably look for better quality Jeep words... :(
added this too ;D :P
finished tinting windows ...put in new weather window seal in drivers side window....makes it so window is not rattleing and is now in there tight..was none before.... it is "the fuzzy stuff channel" that holds the sliding window ..only did one side for now.... $27 for one side
put the roller covers (weather guards for rollers) on both doors today...had to sand and paint above both windows first...another little thing done! ;D
I love this Jeep... Very cool rig.
Thankyou ;D
Its gettin greener all the time! Good thing puttin all the seals and stuff on new, saves the floor from rottin ;D

nice jeep
just put in new battery, alternator and repaired all 4 wires to alternator..two were broke in half and two were cracked almost all the way thru...ready to deliver the mail ;D
Sweet.
on my route one of the wires to the starter cable came off...a stranger at a country store where I got gas reattached it and I was back on my way..THANK YOU STRANGER WHOEVER YOU ARE!....Those washboard back roads really loosen stuff up on my jeep...keeps me on my toes!
ready for warm weather...parked the jeep and tarped it for the winter..want to put on new carbeurator in jeep this spring ;D carb floods out on washboard roads..Jeep was to small for the christmas mail load! To many big packages so I had to use my van
added some graphics
;D
This one turned out to be really slick! Looks awesome!! Good job!! applaudd applaudd applaudd ;D
Nice work
Thank you..it also got a new carburator.. and some other stuff I will add pics ;D
roof rack and lights
++peace
;D
thats cool!
Thank you ;D
Lookin good!! ++peace
Definately needs a lift and some 33-35s nothin to big.
And of course a sbc ;)
I wanted to build one of them one time but the guy down the road from me sold it after he told me he
Would sell it to me
LOOKS GREAT DEB ! NICE JOB,ON IT !
Thanks JJ
hey deb if you need help with the lift or anything for that matter on it, let me know
I think you should go all led lights on it! And where did you get those lights on the roof from?
very nice project looks great applaudd

I think you should go all led lights on it! And where did you get those lights on the roof from?
I got them off EBAY.. like all my other stuff.. of course nothing is made for a postal so you have to take many measurements first! The rack is a cut down from an S10 pick up.. lights are nothing fancy and universal for any vehicle.. had to take measurements of course to find the correct one..

This would be awesome and I would be honored for some help.. gotta figure out why I have flooding carbuerator problems first..I parked her for winter right now.. washboard roads make the carbuerator flood out... and its a new carb..
I like the roof rack and the lights because it hides that funny looking vent that's on the roof....
if its any help... me and my dad scrapped out 2 of these last spring.... one is a 83 w/ a 4cyl and the other was a 75 with straight 6... the 6 needed a flywheel otherwise was road worthy.... the 84 snapped a cam... had a complete frontclip on it from texas
i believe he scrapped them at barnums auto salvage in millington mi....
