Jurassic Park...The SUV!

Alright so some of you know Ive been painting my truck the last week, and I was going to wait to show it off at T-haven...But I know you all can't wait and I'm to proud of my hard work

So here are some pictures I took with my cell phone.

Still have more to do, need to remount the front bumper, wetsand the whole truck and put on the JP logos when they get here..

The entire paint job was done using a $10 air sprayer from Harbor Freight and Rustoleum paint. The green I actually custom made, as no color was available like that.


Here is the original...in case you forgot:

Added some new headlights. They look good, but the quality is absolutely garbage. Not sure how long they will last

They are just some Amazon garbage. Yes it's cold out, but trying to get stuff done before heading out to KOH.

It's too bad glass headlight lenses are thing of the past..

And polishing the haze off the plastic is short term fix. I'll bet those headlights will leak in the first rain storm.

looking closer they look alot like the ones on this one, to be honest. they havent leaked yet, just yours appear smoked, vs this one isnt.

JP's paint has faded pretty bad over the last few years after being left outside (blame the Navajo) For those who don't know, it was painted with Rust-Oleum and Harbor Freight paint gun. She never received a clear coat.

I was going to do a wet sand and a clear coat, but decided to try a different route. If you have ever seen a As Seen On TV type product for reviving faded lawn furniture and other stuff called Rejuvenate. I figured it's painted like lawn furniture, so why not.

I would Never recommend this on a normal car paint job.

Left side: Rejuvenate Right side: faded paint.

if its anything like single stages (is that the rustolleum automotive paints or no?) for those classic 105+205 halo combo on medium cut pads and some glaze seems to do the trick to revive single stages, but not sure about JP paint. looks great htough!!!!

It's just Rust-Oleum out of a normal paint can from Home Depot, like I want to paint this old Radio Flyer. It was cut a little to make it easier to spray. It's held up decent for what it is and how it's treated.

After all these years, today I got my first leak. Drove it to work today, and came out at lunch and saw a small puddle under it. There is a leak somewhere in the Power Steering system by the box. I'm going to take this opportunity and change the box. It steers like a old car chase movie. There is literally inch's of play in the steering. So I'm going to order a Redhead steering box for it. I love it in the Bronco.

I've driven cars like that. Makes for an exciting ride.

I'm sure the new box will feel great.

In my experience they always do.

I had a Datsun 280Z with that problem (along many, many others). Explaining to the cop that the reason I was all over the road was because of steering/suspension issues, at 5 am in the morning.. He thought I was intoxicated.
