Sounds like some cool folks. I almost got into ghostbuster costuming, but the economy wasn't helpful in that venture.
I am too busy to do any sort of fan films for myself. However, I'd be willing to help them out if they ever needed a JP jeep for a project or maybe a Scout Trooper from Star Wars.

11/04/2011 - Received my state issued license plate (still getting a JP replica one) and my lightbar. It's made from 3 pieces and is stainless steel. Can anyone tell me if its an original Mopar or Olympic light bar? It also seems to have been pre-cut to the right height.

01/19/2012 - Dropped off the Jeep at a powdercoating shop. Going to Hawaii for a funeral and vacation for 10 days, so perfect time for work to get done on it. I hope the aluminum wheels can handle it.

Got my Jeep back, the powder is on back order so the shop was unable to powdercoat the wheels for now.

I found a Ramsey Rep-8000X : http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/pts/2822539579.html Is this a decent alternative to the Rep-6000 model? Same size?

03/09/2012 - Found a guy with MINT condition Sahara seats. Traded my old seats plus $400 cash and we swapped them out. The comfort difference is UNREAL! My old seats felt like Neddry sat in them, and were all ripped up and sun faded. Also got pouches for my front seats :)
