Trying out a JP JK model

[SlyRobot]

Pretty cool! Now get those wheels red!

I was really kinda disappointed that they opted for G Wagons instead of jk's…. Would have been cool to see a bunch of red and champagne or even Jungle explorer Jk Replicas being built…

Well, here's my progress so far. Not bad for my first time using Plasti-Dip. It's a little rough around the edges (still learning the right time to peel the tape) but I can live with that. This project was never meant to be permanent. I went the do-it-yourself Plasti-Dip approach so if/when the day comes I have to sell the Jeep, I can return it to it's factory look. And, I'm fairly certain that the first time I get the tires replaced, the dipped wheels will peel. No paint is on the rubber, but knowing how some mechanics handle them during tire replacement...Oh well, that's why I bought extra paint. Now, I'm just waiting for the full color door logo. Also, if I ever have the money (unlikely) I intend on getting the factory half-door for the JK. Oh, and I chose "42" because it happens to be Michael Crichton's birth year, and at the same time reference Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Here it is completed! For a DIY project and despite the vehicle being a JK, I'm actually very pleased with how this turned out.

[SlyRobot]

Damn thats awesome.

So is this the first completed JK? I love it! Only thing is that door logo looks a tad small. How wide is it?

[SlyRobot]

I thought it looked small too, then I started to consider a YJ half door, compared to a JK full door.. So it might be the right size decal.

Not bad! I was curious how you were going to do the rear stripes due to the size of the fender flares. The red plastidip looks really good. Great job
