Re: Jurassic Park Jeep Wrangler

I'm seriously considering selling my house to get one of those (or maybe two).

OUTSTANDING!! It's my childhood dreams, both the Jeep and the Ecto-1. Thanks for sharing your dream.

I think it's only the Jeep nedry steals that has the lights, so couldn't you get rid of those if you don't like them and still have it be "accurate"?

I can't really blame you because it was sooo big, but I totally addressed this in the OP.

I bought one lightbar for use with off-road lights, and made one to be accurate to how Jeep 18 looked. I also got around to getting the side steps painted.


I decided to use the second lightbar for convention and wheeling season. I've slowly found that I dislike the height of the lightbar off the windshield, and I REALLY don't care for the awful whistling sound that comes from the bar and lights while driving over 50mph. I'll be painting and mounting the light-less bar this summer.

Re: Jurassic Park Jeep Wrangler

Oh man. I love that Jeep! Alas, I cannot *fit* in a Jeep, unless its one of the new 4 door versions, so it would look wayyy off.

I do, however, own a Dodge Magnum, like the Ecto.. I wonder if the wife would let me paint it, and mod it....

Re: Jurassic Park Jeep Wrangler

Awesome job! Now you need to get an old Explorer(?) and paint it up like those electric tour cars they used.

Re: Jurassic Park Jeep Wrangler

Indeed!

On my list of things to do:

- Wire up and properly weld down the winch
- Get the correct tag for rearview mirror
- Change the hood stamp with a correctly-sized replacement
- Have the door logos recut with a better red vinyl
- Paint the interior door panels and get their pouches sewn up
- Paint the light-less bar and mount it
- Mount rear amber lamps

THEN it should be pretty spot-on...

Re: Jurassic Park Jeep Wrangler

Can I make a friendly recommendation for your JP Jeep at her next Con showing? :confused

Find this image, clean it up, print it HI RES on quality photo paper, seal it, cut it to mirror shape, and securely install at every future show!!!

Talk about another Easter Egg! Not well hidden but a cool idea!

A-W-E-S-O-M-E movie prop by the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Jurassic Park Jeep Wrangler

I actually did that once when I first built the car. It was a screencap from the DVD so it looked like ass, but now that I have the HD version maybe it's time for annuva go!

I totally agree, as I own a WW2 Willys MB Jeep and would love to do what you did to a modern Jeep if I ever stumble across one cheaply. You have, in my mind, the ONLY cool square-headlight Jeep out there!

Fixed.

Also, T-Rex in the rearview mirror would be funny, maybe get just the rex done in clear vinyl, so you can have a blindspot all the time?

I'll even say the 'Must go faster' line and bump the jeep out of gear from time to time.
