    For sale: So cal - 4 door soft top

    ***SOLD*** This came as part of the dual top option on our JK we bought used. We have never used the soft top but it looks like the previous owner might have used it once or twice. It looks to me to be in very good condition. I have always stored it indoors and wrapped in plastic. I am...

    My Daughter's "JK" Wagon

    I have not updated in a few weeks. I got carpet and upholstery done. Then, as I think I am finished, my wife says that our daughter needs a steering wheel. Pics of carpet and steering wheel. I do not have any good pics of the padded sides. Another test fit. But this time we had to make...

    My Daughter's "JK" Wagon

    Months ago a friend offered to do the cutting of the Rubicon stickers. Well, today he came through. It now looks official. We have a grill, my daughter's name in the place of the Rubicon logo, and 4 doors with handles and hinges. Almost complete.:rock:

    My Daughter's "JK" Wagon

    So Saturday night I went into the garage with the intention of doing all of the upholstery. I go the floor done and then quickly realized that the original plans I had of installing the side panels will not work. So I decided to sit and ponder on that part for another week. Instead I wired...

    My Daughter's "JK" Wagon

    Made more progress today. Far from done but it is really starting to look like something now. Got the white on. Next was to mask of all of the white so i could get black in the places where i wanted it. Now for the real fun. It was finally at a stage where all of the parts could come...

    My Daughter's "JK" Wagon

    My latest updates: My dad stopped by and I finally got a chance to get all of the parts attached to the body (fenders, bumpers, and rock rails) with the help of a second set of hands. Sometimes there just isn't enough of the right kind of clamps to hold things in place. The other major...

    My Daughter's "JK" Wagon

    So I noticed some surface rust forming on the cold roll steel body so I had to disassemble and get some primer on it even though it's not finished. The final color will be Stone White. The olive drab color is the color of the etching primer I used. That will be followed by a white sanding...

    My Daughter's "JK" Wagon

    I knew it really needed fenders to look like a jeep. I went back and forth on how to build them and finally settled on 1/4" thick black ABS plastic. I think it will do a good job of matching the plastic fender JK look. I apologize in advance. I completely forgot to take pictures of the...

    My Daughter's "JK" Wagon

    For the roll bar I went for 3/4" EMT conduit again because of weight, and because it bends easily. I used the light layer of dust to draw out my plans for the 4 door look. I plan to use die cut vinyl for the door line and hinges. I also plan to use it for the slots in the grill. I realized...

    My Daughter's "JK" Wagon

    I needed to get the sheet metal tub done so I could finalize the shock mount locations. I do not have any sheet metal tools in my garage but lucky for me my dad is a retired sheet metal worker with access to a full sheet metal shop. Once back at the house with a little more work done we had...

    My Daughter's "JK" Wagon

    So this started with a conversation My wife and I had back in July about a week after our first was born. While talking about all of the stuff we will need to purchase over the next few years, the subject of a radio flyer wagon came up. The Jeep guy in me immediately says "well she can't have...
