Your Jeep is looking good, Troop. Just the thing for getting you into - and out of - the backwoods. The black paint looks wicked, which is great for the street. But in the bush, why not try and blend in a bit more? Sure, you could paint a traditional camouflage pattern on it, but I recommend taking stealth to the limit. Put a photo mural on it! You'll end up with a vehicle that a deer would walk into when you're parked. Don't forget the wheels and sidewalls.
Just a suggestion. Laughing

Actually, I have heard that serious experiments are being done to make vehicles invisible. They aim a camera out from one side of a vehicle and transmit the image onto the other side. That wey someone looking at a vehicle would see only the background beyond it, instead of the vehicle itself. They might be closer to making something like that work than we realize. Today I was reading in a computer magazine about OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes). They can be sprayed onto any rigid or flexible surface and will transmit an image. Imagine such an image in high def or 3D. Idea

Thats really hard to comprehend if you think about it, but everthing is possible. I've seen a show once where they had a solid object and you could see the guys hand on the other side. I cant remember it clearly but it was the coolest thing ever. The ball wasnt transparent or anything, it looke dlike somehting you'd see in the movies, it looked really strange i'll try to hunt the clip down/

well i am driving it now which is fun stuff, but htere isnt too much change.

Just changed the battery so far, took it out and added 2 industrial ones. Me and m dad are making a place from them under the back seat since you cant find even one of them in the motor. Thers tons of work to be done in electrical and interior. I did remove one of the seats and fix the rails, and orderd 2 new seats.

I will post more once I finish some Smile

Cheers

Yes, but it nearly ripped my head off Razz. See the previous owner completly used up the shock absorbers, they are pretty much dead, so I gotta get some new ones.

My jeep was going good. Finsihed 65% of the interior, new seats, floor etc.


However today I was backing into my driveway and the front left shock absorver tore off. They were pretty worn down so I cant say I didnt see it coming, but its a pain in the behind to change.
