The Jeep is finally done! As of April 24 I have finally added the light bar, side steps, and winch! Two-year jeep build complete! Holy crap!

Summer of '07 I bought a 1990 Jeep Wrangler and spent three months converting it into a replica of the 1993 Saharas used in Jurassic Park. Lots of fun!

The largees part of the work was done over about a week, mostly sanding and painting. It was my first automotive paint job, luckily I had a lot of help from some more talented and experienced friends.The rest of the summer was spent adding the odds and ends. I had to replace all the seats, swap out the rollcage for the proper shape, change the wheels, so on and so forth.

A short view of the build process...

Getting there.

Everything done to the car: new windshield, all-new lighting, new wheels, new tires, changes the rollcage, changed the seats, restored bumpers, gutted and rhino-lined interior, replaced all mirrors, added fog lights, new deck, new speakers, new water pump, replaced latches, seals, vents, added bumper corners, added whip antenna, replaces wipers, added soft top cage, replaced fender flares .

This is the most enjoyable car I have ever driven. Open-top, manual, handles like a the spawn of a go-kart and a tractor. It's my first jeep, and I love it to death.
