Sweet! Please post up when it is done
 
That is awesome! Post up the details with the pics upon completion please. :D
 
Cool!:cool:

Are you getting rid of the bug deflector when you put this on?
 
Very sweet! Vinyl? Details please - supplier, price, material, etc.
 
Well, I came across this thread in the Classifieds so I hit Jay up. He is actually easiest to contact via e-mail at: dspan@yahoo.com. As for price, he is not making any money and he is doing this for us LC fanatics at cost if not at his cost!

Here is the design I drew up in CAD then imported to Photoshop Elements and saved to an eps file for Jay.

If any local guys are interested, my buddy is local. He owns an 80 and a sick FJC.

Well here it is, the install wasn't too bad for my first large graphic install. The wet install is the only way to go IMHO.

So happy to be done with that bug guard and what it did to my hood.

And a shot with the hood squirters installed.

The hardest part was removing the plastic tabs that hold the liner under the hood to get to the squirters. I broke 5 of them damn things. Wonder how much this will set me back? I bet they are $4 each, maybe NAPA will have something close?

He's got some cool stuff! But I better not seem him steel my Rising Sun idea! That is going to be patent pending..... :flipoff2:
 
Hey BlueTribal,

Where in Baja are you heading? I just got back a couple weeks ago. Have a great trip.

Cheers, Jon

I broke a few of those replacing my hood squirters, and i just ended up using zip ties to hold the hood liner in place.

Your hood looks great btw.
 
That looks amazing. I honestly saw the mockup and didn't think you could pull it off, but you've made a believer out of me. Looks awesome!
 
Wow very cool looks great. Might have to look into doing something similar so I can ditch the bug guard/damage too :hillbilly:. Is that a new bumper I spy? :D
 
That rising sun decal came out great! Nah we wont steal your idea ha!

Yup, good eye! It's an ARB winch bumper junk yard find. Not what I wanted but maybe after I take the cut off wheel to it I will like it more. It's in tough shape at the moment.
