So, the Jeep project has been on kind of on pause due to traveling and work. After getting back from Ireland 2 weeks ago (check it out if you’d like)

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I finally kick my project back into gear. Yesterday, the light bar I had made all the way in North Carolina arrived!

It’s made exactly to replicate the specs of the Mopar light bar (now discontinued) from that time and can be seen here:

So, since I’m doing JP 12 its going to require more than just painting and bolting it on the Jeep. I need to be able to mount 4 Jabsco Marine Search Lights to the top:

Which means I’m going to have to get a plate welded onto the bar and drills holes on the back in order to send wires down the inside of the bar and into the cab, and then mount the control panels to the dash so that the lights can pan.

Kinja'd!!!

So once the plate is welded on, the Jeep can finally go in for body work and paint!

Kinja'd!!!

We’re getting closer!

do you need those taillight guards? or what that for the explorers. Still, very nice that you are doing it right, I’m sure you’ve seen a lot of “budget” builds on the forums.

I was going to guess Sony. They have distinctive shadows and color

Yeah its a great camera for the price, internal 4k up to 60 frames and 120 frames at 1080p. I always have a hard time choosing between the Canon c100s and the FS7 :)
