Go to homebase and ask for some "Large Tool Clips"

They're the springy metal clips just the right size for the Fairlead rollers.... Not fitted mine yet as I recon 2 sets will be better and a bit of checkerplate to mount the numberplate on...

I'd already thought about that. The only problem is I'd have no number plate by morning round here. :roll:

My options at the moment, are bike sized one mounted on the grill, or a stick on one above the grill where the Jeep badge is and keep the one I have now for MOT time.

Just can't decide which at the moment.

Cable tie it at the back if you know you're keeping it on there for a while.... Just keep some spares and a pair of cutters in the car if you need the winch.

:idea:

Project CJ update

She's legal!!!!!!

tim_aka_tim · « **Reply #181 on:** October 30, 2006, 02:48:54 PM »

Excellent!

Have you got a pic of her with headlights and other such frivolities?

Ric Jacques · « **Reply #182 on:** October 30, 2006, 02:54:04 PM »

Not yet - gonna take her for s spin round the beach later and take some then.

Manda · « **Reply #183 on:** October 30, 2006, 07:15:49 PM »

Great news Ric, she's done in time for the Turkey Hunt though...

Ric Jacques · « **Reply #184 on:** November 02, 2006, 12:11:11 PM »

And here she is......

I think I may have to concede on the colour. Defo a bit orangey.

I'm not totally happy with the paint job though to be honest. The primer doesn't appear to have adhered too well to the substrate. Might have to send her for a bare metal respray at some point but I'll see how I get on on the trails!

Gonna take some more on the beach later (the same one Bubba wants a barbie on in Jan) so I'll post them in the readers rides section.

She looks excellent. You've had a huge amount of work, but it was well worth it mate.

I welded up the gay pod holes and painted it 'taxi black' you can see where i fitted some morris minor side light/indicaters in the front grill.
She was red when i got her :? months and months of work.
I loved that truck..........

Mick O · « **Reply #198 on:** December 02, 2006, 09:55:34 AM »

You sold that !!!!!! :sledgehammer: =P~

See what ya mean about the lights, they dont look half bad. Too late now

MK1 · « **Reply #199 on:** December 02, 2006, 11:51:32 AM »

That's a really nice CJ. I remember you saying you had to sell her, dam shame.

The lights are a good trick. No potential problems with the law or MOT man!

Mick, you'd better get the grinder out!!!
