Installed my daystar hood wranglers. A little bit of a pain but well worth it! I highly recommend them.

 

Add dodge to the list of vehicles the Jeep had to pull out of the soup

 

I built/molded a 6-pack switch pod...

Hopefully I can get it all wired up and installed today... lol

I am a new owner so I am just knocking out some small stuff for the time being.

Smittybilt GEAR Grab Handles


Daystar Dash (money well spent)


Dealer replaced my IP (EVIC was not working). Not sure why this one doesn't have silver trim, but I like it more.

 

Very well done, excellent work. I assume you built a mold and poured the piece yourself. some info on how you did this would be interesting.
Thanks

 

That looks awesome! Cant wait to see it mounted

 

Ditto....excellent work...,curious about the process you used!

 

Thank you all for the compliments.

I made it from fiberglass mostly, I put the list of what I used below. Its a fairly lengthy process. You can see more pictures of it on page 3 in my build thread here: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-s...-294425/page3/

I'm going to build another one and do a complete how-to write up. I just need to pick up an upper windshield trim piece.

I used the following to build it:
You need to build a wood structure, so some MDF, wrap it with fleece or thicker t-shirt material, Cyanoacrylate glue (Its ultra super glue… makes regular super glue look like Elmers), fiberglass resin, a little fiberglass mat, cups for mixing, cheapo paint brushes, bondo (I only use Rage Gold), mixing tray, mixing sticks (free at home depot), bondo applicators, sand paper (40, 80, 120, 320), SEM high build primer, SEM Texture coat, SEM Adhesion Promoter, SEM Paint, SEM satin clear and of course… sun light… for the free UV rays to dry all this stuff in a reasonable time.

I've been building things like this for years. I swear I should make these and sell them lol. Seems like most of the pods out there are cheapy made, don't fit quite right or don't quite hold the switches properly.

 

Stubbied the bumper...

 

Thumbs up on the plate!
