Makeover/remodel of the Ricochet.

Your jeep works great jon, I have seen it do some great obstacles, I wasnt sayin they were to far, just that if they were then my fact is true.:hi:
 
Im liking the yellow, its like a giant bumblebee......

I had it parked outside Saturday and a damn hornet was trying to violate the damn hood. :haha: I have a feeling I'm going to attract every damn bee in the woods.:mad:

But more black will be added this weekend. I should have it all done. Then I have to figure out what is killing my battery. Something keeps drawing it down.

Damn horny bees....haha i hate draws, my heep has had one forever. Spent weeks looking for it, then said ohh well and put a battery kill switch in it. Did someone say band Aid......:redneck:

I'm thinking that would be the easier way. I wonder if vatozone has kill switches??
 
Well the hood didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. So it got painted flat black and it's done. Now time to beat it up in the woods. :awesomework:

you need to bring that thing by so i can bend you up some front fenders...Holy hack and tack:haha:
 
Well it's official, It's now and automatic. Got most of the conversion done this weekend and drove it in under it's own power. A lot of little stuff still to do though. Also need to order the baja shifter and rail shifter, make a new console, run the lines clean, ton of crap.
 
Ok I guess I should update this. A few mods have happened since I last posted.

AX-15 got removed, got tired of pulling the tranny/suspension and everything else for a damn blow slave cylinder. Swapped in an AW4 with a Baja shifter.

Of course nothing goes smoothly for my rig so I have to modify the damn t-case shifter bracket.

Had to build a center console for the shifter and Baja shifter.

Then I ordered some New Corbeau BAJA JP seats. Which were suppose to be a direct bolt in on stock YJ seat brackets and sliders. They were far from it. :mad:

So I ended up adding to my cage and building seat brackets.
