Baby like 10 weeks now

Just make tail lites in the bumper and fill the holes in the body, round and oval led are so cheap now days for trailers and big trucks

I said 'lo-buck'......not cheap.
Surely gentleman we can come up with alternatives that aren't........shall we say ghetto.......let's have some sort of standard set on the table.

I've been known to put round objects in square holes, like it or not, it's owner preference.....





Both of those rigs had 'square' headlights......not always hip to be square..

So any whooo.......my first choice was simple, they would have almost slid into existing body cavity.....$49.00, shipped...new.

As my day went on today.....learned of something a little more....exceptional.....$98.00 shipped.....still less than used Lucas crap.....bit more work, need to confirm the corner contour...if it's a go, I'm all in....could be fun!

I'll keep it to myself for now, you can judge later........

Thanks, the Honcho was a 79, so out with the plastic, square lights, etc....sourced out the rounds, made my own version of a Rhino grill.....still have the grill, sold it with a standard Rhino grill in it.

In progress......




I've cut up a number of Cherokee's, that one ended up being pretty exstensive over a 10 year ownership, sold to an old friend in Maine a summer ago...


Ended up with a full cage, retractable rag top, dual E brake levers, narrowed 44's, ARB's, 3 link....ugh, that's just a tip of the ice burg....Don't want to babble on.....the build thread on that one is up to 332,707 views.....lol, haven't posted over there for 8 plus months....

We'll see what becomes of the Super Model.....time will tell.
