If you've followed my threads over the years you've seen me design and build dozens of fiberglass, metal and fabric projects to enhance my Jeeps. Many of them have become commercial products but many of them were just one-offs for my own use.
I'm running out of storage space so it's time to downsize. In this thread I'll offer lots of things that were parts of my projects and many of them will be free for the taking. I plan to get rid of molds for fiberglass parts, prototypes, preproduction samples and production examples of hardware I've designed, random Jeep body parts that were necessary for the design of custom parts or mold making and many other things. I'll post things here before I take them to the metal recycler or trash them.
I'll start with these two tub cowl sections, one is a TJ and the other is a CJ. Both are dirty but in reasonable shape and could be used to repair a damaged or rusty tub or for some other project.
I used both cowl sections to provide reference dimensions and mold masters for parts for my CJ Grille Kit for the TJ, shown here on my LJ compared to the CJ-8 I used to have:
Both are free to anyone who can used them. If nobody wants them, they'll go the the metal recycler.
When I was doing the molds for the fiberglass military replica trailer project that became the Dinoot m-series trailer kit (https://compactcampingstore.com/.../dinoot-m-series-tub-kits), I made a mold for a fiberglass lid. I made one prototype lid in the mold but Dinoot decided not to put the lid in production. The mold makes half of the cover; two sides bolt together to form the full cover. The mold is designed to make lids for the Dinoot kit but can easily be adapted to make lids for the M416 or other military trailers. The mold is free for non-commercial use, if you're interested in the mold for commercial use we can discuss that.
Next is a JK 2dr factory hardtop converted to modular. I documented the conversion in this thread: https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/converting-a-factory-jk-jku-hardtop-to-modular.160775/
I also have at least one factory JKU hardtop I don't need anymore. It's still stock (not converted or modified in any way), I'll post that soon.
A JKU rear driveshaft. I recently replaced this one with an aftermarket u-joint driveshaft, this one is fine but does need a new front CV joint. Free.
As I clean out my basement, workshop and storage areas I'll be posting many more things here, so subscribe to this thread if you're interested in seeing what I'll be making available. I think the next area I'll be cleaning out has preproduction and production hardware products.
