poll what hood and grill for the buggy

[mesha]

I am going to start scrounging up a hood and grill for the buggy. What styles do you guys like. Looking for something I won't have to cry too hard when I wreck it. I will have to narrow it to fit the chassis I think.

I have a few commando grills kickin around. not too many 'mando crawlers out there... well Craig made one...

 

[BCGPER]

I really liked the look of Braden's buggy with the Beemer front clip. Gotta admit, that was different?

I like the sheetmetal idea... that way you can be completely original. Unless the rig was intentionally designed with certain panels in mind, most hood/grille combos look "hack" IMO.

Also, this is what I'm stuck doing on mine.

I vote CJ.



Might as well make it like every other buggy out there

 

[Bart]

I voted Willys, because I really miss mine. But if you go that direction you will find that they are EXPENSIVE.

Before I even read the option at the top and I just read the title to the thread, I said to myslef FSJ!! And then I saw it on there. I've never seen one on a buggy and I love the look of them. I sure wish my J20 never got stolen!

Jeepster Commando is the only way to go.

I am doing CJ because that's what I have, but I voted sheetmetal just because of the "no more tears factor" if you mess it up.

that would be pretty awesome. I will have to look up some different grill styles and dimensions and see how they will work out. I have always wanted a comando. Got any hoods?

I thought of that exact build and then wondered if it would be hard and expensive

If I was better at sheetmetal work I would do this for sure. I am still considering this option

I vote CJ.

we can't all be a different as you

That was my main concern was the expense. I wonder if greg still has the willys grill I sold him

It would be different and cool. Do you think the lines could work out narrowed?

That would be a cheap option.

Do something unique

I just did a cherokee. I didnt know if i was going to like it but it turned out good

 

[Bear T]

Scion, or Prius, I just think it would be funny.

I got that hood damaged from a bmw body shop. I think i paid 20 dollars.

Wow that is differen't but I voted earlier and it was for the FJ40

I like the classics. Anything old school adds the to the over all look of a rig and makes it cool looking. If you are into the jeep look then go with your choice. Personally, one of my all time favorite buggies was Bart's Willys inspired buggy. With the old school tail lights, Willy's grill but, killer lines and longer looks.

that gave me this idea

 

[rockreligious]

I voted willys, but I think it would be cool to hammer out something that looked like an old model A grill or something you would see on a rat rod.

 

[Bart]

Thanks LT. It had the longer looks because I was able to squeeze the winch behind the grill instead of in front.

I got rid of 3 of them last summer... way too cheap! $50 bucks each
