Project "Yellow Snow"

[BIGSLVRXJ]

My newest project...a 1997 Cherokee Country with 236,000 miles that came from Tyler (XJ&CHZ4ME). As far as I know, its the original engine, transmission, and transfer case. The transmission and transfer case are smooth as silk but the motor is presumably on it's last leg, it has a bit louder than normal ticking noise (hence part of the name REDZONE, the other part comes from it's painstakingly red color). I'm going to try doing a synthetic oil change and running Lucas oil treatment through it to see if it quiets it down, if not, I will be thinking about swapping in a spare motor that also came with the deal.

I already have a full 6.5" lift kit sitting waiting to go on, it's hopefully going to go on tomorrow or Thursday. Jason from Rough Country treated me right once again hooking me up with coils, leafs, shocks, brake lines, drop brackets and their new track bar...all the essentials. I also have the TNT Customs (Trek's) bellypan to put on, but still have to buy the arms which are a relatively large expense, that will be the long-term solution.

Anyway enough with the chit chat...here are some pics...

The roof braces must have been glued back down because now it's dented pretty severely...

Factory door panel pockets which are somewhat rare in 97-01s. Too bad the PO decided to bautch speaker grilles onto them.

PO broke the seat bolt off and neglected doing anything about it, so the seat sits at a great angle :greensmok

I am in the process of converting the interior over to the 99+ full charcoal to eliminate the light gray. I've gotten the carpet and dash done already, just looking for a few odds and ends to finish up the rest. Also got a factory CD/Tapedeck combo in with a woodgrain dash bezel (since it should have had one anyway). The outside has changed a bit too with a cowl hood and non-dented hatch on it now, it looks quite a bit different. New pics will be up tomorrow or the next day with the lift.

Oh by the way, assuming it holds together, this will be what shows up to all events including WF '10 with me. :)

Thanks for looking and let me know what you think.

[IllianaXJ]

Looks good for a project. My 01's roof is dented the same way, not sure how it happened.

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

a new project for you and more money towards the farm funds for me! A win-win combination! :D

[FlexdXJ]

Nice, Collin! Is the MJ no more?

[97XJ Jeeper]

You like to stay really busy,don't ya? :D

[XJosh95]

Nice, Collin! Is the MJ no more?

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

the manche is making it's way elsewhere for storage and may be resurected as a project in the future.... (he told me this past weekend that was the plan)

Right on. Collin and his projects! :D

[BIGSLVRXJ]

The Comanche is just sitting in the garage under my house right now. I have no heated garage to work in in the Winter so unfortunately that will be my hibernation and studying time for the most part, trying to get all my Jeep projects finished up in what's left of the Fall.

Back to REDZONE...Started lifting it today and it's being very temperamental with me. Both front leaf eye bolts and one LCA bolt were seized in the sleeves. Tomorrow it will be time to grind open the leaf springs to get to the offending sleeves. One drop bracket is more or less on and the rear axle is completely out. If I can actually wake my lazy ars up at a reasonable time tomorrow I still plan to have it 99% if not 100% complete by tomorrow evening. I will definitely post pictures.

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

post up some pics of the Christmas ornament once you get it lifted :D I am excited to see it lifted, but more excited to see the vast array of colors you have on the rig now .l. :D .l.

[95YJman]

Looks like a cool start, I like the rims!

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

they were for sale last I knew.....

[BIGSLVRXJ]

they were for sale last I knew.....
The Moabs sold last night...

This thing has fought me every step of the way as far as lift goes. Both front leaf bolts were seized in their sleeves. After hacking the left leaf spring and bolt into several pieces I finally got it out, the right one is still in the leaf, it doesn't even seem to be backing out of the welded nut, it turns, but not much is happening. I also had one of frame side LCA bolts seize up in it's sleeve, so that had to be cut out as well. Without a cutting torch, removing the full packs can be a pain...especially on a Jeep with almost a quarter million miles. Anyway, the front is most of the way done, it turned out pretty big, I'm happy with it.

http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/zz143/97redzone/Lift/REDZONEhalflift009.jpg

I hope to work on it some more today and it will be finished either tomorrow or Thursday. It's going down to Tyler's for paint this weekend if all goes as planned, so hopefully it will all be one color again. I'll keep you guys posted as more work gets done.

[Rockhound89]

i dont no but i kinda like the green front end

[BIGSLVRXJ]

i dont no but i kinda like the green front end
Then you would've really liked the Comanche I was building Watson, the whole thing was going to be that color.

[FlexdXJ]

Here comes santa clause, here comes santa clause in a lifted XJ! :D Collin I'm thinking the whole thing needs to be that color!

[BIGSLVRXJ]

Dang it Aaron, don't tempt me :). It's going "John Deere Blitz Black" this go around, I am still planning on building that Comanche "Grabber Green" though.

[BIGSLVRXJ]

Well today I got the other leaf spring out, both had to have the front eyes cut completely off and then I cut the bolt in thirds more or less...I'm just happy the weld nuts didn't snap off. Tomorrow the lift will be complete, I have to hook up the track bar and front brake lines and then get the backing plates and brake lines bent for the rear axle. Shouldn't be too bad, completion pics will be up in the evening I hope.

[HaleYes]

"Redzone"?
Are you trying to keep it within 20?:dunce:

Looking good radio man!

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

if he can get it all together tonight it is supposed to be heading down in the morning to paint it .....yellow....so now he will have to change the name to project "Yellow Snow"

[BIGSLVRXJ]

Haha..."Yellow Snow"...I dig it. I am getting very close to having it done, still a go for paint, I'm in taking a break right now though. It's amazing how all of a sudden when I'm working late I just get sloppy and careless and things tend to just start falling over (hopefully not on me). Still planning to leave around 8 maybe 9...

[BIGSLVRXJ]

Well, aside from extended front brake lines and figuring out how to rebuild a rear shock mount that snapped off, the lift is done until I receive my 2" boomerang shackles next week. I thought it turned out fairly well...

http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/zz143/97redzone/Lift/RedzoneLiftComplete003Medium.jpg

It's sitting down in Missouri now and will be yellow by mid-week hopefully. I plan on putting the shackles on and then if needbe putting my 3/4" spacers in the front. Then hopefully in a couple months I'll have the cash to buy the actual arms for my Y-Link kit since I've already got the bellypan. I also plan on going to 4.88s in the next couple months. So a lot of money is going to be going out but I hope to have a pretty cool Jeep when it's all done. Let me know what you guys think of the lift.

[FlexdXJ]

I got dibs on that hood if you sell it! :D

[BIGSLVRXJ]

Not a chance in hell, but wishful thinking Aaron :D

[XJosh95]

I'm diggin it, Collin!

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

Project Yellow Snow is going to be in primer by the end of the night...if all goes well it will get it's golden shower by tomorrow evening......

Where is the "I like this" button darn it. I'm getting confused with Facebook again. Let me know what I owe you for the primer too CHZMAN.

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

primer is on and looking like an additional coat may be going on as well. Looking to shot paint in the coming days. Nothing like the good ol' primer fumes...now to find some bacon and nachos...

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

oh, and thanks for washing the mud off...d-bag! :D

[BIGSLVRXJ]

oh, and thanks for washing the mud off...d-bag! :D

I thought you guys would enjoy the mud, since you say I never offroad....d-bag :D All kidding aside though thanks to the effort you're putting into that POS too Tyler, I really feel bad that I'm not there helping you guys.

HAHA!! No he doesn't...:cheers:

[et89xj]

You going to wheel it this weekend? :D Have to get that first scratch/dent sometime, might as well get it having fun with fresh paint!

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

new YELLOW paint is on with the first coat being sprayed about an hour ago. Will let it set overnight and will go back to shoot remaining coats tomorrow. I feel like shit and am thinking that I have caught this damn flu that is going around.....

[BIGSLVRXJ]

I feel like shit and am thinking that I have caught this damn flu that is going around.....
I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you get well soon Tyler.

[FlexdXJ]

I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you get well soon Tyler.


Why? So he can finish your paint? :D

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

HAHA! no kidding Flex....after this marathon paint project I am going to lay low for a few days and try and get over this flu or what ever I have going on. I am just hoping that I am not sick this weekend for the Toys 4 Tots run at MIOBI.

[BIGSLVRXJ]

Why? So he can finish your paint? :D
Well since this has turned into "Collin is an a-hole that only cares about himself and his yellow Jeep" thread... :(. I do feel bad for not being down there helping and I do hope Tyler gets better soon you asshats. I am sincere sometimes...jeez.

AHHHH, you know I'm just giving you hell, Collin! :laugh3:

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

Collin, I luv you man....

[99SJ_Ex]

* Steps out of the man-love thread...*

Hah haa, j/k guys, post up some pics after your done with it Tyler, and hope ya feel better! I've been in my room in my suite at school for 4-5 days now with the flu.... It's not fun...

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

Thanks Austin. Right now the only pics I have are the ones on my phone and cant get them over to the computer for some reason. I have sent some to Collin, but they are less then stellar due to the crappy camera phone pics. I am going to go back over tonight to help put on teh last coat and then i will snap a few more pics. It is def YELLOW!! It is going to look pretty good for the fact it was painted with tractor paint in Jeremys dirty shop :D I think that as with any project that Collin has, it will look damn good once he gets it all completed with the painted rockers/roof and the remaining accessories he is going to install. I am going to appoligize now for the fact that we got all sorts of primer and yellow overspray on the undercarriage and components...but nothing a little shiney black spray paint wont fix :D

No worries "man de la cheese" black Hammered paint can cover anything.

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

OK, we present you with "Project Yellow Snow"..........drum roll please....

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd143/XJ_TJ4ME/XJ%20pics/DSC02071.jpg

turned out pretty good considering it was implement paint and a whopping grand total of less then $100 in paint/primer :D

Jeremy said he was going to put one more coat on it this evening and then that was it. Once it it all back together and some startigically placed shiney black spray paint is used, it will look pretty tuff (as tuff as yellow can look..but hey, look at Hulk Hogan :D)

[IllianaXJ]

Wow.

[4wdParakeet]

Cheeseman painted... big bird approved.


Parakeet

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

your telling me, I have had 48 hours of eye burning WOW factor to contend with..... :D

and Collin thought red stuck out too much ....geesh :D

[comancheon33]

It needs pink SS stripes on it now. That should fit Collin well.

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

we were thinking about getting a custom rear window banner of the rainbow flag lastara

just ribbin ya Collin, it does look much better then it did as the christmas ornament-mobile of it's earlier days :D

[comancheon33]

With a unicorn running in the center of it.

[BIGSLVRXJ]

I think I just busted a nu.... :D. It definitely needs some black accents, that's a lot of yellow otherwise. Looks amazing to me Tyler, can't wait to come get it tomorrow. Thanks again for all your work.

[bpm4x4]

A Big brown stripe!!!:puke: :moon:

[FlexdXJ]

Jesus H......... I think you could see that thing from space! Definately needs some black accents!

[IllianaXJ]

Are you trying to be like Dr Moab now or what?

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

Are you trying to be like Dr Moab now or what?


haha! and would Dr. Moabs speciality be proctology :scared:

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

I got to thinking, how about a black accent stripe all the way around it like WWWWWWW and then it would look like Charlie Brown's shirt :D

[et89xj]

Now that would be Sweet!!

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

then Collin would just need to find his own "little redheaded girl" :D

[BIGSLVRXJ]

Are you trying to be like Dr Moab now or what?
Actually a little bit yes, except IIRC he has matte black Teflon wheels on his, I'm planning on doing gloss black. Other than that and the fact that his is immaculate compared to mine, I would love to model it after his.

then Collin would just need to find his own "little redheaded girl" :D
I've had a couple brunettes and a couple blondes, a redhead would be a new experience though. I've actually had a red-head 4.0l before...does that count?

[CherBear]

* Steps out of the man-love thread...*

Hah haa, j/k guys, post up some pics after your done with it Tyler, and hope ya feel better! I've been in my room in my suite at school for 4-5 days now with the flu.... It's not fun...

Me too, flu season sucks...

Get well soon all.

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

Rig is unmasked and will be going back together this evening. Then it will go on the trailer and head back north to Des Moines tomorrow morning. It is actually growing on me more and more, but not to the point I would paint my own rig yellow..I have enough yellow on our tractors :farmer:

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

Project Yellow Snow is now back home in Des Moines. It sure got a lot of looks along the trip north :D

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

Well, I was hoping that some assembled pics of this rig would get posted up.....

Free paint job and once it is dropped off...no calls answered...I see how ya are :D

[XJosh95]

Whow whee! I can hear that paint with the speakers off! Sweet lookin rig, Collin. Just make sure you tell everyone you're coming so they are forewarned and have time to cop some shades.

Tyler, I figured you'd fall in love with it. That color is pretty close to cheese...but I guess it would need a little more red in it.

[4wdParakeet]

Speckle it with green and red and it could be "Project Pepperjack"


Parakeet

[CherBear]

Fill me in on this hood...

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

it is a cowl hod that wont clear the windshield wiper on one side...which is a common issue w/ these hoods I hear...

speaking of this thing...what the hell is the progress-regress of this project??????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????

[99SJ_Ex]

Indeed... Inquiring Minds would like to let you know there's some Red Necks asking questions... :gee:

[BIGSLVRXJ]

Fill me in on this hood...
It is a cowl hood made by a company called Reflexxions. It's a cool looking piece, but what I've found is
1. It will not open past the first hole without taking the pass side wiper arm off.
2. It dents incredibly easy, I got on top of the cowl in socks to try to put weight on the front of the Jeep and the whole cowl flattened itself. I was able to pop it back most of the way but it still has like 4 small dents and now it has red paint showing through the yellow....awesome.

speaking of this thing...what the hell is the progress-regress of this project??????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????
Right you are "Hombre de la Cheese" these hoods have a bad reputation of not opening without removing the pass wiper, in fact, I've never heard of anyone being able to do so. Sorry about the delinquency of this thread, new pics will be posted this week. Many cans of black spray paint will be used before the weather turns for the worst.

Indeed... Inquiring Minds would like to let you know there's some Red Necks asking questions... :gee:
:D Hey I'm a redneck too, there's no doubt.

Again, sorry for the delay guys, I'll try not to leave you hanging too much longer, just haven't really made a whole lot of noticeable progress, trying to sort out all my clunking and banging in the front end still...damn lifted XJs :D

[BIGSLVRXJ]

I don't know who changed it to Yellow Snow for me but I greatly appreciate it, "REDZONE" is slightly inaccurate now :D.
Thanks!

[BIGSLVRXJ]

This thread has gone idle for far too long. Project "Yellow Snow" has accumulated a list of new parts and projects in order to prepare for Winterfest.

Here's my mini "I hope I get it done before Winterfest list"
-Dana 44 out of an 87 XJ along with a set of 4.88s. The 30 in front will get 4.88s as well.
-Rough Country long arm kit will be ordered today or tomorrow.
-A ton of steel needs to be welded and black paint laid down.
-Rear quarters need to be cut and folded.

Other than that "minor" stuff, she's good to make the 8 hour trip. Pictures will be up this weekend of some of the new goodies and the exterior of the ol' girl. For those of you that are...thanks for following.

-Collin

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

still subscribed foo!! :D

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

well, a year later and no pics you LOSER! haha..here are a few of todays work on the ol' girl. We knocked out another front bumper from Cheeseman Fab. It was even nicer then the one I made for Red Rocket. Clean lines, good welds..man I love my new welder. JR was a huge help and I had Collin and Kaitlyn working on a shopck swap on Red Rocket and then they swapped them over to Yellow Snow. It was a hell of a productive day.

Burning in some strap......

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd143/XJ_TJ4ME/DSCN0370.jpg

putting on some finishing touches..
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd143/XJ_TJ4ME/DSCN0352.jpg

and ready for paint.....

[XJosh95]

Tyler, I do believe your fab skillz are improving. That thing is smashing! I was a bit disappointed as you mentioned Collin and Kaitlyn working on the thing and as I scrolled down, no pics of Kaitlyn... :D

Collin, the thing is still lookin good! Is there much left to burn and turn before WF this year?:repair: Keep the good work coming.

























And that was a vurry nice a$$ I couldn't stop staring at in the first pic. We need to spend a little time together around teh campfire, there buddy.:smootch:

And I realize for a post of mine, I'm really whoring up the emoticons.hasta

[99SJ_Ex]

Super Niice...

Upon Inspection at WF, we will need to talk...

[FlexdXJ]

Collin and Kaitlyn working



Pics or GTFO, I don't believe it! :D


Nice work Cheeseman and JR!

[BIGSLVRXJ]

Thanks Tyler and JR for the awesome bumper, I can't tell you guys how much I enjoy it! My dad already made a comment on how great it looks and he's normally not too into this kinda thing so I was happy to hear that.

Now that you brought this thread back up Tyler, I need to get some overall rig pictures again. I will try to get it cleaned up and have the bumper painted in the next couple days here to bring you guys up to speed.

Thanks again CHZMANFAB.

[99SJ_Ex]

I do have a question, what are you using for front tow point(s)?? Strap around the bumper? ;)

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

it is top secret. Actually Collin was going to try and get some d-ring mounts that we could mount through the bumper to the frame horn mounts, but he was unable to source any on short notice, so we are using a set of Suburban tow hooks bolted through the unibody tie in plates and bolted through the frame and plated on the inside of the frame rail. They are not intrusive or gawdy looking and sit in nice and tight. Just a little work on lining up the holes and it is a good fit.

[99SJ_Ex]

Ahh, I Suppose I should get some through JCR or AJ or someone b4 I get mine made....

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

Austin, I would suggest it. I dont have any thick stock like that and I really dont want to cut and drill something that heavy, it just takes that much more time. We burnt up a lot of time making the frame mounts/tie in plates. Even having a couple of the holes 1/16" off and having to bore them out slightly, it can really eat into the time involved to build. We fought the misalignment of the brackets and finally got them w/ in @ 1/16" of each other and called it good. I am going to pattern a set of premade units and then have them laser cut in batches for uniformity. The more of these we build the quicker we are getting at them. There is still a lot of labor involved due to my limited tools, but we get by and they work good. JR is tremendous help and good to have around, he does not stand still at all....go, go, go!

Sorry for the thread hijack Colon. :D

[99SJ_Ex]

It makes sense, you gotta start from somewhere... We do the same thing at Max-Bilt....

Collin, I apologize as well, but must say, it is a damn fine looking bumper and make your rig look awesome!

[BIGSLVRXJ]

Collin, I apologize as well, but must say, it is a damn fine looking bumper and make your rig look awesome!
Thanks Austin

Well crew, the bumper is now painted and the only thing left to do on the front is to ream out the tow hook bolt holes just a bit and get longer hardware for the steering box. Here are some pictures of the final product...

Were did you get the paint? i know you said it was implement? it looks awesome and im sick of the green on mine?

awesome build i love the look of this thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BIGSLVRXJ]

Were did you get the paint? i know you said it was implement? it looks awesome and im sick of the green on mine?

awesome build i love the look of this thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks. The paint is actually implement paint under the brand name "Van Sickle". It is available at many farm stores in Iowa, Nebraska, and Missouri, but I'm not sure of availability otherwise. Here is their website...

http://www.vansicklepaint.com/

I bought a gallon of a color called "Transport Yellow" which I believe was used on heavier machinery such as CAT stuff. One of Tyler's friends shot it through his paint gun for me and it turned out great! Check em out, I definitely recommend the paint.

[kmanxj5050]

thanks.

how much of what thinner did you use?

[hubs97xj]

If you've got a farm-n-fleet type store around, chances are they'll have VanSickle.

Love the color.

[87manche]

Were did you get the paint? i know you said it was implement? it looks awesome and im sick of the green on mine?

awesome build i love the look of this thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TSC sells implement paint by the pint or gallon. Thin 50/50 if you're going to spray it.

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

use a napatha thinner...that is what it calls for.
