Project Olive Drab

[OverlandZJ]

What's that?

Jerk..

if it followed the path of most OD vehicles it would end up lifted by a forklift, bending both driveshafts, then scavenged for parts and sold for 5 cents on the dollar on GSA/govliquidation

ALOT of the parts live on... and i'm considering OD for the ZJ in a few years.

No, but rust does.

Just ribbin ya. It sucks seeing such a nice rig ending up like that though. If it's any condolence though, if I lived in the area I woulda bought it in a heartbeat!

Go ahead, but start a new thread, Project Olive Drab II..... The original was a good looking project, too bad about it's fate. Hopefully the next gen will fare better.

Truth be told i was tired of the XJ thing for awhile before i started the cleanup, although i did have renewed interest for awhile it eventually got old again. So far i dig the ZJ for the most part... much roomier.

I loved the build, gave me many idea's for my XJ. Then you CUT IT UP! No offense, but WTF? I have done extensive rust repairs on my XJ, would have gladly taken it off your hands than seeing the shell destroyed.

The spirit of John's OD XJ lives on through my project.

I'm getting there my man. Still have a LONG list of items that includes a 4-link kit and new tires.

Do you need a kidney by chance? I'm selling off mine to pay for this thing. lol

Really well. I used a Alkyd Hardener and increased the reducer/paint ratio for each coat (I have 6 coats on it). I also etched the handles with my sandblaster prior to painting.

If you ever spray this paint, PM me and I can give you the specifics on how I did it.

Thanks for the insight...

So since you're from the philadelphia area, did you ever find a local supplier for the paint, or did you have to order it online?


Nevermind, i just seen that the place was in levitown.
