04 rubicon half cab
« on: October 11, 2010, 08:35:17 PM »
well i probably should start from the begining of my full build but oh well

fast notes

4 inch lift rough country xtrem flex  fully adjustable control arms
1.25 inch body lift
1 inch motor mount lift
custom cut front bumper
warn power plant (for sale)
100 watt front spot lights
5.13 gears
35 inch mickey thompson MTZ
air aid intake system and throatle body spacer
and the newest add is my custom half cab  

this is my DIY half cab .    i took a full hard top and cut it just past the main hoop on the cage
closed it in with 1/4 ply wood and fiber glass   some bondo to clean up the defects and then once i have it to the shape i  want its going to get one more layer of fiber glass then bed liner to finish it up



more pics to come once it is complete and painted

I wanna see a pic!  You have to host them on a site such as www.photobucket.com, then copy/paste the url between the IMG tags. There is a lil button near the emooticons you will see, click that and the IMG tags will appear....hope that helps.

Yup. That did 'er.

Looks like you've already got the hard part wrapped up - just a matter of fill, sand, fill, sand, paint. I know you're wearing a good mask when you're sanding that stuff, right?

/agree fiberglass isn't friendly at all to the lungs, especially the amount you'll be working with.

any plans for "bed liner" or anything like that?

thanks vinman for posting the pics


as for sanding and all that stuff im doing it as we speak
 its out doors and ya im wearing a mask and full cover alls so i dont get it all over myself

after all the fiber glass is done ill be bed linering the whole thing inside and out
and that should hide my defects since im far from being a good body fiber glass guy

but should turn out pretty nice all said and done

more pics tomorrow after first coat of bed liner

Based on his facebook pics, the factory rollbar is just inside the half cab.
