Going to be installing a few things this weekend. Post pics when complete.
Custom shovel w handmade sheath
Custom axe """""
Fire extinguisher
Windshield Light bar (sans lights for now)
Grill inserts ( just cut them)
Brown plastidip grill
And handmade 45 ACP valve caps (that 1 was easy)

Also working with a few people to design a modern version of the hood eagle.
Don't want to cheese it up and try and retain the possibility of it looking like a factory package.

Thanks for looking and kind words.

Wow you are doing the hood eagle and everything? That's going to be pretty impressive and a good throw back. How about doing something like the old one, but just an outline of it? Or more like a stencil type thing? And the color could be the same gold as your other sticker

Also; I'm not sure what you mean by custom shovel, but a neat little shovel is available on Amazon for like.... $25. It's made be Cold Steel and the call it the Spetsnaz Special Forces Shovel or something.

That ^^^ IS the shovel.
Well actually just the head, making different handle, serrated edge, paint, lanyard, sheath

Your idea on the hood decal is almost exactly where we're headed just cannot decide on angular or curvy style.

Hah awesome. I have two of those shovels actually. They work great and hold up to tons of abuse. Glad to hear you're using it as well.

Angular or curvy..... that's a trick one. I would say a little of both. Think of the Jeep JK itself. It's still boxy and has very straight lines, but the edges are smooth and refined.

Build looks great! Don't know if you've seen it but here is a golden eagle decal website:

Yeah I saw the site, love them.

But I'm going to try and do all custom, wouldn't mind grabbing one of their shirt though!

Thanks for the headsup

Got around to doing the grill mod today.

Brown camo plastidip grill w vintage gold plastidip and gold metalizer mesh inserts.

Trailhawk badge will go well with the giant eagle hood decal coming this week.

More to come soon.....
