Full Size Jeep Network

So now that I am back to the land of wheeling, I'd like to consult my fellow fsj'ers to see what's missing in their market. What off-road specific products would you like to see and but for your rig? Let me know what rig you have as well.

Also, I might be looking for fsj guys in the Phoenix area for mockup and design. It can't be your daily though as I don't want to deal with the "I need to drive it to work in the morning" thing. sooooo with that said, this is a roll call for Phoenix people. Speak up!

I'm in the Phoenix area. I have a 65 I am building up and a 67 that I might build later for the wife, if I dont have to poach too much of it.

If you do plastic mold injection, we could really use tail lights. Only one side is available new. These were used from 63 to (I believe) 81.

For those switching to rhino grills, a replacement pie plate you can mount an offroad hid in would be a hit. Reproduction round head light boxes and turn signal boxes made of metal instead of cheap plastic would be good.

Everything else on my old heep is incompatible with the newer ones, so the market might be too small.

I am kicking around replacing the inner fenders with tubing for strength. I will want a stinger front bumper with winch integegrated in between the frane rail nice and tight. I have not liked what I have seen so far. I have seen a few that were close. Also rocker guards and a rear bumper with tire, high lift, and fuel carrier. I will think about it tonight and post more details.

Aesthetics wouldn't be my specialty. I'm honestly amazed bjs or someone hasn't jumped on those things. It's been almost 10 years since I had my fsj/buggy/hybrid and the aesthetic requests were the same back then.

I am amazed as well. I cannot wait for the 3d printing machines to mature. Once the cheap can print clear
polycarbonate, all the old car guys reflector problems will be solved. They are almost there now.

every major portion of the J truck beds have been reproduced except the rear corners, where the tail lights mount. Mine is rusted badly there. Also the cab corners of the truck. Every other truck in had replacement cab corners, I can find 55 Willys truck cab corners, but not 1980 j20.

STICKERS!!!!

How about pre bent roll cage kits, especially ones that actually allow you to enter a four door.

Yes, PLEASE!

As in you weld?

That's what I'd want. No way to get a finish welded cage in one of these beasts.

I just want one for my J10. Shouldn't be too much more to extend that for Cherks and Wags, though.

Yes. My desire is to cage my GW, in reality I can buy all of the tools and such but then it won't ever get done. If I can buy a pre bent cage and weld it myself then it is a possibility

You've got mail.

Cage kit yes. 2 door with access to rear seat a bonus.

How about a suspension system that doesn't need to be put together like Frankenstein ? It really doesn't apply to me because mine is to custom already but hey, what do you guys think ?

79 Chief.

Rear brake lens and assembly.

An easier way to replace the wide trac rear fender flares, preferably in rubber or something that can flex. I will soon be installing a fiberglass set, I dont think they will last very long in the bush.

Interior; Headliner, replacement front seats.........

A functioning tailgate electric to manual window kit.

Another thing I'm surprised hasn't come into being- Metal replacement flares.

The cage stuff seems to be common and it's doable. Keep the ideas flowing.

I will jump in on the cage idea, specifically one for the 4-door. I might be more keen on a bolt-clamp together system (with the inner slugs). My reasoning is that I want one that is tucked up as tight as possible along the roofline above the doors to minimize intrusion into the cabin. My thoughts are oriented toward making the rig safer while maintaining its usefulness as a daily driver for family.
it is impossible (as best as I can assess) to get a cage that fits the roofline tightly and get solid welds all the way around joints. Since I am dreaming, a spice colored cover for the bar to match my interior would also be great.. 8v)

Metal flares would be great as well. I have seen lots of good WT candidates that just needed flares.
