Wave edition delayed indefinitely... UPDATE!

KJ4ME · **Posted:** Sun Dec 16, 2007 9:53 pm

On or around march time frame is when the whole thing should be completed. The company that i went to had a misfortune of their computer breaking at the las minute, so the exterior of the wave edition cannot be completed until they get their computer back. That is expected to happen in march of 2008. since i prepaid them on November 3rd, i have to have the portion of the money refunded to me so that i can go somewhere else and have it done. Sign-a-Rama is outrageously expensive for some magenta decals, mainly because of the color and because they make huge orders, to a tiny order like mine you wont see any type of savings. there are other companies out there that i spoke with today that are willing to do what i want, but turn around time is a minimum of 6-8 weeks due to holidays. so this special edition is delayed until i find some cooperation or until march, whichever comes first (im thinking march). So we sit at 99% completion...

Anyway, i found some snow and i had my camera so i decided to play around with some shots. i had no intentions of posting them up so they arent cropped or anything but i hope you all enjoy!

Man that is starting to look SHARP man.
I like the way the jeep refelcts against the snow. That blue wave you have also makes it stand out alot in the snow.

Can't wait untill you complete the wave edition.

Bumer on the delay.

Glad you decided to hang around.

Interesting CB antena mounting location.
How's the reception?
Anycloser shots of that?

Good to see the amount of wave is the same on each side. At least you're balanced until it gets done.

it looks like the wave edition will be completed by the end of this month! however a couple of sacrifices had to be made to make this possible :cry:

the first thing is, neon pink is out for 2 reasons. one was sign a rama, the company who will be finishing this project, couldnt get it here in a timely fashion and im kinda tired of waiting. and the second reason is, the neon colored vinyls seem to have a color retention problem. this is caused by the color itself pulling a lot of uv rays from the sun and fading very rapidly... like 6 months rapid. sign a rama showed me some pics of some vans they did with neon colors and when they brought them back, they had very little color left. so after finding out what they had in stock that matched cyan blue, i decided on tangerine orange. its not as offensive as neon pink, which is why i chose that color to begin with, but it matches well and it should still stand out.

below are the proofs for the design. im going with V1 as V3 is gross; V2 could have worked if they changed the numbers to match the lettering. i dont want to wait for them to do that so im going with V1. remember, these decals are going in place of teh front and rear badging and 2 of the larger jeep decals are going on the side on the door.

ok so i got u a pic of my CB antena mount today. i got the mount a small CB radio shop and store near where i live. and i didnt put that bottom screw in there. my buddy did and i plan to fix it soon i just kinda forgot about it. anyways this seems to really work for me. the mount is a swivel so i can move it from side to side if i need to but i havent had a problem with it yet and ive been on some tight trails.

pretty cool!!

gotta question. what's the red that is near your front wiper blades on the windshield. is it a decal of some sort?

dloc_jeep_KJ · **Posted:** Sun Jan 06, 2008 4:49 pm

i was wondering the same thing. it looks like a decal but what is it? or what does it say?

KJ4ME · **Posted:** Sun Jan 06, 2008 6:16 pm

4WheelParts America... i have to get a new one because i have to apply each letter individually to get it to center properly. i got some kc highlights from them that wont be installed until i get rocklizards roof basket that tjkj has
