Another jeep, Dad's Tuxedo Park

It'll get cup holders, and a tray or something....And maybe a padded armrest. The steering column is from Tri-C.

 

I'm going to try one of these yoga blocks for an armrest. Probably cover in vinyl. The size is perfect, For less than ten bucks (for two) it's worth a try.

Set 2 Yoga Block Foam Brick Exercise Fitness Yoga - Black - 4x6x9 - ²BAATC

 

50mm.
I have no idea how hard or soft a yoga block is, but for 10 bucks I'm willing to find out..

 

I had a set of "KC type" light housings. These take the PAR36 4" bulbs. I painted them to match the Jeep and I put some 100W sealed beam aircraft landing lights in them. I think they look better than the standard 6" lights.

 

I didn't like the cheap universal coolant recovery tank, so I made this one. Much like the one I did on the old white Jeep.

 

The yoga block turned out to be perfect for an armrest as far as density, IMO. It's now over at my Mom's getting upholstery..

 

After much fuss and to do, I ended up with nothing more than a yoga block, covered in naugahyde, and velcro'ed to the lid. It works, it's very comfortable, and if you skip all the other BS I went through first, the total cost is a little over $20 and I have another block still and nearly a yard of upholstery left.

 

Some of you might remember the aluminum Mustang radiator and electric fan I installed on my white '67.
My Dad had the original radiator in the Tux re-cored when he built the Jeep, and it's still in fine shape. But, I really liked the electric fan in the old Jeep, so I installed the same 2000CFM Flex-A-Lite fan, and a Derale adjustable controller..Nothing on the radiator was altered, so I can go back to stock if I choose. So far, this is working well.


Controller, mounted next to the thermostatically controlled transmission cooler.

 

That's really nice!

 

New tires.. I've been a BFG fan for years. I put a set of the new KO2's on my truck last spring, then a set on the TJ last summer, so I figured the Tux needed some. I also got some stainless trim rings for the cheapy Soft 8 wheels. I don't do much mud, and I specifically bought rings that don't cover the bead area (rock damage) so they should be fine. I think they dressed those wheels right up.. I stayed with the 33X10.50

 

Now?
