I want to know how to camouflage a jeep the best

Knowing how to paint a Jeep in camo patterns means you can hide your Jeep in the woods, marshy areas or in open fields without it being easily seen. Using Mossy Oak's Shadow Grass pattern, paint your Jeep with natural-looking shadows and grass blades. The 3-D look of this pattern allows you to easily hide your Jeep from water fowl, doves, deer and big game.

Things You'll Need:
  • Sandpaper (120 and 800 grit)
  • Wax and grease remover
  • Lint-free towel
  • Camo stencil
  • Masking tape
  • Masking paper
  • Respirator mask
  • Automotive primer
  • Automotive paint (black, gray, light tan and brown)
  • Automotive clear coat
  1. Sand the surface of the Jeep with 120-grit sandpaper until the surface is dull. You can use a dual-action sander for this step to speed the process. This removes the top clear coat and prepares the surface for primer. Primer won't stick to a shiny surface.
  2. Mask off areas of the Jeep that won't be painted, such as the windows, tires and passenger area of the Jeep. Wipe the surface with wax and grease remover and a lint-free towel.
  3. Spray primer on the Jeep in three thin coats. Allow each coat to dry completely. Once the primer is dry, use 800-grit sandpaper to sand the top layer of primer until smooth. This leaves a smooth surface for the paint. Wipe again with wax and grease remover and a lint-free towel.
  4. Paint a thin base coat of gray on the Jeep. Cover all of the primered areas on the Jeep so that no primer can be seen. Allow the paint to dry.
  5. Go over the Jeep with brown paint, spraying small areas of brown paint in no particular pattern. The finished effect should look like the Jeep is equally painted gray and tan. Hold the first stencil against the Jeep and use black paint to fill it in. Move the stencil over and paint again. Start at the front of the Jeep and work towards the rear.
  6. Move on to the next stencil and use light tan paint to spray the grass pattern. The grass should start at the bottom of the Jeep and reach up towards the top. For longer grass, don't spray the tops of the grass but instead move the pattern up, spray the stems longer and then spray the tops, making the grass stems long. Repeat this around the Jeep and across the hood. Go back over the grass stems with black paint, lightly spraying a few of the stems to give them a shadow look.
  7. Finish by spraying three coats of clear coat paint onto the painted areas of the Jeep. This protects the paint from UV rays and keep the camo pattern looking good.

Tips & Warnings
  • Paint is best applied using a paint spray gun and air compressor, but canned spray paint will work.
  • Never sand or spray primer or paint without using a painter's respirator mask.

Unless you have some decent knowledge of electrical systems, I'd recommend that you leave the present wiring in place, clean it up and perhaps re-tape any "raggy" areas. Not saying it can't be done but remember that one mistake in a critical area will be far from painless.

Pumping these new vehicles does nothing. Have your coolant temp sensor and intake air sensors checked. They set up the fuel system like a chok on an older vehicle.. If you question your fuel system, change the fuel filter, but no, the trans has nothing to do with your fuel.. Good Luck-Ned-

Can not get power to the headlamps. changed new

THIS ONES TOUGH WITH OUT SEEING THE AUTO. TRACE THE WIRES FROM THE LTS TO THE FIRE WALL AND SEE IF THERE IS ANOTHER CONNECTION THAT CAME LOOSE. IF NO ATHER CONNECTION I WOULD CHECK FOR POWER ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FUSE FOR THE LIGHTS YOU SHOULD HAVE VOLTAGE IN TO THE FUSE AND OUT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FUSE. BUY A TEST LIGHT FOR THIS THEY ARE CHEAP AND YOU GET A BETTER RESULT. YOU CAN GROUND ONE SIDE OF THE TEST LITE AND PEARCE THE WIRES TO SEE IF THE WIRES ARE GOOD OR BAD
GOOD LUCK ON THIS PROBLEM

It sounds like you have air in the brake line(s). You need to bleed your brakes and that should fix your problem.

Both fuel gauge and temp gauge have stopped

check your wires to see if they have been pierced by a screw or whatnot, if you have done any work to the car recheck all the screws to see if you screwed them through. If thats not the case, the next easiest step would be to pull your gauge cluster off and make sure the connections havent become dislodged on the backside.

1984 CJ7 stuck in reverse.

you have a bent shift fork or shaft, you will need to remove the dust boot pull the shift snap ring it the shifter is in the floor and pull the shifter stick off then remove the transmisson top cover and replace the reverse first shift fork, this is the most common cause, if it has a columm shifter then disconnet the shifter lever and try shifting if it shifts then you have bent linkage and will need to figure out where it is located.
