Thanks! Yeah I have some negative camber (was going to get an alignment but never got the chance), but my spacers are only like 20mm. Eventually I'll get that sorted, but at this rate it'll be whenever I get new tires too. I saw a video series (Legitstreetcars) where they lifted an amg version with like, 4 inch spacers, and had to do that to solve the camber issue.

@@jaskolp Good luck man! I'm curious to hear how that goes. I might do 15mm down the line. I'm realizing these things are not the easiest to modify without some fab work. I actually called the shop @Legitstreetcars used, and it wasn't included in the video but they had to weld on additional material to the rear upper A arm mounts to get it aligned.

I think I can, maybe. I've been meaning to do a tour for a long time but have been busy with other things since 'completing' it back in 2021. I don't have much energy these days but I'll see what I can manage. I have some pictures of the interior on my instagrm if you want to check those out in the meantime. Thanks and hope your build goes great!!

The front suspension is torsion bars, and can be adjusted up/down with I think like a 19mm socket wrench.

I have 1998 model, officially they released from 1998 right?

Unfortunately this is with beta blockers. I'm trying to find some meds that help but so far either extremely little or no results.

Facts, & like why were you recording yourself doing that anyways?? Lmao

Thanks! I used Rustoleum spray paints (can be found easily) for the car and trailer. I'd recommend using a high quality enamal clear coat since the clear coat version I used went on poorly and doesn't hold up well after a couple years (especially if using the car for more than just a prop). Here are the color names I used: Warm caramel Hunt Club Green Moss Green Canyon Black There are a few other ML builders who went with the custom color route, but I don't know what the codes for those are. The only one I can think of right now is LakeZide Performance. He has several videos going through restoring a ML and paint/build process.

Thank you so much for the response. Will try and get the paints in the uk. But this is a massive help. Can I as if you used primer on the car before you originally painted the camo ? Also where these all satin colours to ? 😊 and the high quality enamel clear coat a top coat after you finish’s painting. Can I also ask did you have to remove the widows and seal and such while painting or did you manage to just paint up to them originally. Thanks again

Things are pretty much the same for me. I've had a pretty bad energy month so I haven't been able to do much on the vehicles even though the weather is nicer. I think I just scrapped together enough content for another video lol.

Awesome!! There's a lot of info on the movie vehicles these days (not as much as the Jeep or Explorer, but more than a few years ago). Once you get the car, join the JPMP Workshop group and you'll be able to get some help from other Jurassic Park vehicle builders.

@@jaskolp Thank you for your help, my friend! I feel like we don't live too far from each other. Are you in Idaho?

@@thexskating I am!

@@jaskolp I'm in Wyoming!

It's a hitch mounted carrier from Wilco Off-road. Worked great when I had it.

Yes, all 3 versions of the ML were custom built for the movie and there weren't commercially available versions of the movie ones.

Nope, the original springs were sagging a lot so while I gained about 2in from where I was at I probably only gained closer to about 1.25in from factory.

Thanks!

Thanks!

😂😂👍👍

I think field mice, more than likely, I guess 1 decided to set up shop in my ML for a few nights. Still haven't seen any trace of it since.

Yes! Right now there's a lot more if it where I'm at.

Thank you! Hopefully I'll get better but I'm just taking 1 day at a time.

Thanks!

Thanks! Its just a cheap one I got from Amazon, one of those 4 piece baskets you put together, I can't remember the exact brand but there's tons of them on Amazon. I think It weighs around 30lbs, and it holds my spare tire and lift jack well. Its a good budget option.

@@jaskolp Awesome, thanks for the info!

Thank you!

Thank you!! If I remember right it's actually pine, and it does have a nice smell to it! They are tounge and grove boards, and we're extremely easy to install. Behind them I have foam board insulation between the steel frame, and eventually I want to change the ceiling out to be real wood as well (used panel board because of cost at the time). I'm hoping to finish v2 of the solar upgrades this year, if I can manage to do so..

Thanks! I bought the spacers from another ML guy who decided he wasn't going to use them. Think there's a few online shops where you can buy them still. I mostly learned everything by seeing what others had done and then doing it myself. Although there's a healthy dose of "doing it myself" since with these older ML's there are a lot of 20 year old dead forums online lol.

This was near Lake Tahoe California. From what I was told this was more than the regular amount they usually get, and after the snow stopped it didn't snow again there for over 2 months.

It was fun!! I painted mine black, I haven't seen any stock black ones. If you do paint it make sure you sand it really good because the paint will start chipping after a few drives.

Oooohhh. Thanks for pointing that out!

Nope....that's what it sounds like with a crack in one of the catalytic converters lol. One of the things I need to get fixed on the ML this year.

Yeaaah, but I want a floating porch. Each rachet strap is rated for 600lbs, so I need to replace the bolts on the ramp with some longer ones that the strap hooks can 'lock' to. Other than that (I did adjust them to actually stay on) minor thing they hold well.
