So I was just curious . . . Have you ever heard of the Jurassic park movies?

I almost did this to my 87 wrangler since it's the square lights model but I decided it would look to tacky on it.

I have a feeling your going to regret doing that.
But to each, is to own.

LOL idk why but I like the way it looks... Probably because I love Jurassic Park, I always wanted one of the Explorers from the movie.

I haven't read the book, but I read somewhere that in the book they use Toyota's instead of Explorers. The only reason Explorers were used is because Ford donated(or something like that) them for the movie.
EDIT: "While Crichton's book features Toyota cars on Jurassic Park, Spielberg got a deal with the Ford Motor Company, who provided seven Ford Explorers.[48][49] The Explorers were modified by ILM's crew and veteran customizer George Barris to create the illusion that they were autonomous cars by hiding the driver in the car's trunk.[50] Barris also customized the Jeep Wranglers featured in the production.[51]"

I've heard they were originally supposed to be LCs

I really like that it's very different from anything else that you will ever run into. Plus the fact that it can be undone so quickly, if you ever get tired of it. It looks like a fun project. The raptor claw/teeth marks will be great!

That looks awesome! Even so when it was filmed it would have been a 2nd Gen, but just saying it wouldn't be a stretch having a Runner there.
