Any specs on the weight savings over a steel CJ hood?
When you run out of stock, how long is your typical leadtime for the next batch?
I would be buying around the first part of August, just trying to plan.

Plastic hoods weigh about 6 lbs. I am not sure how much a stock hood weighs. Lead time is about two weeks if we are out of stock.

Do not use conventional paints on polycarb/lexan. It will cause cracking, brittleness and won't stick well.

For best results hit your local hobby store and get polycarb/lexan paint.
Though color matching will be difficult.

Then for a real tough paintjob, paint the inside and leave the outside clear. :)

I am going to do a 52" wide TJ and Liberty. I am not sure on the fenders. I am planing to build the fenders into the chassis so they can take a hit.

What about a YJ hood that would mate to a TJ grill, for those wanting a tj grill on a YJ?

What about a YJ hood that would mate to a TJ grill, for those wanting a tj grill on a YJ?

A TJ grill fits a YJ hood fairly well. Look at the Rig on the cover of Crawl Mag July/August issue. It has a YJ hood and a TJ grill. My Lexan hoods can be trimmed to fit even better than the one in Crawl.

Any idea what shipping would cost to Canada for a TJ hood? L3M 5B1 or I could have it shipped to a warehouse here if thats cheaper but would need to get the shipping info

Does this mean you'll be getting into the business of narrowed hoods? I'm fully convinced that the first guy to offer 48" wide FJ hoods is going to get a bunch of orders right away.

If you need a tester PM me. I promise to put it through its paces. :D

Okay lets take a poll. Who will buy a 48" wide Land Cruiser hood and who will buy a Stock size Samurai hood if I make them?

I'm in for the cruiser hood.

What are the different hoods you are currently manufacturing?
I might be interested in a FJ40 hood. What would be the price? :)

How are these hoods holding up to multiple rollovers. I tend to roll alot and I am tired of destroying factory YJ hoods.
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g280/Madram11/RBD%20pics/DSC_016920Medium.jpg

These hoods hold up very well to abuse. They might scuff a little but that's about it. Check out this link to a roll at donner last summer. I had to replace some tube on my buggy but I still run the same hood.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVUdE8lt9xU

did i hear right that youre not doing the thrasher hoods anymore? They get all soft? Oh well.. lexan it is.

Any news on a narrow front clip for a bronco or a narrow cj hood?

Cole the hoods kill it. What I end up doing is blasting about 2-3 feet of paint of the inside of the hood on hard impacts. I usually pressure wash the inside and add more paint. If you do a good job with the 1/4 turns it really makes a differnace it how it holds up.

Any news on a narrow front clip for a bronco or a narrow cj hood?

Just got the first red hood done. I like it. It is nice to not have to paint.

That's pretty neat. Have you figured out a way to narrow one yet? Did that plastic "welder" work out or was the idea a bad fit for this application?

Are the red ones the same price as the smoke? Would I be able to go to a local plastic shop and buy lexan the same color for skins? That is sweet! Any other colors in the works?

Any hood shipped in the lower 48 states is $100.00 to your door and $50.00 to your nearest greyhound station.We can get hoods in Clear or transparent red,yellow,blue,and grey (smoked).

do the tj hoods have the recesses for the latches and hood hold downs or is it suppose to be used with hood pins?

The clear hoods can be painted any color from the inside , painting them from the inside keeps the paint from scraping off on obstacles . It looks great and they last for a long time !

Also, as I think someone mentioned earlier in this thread - you can use any "candy" paint (tinted clear coat basically) that is safe to use on plastic - obviously - and paint the hood from the inside so it will last longer and will not get scratched or scraped off. So, if you need clear green, get a clear hood and some plastic-safe candy green paint so you can match your hood to the rest of your body panels. The hobby/RC paints (although it would probably take quite a bit) are good since most are made for Lexan and you can darken the shade of the candy paint with each added coat. Maybe this 2cents might help a little

Lexan works great . As you know we live in Tahoe and It gets pretty cold . We've taken the buggies on several snow runs overnight the hoods laugh at the cold.We also used them all last year during our races including KOH so they also laugh at heat. I would say they are virtually indestructable . You can bend them in half , jump on them , roll on them.............We've done it all The hoods are awesome.

Ouch! unfortunatly you have dirt on the hood, so the warranty is void due to possible scratches :flipoff2: :laughing: - that is a joke!


Yes we have them avail still. Can ship one out to you no problem.

These hoods have been working very well for me on the race buggies. I wouldn't of using anything else. When trimmed they weigh about 5 lbs and are very durable. You really can jump up and down on them. This season i started getting the whole car wrapped. The wrap sticks great to the hood and you dont have to deal with painting. I have had the car at speeds over 100 mph and had no issues, even towing on the open trailer for 1000s of miles.

Unfortunatly no. THe hinges will work if you make a thin plate to go under the hood so the bolts don't deform or pull through the 3 holes. But the fender latches will not, you'll need to convert to hood pins, or 1/4 turn fasteners.

Sorry I didn't see this until today. We normally use a small air body saw and tape for cut lines. And sneak up on where we think it needs to be as we constantly test fit to assure we didn't go to far. We did that on the first one. :(
