A Halloween Decorated Jeep, And A Serious Question
 

Body parts, blood, yeahyeahsuresure...But, what is the deal with the weird front fender cutouts? And the large holes, there's another, similar hole at the rear?

I first thought they had something to do with the rest of the decorating job, but I don't know. I don't think a clearance-cut for big tires would have to look like that. Same with fender flares.

Just got my curiosity up is all. Any ideas?

Don't some jeeps have those bolt on rubber fenders? Looks like this one had them and they were removed.

HOLE AT THE BACK = GAS CAP

I think he means the little hole beneath the gas cap.

oh... that's where the bumper mounts. and the holes in the fenders are for the flares.

edit... actually, that's just another fender flare mounting hole...

No idea what any of you are talking about.
But hey - that's pretty cool to me as an adult.

It would have made me feel ill with fear as a child though.
A bit graphic to be on public display...?

Agreed, he's an insensitive bastard. My 9/11 was hit and killed by a fender-less jeep on umm, on uhh Halloween.

I love it!! I wish I had thought of doing that with one of my patrol cars.

Reminds me of one of the Reaver spaceships from Firefly.

I was really wondering more about the weird cutout on the front fender lip. Flares wouldn't need that, and big tires wouldn't require the weird shape either. the holes I've circled in red are too big to make sense if all they're for is a fender flare, and they're too irregularly located. The front fender maybe has some small holes, circled in blue/green, but there are none (apparently) in the back fender.

Also, I just noticed he's flying a Jolly Roger, wtf is that about?

Grav, look at the car.
Is the fact he is flying a Jolly Roger really WTF?

It doesn't LOOK very Jolly.

Roger, Oveur.

Oveur, Unger.

Definitely not Unger. He would have had it so shiny you could see yourself in it.

Point taken.

Joey, ya ever been inside a Turkish prison?

Do you like gladiator movies?

:lol:

Don't know the reason for the shape. Perhaps the factory removed as much metal as they could to facilitate bending the sheet metal, but they made sure to leave some in around the holes to give some extra strength, and they left a bigger opening directly above the center of the wheel to maximize the clearance in case the jeep bottoms out.

It is a standard shape though.

Well I'll be damned. That is just, I don't know, wrong, somehow. And funky (not in a good way).

I guess the flat-sided Jeep is a thing of the past then.

Thanks, Glatt.

They were never flat sided, they always had a fender or vestiges thereof.
