I'm checking this out tomorrow at a local dealer. Think it'll look funny if I put a 1-2" lift, slightly bigger A/T tires, and some custom bumpers on it? All the chrome makes it look like a street queen lol. Anyone have a Limited built like this?

I think it would look nice. It seems to sag a lot in the front though, how old are the springs?

keep the chrome, get bumpers, maybe go with black bumpers and repaint your fender flares black? nice thing about the limiteds, is theyre a hell of a nice jeep and you can do about anything to them you want and it just looks better and better

I'm not sure... haven't designed them yet. :D

But I do like the look of this one (Fulltimer's truck), though I probably won't get a winch:

I made these for XJ's for a while and had fun with it.

If you do design one based off of the one I have I could give you an idea or 2 about changes. If you want to off road it I would get rid of the cute little things under the rocker panels. One hit and they would be history.

I’m probably in the minority, but I like the chrome look.

I think the chrome does look bad.

My first attempt at getting it toned down a bit on my 07 Limited....

The it chipped a bit and the chrome showed through, now I have a painted (Sport) grilled that is black. Others have gotten the grey ones that sport models have. I am trying to loose all my chrome. I have sport grey side mouldings to put on as soon as I can find the time to clean her up and switch them out.
