That should have been a factory color for the Renegade. It looks right at home. Nice work!

If it ends up missing, It wasn't me. I assure you.

Is the ARB bumper getting painted to match?

Loving how the Jeep turned out! Posting the pics on Facebook for Jose to see. Hope he doesn't get any ideas out of this :roll:

Wish I could do something like that. :mrgreen:

Anything else you have planned for the KJ?

Once you paint and install a RL rear bumper with carriers and RL roof rack, then you’ll have that hardcore military look. :mrgreen:

i'm crossing the "gears and locker" bridge now... maybe next year i'll be able to do the RL rear bumper and tire carrier... i want one SO badly!

the only thing i have planned for it next (besides the gears and detroit) is to copy fulltimers door handle holes. Think it'll look pretty cool on there.

i'm thrilled with how it came out! still have to re-wrap the winch... and give it a good cleaning.

Well, I did it in opposite order. I have the RL rear bumper and I have the gears sitting in the closet, but I don’t have the lockers or gears installed yet. Your KJ (once finished with the RL rear bumper and roof rack) will be my favorite Jeep on LOST. You have done a superior job, one that will not be easily topped. :rockon:

^^^ Thank you kid sir! i believe that if your going to do something... do it right the first time. so NO corners were cut. everything was completely disassembled sprayed.. and put back together. Everything was prepped properly so the paint isnt going to fall off or fail. I did absolutely everything myself. take apart, put together, hang in the booth, tape, mask, prep, fix, paint, prime, hang bumpers and doors. everything with no help. that's why it took so long! Kinda nice because now i know that every single nut, bolt, clip, plastic clip, rivit.. is in the exact place it was taken out of haha. worth it in the end! :pepper:

my favorite part is that you can not see any red at all (except the engine bay.. havent got to that yet).

Sweet arse Jeep, good job on painting yourself.

Credit where credit is due on the door handles goes to the designers of the Liberator build...unless Mudd had something to do with that.
