Any mods planned for it?

Tires, recovery points, skid plates.

Front bumper was really sun damaged and faded, decided to paint with krylon black satin.
Not to fond of the look, its either paint the flares and the rest of the plastic trim the same
Or try to find some gray plastic paint and repaint the bumper.
I think im opting for the gray paint.

Changed my mind - painted the front flares with rustoleum bumper and trim paint and repainted bumper with same. Will post finished pics tomorrrow or next day after I finish the side trim, rear flares and rear bumper.

I was going to say it looks good with the all black flairs!

Thanks, bad pic with the shade. Decided on the black as touch up paint is readily available at stores. Didnt feel like makin an internet order everytime I drove through some brush lol.

Looks good. I'd have done the same thing you did. Now it's time to hit those rims with the touch o black. I'm 99% sure that your jeep had some front end damage, and that faded bumper was a junk yard find. Otherwise I think it would have faded more evenly with the flairs.

You could be right but if it was it was never turned in to insurance according to carfax.

Prepped and painted - (paints still wet)

Note to anyone using rustoleum bumper and trim paint for this purpose. It develops runs very easily and the nozzle is not quite as good as krylons in my opinion. So take your time.

And yes the wheels are next on the list. Going with the rustoleum flat black rust inhibitor. It did a good job on the undercarriage.

Looks good. I kinda like Silver Libertys :lol:

Kjon was right on about the front end damage, when i cut the plastic bumper off I can now see a slight crumple in the metal behind it. Even carfax isnt a sure bet.
