Did a little Artic Camo Job on the CRD...been thinking about some kind of asymmetrical design using the original white of the Jeep and adding black, light grey and dark grey and then add a silver blue to the front half. The pattern is supposed to represent going thru a river and out thru some dirt. The blue is the water and the rest is the grime.

Also added PIAA Xtreme White bulbs to the headlight and replaced the old fogs with new ones. Got the PIAA's off AutoAnything (using MrRebates.com first for some extra rebate $$$). The total was just under $55.00 shipped. I found the Factory ($150+) on ebay for ~$75 shipped. The PIAAs were a definite improvement over stock. Now I just have to decide what treatment to do to the factory wheels???

Now if you were to just tell me what you were going to do, I would think its not going to look that good.
BUT it turned out pretty cool looking !

Great job

Sometimes a little change makes you like your ride again...and stops you from thinking about spending 25k+ on a new ride. It has gotten a lot of positive comments ... people think it is some kind of "wrap".

I wish I could say I like it but I can't. Points for something different though.

Exactly, every now and again you have to create a new look and then you love it all over again.
Thats where I am with mine, over 10 years and 210,000 miles I still like driving it but needs a new look/makeover
Lets see I have all black, so some white vinyl, yep Zebra KJ :wink:

Maybe a "Ghost Camo" like an undercover cop car...where there is camo but it hides from immediate view.

Or a big change because you don't like it as much anymore.... tearing it apart to build my TJ. Camo and wheels look cool!
