That looks really great. I love that gecko basket.

I have a question though, doesnt it seem like it should have a front and rear horizontal bar on it to complete the basket? At least one in the back?

I can see where you would possibly want something like that, but I do not find it an issue. I have not, to date, had anything up there so it is hard for me to judge. As stout as it is I have always planned to either have a cargo bag type of thing such as this for some things:

http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/pod/horizontal-pod.jsp?id=0006494&navCount=1&parentId=cat20131&masterpathid=&navAction=push&cmCat=MainCatcat21412-cat20131&parentType=index&indexId=cat20131&rid=

As far as others, I plan to use the strength of the gecko to use ratcket straps to hold anything up there.

Thanks btw, i really like the way it looks.

I know what you mean, those Black KJ's with their ARB's and the Kumho Tires are all crap anyway...

Thanks.

Very nice! Looks Great, Love the basket and lights....

I don't like people spending my money for me.... :roll:

BUT... I think it would look a little better if you painted the Chrome trim in the middle of the doors...
Just a thought... It's still a thing of beauty.....

Cheers
Chris

Just paint in the work Liberty to make it stand out! I did mine that way with a bottle of touch up paint that matched my body color.

If I do a one or the other I would do this. Paint everything except the letters.

I might just order some paint code match sport ones and switch them out.

I was going to do the same thing with my kj sport... I was going to rip off the gray ones , and buy new ones. you can't resuse them once you pull them off...Then I was going to have them Line-xed...

Went to the dealership to get them and they were $95. + tax...
color matching might even be more...
It was cheaper to Line-x the rest of the door... so I went that route.
