How hard is that to do and make it look good? Probably going to to the same with mine. Also I think a hi lift jack might have been a better option for mounting to the hood vs the baby seat :) :-)r

Finished Product, I had a run on one wheel and a couple of spots of orange peel (ontop of the factory Cactus green orange peel) but it looks good from a couple feet away...they will just get scratched up eventually anyway :twisted: as for the baby seat, she like to see the action up close!:

Image

I really hope I don't get a flat because i was to lazy to get the spare down so it is still cactus green :shock:

up close:

I shoulda brought out the bleache-white and cleaned the letters up but oh well

Image

and just for the heck of it here is some shots of how the Jeep looks today (dirty)

pay no attention to that missing lugnut in the last pic...it is in my wife's KJ.

Well painted the wife's today, but decided to go for a gunmetal to try and match the Rene wheels. I also outlined the letters on her tires, I am sorry I just like white letters :D Notice I didn't bother to clean any of the jeep from last weekends outing cept the wheels haha. The only thing clean on my jeep is the reattached fender flare oh and the license plates on both since they came today.

Image

Image

Image

Not a direct match to the renegade wheel but still looks good to me:

Image

Woo Hoo, new plates:

The Taillight Covers are MOPAR pieces and come in black, chrome or graphite and can be bought online or at the dealer for around 100 a pair. But be warned they are for show as they are plastic

I know you stole the idea from me remember lol j/k, I kept putting it on the roof, then on the tailgate, then roof, and repeat, but it is staying up there for good now!!

The funny thing is that I took a 260 mile trip last night and gained 2mpg with the tire on the roof, go figure that out

just cause you live in VA doesn't mean we cant have a northeast meet and greet with ya, meetin' half way or so. I know that its a 16 hour drive to Hopkinsville, KY, so i can calculate the drive to your town. what town are you in? I was actually planning on going down to KY to wheel at Turkey Bay anyway! I could stop by and say hi!

And there are many KJ's out here that i see regularly, as i knew them from LOST, but my KK would only want a date with yours :-)r No offense my KJ friends <3
