im also cutting the stock fenders into flat fenders, or maybe even order a pair of tube fenders from offroadutopia.com, anlso will be installing my new PSC front stinger:D

also thinking of installin cj turns into the grill. does anyone have any insight on installing the turns into the grill

olive drab looks cool, but will not stay clean. grease and oil here and there make it look crappy too. you will find yourself scotch brighting it instead of washing it... sucks.

but like i said, looks cool. i like your gold tho.

if your paint is good keep it untill you have to do something otherwise if you do paint it make sure you use a good flatner clear coat. i do agree it looks cool but like carwash said it can be a PITA to maintain

Camo is super easy to touch up

Been there done that with desert tan looked good but you did have to keep up with it with the flat finish but easy to touch up. I would not give up a nice factory finish for it. If you are going to do it get the real stuff I know fred raider that used to be on the bored and the other guy with the M715 used the Military grade paint from sherman williams and he said it would stand up to oil and brake fluid etc....

I saw a magazine artical a few years back they used the turn signal lenses out of the sides of the fenders and moved them into the grille and had them in the stock CJ location.................good clean look too!!

thanks i may just keep the keep the factory gold for now.



im not too big on the factory lenses. im really wanting to put the cj turns in. ive seen a few done and its looks pretty sick. i kno i need to cut a 3 5/8 hole for the turns and still have ot figure out the wireing.

im a toyota guy but lostvallyjeep in ohio makes some bad ass tube fenders for heeps lol.

what r prices like..any pics..

I like the olive drab look...Maybe a few camo ghost flames going down the hood.

Just a thought:D

I had some grease on the hood and wiped it off with brake cleaner. Grease is not a problem on mine.
