Are you having them print the license plate?

You should be getting your license plate from celebrity machines. Just tell him what number you want when you order

Progress is going to be really really slow for a little bit. School just resumed and with this being senior year all the big planning starts. I'll be doing small enhancements over time, starting with the door logos then onto the wheels and lastly the CB antenna setup. Craigslist in my area has been a pain in the ass trying to obtain the winch or wheels. The only option I have for the wheels is to buy them off a parts yard for 50 bucks per wheel without inspecting their condition. Trying to do my best to hang on by the skin of my teeth but I'll make it work.

any updates?

for wheels you should go with the Grizzlies or Eccos; both are the same 5-star style, but are TJ appropriate.
There is a set of grizzlies for sale in the area for $100 I believe...
or better yet, paint yours. They are Jeep rims, they are 5-stars...

for the door graphics, I would go with decals, not magnets. Think about it; "ooh, look, a Jurassic Park Jeep!" touch-touch-touch- "these are magnets!" peel- GONE!

There is an update, and a sucky one at that.

I recently totaled my daily driver, leaving me with only the jeep.

It was just me in the car. A deer came out in front of me on the way to work and when dodging it I went off the road and hit a line of fence posts. I didn't have any injuries besides a bruised arm, thankfully.

Update: No luck on the wheels, they were sold.

Wow it's been over a year and I'm still not done, but in the meantime I've collected some "props." Brownie points to whom can tell me what type of dinosaur this is:
