New Mexico JP Jeep 04!
Re: New Mexico JP Jeep 04!
Since yours will be a TJ, and a "variant" buy whatever you feel is appropriate.. but if you want feedback, those "rear lights" are too short, IE not the right size. And the overheads are the wrong color, and you would need to make a custom guard for them, and the real ones were remote/motorized aimed, those you aim manually.

Im fine with not having the jabasco lights for right now. However I was looking at my jeep and realized that theres not enough room on the rear passengers side to mount the rear fog light, because the door will hit it
Has anyone ever tried using a rattle-can to paint their (current)soft-top instead of buying a tan soft-top
like what kind of paint will stick to it well and LAST for a good LONG TIME?

I cant remember who painted their black soft top spice. Someone used sem paint/die to paint theirs. It looked good after three coats. Whether it is holding up or not im not sure. Maybe he will see this post and chime in. Start doing searches. He posted before and after photos. I say go for it!

Re: New Mexico JP Jeep 04!
You should paint it beige instead of keeping it black and painting the red stripes it won't look right if you do that. It cost about a grand for the sandy beige low gloss metallic and the red but me and my dad painted it at our house instead of paying someone to do it.
Re: New Mexico JP Jeep 04!
Well im hoping to go to a scrapyard this weekend to see if I can find a light bar and some sidesteps, or anything else that I need 
I found these step bars online but I don't have 190$ to spend on steps, but if I have to I will

Update:
I had no luck searching the local junkyards for step bars/ whatever you wanna call them. But as of now I am no longer going to be working on my jeep until further.
Mom and grandmama don't know how to shutup
(I love them dearly but still)
End up Popping curb in moms new car
(2013 Kia optima)
Bottom line is now I have to pay for an alignment for my moms car, and I got to re-chrome one of the rims ( I already sanded it smooth just needs to be cleaned and its ready for paint)
Soooo ya now I gotta come up with monies that I DO NOT have to pay for it, and my mom still won't shutup about the whole ordeal.
So my JP jeep is on hold until further notice

Re: New Mexico JP Jeep 04!
No big deal yet. Getting a wheel refinished wont be but a couple hundred and a alignment is $60 out here. If it even needs a alignment. It might get put on the rack and then it not need it.
