Atempted round 2 of stenciling. Didn't come out too bad. Still not perfect though. I'm prettty happy and will duplicate this on the other side. Found a brush guard I'm going to mount next week. Built the roof rack myself it seems pretty damn sturdy and I love it. Painting that when I put the guard on.

I love the way this is turning out. I would love to do one when Im done with the jeep. Just throwing this out there, I think your wheels look great, but Im thinking the ford explorer wheels will bolt up correctly if you ever wanted to look into that.
Go ahead, make fun of my JP jeep. Then all of a sudden a T-rex comes out of nowhere!!!!!!!!............The jeep only sets 4, who's laughing now?

Thanks! Yeah you are right the explorer wheels will. I'm trying to see if I can get lucky on craigslist and find a set of rims with decent tires already on them lol.

Might be the same size. just find the wheels, paint them, have a tire shop switch them out. Try a pull-a-part, or any junkyard.

Coincidently the owner local jeep shop (telling the truth) has the rims when I need them. Waiting to pick those up when I have the money. Putting what I have right now towards a hitch and maybe a winch. Just picked up the brush guard today. Re-fabbing some parts so it fits perfect. Couldn't pass that up for $25! Doing that and painting the roof rack Thursday morning. On a pointless note, I'm kind of excited about winter this year lol never had a jeep to help me get through.
