What a great result! Looks like someone designed a CJ in the 21st century. Following your project from out of country for the last few months has been a great pleasure. Can't wait to see what it looks like on the jeep!

Couldn't agree more. I was reluctant to trim the grill due to the difficulty involved but if your JL one made it to market I wouldn't even consider it. I think the inboard lights with the small CJ3/5 non-bezel ring style fits the modern look of the nose, and gives it a more traditional keystone...

That's a winner in my book. One thing I've wondered is if placing the markers more inboard might give the impression of more of a keystone look to the grill? I've considered cutting my JK grill down to a more keystone vs the current oval-ish design before, but putting a small marker might draw...

I know you're taller than the average bear but from what it looks like the lower step height looks well-suited for reaching anything on the rack. With one on either side, I'd bet that all but the most vertically challenged would have no trouble with just the one step on the lower hinge. I think...

These seem like a very viable product to me, given how many people already purchase trail armor for their trucks. Adding functionality to the protection they would offer seems like a win especially since it wouldn't necessarily raise the price of what people already pay terribly. I am pretty...

Not sure reinforcing the rack by tying into the sports bar would lend enough strength to support a heavy spare, but it would probably help with heavier accessories to do something like this: (forgive my crude sketch) It would require drilling through the top and weatherproofing, but a simple...

Knocked it out of the park! I wish Jeep would offer an overland wrangler optioned with these exact features alongside the rubicon package. Even as a limited run to commemorate an anniversary, and then have the components in the mopar catalog for enthusiasts to recreate. This looks like an OEM...

What a cool find on the emblem, I think I'll love it on the retro-rhino grill but it doesn't grab me quite as much on the JK grill. Maybe given the overland safari theme of this truck toss one of these on the front quarter panel? Very excited to see the fenders matched as well. Off topic...

You know what would be a great addition to these is an adapter to cheaply be able to mount spring retractable folding motorcycle pegs something like these...

Plus one more on giving the fenders a greenlight for production. It's a unique offering in the market. I bet if you even staged a photoshoot with the color-matched flares and a set of large knobby tires (I'm betting the market looking for these flares is probably already running larger tires to...

That looks great! Added protection if it's done in heavier gauge and super clean lines. I've got to ask, have you put the rhino grill on the above mock up? Maybe it's just me, but with the flat fenders it seems more appropriate for a willys wagon build like below: I know you are mainly...

Threw in a comparison with the rails as well just bc most the willys out there have uniform paint. Kind of reminds me of these: Maybe a swoopy chrome bumper is in order?

True true, tough to really photograph subtle paint differences and get a good representations on a computer screen either way. Fingers crossed there's a good match in the more affordable mix. Even if there isn't though, black looks really good so no worries regardless. Of course there's a much...

One more for good measure, fiddling around with GIMP 2 I bet someone with more skills that me could put a realistic set of 35s on as well.

Another angle, slightly better attempt. More I look at it, the better I like the color match. That is until you pointed out the cost of a pint of it, good grief! At least the color match it pretty darn close from the pic. re: tire choice, can't go wrong with the trusty BFG A/T. C-Rated is cheap...

So moral of the story, I don't know how to use photoshop. I have to say though, the body matched option looks extremely sharp to me. Keeps the willy's style more I think.

Thank you for the in-depth reply, makes me want to get familiar with sketchup and get after a couple of projects myself! Excited to see how the rear fenders turn out, all the best from Fort Benning Georgia.

I like the "B" small radius the most as it preserves the "flatty" look, but also matches the rear bumper in as unobtrusive a way as can be done I think. Can't help wondering what it would look like with the original side step running board as well. The way they both terminate now into open space...

My two cents, as someone who has had poor luck throwing cash at my laptop screen trying to buy your barndoor, it would be very interesting to gauge the market with a funding goal similar to teespring's model. There are several webapps available now that would simplify the process a well...

'08 jku Sahara, 750 for the package would be an instant purchase. Needing to paint and add a 200 dollar washer option quickly turns the door into an very expensive proposition. Would that include the modular hardware to mount accessories to the tailgate or a simple bracket for the upper? Would...
