Nope I live in Missouri. The jeep came from CA and I got that plate frame (Niello is a high end dealership) on a Corvette I bought many years ago so I repurposed.

I have followed Davis Autosports forever, about the 6th build and have watched them build some awesome rigs.

I have been waiting for this one to hit the market. It is literally identical in specs to my XJ. Pretty rare combination.

Now I am going to have to find a set of gunmetal wheels they complete the look.

Highly agree! I'm looking to upgrade my wheels to a set of gunmetal colored ones too. I think they look great on a gunmetal pearl XJ's, and that's what I'm working with (4 door though). Mines pretty damn clean, not like yours, but close. The beauty of mine is that mine only has 80k original miles on it. 23k of which I put on it myself.

I'm looking at getting a set of Fuel Anza's, but it's not super important at the moment, so I'll see what else I find before I make my final decision.

Nice, I wish I could find a reasonable lower mileage rig in white. I have a thing for white vehicles.

Those Anza's are nice. I have not decided what my next move will be though.

Centercaps should be back from paint next week. Also snagged a couple of these, and they are amazing.

Also decided it would be a good day for a good vacuum, so I pulled the seats and got it done. No steam until spring.

That is a limited edition Flex. Real men wear pink, I wear a pink stocking cap daily.
