I won't be using the bumper end caps. Just the center. I'm looking for either chilli pepper red bumper caps for my other jeep and use black ones on it or some black bumper caps to just put on the Miss. So if anyone needs white front bumper caps let me know. My black flares are already spoken for.

Got the 4x4 stick on emblems on sides,jeep, and the 4.0 emblems removed off the back hatch. Oh and the Jeep emblem on the front header panel removed too. Part of that whole clean look. Now to remove the pin stripes then its in to buffing. Got the back seat all cleaned and back in. Also washed up the the door jam. Looking more like a Miss clean everyday.Nice productive Saturday.

My buddy got a 2000 Cherokee today. Its loaded with jeep accessories. Running boards, mud flaps, rear hatch spoiler, and window vent shades all jeep. I think he is going with the anniversary black Rubicon wheels. Same wheels I want to go with on miss clean but black edition.

Picking up a set of Jk 17x7.5 Moabs today for a steal. ($80) Wanted the 2014-2015 Rubicon wheels but they cost more than I have in the budget.
Now I'm on the hunt for a set of all terrain or mud terrains in a 255/75/17 or 255/80/17.
if the right deal comes along I may go for a 265/70/17 or 265/75/17

Dang, I was looking forward to seeing that set up with the Rubicon wheels.
You've done a great job cleaning her up.

Oh I'm still looking for a set just had to jump on the moabs. Too good to pass up. I really hope a set comes up that's not $800+ I may just end up buying people's spare rims one at a time till I get a full set. Easier to drop $200 per wheel/tire than $800+ all at once for me. Then I'll sell the moabs or store them for another build

Thanks RHCC been trying to make her shine.
Well RedStar I hope I fall into a deal on the new Rubicon wheels so I can inspire you. Your rig is real close to the look I'm after. Just nice clean rig. Really think the new Rubicon wheels would look sharp. JCR off road built a jeep with the rubi wheels and it looks awesome! Though they are running a metric 33 on 4.5 inches of lift with the notch flares

They just don't look natural. They're too shiny & foreign looking for an American SUV. But they look great & blend in perfectly with white.
I didn't like the newer rubi wheels at first but they've definitely grown on me, especially the black ones.

I agree about the marker lights. I can't wait to get a white grill on the Miss. Gonna really start to look clean then. I've got a few mods I have yet to see done that will really carry the clean look I'm after.
I have really always wanted a white jeep. Makes me consider selling my red one to build white one how I want but I just don't know if I could bring myself to do it. I'd have to swap the stroker motor cause I've got a lot of time into it and I just love the power.

Thanks arcticXJ. I'm use to seeing xjs grow and then be a compromise for dding. I'm going for capable but practical. I'm not one to follow trends, I know what I like. Keeping it clean with the white xjs only way to do it

Got the passenger side white flares on today. Looks much better, though I don't like the front white bumper end caps. I'll get that sorted soon enough. A lil more each day.

I believe pin stripping is factory, but it's not staying. I don't like how it's below the body line. It doesn't match up with the side marker lights and tail lights. I'm not sure of when or what models got what as far as pin striping. I'm sure someone on here chiming in. Mine is a base xj and my classic doesn't have them and neither dose my buddies sport. My mom has 98 classic I have a 99 classic my buddy has a 99 sport and another buddy has a 00 sport and another buddy has a 00 classic and none of there jeeps have the pin stripes??
Edit: ( I was just looking at racejeeps build on his 97 and it has the pin stripes below like my 97 so maybe it's a 97 only thing.)
