I'd say just build it nice and clean since your business is detailing and not bother making it "jeepspeed"

Fiberglass and cold weather don't get along very well.

That's what I'm kind of thinking. Kind of like that white one I posted.

keep it simple.

Imo a business jeep doesn't need a winch, roofrack, snorkel, cut fenders or 33s.

Well that's what I got to work with so might as well make it look decent and a little offroadish.

I think the one you posted looks better. imho I bet $ the fiberglass fenders crack first really cold night. can always fix them but wont ever look clean again. I like the urban wheeler look. clean and fresh looking. if your rig is all dented and beat up no1 with a car collection is caling. but the guys I know with big $ and lottsa cars would call a guy in a lifted truck that looks clean cuz that's what they have in there garage. they don't take 60k land rover restorations to the cliffs..... if you want high level clients you need to appeal to those clients.

I plan on ordering those actually for the white one. They are like the JCR ones I have on the trail rig minus the tail light boxes and they have that bar. They look pretty cool.

I like the idea of keeping it clean and lifted. I think with winters we have had the fiberglass would possibly break real quick especially on rough roads in the dead of winter. Get the JCR basket when its released to get that sleek low pro look.
