My side moldings/bumper are pretty faded whats the best option to get them looking good again?
I know heatgun works for wrangler flares? would they work for the side molding/bumpers?
Also maybe some bedliner? i think that could look really good if done right.
Thanks!

These pics are from the WJ Jeep link under the Freedom Edition section. To give you an idea of the look of a darker bottom, The accesories shown can be ordered.

alot of guys paint/herculine their cladding but i hear it needs touched up often as it doesn't stick real great. I use the mothers trim shine or,as you can see in these pics,armorall works great.

What have you done to your WJ's suspension? I don't see many that are modified in a manner that I would consider, since I'm no off-road'r, but I like the stance of yours. That's sharp!

I was afraid to say that, ive been told on wrangler flare most sprays will chip easily, and the sun and flex will ruin the paint job...
but i have yet to try..

thanks guys...i put it on like every 2 months i guess...as for the jeep, the VERY short list of what i have done is a IRO 4" lift with 33x11 tires. When i had the stock rims on there was very little rubbing but when i put the cragars on i had to trim the **** out of it.
